Install blade with teeth pointing forward (away from handle). Apply light, steady pressure – let the blade do the work. Use the full length of the blade with smooth, even strokes. For best results, use cutting fluid on hard metals. Replace blade when cutting becomes slow or difficult.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaterial Cutting Guide\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoft metals\u003c\/strong\u003e (aluminum, brass, copper) – 18 TPI, moderate speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMild steel, iron\u003c\/strong\u003e – 24 TPI, steady pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStainless steel, hard metals\u003c\/strong\u003e – 32 TPI, slow speed, cutting fluid recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThin tubing, sheet metal\u003c\/strong\u003e – 32 TPI to prevent tooth snagging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlastic pipes\u003c\/strong\u003e – 18-24 TPI, slow speed to prevent melting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfessional Quality:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sandflex blades are manufactured by Bahco, a Swedish company with over 130 years of tool-making expertise.
