Hello all, Can any one tell me a quick easy way to drill a hole in the end of a hacksaw blade.I am building the E T Westbury mechanical benchtop saw which requires blades approx 8"/200mm long.I have a ready supply of standard 12"300mm all hard blades which I can grind to length (and cost me nothing).Just need to put the litttle hole in.Im sure there most be an easy way. Thanks ,Mike |

Mike, Unless you soften the area, and drill thru with a normal drill, then reharden, the easiest way is to grind thru with a diamond or emery mounted point. Or you could try resharpening a carbide masonry drill to a normal drill point, and slowly drill thru with a fair amount of downwards pressure. It might work, it might not. John |

Mike If your building the saw why not make it fit your cheep supply of blades. :beer: Stew |

Some previous owner of my little shaper made a hacksaw frame for it and only one end of the blade has a hole while the other has two notches ground in it to fit between two pins on the frame. It works, sort of. ::) |
