The hacksaw blade is a fine tooth saw used for cutting metals, most often mild steel,
aluminum and copper, because of its high wear resistance due to red hot temperature that
develops due to friction while cutting, this saw can be used in high speed cutting application.
Handheld hacksaws consist a frame and screws to put the blade in tension, the same as the
power hacksaw which has also a frame and screw to put the blade in tension. Hacksaw blades
are determined by its TPI or “tooth per inch” in which it is used to specific application. The
blade teeth are hardened while the other parts is leave to be flexible while some make the
entire blade hard. Hacksaw material is called High Speed Steel (HSS or HS) which is
SPEED REDUCTION
Engines and electric motors produce high angular speed which can be more than of what is
needed. To decrease the speed while making the horsepower constant, belt drive is used, or
for some application is a gear drive. Speed reducer is a type of gear drive that is used to
reduce angular speed. Speed reducing is a way to obtain a desirable output speed from a high
