Last updated: April 2026 dataStraight saw blades designed specifically for cutting metal — including hacksaw blades and power-hacksaw blades — serve maintenance, fabrication, and metalworking operations across manufacturing and construction industries. The end-use specification (working metal) is the classification boundary that separates these blades from straight blades intended for wood or other materials, which would fall under the residual saw blade category. Tooth pitch, blade hardness, and bimetal versus high-speed steel construction are the key commercial specifications that buyers and importers track.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. Bimetal construction is a common manufacturing method for metal-cutting hacksaw blades and does not change the classification. The intended use (cutting metal) and straight-blade form are the controlling factors.
Manufacturer product specifications, catalog descriptions noting tooth pitch (teeth per inch) appropriate for metal cutting, and commercial invoices describing the blades as 'for metal cutting' or 'hacksaw blades' all support correct classification. Tooth geometry and pitch are the clearest technical indicators.
