The pedal power hacksaw is a manually operated device designed for cutting metals and plastics, converting pedal motion into linear cutting action. It features several components including a hacksaw blade, pedal arrangement, and a crank and slider mechanism, and can utilize a dynamo to provide lighting in workshops without electricity. Although it is time-saving and energy-efficient compared to hand hacksaws, it is not suitable for heavy production and is entirely dependent on human effort.
Pedal power hacksaw
- 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.
