Carbocut is Effetto Mariposa's hacksaw for carbon. Its tungsten carbide grit blade grinds through composite instead of ripping it, leaving smooth, burr-free edges on steerers, seatposts and bars with no need to sand afterwards.

Highlights

  • Tungsten carbide grit blade for composite tubes and components
  • Cuts on push and pull strokes for control and less vibration
  • 19mm tall blade helps guide a straight cut
  • Compact 10 inch frame fits a toolbox and tight spaces
  • Ergonomic blade-tensioning knob
  • Made in Italy

Why grit, not teeth

A toothed blade has one cutting edge per tooth and tends to tear fibres; a carbide grit edge has thousands of tiny edges that grind, which reduces the risk of lifting fibres away from the resin.

Certified materials

The handle is certified EN AB46100 aluminium alloy with no scrap aluminium added, and the frame is certified Fe42 steel.

Compatibility & fit

Takes 10 inch blades; Carbocut Replacement Blades are available. The blade is 1.6mm thick (a standard blade is 0.9mm), so spacers or washers may be needed with some cutting guides. Best for composites, hard metals, ceramic and masonry; wood, plastic and aluminium cut more easily with a toothed blade. Steerer cutting and fork installation are a separate Tune Cycles workshop service.

Effetto Mariposa guarantees its products for 24 months against defects in material or manufacture. The guarantee does not cover wear and tear, improper use or improper storage. For warranty support, return the product to Tune Cycles and we'll manage the claim with the brand's Australian distributor.
