Power Hacksaw

This power hacksaw was originally build many years ago from a set of castings by a former colleague's grandfather but it was in a rather a sad shape when I acquired it.  Apart from the usual rebuilding and cleaning up, I added a carrying handle and I relocated the handle above the saw frame.  Now, the reciprocating saw assembly no longer hits your fingers so that you let go of it and drop the saw onto the job!

Procedure of the Cutting Circular Material

The power hacksaw is easy to use. Firstly, the material is fixed in the vise of the hacksaw at the desired length. A switch of the hacksaw turns on, and lowers the blade slowly on to the material. When the material is finished cutting, the hacksaw stops automatically.

Fig.2, Fix of Material A material is fixed to suitable length.

Fig.3, Cutting A switch is turned on, and when theblade is lowered, and the material will be cut with the saw stopping automatically.

Fig.4, Cut Material The material cut by the hacksaw has a rough surface. It is usually finished with a lathe.

Fig.5, Cut Large-sized Material The hacksaw can cut off large sizes material, though it may take some time to do so. .

Cut Circular Material

When cirtcular material is cut, a hacksaw, shown in Figure 1, is used. The hacksaw has a blade, which has reciprocating motions. The fixed material on the hacksaw is cut off as a result of the blades action.
