Question 186General Subjects - QMED

The correct answer is B) pitch. The pitch of a hacksaw blade refers to the number of teeth per inch on the blade. This is a commonly used term in the industry to describe the characteristics of a hacksaw blade. The pitch determines the coarseness or fineness of the cut, with a higher pitch (more teeth per inch) resulting in a finer, smoother cut. The other options are incorrect because they refer to different characteristics of tools or blades. Set refers to the offset of the teeth, rake refers to the angle of the teeth, and thread gauge refers to a tool used to measure the threads per inch on a fastener, not the teeth on a hacksaw blade.
