I just picked up a stationary bike for the motor and I think I can make a power hack saw from it by using one of the pivots. It has a 2 speed motor 1/4-1/2 HP with a gear box to slow it down to a good speed for a saw. It has a high-low speed switch and a on-off switch for the pedals. I am looking for ideas to hook up a hack saw on it. I will get the seat and some other parts off to make it smaller, but would like to use the bottom frame since wires go thru it for the switches. The big spring in front is for adjusting person weight for the seat with the crank handle, so that can be removed. I do know I will have to make some sort of table w/vice somewhere on it and make a blade holder above it. The motor speed is 1140-1725 and the gear box slows it down to a speed similar to slow hand sawing speed which got me thinking about this in the first place. Any good ideas will be welcome. Thanks
