Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can it be used for drywall?
Yes. The listing specifically names wallboard, so this 14 in (350 mm), 11 TPI fine-cut blade can cut drywall.
For the cleanest edge, support the panel or back it with a scrap board to reduce underside splintering, because the blade can cut a fairly aggressive kerf on thin sheets.
Is this saw good for pruning?
Yes for small to medium branches. The blade is sharp and the saw is light and easy to handle, so it works well for pruning limbs and small tree work.
For very thick trunks or heavy, continuous pruning, a larger pruning saw or chainsaw will be easier and faster.
Is the blade replaceable?
No the blade is not replaceable on the Hanpex 14-inch saw.
What materials can this saw cut?
Designed to cut wood, plywood, wallboard (drywall), and plastic pipe. Practical use also includes MDF, laminate trimming, small stumps, and some hardwoods, though very hard or very large stock may need more effort or a different tool.
