Abstract: 
The primary objective of this article is to develop a mathematical model of a power hacksaw operation mechanism. A MATLAB code was developed and implemented to run the simulation of the mechanism. The paper presents a MATLAB code implementation of the system using rotary to reciprocating motion to develop a mathematical model of the power hacksaw in a MATLAB software. The theory of rotary to reciprocating motion has been effectively used as an efficient approach to analyze the power hacksaw system and acceleration of the blade for two to three revolutions of the power hacksaw machine.
