This paper presents the fabrication and concept of four
way hacksaw blade machine mainly carried out for
production based industries. Industries are basically
meant for production of useful goods and services at low
production cost, Machinery cost and low inventory cost.
This project consists of a crank and slider mechanism,
linear bushing.

Circular Disc:
In mechanical engineering, an eccentric is a circular disk 3. Design of disc:
