Handsaw Bosch Professional 1600A039R6, 450 mm, 11 TPI

Bosch Professional 1600A039R6 Handsaw, 450 mm, 11 TPI

The Bosch 1600A039R6 is a handsaw for wood with a 450 mm blade and 11 teeth per inch from Bosch's professional hand-tool range. The manufacturer designed it for carpenters and professionals in other trades who want to cut wood with a reliable saw that lasts.

Teeth in induction-hardened SK5 steel

The teeth are made from induction-hardened SK5 steel for durability, with a hardness of 61-68 HRC. Induction hardening makes the cutting edge itself hard without making the whole blade brittle - which is why such teeth hold their edge considerably longer, but are not resharpened.

11 teeth per inch

The 11 TPI tooth pitch is the all-round choice for carpentry: coarse enough to cut quickly across and along the grain, and fine enough to leave an acceptable edge. The same Bosch range also offers coarser 7 TPI versions for faster, rougher cutting.

Angle guides

The saw has angle guides for adjusting the blade's cutting angle. The back of the handle is shaped so it can be used to mark angles - typically 45 and 90 degrees - without a separate square.

Handle with soft-grip areas

The handle has soft-grip areas which, according to the manufacturer, help you work with less strain and with better control over the tool.

Applications

The handsaw is for cross-cutting and ripping solid timber, battens, boards, panels and wooden profiles - in carpentry, drywalling, installation and repair. The 450 mm length gives a long stroke and suits work on scaffolding and anywhere a power saw is impractical.
