SOLUTION
The advantage of the staggered set on a hacksaw blade is it helps with chip clearance.
- Chip Clearance: In a staggered set, alternate teeth are bent to the left and right.
- This creates a wider kerf (the slot cut by the saw) than the blade itself.
- This wider kerf allows for better chip clearance, as the metal shavings produced during cutting have more space to escape.
