How to use a hacksaw:
- Clamp the workpiece in a vise
- Select the correct TPI blade for the material thickness
- Align the blade in the hacksaw with the teeth facing forward
- The cutting action is normally in the push direction at 60 strokes per minute, using the entire length of the blade
- Close to the end of the cut, decrease the rate of cut
Generally speaking... The blade doesn't cut faster by leaning heavily on the hacksaw or cutting at a faster rate.
