No advice, but I'm a bit curious about this contraption. Is is essentially a sawzall/reciprocating saw mounted on a bench?
I'm extremely low on battery right now but basically an electric motor drives a gear the drive the hacksaw blade back and forth next to a clamp that hold your peace and there's a tuna can full of lead at the end that puts force on the hacksaw blade it cuts really well
several different angles
If anyone wants a video I can text it to you I don't know how to upload it here
Harbor Freight?

Not only do I want a video but i realize my life has been missing a power hacksaw. F250 then 6003 of the clan 904.
Neat, I could definitely use something like that, as I was hacksawing steel today and now my arm is sore lol.
I have a similar one I inherited from my grandfather. Mine's a bit different in that it uses a chain for the reciprocating motion rather than gears but also has a electric motor with a belt like this one. I'll get a pic tomorrow.

I think I sent you a video. I sent somebody a video
I didn't get it. Maybe if you can email it's my username @ my username.com.
I like Lennox bimetal blades for things like this and sawzalls.
It sure looks like some liquid cooling would extend blade life.
In reply to Ranger50 :
I had a can WD-40 that I sprayed the metal with as I was cutting
Lennox, everything else is crap.
I use Lennox, Simonds or Roentgen blades in hacksaws and bandsaws.
The powered hacksaws use some different size blades than you can usually pick up at Lowes, I have found them on McMaster-Carr before.
I have used Starrett, they last a long time. From MSC Part #: 03381233 on sale $1.95
