Can cut to size using hacksaw (stainless is tough!)

Bought two of these; one I cut down to size to fit on the side of a kitchen cabinet.  Stainless tubing was more work than usual to cut but that's the price of having strong material.  The end pieces pull off the tubing; each has a cover that slides off to give access to the screw hole.

The reviews I read of this product led me to believe that I would be able to easily cut the metal with an X-acto knife type of craft tool. I found that I had to make several passes, and risk damaging the main project in trying to cut out small patterns. Once I was able to cut the pattern out, I really enjoyed working with the product.

To make it from Stainless with Snap Rings is over the top awesome. Problem is it was machined (turned) far below the inside diameter of Strikemaster Augers. Had to build it up with Weld and re-turn it on a Lathe to correct the sloppy fit

i had a project in mind for the broom closet in the kitchen where i was going to install shelving to hold shoes. i checked the dimensions and the materials and found that i could just cut about 8 inches off each of the shelves for it to slide right into that closet. all i used was a hack saw and a pair of scissors and it came out beautiful.

I was using a dremel with the cutting wheel to cut off the ring. Sometimes I end up cutting in too deep into the actual copper pipe. This thing takes very little effort, kind of pricey but it does save you time.

I have a 5.5" flex stainless pipe This was a little bit too big but I used a pair of metal snips to clip the edge down. Aside from that it was awesome.

I had to cut 1-1/8" holes in a 14 gauge stainless steel box (about 1.9mm thick).  First I tried a Bosch bi-metal bit and it barely scratched the metal before it was toasted.  The Greenlee kit looked like a good solution.  It is expensive but these are handy diameters for electrical conduit (1/2", 3/4" & 1").  The bits seem to be very high quality.  There is plastic case that protects the bits and has a recommended speed chart.  The chart recommended 375 RPM for stainless.  I had to cut at 620 because that's the lowest on my drill press.  I went slow and used lots of cutting fluid.  It took a while but it made a clean hole and the bit still looks new.  The spring on the bit worked well to eject the metal donut after the cut.  The maximum cutting depth is 8 gauge (4mm).  The kit includes the 3 hole cutters, an extra pilot drill and a hex key.

Nice hacksaw.  Easy to hold and to control due to ergonomic shape.  Seems like a lot of plastic compared to my other hacksaws, but very rugged.  It has many smaller saw handles it breaks down to.  But I would just have another handle for using a hacksaw blade without the normal "bow" hacksaw frame rather than taking it apart to use the different handles.

If you're willing to make a few cuts with a strong utility knife, the quality and fit of these is amazing.

Pros:
- Sturdy and fairly thick rubber will take some serious abuse with minimal wear (more on this below)
- Trim to fit shape is great. Whether you want a tight fit, or prefer a bit more play around the edges, there is a cutting edge that will suit your needs.
- Patterned grip and bowl-shaped center catch anything you track in, and keep water in one place
- Made in the USA! The folks in Illinois know a tad about inclement weather, and the rugged quality of these is a testament to their experience.

Consideration: As this is a stamped rubber mat the back of these is hollow and can catch dirt that does make it around the edges. I would pay a bit more for a thicker option, but that doesn't mean this one is flimsy! I do understand that as a non-custom mat it makes sense to conserve materials in this way.

The knife is great! I bought it to cut my homemade sourdough bread. The bottom crust can be hard to cut, at least with my previous serrated knife. I like the weight of my new knife and it's super sharp. It does a great job cutting my bread. Thank you!

Had to use a hacksaw to cut bars to fit some short drawers, but no real problem.  Works as advertised.

This saw is a beast.  I mean, it is heavy.  I like this model over some of the other varieties of high tension frames because the pins that hold the blade on go THROUGH the frame (rather than just protrude from it).  My fear is that the pins are going to pop out of the other variety.  Even if you lost the pins or they sheared- they would be easy to replace.  Also this is one of the very very few hacksaws MADE in the USA.

Great knife. Size is great for most cutting needs.

This is a hacksaw blade glued into a block of wood. I bought it because my wife had requested it. So, she's ok with it. But, imagine my frustration level when I open the package to see a $16 hacksaw blade! If you have no idea of what I'm talking about, then go for it and make the purchase. If you are familiar with what I'm talking about, then please go to your shed and follow these instructions. First take a piece of scrap wood and set your table saw blade to about a quarter inch. Run the edge of the wood down the blade. You need to have a groove running down the edge of the board. Next take a new hacksaw blade and break it to the length of the groove you cut. Glue the blade into the groove with the teeth facing out. Your done! And it didn't cost you anywhere near 16 bucks.

I got this hacksaw just to have around for everyday use, and although I have only used it a handful of times, it has proven useful. It has a solid construction that feels sturdy in your hands as you use it. I gave it 4 stars only because I do not give many things 5 stars because something has to be near perfect or at least remarkable in some way for it to receive a 5th star from me. This hacksaw has nothing awesome about it, but it does what it needs to and looks to be able to last for a long time.

The Knife came today, it arrived razor sharp and beautiful.

The Cutting edge material is not VG10 as described, but the new propriatary VGMAX steel that Shun has been converting their knives to.  It is supposed to be a bit less brittle, but based on VG-10.

I bought a Shun 22 knife Block from Amazon and was suprised to find that the knife did not fit the wide slots. .<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Shun-22-Slot-Bamboo-Knife-Storage-Block/dp/B0009K94NU/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Shun 22-Slot Bamboo Knife Storage Block</a>&nbsp;It would fit the very wide cleaver slot, but thats already taken with my cleaver.  I do not want that edge pushing against the hard bamboo and getting dull or bent over.

There appears to be no good reason as to why there could not be a wider slot, there is plenty of room to have one, so I'll be getting out a saw and enlarging the appropriate slot.  I'm not yet sure if I should make a keyhole shape so that all of the cutting edge will fit into the block, or just let it rest on the bolster.

At any rate, its a wonderful blade, and I love the handle, it fits my large hand

Update - I took a meat saw to the slot in my Shun Bamboo block - the one under the kitchen shears and it was easy to widen the sloot to almost 2-1/2 inches. (A meat saw is basically a giant hack saw with a blade 24 inches long) However, the blade of the knife does not fully insert into the block, so I need to make the slot keyhole shaped so the top of the knife  bolster will slide into the slot until the blade is fully inserted.  Its very sharp, and not good to have 1/2-3/4 inch of blade sticking out.

Another Update:  After just one use, the edge of the blade crumbled and broke away.  It was only used to cut vegetables (tomatoes, onions, carrots and celery), and only a small amount of these.  I use a nylon cutting board, and the knife has been babied.

I suspect that the steel was overhardened, which makes it extremely brittle.  I have ordered a replacement, so hopefully, its not batch related, but is a individual thing.

I've now had the replacement knife and used it for a few weeks with no further issues.  I've had to hone it a few times, once it was so dull that it wouldn't slice tomatoes, just crush them, but a few strokes with a ceramic hone and it was back to full sharpness.  I'm pretty sure that the first one had a issue with the metal, I have another Shun vegetable knife and its had no issues either, and its also the VG Max alloy.

Found this a little difficult to manuever because of the size, so I cut it in half.  I am looking forward to using it for smaller projects.
