I p/u this power hacksaw last month to help with the all the cutting for the 2x72 belt grinder, got it working well enough to finish all the rough cuts then tore it down for a rebuild.
Every bushing and bearing was crunchy or wallowed out and so loud I had to wear ear protection.
It looks old but was made in 1983 in Taiwan, now that all the bushings and bearings have been replaced and the gibb properly adjusted it's very quiet, really solid design.
The large C clamp is temporary until I can fabricate a new clamping washer to hold the vice in place, the old system has simply worn out.
I may have to drill a series of locking pins to hold it at 90 - 45 degrees, not sure yet.
I has an automatic shut off, a hydraulic lift on the back stroke, a coolant pump and reservoir.
