Good comment, juicycle! You can see the spring pulling the hacksaw down, but you are correct, the teeth were still bouncing a little. Humans are really good at these things, and machines are not so good. That was a quick movie to show the idea worked (it was actually cutting pretty fast!) and now I have to take it to the next level.
That's a cool idea, but I wonder if a band saw would be more efficient than hacksaw.

Good observation. I wish I had time to test it.

what is the advantage to this? i think using a hack saw normally would save alot of prep time and space!

even just a lead weight attached to the upper arm of the saw would probably dampen the sound and give it more cutting power

I bet it goes thru alot of saw blades.

YEA! that is hot ! . i believe it needs a 'dampner' - shock device to hold the teeth at the buisness area...
