Design and Fabrication of Four-Way Hacksaw Machine

It is required to machine the round or square rod on different machines to make different components like shafts, bolts, screws etc. For a mass production, there is a need to cut the raw material into number of pieces and this can be performed conventionally on a power hacksaw or simple hacksaw machine. In this project, work and effort has been put to design a modernized four-way hacksaw machine which performs less stressful operations for cutting wood, metal and plastic materials. To achieve this process with lesser time than conventional machine, this Four Way Hacksaw machine has been developed. This model implies a conversion of rotary motion of crank to reciprocating motion of hacksaw blades, done by Scotch Yoke Mechanism. In this model, we can operate four hacksaws at the same time. This model will overcome the disadvantages of traditional hacksaw machine, which can cut a single piece only at a particular time interval. This machine works significantly with minimum vibrations and jerks. Hence, we are pretty sure that this new purposed model of hacksaw machine will be welcomed by many industries due to its compactness and higher production rate. To achieve this goal, four-way hacksaw machine is developed.
