picked up a power hacksaw that needs some TLC . it was mounted on a small rudimentary cart that will seem to be acceptable with gravity belt tightener.
1st replace power cord, is there a reason why a power hacksaw would not have ON / OFF switch ?
2nd pins that hold hacksaw blade on are 1/8 inch drill bits, which bind tight once blade is tightened ( blades are normal size hand hacksaw blades ) +++++
was thinking maybe heat treat a few small nails to replace this.
3rd vise is kinda lacking. anyone familiar with improving this ?
Do not think it was designed to stop when cutting is complete ?
for the $ 50.00 I am into it it works ok
