    Default Macson hacksaw coolant pump

    Has anyone out there got a Macson hacksaw fitted with a coolant pump?
    The pump is a 5 cm spring loaded cylinder which operates off the cam lobe in the bottom of the tank.
    If so has anyone pulled one of these suckers apart recently?

    The reason I ask is I had a Macson burnt in a fire a decade ago. The pump was full of rust and charcoal when I pulled it apart. Recently acquired another Macson (from this forum) not fitted with a pump and wish to rebuild my old unit.

    I haven't seen anything Macson for about 30years .
    They made a decent lathe ,I used one for quite a few years at the place where I did my time ( no not prison ).
    Maybe they are like the old Hercus hacksaws with a cam operated piston pump ,with a plunger and a spring return.
