Why are hacksaw blades made with different sized teeth?
Why do hacksaw blades have different-sized teeth? Different levels of cutting power can be provided by different sized teeth. Smaller blades with a greater number of teeth are better suited to work on softer materials, while larger blades with more teeth are better suited to work on harder materials.
