Greenlee 333A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Greenlee 333A hack saw take reciprocating saw blades, or only standard hacksaw blades?
Both. The 333A frame is built to accept most reciprocating saw blades in addition to standard 12 inch hacksaw blades, so you can run a recip blade for demolition-type cuts without carrying a second tool. It ships with a 12 inch, 24 TPI bi-metal blade.
2) Can you flush cut conduit against a wall with the Greenlee 333A?
Yes. The blade can be mounted in an alternative 45 degree position, which lets you cut flush in tight or confined spaces, such as trimming conduit or threaded rod close to a surface.
3) Is 24 TPI the right tooth count for cutting EMT and rigid conduit?
Yes. The 333A comes with a 24 TPI bi-metal blade, which is the tooth count used for thin-wall tubing and conduit, where you want at least three teeth engaged in the wall to avoid snagging and stripping teeth. It handles conduit, pipe, and rigid metal stock. For thicker solid bar you would step down to a coarser blade.
4) Why does blade tension matter on a hack saw, and how much does the Greenlee 333A apply?
Tension keeps the blade from wandering or twisting mid-cut, which is what breaks blades and gives you a crooked cut. The 333A has a fully adjustable tension system rated to a 30,000 PSI maximum, so you can pull the blade tight enough for straight, fast cuts in metal and get longer life out of each blade.
5) What blade length does the Greenlee 333A hack saw use for replacements?
Standard 12 inch (305 mm) blades. That is the common commercial hacksaw blade length, so replacements are easy to source, and the tubular frame has built-in storage to keep spares with the tool.
6) Is there a way to get more pressure on the cut with this hack saw?
There is a front grip on the 333A frame for two-handed sawing. One hand on the handle, one on the front grip, gives you more control and lets you lean into the cut, which is what you want on rigid conduit or heavier stock. The frame is over-molded for grip comfort during repeated use.
7) Will a bi-metal blade hold up better than a carbon steel hacksaw blade?
Bi-metal blades pair a hardened high-speed-steel tooth edge with a flexible backing, so the teeth stay sharp in metal while the body flexes instead of snapping. The 333A ships with a bi-metal blade, which is why it is specced for daily heavy-duty jobsite cutting rather than occasional use.
8) What is the Greenlee part number to order the 12 inch heavy-duty hack saw?
Order Greenlee 333A. It is the 12 inch heavy-duty bi-metal hack saw, sold in a single 12 inch size, and it comes complete with a blade.
