pjf134, I'm about to start on the overarm mechanism for the saw that I'm building since 2010. I guess I'm about 70% into the project.
Recently I've also been thinking of building a poor man's shaper based upon a power hacksaw mechanism.
Dalee, you're right - the demands on the gear train is going to be enormous. I saw one guy using an automobile flywheel and starter motor gear on his power hacksaw which may be the answer.
Been focusing more on how to make a lift and x-y table.
Any case, pjf134 please keep me in the loop with your hacksaw build and any ideas you may have for building a shaper.
GK1918, all I can say is, I'm envious. And I mean that in a very good way.
