How to Hacksaw Aluminum
- 1). Inspect the hacksaw. If your blade is not new, make sure that they teeth of the blade are sharp and not ground down; if they are ground down, replace the blade.
- 2). Spray the lubricant along the teeth of the hacksaw blade, this will make your job of manually cutting easier.
- 3). Lay out the aluminum and mark where you will cut it with a grease pencil. This will give you a trajectory when cutting.
- 4). Place the hacksaw blade against the aluminum where you marked it for cutting. Move the blade back and forth while exerting pressure on the hacksaw to make it through the aluminum. Continue this motion until you have cut all the way through the aluminum.
