Sorry no detailed build pics just the (almost) finished machine. I decided that almost everything I am doing in the shop involves cutting various bits metal to size so I put the carousel on hold to make a power hacksaw. This is has been a bit more of a pain than I foresaw I tried a single pivot point for the drive and arm movement first and didnt like the results so I gave the both movements their own points and it works much better that way. |

Cool machine! :thumbup: :clap: |

Very nice can it raise as it goes forward or just slide back and forth? I just bought one it's a great captain the lifter wasn't working right but after cleaning and new oil works fine. The lifter itself is quite simple if your interested. |

no Tom its just a simple back and forward machine I suppose adding a lifter for the back stroke wouldnt be too difficult but I was in a hurry to get some stuff cut so went for simplicity. I am planning when time permits to build a larger machine that will use the larger 350mm blades maybe I will fit a lifter to that one but thats far in the future, my next project is going to be a jacobs gear hobber and I will try to take better progress pics for that one. |

I've collected and saved all the old issues of ME which had references to that project in it. |
