4.1. INTRODUCTION TO HACK SAWING Hack sawing is a process of cutting metal to size using a
cutting tool called hacksaw.
![Page 4: MODULE 4: HACKSAWS MECHANICAL WORKSHOP. MODULE OBJECTIVES After the completion of this module, student should be able to: Describe the basic hack sawing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551a2343550346cb358b4bad/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The typical hacksaw consists of a saw blade supported by a frame fitted with a handle to give a firm grip
4.2 MAIN PARTS OF A HACKSAW

4.3 TYPES OF HACKSAW FRAMESThere are two types of hacksaw frames:
Type 1: Solid hacksaw frame
In this type, only one particular standard length of blade can be used with this frame.
![Page 6: MODULE 4: HACKSAWS MECHANICAL WORKSHOP. MODULE OBJECTIVES After the completion of this module, student should be able to: Describe the basic hack sawing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551a2343550346cb358b4bad/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Type 2: Adjustable hacksaw frame
In this type different standard lengths of blades can be fitted to this frame.

4.4 HACKSAW BLADESThe hacksaw blade consists of different parts:
- 2 pin holes- Center line- Side - Back edge
![Page 8: MODULE 4: HACKSAWS MECHANICAL WORKSHOP. MODULE OBJECTIVES After the completion of this module, student should be able to: Describe the basic hack sawing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551a2343550346cb358b4bad/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
CHARACTERISTICS OF A HACKSAW BLADEThe hacksaw blade has 2 main characteristics
1- Teeth pitch which is the number of teeth per 25 mm.
2- Blade length which is the length between the centers of its pin holes. (See previous Slide)
![Page 9: MODULE 4: HACKSAWS MECHANICAL WORKSHOP. MODULE OBJECTIVES After the completion of this module, student should be able to: Describe the basic hack sawing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551a2343550346cb358b4bad/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
4.4.2 HACKSAW BLADE PITCH
The pitch of the hacksaw blades are divided into 3 classes:
1- Coarse pitch teeth
2- Medium pitch teeth
3- Fine pitch teeth
The classification depends on the number of teeth per 25 mm also know as pitch
![Page 10: MODULE 4: HACKSAWS MECHANICAL WORKSHOP. MODULE OBJECTIVES After the completion of this module, student should be able to: Describe the basic hack sawing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551a2343550346cb358b4bad/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
COARSE PITCH TEETH
The coarse pitch blade has 14-18 teeth/25 mm. It is used to cut thick and soft work pieces.
![Page 11: MODULE 4: HACKSAWS MECHANICAL WORKSHOP. MODULE OBJECTIVES After the completion of this module, student should be able to: Describe the basic hack sawing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551a2343550346cb358b4bad/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
MEDIUM PITCH TEETH
The medium pitch blade has 18-24 teeth/25 mm. It is used to cut medium hard steel and copper alloys.
![Page 12: MODULE 4: HACKSAWS MECHANICAL WORKSHOP. MODULE OBJECTIVES After the completion of this module, student should be able to: Describe the basic hack sawing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551a2343550346cb358b4bad/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
FINE PITCH TEETH
The medium pitch blade has 24-32 teeth/25 mm. It is used to cut thin and hard work pieces.
Note: A fine pitch blade has more teeth per 25 mm than a coarse pitch blade.
![Page 13: MODULE 4: HACKSAWS MECHANICAL WORKSHOP. MODULE OBJECTIVES After the completion of this module, student should be able to: Describe the basic hack sawing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551a2343550346cb358b4bad/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Number Of teeth per 25 mm (Pitch)
Name of Pitch Class
Thickness Class used for
Material Class used for
14 to 18 Coarse Pitch Teeth
Thick Soft
18 to 24 Medium Pitch Teeth
Medium Hard Steel and Copper Alloys
24 to 32 Fine Pitch Teeth Thin Hard
![Page 14: MODULE 4: HACKSAWS MECHANICAL WORKSHOP. MODULE OBJECTIVES After the completion of this module, student should be able to: Describe the basic hack sawing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551a2343550346cb358b4bad/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
TOOTH SELECTION
Selecting a blade with the correct number of teeth depends on the thickness and type of the material to be cut.
During the cutting process there should be at least 3 teeth in contact.
For thin sections the highest number of teeth should be selected.

![Page 17: MODULE 4: HACKSAWS MECHANICAL WORKSHOP. MODULE OBJECTIVES After the completion of this module, student should be able to: Describe the basic hack sawing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551a2343550346cb358b4bad/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
4.4.3 BLADE SETTING
The teeth are set so that the blade makes a cut wider than itself.
This helps to prevent the blade from jamming (becoming blocked) and provides for good chip clearance when cutting the metal
![Page 18: MODULE 4: HACKSAWS MECHANICAL WORKSHOP. MODULE OBJECTIVES After the completion of this module, student should be able to: Describe the basic hack sawing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551a2343550346cb358b4bad/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
THE MOST COMMON TYPES OF SETS USED
Alternate set: The teeth are arranged alternately
![Page 19: MODULE 4: HACKSAWS MECHANICAL WORKSHOP. MODULE OBJECTIVES After the completion of this module, student should be able to: Describe the basic hack sawing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551a2343550346cb358b4bad/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Wave set: the teeth are arranged like a wave form
![Page 20: MODULE 4: HACKSAWS MECHANICAL WORKSHOP. MODULE OBJECTIVES After the completion of this module, student should be able to: Describe the basic hack sawing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551a2343550346cb358b4bad/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
4.4.4 INSTALLING THE BLADE IN THE HACKSAW FRAME.
1- Install the teeth point away from the handle of the hacksaw.
2- Tighten the wing nut until the blade is definitely under tension. This helps make straight cuts.
![Page 21: MODULE 4: HACKSAWS MECHANICAL WORKSHOP. MODULE OBJECTIVES After the completion of this module, student should be able to: Describe the basic hack sawing.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551a2343550346cb358b4bad/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
4.4.5 SAW BLADE DEFECTS AND THEIR CAUSES:
1. Fast Blunting If wrong teeth number is chosen. If saw blade is not tightened properly.
2. Teeth breaking Tooth pitch is too small while cutting thin
elements If material is not tightened well.
The hacksaw blade consists of different parts:
- 2 pin holes- Center line- Side - Back edge

4.4.6 HACKSAW BLADE CHECKLIST
The following points should be taken in consideration before using the hacksaw
1.Select the correct pitch for the material you want to cut.
2.Ensure that the blade has the correct tension.
3.Ensure that the blade is not twisted or discolored.
4.Ensure that the teeth are pointed away from the handle.
5.Ensure that there are no broken or blunt teeth.

4.5 HACKSAW SAFETY TIPS
1. Always wear safety goggles while using a hacksaw.
2. Be sure that the hacksaw blade is properly tensioned.
3. Do not brush away chips with your hand; use a brush.
4. Never test the sharpness of a blade by running your fingers across its teeth.
5. Keep the saw blades clean, and use light machine oil on the blade to keep it from overheating and breaking.

4.6 CUTTING WITH THE HACKSAW
1.Hold the hacksaw properly at an angle of 30°
2.When cutting, move your body rather than just your arms.
3.Apply pressure only during the forward stroke (cutting stroke).
4.Use the entire length of the blade in each cutting stroke.
5.The usual cutting speed is from 40 to 50 strokes per minute
