I use mine often for quick simple cuts rather than dig out the power tools, it is kind of fun.
I also use a coping saw for wood trim work sometimes. A perfectly hand coped joint or cap is oddly satisfying to me. |

In this thread we find those that don't understand when and why a hack saw with a good blade is the right tool for the some jobs.
Some who proclaim the torch as the end all be all should learn about heat affected zones. |

Do we get to define faster only in terms of the single cut and ignore all the hassle of getting set up for it in the definition of time, then? Seems to be a lot of that on the opposition side here. Look at my shop bandsaw! Yeah, I'm in a dude's wellhouse out in Bumfuckia, rural. I need to cut one piece of pipe one time. Or maybe even three pieces. Breaking, the shop saw is in the shop, 87 miles round trip away. Assuming I can do all three cuts in one trip. What If I think I need just one cut, do the trip, then find out I need one more?
Trust GD to miss points. |

I bought one of those high-tension hacksaws and OMG I'm never going back to the cheap "bow" tension ones.

No one and especially not the OP, is even hinting that the best most efficient way to cut metal all day at peak output is a hand powered hacksaw, all you terminally retarded idjits. Jesus jumped up on a rusty, 2 wheeled tricycle, and wept, for there were no more retards to troll.

It's edgy. Like, oh we have GPS, no need to have any map and compass and astrogation skills. Oh we have printers, no need to know how to fucking write with a pen. Oh we have industrial power tools, no need to have any hand tool skills. Well, see, the designers of all those things had a thorough knowledge of the principle antecedents before they designed the techno shortcuts.

The problem with power tools and technology is it tempts you to think you are more skilled than you actually are by hitching a parasitic ride on someone else's greater skill.

After a long day at the mill in town I like to ride home, tend the horses, carry in water and firewood for the night, make sure the flintlock is primed. Then I relax by sawing thru metal with a hand powered tool under the glint of ye old coal oil lamp.
I m  ake my own nails that way

I'm down with that as fun. If you mean that you think we think and are advocating that as a superior method for industrial production, then you are a lame ass fag that has precisely missed the point. You can't design an industrial process unless you have a grasp of the fundamental tech, and your assumption that you can start from the standpoint of an advanced industrial society is precisely why you will someday bow down to the masters.

It's so much more efficient to set up an industrial method of production each and every time you need to make a singular metal cut rather than use a hand powered hacksaw. Fuck yeah, let's all go full retard.

Fucking humans. I hope and cannot wait for the extinction because the species is not deserving of existence. I don't even care if I survive. I hope I get to see that look on their faces, but really I don't give much of a shit. I wish I had access to the button.

No I do not, but sometimes it is more convenient.
I'd also rather not use an ax to fell a tree since I have a chainsaw! I built my last two airplanes (both made from aluminum) and if I had to use hand tools for cutting and forming the metal I would still be building them instead of flying them.... As far as the hacksaw - I have three of 'em, I prefer using my bandsaw but sometimes a simple handsaw works quicker for certain purposes. |
