I bought this powered hacksaw several years ago. Mounted it up on a roll around stand. Played with it a while till I got it all working right. It's kinda neat, but I figured I wouldn't use it that much. Well, I have surprised myself by how often I find myself using it. I put an automatic cut-off switch on it and can turn it on and walk off. Just need to go by and dribble some oil on now and then. I plan on an automatic drip oiler one day. It has become pretty handy and cuts very straight.Craftsman 230/140 AC/DC Miller HF-251D-1Millermatic 130 Linclon 40 amp plasma cutterHypertherm Max 20 O/A cutting and welding stuff5HP Ingersoll air compressor

Reply:Boy that brings back memories. I build one like that back in the 70's there was one shown as a construction article in a magazine. A welder from across the street copied it for his home use. The big thing I found was do not oil the blade, it will clog it up, the chips need to fall free.DIY CNC Plasma table USB BOB Price THCHypertherm 65Everlast PowerTig 255 EXTMiler 180 Mig13" metal latheMill/ DrillECT, ECT,

Reply:We had one of those old dinosaurs in the machine shop up until about 93, I think it took a 30 inch bimetal blade, it had a coolant pump and used soluble oil and flooded the cut to wash chips out. We replaced it with a nice bandsaw, the new saw would cut across a 40 inch wide piece, the blades wer something like 28 ft 6inches or so, it seemed huge, but was a nice saw, it would cut within .006 -.008 on a 16 inch HERCALLOY TUBE.NRA LIFE MEMBERUNITWELD 175 AMP 3 IN1 DCMIDSTATES 300 AMP AC MACHINELET'S GO BRANDON!"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

Reply:Good memories. First shop I worked at had two auto feed hacksaws. They'd be set up at knock off time every day for repetition work with full length bar stock and in the morning they'd be all cut up. During the day one guy full time keeping them running. They never stopped.They were slow and steady but cut dead square and didn't throw sparks or shards so were safe.Last edited by Woznme; 1 Week Ago at 07:24 AM.

Reply:That old power hacksaw may be slow, but the 2x HF sized bandsasw I have had aren't' worth a cent.Crooked cuts, throwing blades.Maybe I just have to set it right, but I have never found the proper working trim.

I have a light duty version of the above saw, and it's been a good machine. I don't use it much now that I have the bandsaw, but it has it's place if I'm cutting something that might wreck a blade. It came with an industrial blade, but I don't see them around anymore so I just put decent quality bi-metal blades in it. I also have a Chinese version of John's single blade holder but they come in plastic now.

Reply:I have seen those saws in metal suppliers, but they are not used much. when I go there to pick up material I usually ask for the dull blades (they scrap them) to make shop knives out of them. I just cut the profiles and grind the bevels without overheating them so I can avoid to heat treat them. I drill a few 3mm holes with solid carbide bits for pins and slap some hardwood scales with epoxy. Done! I am talking about the aforementioned industrial blades (thick and wide).If I owned one of those saws, I will try to refurbish it a bit, at leas wire brush/sandblast, degrease and a lick of paint. It would be cool to have arround.Mikel
Reply:They work well but there is a very good reason they arent used much anymore. There are just too many modern options that are more efficient and versatile. Here is a cheap import I refurbished.
:I think I have 4 power hack saws. 3 are converted from line shaft drives and 1(Racine) was always a motor drive. None are painted but if someone would like to see them painted, they have my permission.---Meltedmetal

Reply:It's hard to have a favorite hacksaw, but this old classic would be my choice. Spends most of it's time hanging around under the welding bench these days...

Reply:Pretty much the identical machine... I never used the coolant system either. The original owner never used it much so I think I might still be on the original blade... got a few bi-metals that are going to have to go into it soon though.The harder you fall, the higher you bounce...250 amp Miller DialArc AC/DC StickF-225 amp Forney AC Stick230 amp Sears AC StickLincoln 180C MIGVictor Medalist 350 O/ACut 50 PlasmaLes
Reply:It looks like the old style of the 4x6 saw?The only found was getting blades that did not break. The break long before wearing out. I drawings some were of Popular Mechanics hacksaw using standard blades. Dave

Only thing I did was check adjustment, rip out the coolant system and buy quality blades. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
