Stanley 217206 300mm/ 12-inch FatMax PVC and Plastic Saw

Product Information

Tenon saws are used for both hard and soft wood where precision is needed. They produce a neat finish and offer the user full control as the blade doesn’t flex. These are suitable for making deep and accurate cuts in joinery. Wear clothing that fits well. Loose clothing or accessories can get caught in a tool’s moving parts, which could result in dire consequences.

Power tools can sell for a decent price, which has opened up the doors to cheap and fake tools coming onto the market to maximise profit. The issues we have with such tools are that they may not provide the power needed to complete the job given. Also, many of them are made with flimsy materials that could fall apart easily with the vibrations of usage. The best-case scenario is that the tool will stop working, but in the worst case, they can explode, burst into flame or shatter over the user. Make sure you maintain your tools by performing regular maintenance tasks like grinding or sharpening. Remember to follow the manufacturer’s instructions while you’re doing this. The blade should feature a lacquer coating for both weather resistance and reduced friction when cutting wood. Not a saw made out of plastic – a plastic saw is designed specifically for cutting through plastic.

When working at heights, never leave tools lying out in the areas where they could present a hazard to the people below. Cheap drill bits do not cut well when they are brand new and don’t cut cleanly either. It will make the job slower and more difficult. It can be challenging to identify if a cheap drill bit is doing a good job because they can work great on lighter materials. Once you go to use it on the heavier stuff, however, you will run into an array of issues that will frustrate you. PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) Pull-stroke saws have thinner blades and are designed for more delicate cuts. You should have more control pulling the saw towards you, allowing you to make more precise cuts with a neat finish. The blade is likely to be thinner and more delicate, however, so more care will be needed. As with any product, when you’re shopping online you’re often given a set of alternative products to consider. These aren’t always the same type of product, but usually products that people are interested in when they’ve bought Stanley FatMax PVC & Plastic Saw 12″. On most modern saws the teeth are ‘set’ (bent out away from the blade). You can see this if you turn the saw over and look straight down the blade. However, on some plastic-cutting saws, the teeth are not set. Manufacturers claim that this reduces ‘burring’ which often occurs when sawing plastic.

When you are finished using a compression tool like a nail gun, make sure that the pressure is released before you break the hose connections. If you’re looking for something a bit different then Bahco Prizecut Hard Point Toolbox Saw 14″ is a great suggestion. Keep your index finger on the side of the hand saw to give you more control. Your wrist, elbow and shoulder should be aligned with the blade. Begin by making two or three upward strokes with the hand saw until the teeth start to bite into the wood. When in control of a hand or power tool, it is your responsibility to do everything in your power to keep you and the environment safe. That means wearing visors, gloves, goggles with anti-fogging coatings, vented respirators, face masks made of premium cushion materials and ear muffs with soft ear cups.

It’s also worth considering your frame when deciding on the best length of saw. Someone who is 6’2″ will prefer a different saw to someone who is 5’5″. The taller person will naturally have a longer saw stroke, and the saw you choose will need to be a couple of inches longer than this length. Number of Teeth First of all, many well-known brand names tend to boast about their flagship tools in television, trade magazines and online ads. They tend to make the harder jobs look extremely simple when using their specific brand. Of course, the basis of this is to help sell their product. So is this a realistic representation of what the tool can do for you, especially if you’re just starting out? The answer is no. Different skill levels and experience has a significant factor in the effectiveness of a tool, as well as other things. The teeth are very small and sharp, which means that the saw is capable of producing a very neat cut, with minimal damage to the surface of the material. An ergonomic handle is an extremely important feature of the hand saw. Ideally, it should be both screwed and welded to the blade. Blades can be as long as 550mm (22″) – the longer the blade, the longer and more efficient the stroke.
