>     Hacksawing cannot be compared to the action of a lathe tool

    the voice of bitter experience, you are so right. Additionally, a
    hacksaw is designed to cut at slow speed. A polishing lathe, even at
    low speed is turning quite fast. The surface speed of the cutting
    edges quickly overwhelms the blade by friction, the blade loses
    temper, deflects and breaks, or jams. 

    A safer way to shorten spindles (I've lost track, why are we
    shortening spindles?) is to use a carpenter's chop saw with a metal
    cutting, abrasive disk.
