Q

Proper hacksaw cutting is accomplished when pressure is applied only on the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Cutting stroke vs return stroke when using a hand saw • How hacksaw teeth are angled and what direction they cut • Why applying pressure in only one direction prevents blade damage and gives a smoother cut

💭 Think About

• Think about which direction the teeth of a hacksaw blade are designed to remove metal • In which part of the motion does the blade actually do the cutting work? • What happens to a thin metal blade if you press hard during the non‑cutting stroke?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which stroke is the cutting stroke for a standard hacksaw blade • Make sure you are not applying pressure on both strokes, only on the one that cuts • Remember that excess pressure in the wrong direction can bend or break the blade
