Just after some opinions on these.
I've already got a rapidor hacksaw, but it is a bit of a project and currently in pieces. In addition I have a vertical bandsaw.
I've also got a portable bandsaw which is what I mainly use at the moment for cutting up a lot of stock as its so handy.
I thought I was pretty well covered for sawing, but one of these 4 1/2" vertical/horizontal saws has just come my way, it is being cleared out of a chaps garage and I've been offered it.
No idea on condition as I can't get to see it in person, but from the picture I've seen it is a Warco flavour and looks fairly old but not all that well used.
I suspect its been stood idle for many years.
Still waiting to hear what he wants for it.
Are these worth going for? I know they can be finicky and need a bit of tweaking to get running right.
I'm tight on space, and don't want to ditch the Rapidor - so in two minds as to what to do.
But gift horse and mouth springs to mind.
Anything worth checking on them?
Knowing the situation, I doubt I’m going to get the chance to test it before getting it home - so it will be largely sight unseen.
With this in mind what is the going rate?
