This is a plastic holder for cutting 2040 aluminium profiles.
It has 4 holes for hold 8mm smooth steel to keep the cutting blade verical.
I initially tried with just the list in the plastic holder. I assumed that the steel hacksaw blade will be correctly guided by the slit and i will get a correct cut. Unfortunately it didn't happen. If the hacksaw blade goes out of alignment, it will cut the plastic as well.
So, I fitted 4 pieces of carbon steel 8mm rods to guide the hacksaw blade. Since carbon steel is stronger than the iron hacksaw blade, it will not get cut like plastic. With this, the cuttings are coming out much cleaner.
