Summary

The parameter of blade wear on the noise levels of power hacksaw blades has been investigated. The results of the effect of blade thrust force on the wear and its influence on the noise level has been outlined.

The main stages of wear in relation to noise levels and time of cut are given. This leads to recommendations on optimum blade life based on these factors.
