Just bought this because i didn't realise it had a hacksaw blade, my question is could i change it for a blade that will be better suited to cut wood ie bigger teeth??

I'd imagine you'd easily get different blades to do what you need; seems like a 45cm standard

If you find that the frame is too big - you just need to shorten the central piece of wood. That looks like a fair price. Whats it like apart from the blade?

I often cut down bow saw blades to fit items like this one.

This is what I did to mine. If u decide to do the same I would suggest putting some bindings around near the hole.

I over tightened mine and broke it. I'll buy another tho it was great before I broke it

Recieved it today, And tried it out, teeth on the saw are bigger that i was expecting and worked quiet well i think ill leave it on until the blade needs replacing. Only thing i have done is repace the cord as it was horrible and plasticy?, just personal niggle would work without changing it
