    Default Hacksaw Jig

    Am cleaning up the shed at the moment and came across this from my fathers estate.

    An Eteco Hacksaw Jig manufactured by C C Engineering Industries in Sydney - long since gone from my best knowledge. Would think it might be post war but my father was a between wars apprentice boilermaker so it could be from that time.

    Anyone tell me more about it and whether it is collectable? It is designed to be clamped to a 4" Dawn engineers vice. Not worth me keeping it because I don't do a lot of metal work but offionados out there might have different ideas.

    G'Day James,
    Looks too good not to keep.
    Try asking "The Traditional Tools Group"
    The Traditional Tools Group (Inc.)
    Cheers, crowie

    Hi Jamie,

    Beautiful looking set.

    As well as the TTTG, you could also contact the HTPAA http://www.htpaa.org.au

    There are members of both groups on the forums here. I'd contact Peter McBride aka Lightwood, or Peter Evans aka HeavensAbove.

    ETECO is Efficient Tool & Engineering Co, I think? Not sure where C.C Engineering fit into the picture, maybe ETECO is a marketting brand of CC.

    Seeing as it's from your father's estate, I would think it has some sentimental value.

    Regards
    Ray

    I have one of these jig sets here in Melbourne. Do you have the manual or any instructions on how to use the jig?
    Would be very interested to see some sample setups fo the jig.
    Thanks in advance.

    G'day Keith,
    I'm at the Brisbane T&WWWS at the moment but when I get a chance I'll try and scan the original manual for you.
