Overly complicated hack saw...

[RaceDiagnostics]

Was up a at a mates house today picking up some scrap materials and he showed me this and asked if I wanted it. I declined as I just don't have the space. An angle grinder would make short work of anything that would fit in it

He is also trying to get rid of this ML7 in Aberdeen but also no space for that either.

If you bolt the angle grinder in place of the blade.......

Now Id say you made a mistake regarding the saw. I acquired one, it came from a test lab in a cable factory. Same recip part and vice but motor was on the back fixed to a base plate.
It was in the way, so sold it to a guy I know into model making for 60 quid, who then sold it for £200. He obviously knew exactly what it was.

Nothing wrong with a nodding donkey saw. Great for big diameter solid rounds/squares , set it up and walk away for a few minutes, I rate them.

Given I was going up to Aberdeen to pick up a bunch of scrap I didn't want to spend too much on fuel so took it easy in the Golf, stuck to 60mph. It's now 10 years old, I recon I'll be able to get another 10 years out of it. Hopefully EVs will have improved by then.

Looks like a Kennedy Hexacut saw. I had one, chopped it up for metal. Mine was older and had a flat belt that wouldn't stay on the pulley.

I'd have snagged that saw... A angle grinder would also make short work of distributing grinding dust all over the rest of the workshop, make a row cutting, need discs too often and not let you stuff a enormous round in and wander off while it does its thing and cuts through it...

Now Id say you made a mistake regarding the saw

I would too, the worst thing about it is the clamp which struggles with larger items and sometimes lets go mid cut but it is a useful little tool despite that

That has been geared down as the standard fitted motor only has the one small to large ratio belt

The standard fitted motor also automatically switches off when the cut is complete

the depth gauge is useful for repeated cuts

I've literally got no space left in the garage and the shed. If I'd taken it I would have to build a new shed.

God forbid, another shed & room for more boys toys/tools. So, you're excuse is....

 

[tom2207]

just out of curiosity , does it take normal hacksaw blades ,,, that would be even cuter

 

[brightspark]

yep just standard ones snap them a bit shorter to length
