This is undoubtedly the most Common Asked Question by our customers to us.
We will try to explain in the easiest way possible, So, to understand the basic difference between Bandsaw and Hacksaw, first we will understand about both the machines in details.
Metal Cutting Hacksaw:-
Hacksaw machines are primitive in technology, Power hacksaws are used to cut large sizes (sections) of metals such as steel. Cutting diameters of more than 10/15mm is very hard work with a normal hand held hacksaw. Therefore power hacksaws have been developed to carry out the difficult and time consuming work.
The heavy ‘arm’ moves backwards and forwards, cutting on the backwards stroke.
Below given schematic Representation of Hacksaw Cutting Machines.
Hacksaw machines are Basically of Three types ,
- Manual Hacksaw
- Semi Hydraulic hacksaw
- Fully hydraulic hacksaw
Metal Cutting Bandsaw:-
The name suggest Bandsaw is cutting machine where blade is fed continually to Cutting Workpiece, blade revolves around two-wheel arms and it cuts on perpendicular plane. The bandsaw blade is supported and driven by a drive wheel and an idler wheel. Because each tooth is a precision cutting tool, accuracy can be held to close tolerances. This eliminates or minimizes many secondary machining operations. In addition, chip removal is very fast. When the bandsaw is turned on, the operator raises the saw and makes the blade descend on the clamped material, cutting it as the band blade moves. After the cutting is completed, the bandsaw switches off automatically.
Types of Bandsaw,
- Horizontal Bandsaw
- Vertical Bandsaw
Similarities & Differences between Bandsaw And Hacksaw:-
