My Power Hacksaw Attachment for Hercus Lathe

Hello visitor, I just finished building my power hacksaw attachment for my Hercus Metal Work Lathe and I am giving it a test run for the very first time, so I decided to take a movie of it and share with other YouTube users to see what can be accomplished when you put your mind to it, I made all the parts on my Hercus Metal Work Lathe out of old rusty scrap metal that I had laying around my work shop. As you can see it still needs some refining to get it to where I would like it, but despite that, not bad for my first attempt, feel free to leave any comments if you wish, I made this unit from some different plans I found on google and made some modifications to it get it working with in my Lathe enviroment. Hope you like my device and enjoyed watching this movie. Cheers from MagicBytes :D

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, :)

There in lies the problem,

Nice job, but i think it needs some weight on the end of it, it's chattering and taking a long time to cut...

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

Hi, do you have any plans for this saw please, new user to lathes and would like to try to build one just like it, many thanks

[iHDediting]

why have this its cool and all but too slow just cut it with a cutoff tool for the lathe

[liboy34]

hello you should put a weight on the higher amount

[RickyLee53]

Why not put the piece in the chuck and part it off haha.

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

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.

Funny thing is you're cutting off about a 1/4 inch tops on a round bar that would easily fit in that lathe and could be faced off in no time

[1955flashpointer]

you need 12 days for a cut, simple wrong system.
