     Because flywheels retain energy, they are frequently
    useful. Flywheel use is advised for metal cutting and
    grain grinding.
     As a result, it's critical that the load or feed rate
    correspond with the pedaler's pace. Avoid overloading
    yourself, as this disrupts your pedaling rhythm and
    typically results in a less consistent and interior work.
     It's crucial to select pulleys and sprockets with sizes that result in
    drive ratios that allow the user to sustain the intended pedaling
    pace, which is often between 50 and 60 RPM.

    V. CONCLUSION

    After the design, build, and extensive testing stages


    were completed, the result was a really satisfying pedal-
    powered hacksaw machine. The machine embodied
    efficiency and inventiveness, made possible by the
    utilization of locally accessible raw materials and well-
    Fig 1 Design established fabrication procedures. Extensive tests including
    the cutting of several materials, such as plastics, wooden
    pieces, and metal pipes, clearly showed the machine's
    capabilities. Its versatility and dependability were
    highlighted by its ease of handling a variety of materials.
    Furthermore, a methodical evaluation of the machine's
    performance versus existing models confirmed its
    superiority in terms of efficacy and efficiency.
