When I started as an apprentice I was told to stand with legs slightly apart and to be as comfortable as possible and to point my fore finger along the backbone of the hacksaw. The secret is having the job level and your vice at the right hight for yourself. Another little tip is if your left handed us the left hand side of the vice and if your right handed use the right hand side so that when you cut through if your hand shoots forward you dont take the skin off your knuckles, that hurts!!!!!!!!!
