well really i shouldnt call it a jacobs because that is built with a set of castings I will be making mine up as I go along :coffee: |

T D Jacobs hobber wasn't built with castings, it was all fabricated. |

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. --- End quote --- I wouldn't bother with a lifter - my Rapidor doesn't have one; the backstroke cleans the cut out, it also means it doesn't (technically...) matter which way around you mount the blade, I suspect convention means putting the blades facing forwards like a regular hacksaw. Mine tends to build up an even-ish pile of cuttings either side of the cut. |
