I'm needing a decent, metal cutting saw for my home shop and am thinking about an old power hacksaw.
Does anybody have one that they use regularly?
I would expect to have to overhaul it - bushings, gibs, etc but that would be okay with me.
What brand names should I search for?
Is there any brand that is better than all the rest?
Not sure of the size. I suppose something in the 15-18" blade range.
Does anyone here know of one near the Twin Cities (Minnesota) that might be for sale?
Thanks
PS, I suspect a band saw might be better and faster but those seem to fetch a pretty high price and I just like old school stuff.
I know a guy can buy something from Harbor Fright or Jet, Grizzly, or some such but I do not want one of those.
