hacksawed
Cut with blade
Hacksawed is the past tense of hacksaw, meaning to cut something with a hacksaw—a fine-toothed blade in a frame, used for cutting metal or other hard materials.
The word suggests laborious, back-and-forth cutting rather than clean slicing: He hacksawed through the padlock.
Also spelled hacksaw'd or used as hacksawn.
