You've obviously taken some care with this build my friend. I like the extra work put in like the radius on the con-rod clevis and the vice screw block. Did you get rid of the return chatter? Keep em' coming, I love to look at home built stuff by an engineer with some pride in his work.
nice lathe project looks good but not very pratical takes longer to set then to cut with a reg.hack saw and true in the lathe but still nice shop project
Maybe it's for the nostalgia but it would be way faster to put the piece in the chuck and use a cutoff tool. Yeah you'd waste a little stock but man watching that thing go back and forth drove me nuts!! Haha!! Plus it would take like 30 seconds to use the lathe as opposed to this. Don't get me wrong i dig the mechanics but time is of the essence. lol. Great job, i just don't see the practicality? Like Fall said, a bandsaw cuts circles around hacksaws! Keep building!! Peace!!
Very nice !. I used my lathe to power a Helve hammer, It worked quite good,
I would rather use your method of cutting metal,even if it took all day, Than to spend 10 min using a hand held hacksaw, I can NEVER cut a straight line,
I can still hear my dad saying "let the saw do the work",as I pushed down as hard as I could, :)
looks good i looked up some videos recently on power hacksaws. the best ones seem to lift up slightly on the backstroke and apply some weight on the cut stroke. It would probably be really complicated to rig something like that, though. The first machine shop I worked at had an old power hacksaw in the back of the shop. I always wanted to see it run but never did. They are neat old machines. I band saw can cut circles around them, though. There's an idea for your next project.
@schlusselmensch I don't know why you even took the effort to login to YouTube to post your worthless comments on my YouTube Video, if you had a brain which you clearly don't, you would know what this YouTube Video is all about, you obviously did NOT read the topic about this video, so why don't you just keep your comments to your self and go onto the next YouTube Video and stop pestering YouTube Users about there Vidoes they wish to share with interested users!
@MagicBytes I have to thank you for a laugh that I sorely needed this early in the morning! And it's "their videos" not "there videos". There, I've saved you from coming across as an illiterate cunt in your next production. No need to thank me!
@schlusselmensch You know, I searched your nicname on googles and found many articles about you and it states that you do nothing but complain about everything, pestering users who enjoy their hobbies and love to share with the community, you need to get a life bud, you could start by going back to school and get yourself an education, you might learn something very valuable, but then I doubt it ! ! !
@MagicBytes Nickname or nick name, not nicname you cretin. And what the hell is googles? If you can chide me at reasonable length without a single spelling mistake, I'll stop LOL.
@schlusselmensch My spelling has a lot to be desired I agree, but at least I don't go around surfing web pages reading articles just to leave worthless criticism for users who enjoy their hobbies, it so happens many visitors left me very nice comments about my video articles which is more than I can say for you, besides I wouldn't want to be at your level if thats how you folk portray yourselves, you ignorant excuse for a human being.
@MagicBytes You were doing really well until "thats". As far as your "hacksaw" goes you do realize that power hacksaws require a lifting mechanism on the backstroke, don't you? All you've made here is a blade dulling machine. There, some valuable information for you. So much for ignorance hmmm?
@schlusselmensch For your information, I love to keep the hacksaw blade manufactures in business by dulling out there blades, I really do believe in supporting those hard working people who invest large sums of money to keep people employed!!!
@MagicBytes Well, you're doing a fine job then! There's a vid of a stationary engine driven power hacksaw on YT that displays the required action quite plainly whereas in most of the others the lifting is not readily apparent. Plus there's a stationary engine so it is just nice to watch!
@MagicBytes Hey, there's no rule that forces you to reply. If you want the conversation to end, just stop typing! And you learned something new, didn't you?
Lift your files on the backstroke and they'll last far longer as well.
@schlusselmensch Yes I do know about the back lift on the back stroke, but that is not the point of this video, if you happen to look at part two, you will in fact get the whole picture of what I am trying to show, that a general handy man could make a machine like this using conventional tools and a little imagination!
