    On the assumption this is for compressors, I would get a 4 1/2" grinder for around $15-20 at Harbor Freight. Even cheaper with coupon. And grab a 10 pack of cutoff wheels. NOT grinding wheels.

    That's how I started out, before graduating to the plasma.

    Hacksaw blades are specially designed in a manner that it cuts on the forward stroke only. This is why it should be designed with the teeth facing away the handle. Blades are generally made from various of materials but it is recommended to use carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel and alloy steel. There are also some more kind of materials and alloys being used in forming blades which are cobalt and titanium alloys. Stainless steel are kind of material which can easily be accessible in the market and it should not be quite costly.
