I thought I would share some photo's of a hack saw I designed and built with a friend in 2012, in fact we built two of them1352997226529.jpgDSC02356.JPGDSC02361.JPGDSC02363.JPGDSC02364.JPG and they use standard blade 10" long,you can use a 12" you just have to drill 3/16 hole where it needs to be.It also has a auto shut off switch, I"m updating drawings if some wants any. Contact me my "e" mail.

+1 on the plans. That's really a nice build. Does it use regular hacksaw blades? If so, how does it do on thicker material? What's the stock capacity? Sorry for all the questions, but I've been reluctant to drop the necessary coin for an import (HF) but I could really use a power hacksaw.

I am in the process of updating the original drawings, during the build some mods were made and the unit was made a little lighter and shorter. So if your patient I will post them soon.

It uses 10"blade with the hole opened up to .1872(3/16) dia. and you can use a 12" by putting the hole were needed. It can cut up to 4"square piece of what ever and runs at 175 strokes a min.
 
Josh you do good work that saw looks great and built to last, would love to have some plans if you make the available, that is so cool, they cut better than a band saw, thanks, Cajun Lathe
 
That's about the finest hack saw I've seen on the net. Great job. Dito on the plans.:allgood:

Josh,
Can you expand on how your auto shut off works?

I need to make something for my Marvel.
