Reply:I have one and use it often to cut mystery metal, bars with flame cut edges and rebar which can sometimes ruin a $40.00 bimetal blade on my ellis bandsaw.Blades for the hack saw are cheap as I make up my own 1"x.035x12" blades for the little power hack saw from my Ellis bandsaw blades that have broken and still have life left in them.I have found that regular 1/2" hack saw blades break and snap easily.The little 12 power hack saw has saved me a bunch !RegardsBobThermal Arc T-Bird 270 Amp gas welder Thermal Arc Pro Wave 185PowerArc 200 Riland 60 PlasmaMiller suitcase 12vs wire feeder, 180 Amp Diesel Welder GenEllis 1600 bandsawImig 205 Mig,Eastwood 250 migLincoln 250 G9 Pro gas Weldanpower
