Anyone know this power hacksaw

[silversid]

This has just come into my possession, it looks homemade, has any one seen/know anything about it?

Interesting, any chance of a picture of the other side and end-on views?

If it stops raining I’ll drag it out side and take some more pics (by the way it’s bloody heavy)

It certainly looks heavy, I'd be inclined to move the wheels nearer the centre of gravity so it isn't such a weight to lift at one end.

apart from it being home made and it has a flameproof motor on it nothing much more to say as long as it does the job

err i wouldnt move the wheels if i were him unless u want it running back and forth out of the shed on its own momentum

FFS it shouldn't be beyond the wit of man to arrange some sort of chocks.

I have the wheels just behind the C of G on my homemade compressor, there are two short legs to the rear and a scissors jack to the front. When it's in place I just jack it up at the front, the legs contact the ground and when it's level the wheels are off the ground.

I think I have seen one exactly the same before..at Silloth car boot last year, I nearly bought it... bet it's the same one

It does cut ok, a bit slow but pretty good for home made.
Think I'll stick it on ebay, I have a band saw so no need for it.
What price should I put it up for?

Difficult to put a price on something like that, really it's what someone is prepared to pay for it. Start of at scrap value, or what the motor would be worth?

None of the donkey saws are exactly what one might class as speed demons.

I'd personally start it quite low if you're plonking it on there, (£20 to £30), and let it decide its own price. It's a tidy piece of kit, but it just depends on whom is interested at the time.

 

[cumbriasteve]

The one I saw at the car boot..possibly the same saw as I mentioned earlier, was going for £40 but that does not mean people won't bid higher, sometimes items like that can fetch scary prices.

Silversid, do you know the size of the hexagonal bars making up the double overarm?

I'm guessing it's 30mm?

 

[s410man]

what a nice example of what can be made using what looks like mainly scrap parts

They are 38mm.

They are 38mm.

Thx, appreciate the effort.

I reckon that could have made from kit or from a design in a magazine or similar.
