Pedal power hacksaw

its actually a mechanics themed project which helps humans use a mechanized hacksaw instead traditional handheld saw.

2. Pedal Power Hacksaw
This is mainly used for
cutting metals and
plastics.
It is manually pedal
operated system.

3. COMPONENTS REQUIRED
I. Hack saw blade
II. Pedal arrangement
III. Stand setup parts
IV. Crank and slider mechanism
V. Hack saw assembly
VI. Metal slab

4. The principle of pedal power hacksaw, is to
change circulatory motion or cycling motion
into translatory motion with the help of metal
connecting rod .
If we use dynamo then we can produce
electricity which will be help to lighting the
workpiece area when electricity is not available
in mechanical workshop.

5. •A hacksaw is a fine-tooth saw with a blade under
tension in a frame, used for cutting materials such as
metal or plastics.
•Hand-held hacksaws consist of a metal arch with a
handle, usually a pistol grip, with pins for attaching a
narrow disposable blade.
•A screw or other mechanism is used to put the
thin blade under tension.

6. Safety glasses must be worn at all times in
work areas.
Long and loose hair must be contained.
Sturdy footwear must be worn at all times
in work areas.

Rings and jewellery must not be worn.

Close fitting/protective clothing must be
worn.
Hearing protection must be worn when
using this machine.

7. Time saving as compared to simple
hacksaw
Power saving as it is manully operated
Easy machinary used
As it is pedal operated so good for health
Comfortable then ordinary hacksaw

8. Its totally manually operated .
Time consuming as compared to electrical
power hacksaw
Without human effort its not operated.
Not fit for heavy production.

9. Coping Saw :
Coping saws are used to
remove complicated
shapes and cut curves in
wood and plastic.

13. Thus a low cost and simple design pedal operated
hacksaw machine is fabricated. This machine reduces
the human effort and hence we don’t need two
persons to cut the wooden logs. This simple design of
conventional design which can enhance day today
household needs and daily day to day purposes and it
can be also used in for industrial applications during
power shut down scenarios. By using this method we
can do any operation as per our requirement without
the use of electricity. so we can save the electrical
power.
