[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacksaw#Variants '''Reciprocating Machine Hacksaws'''] or '''Power Hacksaws''' were once common in schools and used for cutting metal stock to length - especially larger sections.


=====Features and Applications=====

Blades commonly used are 300mm long and 10 or 12 tpi but other lengths and pitches are available for different materials and larger machines. 


The nature of much D&T work now in schools relies generally on lighter sections and so cutting metal stock to length can now more quickly be done using a '''[[Chop Saw]]''' and '''[[Bandsaw|Metal Cutting Bandsaws]]''' are available to cut larger sections.
