Reciprocating Hacksaw

Agree, I would grab it.
You might even be able to get it a bit cheaper.

I have one that was a home made one from the 70's.
The guy made it from plans in some engineering magazine.
It has a reciprocating hacksaw and a double grinder on the other side.

It is a bit slower than a cutoff bandsaw but it cuts straight and clean every time!

What i like about it is you set it up, flip the switch and away she goes!
You can go back to working on the lathe or browsing www.hobby-machinist.com while you wait!:thumbzup:
It should have an auto off once the cut is done.

I will never go back to the hacksaw again!!!

Good thing I don't still live in Plant City I'd be all over that thing. I have a Saw Master and I really like the power hacksaw.

Power hacksaws provide lots of cheap, straight cutting. Stroke on that saw is more like 5 or 6 inches. I had an old Keller that I rebuilt, used for many years, and sold to a friend of mine. It's still going strong. Hope you got it!

You did well, Whymier! Looks like you shouldn't need to do anything other than build an infeed and outfeed table. Let us know how well it cuts.
 
Just for reference, what's the blade length? Mine is 12". Stroke is about 5".
 
Mmmmm, yep, you would've been mad to walk away from that one!

Glad to see another good piece pulled from the dust to be put back to work.

Nice one!
 
Great to see it worked out for you and you got a good machine.
That machine will save you many hours with being able to do something else will it's cutting, not to mention not having to do it by hand.

If you cut any bar aluminum with your new jet, use plenty of lube on the blade. I didn't and broke the blade. It cuts steel really nicely, tho.
