Abstract : The purpose of this project is to design and build a pedal-powered hacksaw cutting machine. This project aims to offer a more contemporary and effective way to cut wood, metal, and plastic. It is highly beneficial to the lathering, furniture-making, and PVC material (pipe) cutting sectors. Because it uses a slider crank mechanism to transform the flywheel's rotational movement into the hacksaw's reciprocating motion while the user cycles, this tool can also be used as a fitness training machine while cutting. Following testing, the device showed a perfect mechanical advantage and overall good efficiency.

Keywords : Hacksaw, Pedal Power, Reciprocating Motion.
