metalsa2_photo2_caseID105Product realised for a top quality, guaranteed for life hacksaw. Zinc alloys satisfy the surface coating for the aspect and the mechanical resistance required for the handle and saw blade guide, with the process economy for a high quality product on a competitive market, due to the long life of the dies and tooling for a very high volume production. The rigidity of the assembly ensured by the zinc alloy allows the blade to be stressed safely up to 140 kg traction force.
