Default hacksaw cutting slowly

Hi. I saw a message posted to this group by someone saying that he
can cut 1 square inch of soft steel cross section in 60 seconds. That
sounded pretty fast to me, and I decided to give it a try. I was able
to cut about half a square inch of steel bar in about 30 minutes.


Strike a bloody light!
I'd almost forgotten how painful a power hacksaw is.

6 to 10 *seconds* would be about right to get through a one inch square steel bar
using my Brobo cold cut-off saw - plus, the finish on the cut ends is "milled"
super-smooth.

Power hacksaws?
Weld a steel loop on them, and donate them to a local boat owner.
