hi, i have been wanting to build a power hacksaw for many years and of course been down the google path over and over. most of what is available is small and cheap type designs but i would like something of good quality and still compact enough to be practical in a hobby workshop. i know the imported saws are cost effective and its just plug in and go but i want a project and something completed thats going to be around for my grand kids to admire. it must be from bar stock totally and us a damping thats adjustable, vfd controlled or gearbox no sure yet. smooth acting movement, quiet and compact in design. accurate and adjustable to be kept correct. does anyone know of plans , photos or a past project i could copy. thanks brett.
