When making hacksaw cuts, where should the cuts be made in relation to the mark?

On the outside of the mark
On the inside of the mark
Directly on the mark
Above the mark

The correct answer is: On the inside of the mark

When making hacksaw cuts, the cuts should be made on the inside of the mark. This is important because the width of the saw blade needs to be taken into account, as the blade removes material as it cuts. If the cut is made directly on the mark, there is a risk of overshooting the desired cut line due to the kerf (the material removed by the blade) that can lead to inaccuracies in the final dimensions of the piece being cut. By cutting on the inside of the mark, the millwright ensures that the final dimension of the workpiece will be as close as possible to the intended measurement, helping to achieve a more precise and accurate result. This technique also helps account for the inherent variability in saw cutting and keeps the finished edge of the material as intended.