@MagicBytes Yes, but what's the point of making something that doesn't work properly when you are obviously quite capable of making the bits to end up with what you claim it to be?
@schlusselmensch It so happens that it is not the completed project, "excluding the the back lift on the back stroke" the point of the matter is that this power hacksaw does not need any complicated dove tail slides for it to work, it is a simple design that I found in a mechanic's magazine that really impressed me, so I set about making one to see if in fact it actually works and as you can see from my video, it does work well, if I decide to go the extra mile and finish it!!!
@cncmandevgan Hello, thanks for your comment, the blade was an old worn out one, since I purchased new blades it cuts much quicker and if you look at my second video I made some improavements.
@trailbusterbrute Hello, sure you can and maybe even a broaching tool too, as a matter of fact when I get time I am going to have a go at both of those idea's. Cheers from MagicBytes
@Guds777 hello, the reasons I made this design was to see if this works with out having the slide, this could be made at home using scrap metal laying around your shed and also to keep the costs down as band saw blades are expensive compared to regular hand held hacksaw blades. This design I found in a science magazine and wanted to see if it actually works, as you can see it does a good job. cheers from MagicBytes
@scottysavage , hello thanks for your comment, but look at part two of this video tutorial, you will see that I did in fact make a weight which now works even better, cheers :)
Well seeing as my lathe only has a 5/8 inch hole straight through the shaft and if my material is too long to put in the chuck then this attachment will come in handy, you can cut off the required length needed, there are many uses for such an attachment :D. Thanks for your comment. Cheers MagicBytes :)
Hello again, I found from a popular science magazine feb 1964 edition that I searched on google search words "Power Hacksaw Plans" , there are many results and many different designs, I chose the simplest one and least cost , plus I made mine from scrap that I had laying around my home, I don't have any plans of the one I made, I might create one to share with every one, but you have to realise that this one fits on a Hercus lathe and I am using the lathes back gears, Cheers from MagicBytes
Hello togaida, thanks for visiting my video, have a look at the second video (PART 2), I made some improvements by adding a weight at the top of tha hacksaw frame that can be slid to the front or back end of the blade frame, but I think I need more weights or a new blade so it cuts faster. Cheers from MagicBytes
Nice design, where (what keywrords) might I find the plans for this power hacksaw in google? You should look at older, cast iron, standalone power hacksaws, the front end of those hacksaws were sort of an oblong weight built into the design of those old power hacksaws which helped in cutting metal because...well, the weight of the cast iron. Maybe you sould envelope th front end of yours, but possibly with removable weight but designed to look as though it was designed with the saw
Back again, I found out what is causing the vibration problem, it was the crank shaft was protruding too far out from the chuck, so I put in much closer and now the vibration has dissappeared, so now I will add that weight you sugested to use, that will take me a few days to complete, I keep every one posted on my progress, looks like this project will be a good one that works really well. Cheers From MagicBytes
Yes I know about the vibration, I have to try and work on eliminating the vibration, I tried reversing the cutting blade, but that didnt help much, so I tried using a heavy weight and that didnt help much either, personally I think it has some thing to do with the rocking action of the blade while cutting, may have to shorten the length of the stroke maybe, will work on it today and see what happens, will keep every one posted on this project. Cheers :)
i have never heard of this but am very impressed. it looks very well built. it sounds like you are getting a lot of vibration or chatter from the blade. maybe a slight downward force would help, or a weight of some sort applying pressure on the blade?
Very very sweet, suppose a timed cam would lift it, however I have a perfect 1914 lifted
hydralically. Your work flashed my mind it says shaper, what you have maybe easier
than making a scotch yoke. dont worry about bad mouths-fine job ya never run out of
enough lathe attachments thanks sam

could use a spring or coil at bottom corner for resistis.
you have the drive but no downward force
could raise the hinge to have a down wrad angle to have more force

It misses one thing commercial power hacksaws have: A feed system wich lifts the saw up on the back stroke and pushes it down on the cutting stroke.
