Rest in peace Ed. We're all gonna miss you here, and Curie is going to miss you too, more than anyone

[@PocketOperatorGuy]

Rest Peacefully my friend. You were a great person and I learned a lot from you.

Goodbye Aussie RIP :/

[@JonDingle]

I bought a power hacksaw at an auction for £4.00 plus fees. About £4.40 then! I used to cut steel for a small farm building I made for my brother-in-law. I sold it after the job and made a fair profit. I have since bought and brought back to working order an Excel 7x12bandsaw. I got that in a bankruptcy auction for £270 and have spent about £85 on it to get it fit to work. I used to leave my power hacksaw cutting though thick sections of steel at the end of the day and the following morning I had my parts cut. Always worth buying these simple machine tools!

Apart for the squeak, I just find the power hacksaw so fascinating to watch. It might not have the horsepower of the bandsaw but who care if your not in a rush.

Thought that saw was about to start its own techno-rave remix session.

[@frankmcgorman962]

It may take a bit longer than a band saw, but if it gets the job done, that's all that you need to know.

No wonder no one uses them it sounds like the next door neighbors bed after a few drinks in the pub 😆

Miss you my friend ❤️

[@Match2100]

Very nice unit! I picked one up a few years ago for $50, it had had the single phase conversion by having a washing machine motor fitted. She's been crashed pretty bad at some stage in her life and the top casting has been brazed back up which is a skill almost lost to history too!

[@TheSolidsnake41]

Great bit of kit there bud. 👍

[@AmericanLocomotive1]

Great saw. Band sawa are awesome, but sometimes it's nice to use an older piece of equipment, even if it isn't the fastest.

[@Aussie50]

I have to agree with that, people want WAY too much for them on Gumtree, way too much. recycling yards and machine surplus liquidators are best to keep an eye on, and even they can charge a bit, I got lucky this one was laying in the mud and they just sold it to me as steel scrap along with a pallet jack and other bits of stuff

Nearly lost my whole jaw when I started to refurbish my Parkanson. Gib too tight , flicked up missing the arm (bent) “can see why it was tho” close to 90’ and just started bouncing and scared the poop 💩 out of me. My gawash , they are definitely a “revolver” . Pistol whipped by one and you wouldn’t know that it was actually the other ! 😂❤

[@RolandElliottFirstG]

Its suprising how fast they do cut, there is a you tube clip of a comparison of band saw and power hacksaw under equal conditions and the power hacksaw was faster.

[@DJignyte]

Bloody hell she flew through that!

[@godfreypoon5148]

If the power hacksaw is the Revolver of the metal cutting world, then a bandsaw would be the Sgt Pepper's.

I could give one a try. Wet saws are so much money

[@chewtoyize]

You need to stop it wandering off lol

[@TechGorilla1987]

I cannot help but think that the oscillating of that saw on it's base really takes some wallop out of the cutting action. I may be wrong.

[@kumitenos666]

nice solid saw making easy work of it. and just like a revolver it is more accurate than by hand(or a glock lol).

and the blades are way cheaper it's a safer machine it's smaller it's more reliable, blades won't break, no welding repairs, less parts to break

[@20_below]

revolvers are more accurate and powerful than their semi auto counterparts

[@Aussie50]

accuracy, well that depends on the maker and quality of the gun, my old Smith 38 would struggle to hit the broad side of a barn compared to my friends G17L, but done right, a Revolver is an awesome target gun, or as you said, a big hog stopper in somthing like 458 casull or 500mag :D

LOL, a story from a guy I worked with.... A new labor hire fucked up bigtime and destroyed somthing rather expensive, boss came in next day and gave him until the end of that day (8 hours) to cut through a piece of 150mm solid round hot rolled steel with a regular hacksaw, he did it!, kept his job and went on to become a fitter.
