2.1 Crank and Slotted Lever Mechanism
This mechanism is mostly used in shaping machines, slotting

machines and in rotary internal combustion engines. In this
mechanism, the link AC (i.e. link 3) forming the turning pair is
fixed, as shown in Fig. The link 3 corresponds to the connecting

rod of a reciprocating steam engine. The driving crank CB
revolves with uniform angular speed about the fixed centre C. Therefore,
A sliding block is attached to the crank pin at B slides along
the slotted bar AP and thus causes AP to oscillate about the
=
pivoted point A. A short link PR transmits the motion from AP
to the ram which carries the tool and reciprocates along the
line of stroke R1R2. The line of stroke of the ram (i.e. R1R2) is = or
perpendicular to AC produced. In the extreme positions, AP1
and AP2 are tangential to the circle and the cutting tool is at Since the tool travels a distance of R1R2 during
the end of the stroke. The forward or cutting stroke occurs cutting and return stroke, therefore travel of the

O. Cakir, et. Al. (2007) explained in his research paper in a

macining operation igh temperature in a cutting tool results
due to friction between workpiece and cutting tool and cutting
tool chip interface. There are some effects of this generated
heat which are higher surface roughness, shorter tool life and
lower the dimensional sensitiveness of the work material. Tis
result in more important when there is need to machining
harder material which are difficult to cut due to high heat
production.
Nitinchandra R. Patel, et al. (2013) explained in his researh

paper “Material selection and testing of hacksaw blade based
on mechanical properties” stated that to obtain better
operation, appropriate blade must be selected. To obtain fine
cutting selection of teeth per inches of blade is important.
There are four types of blades in the market which are based
on the material namely alloy steel blade, high speed steel
blade, high carbon steel blade and alloy steel blade.
3. CONCLUSIONS
Sreejith K., et. Al.(2014) explained the objective of this paper
It is known that conventional hacksaw was to fabricate, design and experimentally investigate the
machine can be replaced with automatic power working of Pedal Driven Hacksaw (PDH). A slider crank
hacksaw machine. Automatic power hacksaw mechanism is uded PDH for its working. The experiment on
machine gives high productivity in short time plywood material and PDH was performed. The main parts of
period in comparison with the conventional PDH were sprocket chain drive, slywheel, reciprocating rod
hacksaw machines. The major advantage of this welded to pedal of bicycle and hacksaw. The hacksaw and
machine is that intervention of labour is reduced reciprocating rods were connected together. The reciprocating
