CUTTING

A hacksaw is a fine-tooth saw with a blade held under tension in a frame, used for cutting
material such as metal or plastics. Hand held hacksaws consist of a metal arch with a handle,
using a pistol grip, with pins for attaching a narrow disposable. A screw or other mechanism

Cutting machine (hacksaw)

is used to put thin blade under tension. The blade can be mounted with the teeth facing either
towards or away from the handle, resulting in cutting action either on the push or pull stroke. On
the push stroke, the arch will flex slightly, decreasing the tension on the blade.

Blades are available in standardized lengths, usually 10 to 12 inches for a standard hand
hacksaw. “Junior ” hacksaws are half this size. Powered hacksaws may used larger blades in
range of sizes, or small machines may use the same hand blades.

CHAPTER: FUTURE IMPLEMENTATION

 We can perform various operations like cutting drilling and shaping individually by
introducing coupling (engagement and disengagement) between them.
 We can perform grinding operation by introducing a grinding tool at the ain shaft.
 We can perform boring operation by introducing a boring tool by replacing drilling tool.
 We can change the motor speed by regulator.
CHAPTER: CONCLUSION
After completing the major project on “MULTIPURPOSE MECHANICAL MACHINE” we are
much happy and would like to thank our professor , guide and the lecturers of the concerned
department who have guided us.

While making this project we have been able to learn a lot and understand the various aspect of
“multipurpose mechanical machine” we can use our knowledge , which we get during our
study .
