hi there,
was cutting some 1"x2" box section for my boat trailer with a hacksaw.
out of the 6 pieces (12 cuts) i cut today only 1 came out straight.
any pointers on what i am doing wrong?What blade should i use when i want accurate cuts ?i am currently using 8% cobalt blade, hacksaw is round handle type, not pistol grip type.
i am using two hands and putting muscle into both pull and push.blade wanders 1/4 inch away by the time i reach the bottom of cut across the
1" side. i am using oil lube while cutting and the workpiece is secure in a vice. sometimes i cut to the right of the vice sometimes to the left with no improvement. i am right handed.i am grateful i decided to wear gloves before i started as my hand hit the newly cut edges many times at the end of the cut.
thanks, Sam
