Hi, A short video on the Warco Mechanical hacksaw. I took the covers of and oiled it. Regards, Matthew |

Matthew, I have a very dim recollection that there was an adjuster on the dash pot system that worked by screwing a pointed bar against an orifice to regulate the rate of oil flow for descent. That thing does two things - it raises the blade off the work on the return stroke and controls the rate of descent on the forward cutting stroke. It's the rate of descent that was adjustable but I'm puzzled that I see no sign of the tweaker :scratch: |

Andrew, I wondered about that, there is a screw opposite the "exhaust" port on the small dash pot, but it doesn't go very far. It's a really clever mechanism that works just with the pistons and oil ports, really neat! From what I remembered of the one we had in school over fifty years ago, seeing the system made my memories of it lifting on the return stroke come back. I know I'm going to enjoy having the Warco, it's got the same sort of attraction when running as a shaper! |

Warco only badge engineered it - it was a generic Taiwanese import. |

Some more on the Warco! I hope it's of interest! I have gone from 9 subscribers to 12 which is a 33% jump! Regards, Matthew |
