I transformed round Aluminum Rod into a beautiful Hacksaw / Aluminium Power hacksaw /Tig welding Al

6) Hi guys, this video is about making a hand hacksaw frame for a power hacksaw blade. Regular hacksaw available in the market cant able to fit these giants blades and since the TPI (tooth per inch) is a bit lower they often required a lot more force to cut. At the end of the video, I conducted a test and found that the thicker blade is taking a longer time compared to the thinner one but since I made it I really didn't have any problem. Many times my regular hacksaw blade broke while cutting aluminum and copper and often smash my hand in the vice which hurts badly so I build this frame with a 16 mm aluminum rod and bent it over a pipe bender. It was definitely not that easy to bend this rod compared to hollow pipe but I manage to bend it and at one position I needed to cut it also to fit it into the desired shape.

A hacksaw is a hand-powered, small-toothed saw used for cutting metal pipes, rods, brackets, etc. Hacksaws can also cut through the plastic. The hacksaw has a U-shaped frame and a handle at one end. Hacksaws have small pins at each end of the frame that receives a blade.

While selecting a blade “Three Teeth Rule” should be followed and this requires that during cutting a minimum of three teeth be continuously in contact with the work.
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
Use a fine-tooth blade or else metal wedges up between teeth, stripping them off. If the section is too thin to follow, the “Three Teeth Rule” uses a very light steady stroke.
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
Use a coarse tooth blade with heavy pressure. This gives greater pressure per tooth and consequently a deeper cut. The larger space between teeth gives ample chip clearance.
𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
Special care must be taken when cutting harder materials. It is better in terms of blade life to use finer tooth blades, with light pressure and slower speed of cutting, or else heat is built up rapidly on the cutting edge causing the metal to soften even in the case of High-Speed Steel Blades. Faster speeds are permissible if a coolant is used.

Be sure that the teeth point away from the handle frame i.e. make certain that they cut on the forward stroke.

1) When sharp angles or else the “ Three Teeth Rule” is violated for any blade used.
2) Start the cut with the blade at a slight angle and with light pressure gradually increasing the pressure as more teeth come in contact with the job.
3) If very thin sections is to be cut, clamp them between two pieces of wood and cut as a whole.
4) For low alloy hand blades, the speed of cutting should be approximately 55 strokes/ min.
5) For High-Speed Steel hand blades, use a higher speed of approximately 65 strokes/min expect
when cutting tool steel, in which case the speed should never exceed 40 strokes/min.
6) After starting the machine, lower the frame carefully and relieve the weight (or reduce the feed) for a few strokes. After cutting the first two or three sections check that the tension is correct.

That is amazing thank you, I love the care and the professional look

Thanks mate

Nice. I was surprised you could cold bend that radius.

You chose the wrong material.
