Does anybody have a hacksaw with a toothless blade?

2/12/2006 10:06:59 PM

no, plenty of worn out sawzall blades though. long and short.

are you just talking about a blade that's been worn out? Or do they really make a "toothless" hacksaw blade?

You could flip the blade and have the flat edge pointed down...

i'm trying to saw a carbon fiber pipe/tube. i suppose i could use a regular bladed hacksaw with a guide. but i read that those don't work. i don't really want to fuck anything up.

for a good clean cut you could use a radiator hose clamp, you know the ring w/ the adjustable screw. i'm not sure if that's the right name, haha. but yeah, u could put that around your pipe/tube and that'd get you a good straight cut if you followed the clamp. hth

i don't know much about CF but what about a chop saw w/ an metal grade abrasive disc...

i have a wet dry tile saw with a diamond blade you could try, but itd be kinda hard to control though trying to cut tubing

2/12/2006 11:07:13 PM

pretty sure that article is just recommending a good metal/tile cutting blade, versus a wood blade.

^ a hacksaw is really what he should use, as carbon/cf cuts like butter anyway. using a power tool is waaaayyy overkill.

overkill is good, but yeah just get a 36 or more tpi hacksaw blade and you should be good
