Mine has a 1/3 hp motor which is also mounted "poorly ". I'm addressing that this afternoon
1/3 seems fine for what I'm cutting, as the is little or no binding
For blades I just ordered from kbc as they have a power hacksaw specific blade (starret). Blade was about 20 bucks
The blade will need a tweak to fit (Grind a profile)
The blades it came with are from COOP but I haven't seen anything that sturdy anywhere until I found the kbc blade
