The Curtis Holt 300mm hacksaw frame is a hand-held cutting frame designed to hold 300mm (12in) pinned hacksaw blades for cutting metal, plastic and other engineering materials. Its primary use is general workshop cutting and maintenance where a rigid, adjustable frame is required to maintain blade tension for accurate, straight cuts in pipes, angle iron, rods and profiles.

Manufactured from high‑tensile carbon steel (EN8 grade), the frame features a corrosion‑resistant powder coated finish to reduce surface rust in workshop environments. The frame accepts standard 300mm pinned hacksaw blades manufactured to common DIN/BS/ISO blade specifications and uses a captive tensioning spindle with an M6 threaded adjuster for precise blade tensioning. The blade fixing is a pinned end type, and the frame provides both forward and reverse blade positioning for left‑ or right‑hand cuts. No additional drive or head type is required beyond the manual tensioning mechanism.

Typical applications include metal fabrication, plumbing, automotive repair, maintenance engineering and general industrial workshops. It is suitable for contractors, site engineers and hobbyists cutting tube, conduit, mild steel and non‑ferrous sections where a robust, portable saw is easier than a powered alternative. The open C‑frame design gives good access to odd shapes and the ability to use the full length of a 300mm blade for longer cuts.

Key benefits of the Curtis Holt frame are its high tensile strength for consistent blade alignment, the corrosion resistance provided by the finish, and broad compatibility with standard 300mm pinned blades from most suppliers. The captive M6 tensioner makes blade changes quick and keeps tension consistent, improving cut quality and reducing blade breakage. The frame’s steel construction delivers durability and a stable cutting platform compared with lightweight alloy frames.
