Hand Hacksaw
1. Cut Thin Material
As mentioned earlier, a power hacksaw is not suitable for cutting thin material as the material will bend.
When it is necessary to cut thin material, less than 10mm, it is best to do this by hand using a hacksaw.
How to use a hacksaw
Generally, the blade of a hacksaw is designed for cutting when it is pushed. Therefore, more force is used
when pushing the hacksaw that when pulling backwards during the return stroke.
Cutting is easier and safer when the material is fixed in a vise.
