Old Power Hacksaw

[steamer123]

Nice saw! I would love to find one of those for my lineshaft. 

[oWarpatho]

myfordboy on here has plans available to build one! He is a great machinist!

I would so love this! - takes me back to my toolmaking days.

My husband owns one of these but we have no documentation about it? Does anyone have any information on the model or anything on it so we can locate specs or manuals or anything?

[DrFrankensteam]

Never seen one before in my life! Absolutely fascinating!!!! I simply MUST build or purchase one!!!

I'm trying to figure out how the clutch and self stop work on this charmer...

When I was at school. Bective Boys School Northampton UK. They had ones like this in the metal work classroom. Wonderfull. I wish I had noe now to put onto my stationary engine.

Funnily enough, I was planning on building something similar to this next. A very clever piece of engineering.

If they are not too worn out, those old power hack saws will cut more accurately than a lot of today's imported horizontal band saws.

Though this may be an antic designed power saw, I think it's still ingenious today. However one problem is the lack of adequate downward force (exerted during the cutting stroke), which makes it cut much longer than it should (as this force appear only to be contributed by the weight of the hacksaw only).

[DRNEGOLICIS]

i think the handle on top is for the operator to apply more pressure and lift the blade when done

[slome815]

newer power hacksaws have a automatic feed wich also lifts the blade a bit on the backstroke.

[troublemakir]

@7olusegun Untrue there is a weight hanging there which is adjustable. More weight=more downward force exerted. This will put useless stress on the blades on the backstroke but this is not a problem apparently.

cool.

[ChipMaker30]

It makes great music.

[gixxer1000rr]
