70% to passTo cut angle iron and heavy pipe with a hand hacksaw, you should use a blade with what number of teeth per inch?
A14
B18
C24
D32
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 24 teeth per inch. For cutting angle iron and heavy pipe with a hand hacksaw, a blade with 24 teeth per inch is recommended. This higher tooth count provides more teeth to engage the material, allowing for a smoother and more controlled cut through the thicker and denser metal stock. The finer tooth pattern distributes the cutting force more evenly, preventing the blade from binding or wandering during the cut. The other options are not as suitable - 14 teeth per inch would be too coarse for this application, while 18 and 32 teeth per inch would be either too aggressive or too fine, respectively, for efficiently cutting through heavy-duty metal components.
