Mini Hacksaw Powered By Beam Engine

Dimensions: 15 x 35 x 21 Centimeters

A beam engine mechanism is one where we use an overhead beam to create motion. Here we use a beam engine motion based assembly in order to achieve hack saw cutting motion using a circular cutting disc. Our system uses a motorized disc to drive a connector which is inturn connected to an overhead beam. The overhead bean has a connecting rod in turn connected to a mini hacksaw blade. When the motorized disc below is turned on the connecting arm starts reciprocating the overhead beam. This beam now heals achieve a back and forth cutting motion as required by the hacksaw blade.
We construct a small bed in order to rest the work piece to achieve desired cutting. Thus we study the design and fabrication of mini hacksaw using beam engine mechanism.
