🔍 Key Concepts

• Different types of hacksaw blades and their uses • How tungsten-carbide particles are usually mounted or formed into cutting tools • The physical shape suggested by the term used in one of the options

💭 Think About

• Think about which option name best matches a blade made from bonded particles rather than a solid strip of steel with individual teeth. • Consider which blade type would most likely be round or wire-like instead of flat with teeth along an edge. • Ask yourself: which of these blade names is commonly associated with cutting hard, brittle materials like tile, ceramics, or glass?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match the description "bonded tungsten-carbide particles" with a blade that is more like a coated rod or wire than a traditional toothed strip. • Eliminate blades that are described by how the teeth are set or hardened, rather than by their overall form and construction. • Recall that some specialty blades are designed to cut in any direction because of their round or rod-like shape.
