I'm going to #asknostr because I don't know who else to ask.
When using a hack saw to cut steel do you oil the blade/workpiece?
I always use some sort of lubricant when drilling holes through metal but never really thought about doing the same when cutting. I was working on a small project that required cutting and then drilling a piece of 3/4" bar steel and it pictured to me that perhaps oiling the cut might prolong the life of the saw.
