Correct use of Mechanical Hacksaw

[Welderpaul]

if the blades go blunt they cut funny.

If the blade goes blunt aint it time to change it? Biggest problem is when cutting heavy stuff with a newish blade, if a couple of teeth snap off, it all goes wibbly-wobbly. I find the blades work better when they have dulled-off a little. Seem to chatter a lot when new. One of my pet hates that - someone forcing the blade through something too fast or not clamping round section tight enough so the blade spins the tube/bar. I hear myself reminding them that thats 25 quid down the drain.

What do you think's gonna turn up then?

Word is he saw a 6" dia cut hacksaw and wants that, cos it's cheap. Bloody idiot. It'll be useless for half the jobs we have, and he's not using my oxy/acet!

I have a a 6" power hacksaw Ajax, I love it, but wouldn't use it if i was trying to make money in any serious way, that said it makes really nice smooth straight cuts, and only cost me £185 in pretty much mint condition and i've heard they cost £2000 new, much better than a cheapo 6" bandsaw i could have had for the same price, takes up less floor space too, as I said though no good for an industrial workshop much too slow.
