Sears power hacksaw repair

[Defender92]

I picked up this power hacksaw in a package deal. I’m planning on cleaning it up and putting it to work.

Like a dummy I broke it as soon as I got it home. I broke off one of the studs that holds the blade on.

Can anyone tell me what material to use on this for a replacement? I’m sure it’s got to be hardened or something. Can I just match it up with a metal dowel pin from my local hardware??

Thanks guys

Yes, hardened dowel pin would be my first choice.

Lol. The other two are woodworking. Older Shop Smith and a Delta jigsaw. I’m planning on selling them as I have no interest in woodworking. I was hoping the jigsaw could handle metal but nope.



And a Sears 133.22560 sander for an extra $20. That will go into my kydex holster shop

It is nice that your hacksaw still has the vise, this is often damaged or missing on these saws.

that scroll saw could be made into a die filer.

That work light on the scroll saw is quite a desirable item, worth some extra money,

The holes in the blade blocks are threaded on my saw. Just use quality machine screws.

Perhaps, a socket head capscrew would be appropriate (Allen head).
