Yet another project... Power (Arhh arhh) Hack Saw.

Roger, does this saw come with the motor??? The ad you showed for $44.75 says without a motor. If yours has the motor then you can charge a lot more without me suing you for false advertising. YOU know I am kidding. The work you are doing with this is just another reminder of not only your abilities but your attention to detail. Beautiful work.

Indeed it does. Tested it yesterday and then just finished cleaning it up and painting it today.

Will assemble it tomorrow and then work on the stand. The stand is actually pretty decent for a cobbled together thing. They'd welded the motor to the pivot and so I'll fix all that and put my signature on it. Not sure yet what that'll be, but it'll come to me.

Will go get a new cord and belt for it tomorrow too and do the "raise the blade on the forward stroke" adjustment (it's a pull saw) and then, hopefully, call another project - done.

I know you've all been sitting on the edge of your seat awaiting the completion of this saw. I know I have. It is officially done and works pretty well. It needs a real power hacksaw blade, and they're out there, but it works fine with a regular hacksaw blade.

Thanks for following along and if you know someone who's a vintage tool fanatic, let them know it's available. I'm trying to research whether it has more of a scrap weight value or something more than that.

That thing is pretty sweet!

Are you thinking it may cut faster with the proper blade?

I made a few runs with it today to actually test it out. I woke up this morning knowing how to adjust the lift part. Funny (at least with me) I apparently dream how to solve things. Anyway, got that lift system working correctly and it cuts fine with a regular saw blade. I think it was designed originally to use them. I actually found the manual for it online and it shows a small-ish blade. I also found where a part on the flywheel was rubbing on the guard and did some clearancing on it. Might get a video of it tomorrow.
