The teeth should face so that the cut is on the pull stroke, not
the
push. The blade is pulled tight during pulling, whereas it can all
go
floppy during push. And any man knows thats a bad thing, and leads
only to frustration.

I assume you are talking about pad saws etc., with full frame
hacksaws there
is not possibility of the blade going all 'floppy' on the forwards
stroke,
assuming that the operator knows how to tension the blade
correctly....

No I meant hacksaws, as per the question. Specifically I was thinking
of junior hacksaws, the bigger ones are different. With the juniors
the frame is essentially a stiff spring that is compresed to release
the blade. If you put the blade in so it push cuts, any time the blade
jams a bit, your pushing on the handle completely untensions the
blade, result total foul up.


Whilst you are finding a clue about hacksaws

pay attention

you might also like to find a
clue about using Usenet correctly by getting yourself a proper news
account
and stop using a archiving medium - http://www.individual.net/ might
be a
good place to start on your search for a clue or two.

thank you, will check that site out more later. I do want something
better than google, gluggle's gotten to be a complete mess lately.

Only if you buy a cheap one, a proper junior hacksaw has the same tensioning
device as a normal full sized one.

I was, the question was about hacksaws, you seemed to be talking about
either pad or power saws...

I was going to say something along those lines further up the thread,
it's confusing the hell out of me as the posts are now randomly
appearing all over the place!
