bandsaw or power hacksaw

I just recut the grease nipple threads in the saw to fit ones I had in stock. Plenty of grease on the tap stops the swarf falling inside.

I never thought of that 

I have not cut anything yet I wanted to be sure about lubrication but I'm off work all week  so first thing tomorrow I shall have a play

I have the Axminster band saw in the link It's a good little saw and cuts straight

I tried it today Bogs gave it a grease and stuck a piece of 15mm steel bar in it and she cut lovely
I see what you mean about the air strut
Then I put a piece of 2" stainless steel and got about 4mm into it before the blade was blunt
