Abstract

Pedal Powered Hacksaw can be used for light duty cutting operations of plywood, soft-bamboo, and iron rod. This paper consists of a crank and slider mechanism. In the mechanism, pedal is directly connected to the hacksaw through crank and slider mechanism for the processing of cutting the plywood, bamboo, and iron rod. The aim is to develop a Pedal Powered hacksaw for the cutting of engineering materials for rural and urban areas when there is inadequate power supply. In order to ascertain the effectiveness of the machine, performance evaluation was carried out. The machine was tested for two different materials, which are soft bamboo and iron rod of 20mm diameter. The experimental result shows that cutting depth of about 10 mm can be obtained in 60 cutting strokes for around 60rpm; also a cutting depth of 31mm for bamboo is obtained with the same number of strokes. The results indicated that the Pedal Powered Hacksaw had given better, accurate and faster cuts when compared with hand hacksaw at different rpm. Pedal Powered Hacksaw helps to obtain less effort uniform cutting.
