Like "Plasma", I favour a powered hacksaw.īlackgates offer a machined kit but you will need a motor & a few other bits. " no one seems to do powered hacksaws now - that I can find anyway. Tuffsaws supplied mine and I've had no trouble over the last eight years of ownership. They are, in my opinion, superior to the factory-fitted one. I would also recommend fitting a bi-metallic blade. Most, if not all, will reuire a little tweakery to cut square and vertical. Don't expect it to cut true straight out of the box. There are plenty od used ones out there with more than enough life in them. I have a six inch and a four inch just for good measure. Many favour a bandsaw but I love my donkey hacksaw. I have cut quite large dia bar both ally and BMS with no problems Morning Ian, I have the Warco CY 90 and not had any issues after I re aligned the main drive wheels for the saw band and adjusted the the blade guides to cut vertical I am looking at either the Chester or Warco metal cutting bandsaws as no one seems to do powered hacksaws now - that I can find anyway.Īnyone got the small Chester or Warco Bandsaws? How do you get on with them? Trying to kit out a new noobs workshop, and it's become very apparent that I'm going to need a saw, or get lots of exercise with the hacksaw!
