Stanley 20-045 FATMAX 15 in. 9 TPI Carbon Steel Handsaw

The Stanley 20-045 FATMAX 15 in. 9 TPI Carbon Steel Handsaw is a compact saw for fast cuts in lumber and sheet goods. SharpTooth 3-face tooth geometry cuts on both the push and pull strokes, and induction-hardened teeth hold their edge longer. The thick handle gives a firm grip, and the back of the handle doubles as a 45 and 90 degree marking guide so you can lay out cuts without reaching for a square. The saw is backed by a Stanley limited lifetime warranty. The compact 15 in. length makes it easy to carry in a tool bag and use in tight spaces where a full-length saw would be awkward. The marking back on the handle lets you lay out a quick 45 or 90 degree line before you cut, which saves a trip to the square for simple crosscuts.

Stanley 20-045 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a 9 TPI handsaw like the Stanley 20-045 FATMAX cut framing lumber cleanly, or is it too coarse for trim work?
At 9 teeth per inch, the Stanley 20-045 sits in the general carpentry range: fast enough for framing lumber and quick crosscuts, but still controlled enough for trimming boards and sheet goods. The SharpTooth 3-face tooth geometry cuts on both the push and the pull stroke, so it clears material quickly. If you need glass-smooth finish cuts on fine molding, a higher tooth count saw is the better choice.
2) Is the 15 inch Stanley FATMAX handsaw long enough for general jobsite cutting, or should I get a full-length saw?
The 20-045 has a 15 inch blade, which is a compact length meant for tool-bag carry and cuts in tight spaces where a full-length saw would be awkward. For repetitive full-depth rips in wide stock, a longer saw gives you more stroke per pass. For quick crosscuts on the job when a power saw is not set up, the 15 inch length is the point of the tool.
3) Can the teeth on the Stanley 20-045 be resharpened when they dull?
The 20-045 uses induction-hardened teeth, which hold an edge far longer than untreated carbon steel but are too hard to file back with a standard saw file. Treat it as a replace-when-dull saw rather than one you maintain on a sharpening vise. The blade body itself is carbon steel.
4) Does the Stanley FATMAX 20-045 handle really work as a square for marking cuts?
The back of the handle is shaped as a 45 and 90 degree marking guide, so you can lay a quick crosscut or miter line on a board without pulling out a speed square. It is a layout aid for simple cuts, not a replacement for a framing square on long or critical layout work.
5) What size and part number do I order for the Stanley FATMAX SharpTooth handsaw?
It is sold as Stanley model 20-045 in a single size, a 15 inch blade at 9 TPI. There are no handing, finish, or length options to specify.
6) Will the Stanley 20-045 cut plywood and OSB sheet goods without tearing them up?
Yes, sheet goods are one of its stated uses. The 3-face SharpTooth geometry cuts on both strokes, which keeps the saw moving through plywood and OSB. Back the sheet up and score your line if the face veneer matters, since 9 TPI is a fairly aggressive tooth pitch for thin plies.
