Daynee Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 This hacksaw I got at an auction for $3.50 ,I put a 1/3 HP motor on it and fixed a small broken cast peace. Today I bolted down to my shed floor and fired it up, it runs great and sounds like an old steam engine. Its a Fairbanks hacksaw and it looks to be pat in 1903. CUTS GREAT!!!! daynee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike-hr Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Nice machine. It's hard to tell from the picture, but it might benefit from a sheetmetal guard to keep chips out of the electric guts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
