The Millers Falls Co., 93 Reade street, New York, recently placed a useful power hack saw, of which the cut in this column is an illustration, on the market.
This saw, as seen in the cut, is made to run with a belt, and is adapted to their 10, 11 and 12-inch star hack saw blades. One blade used in this frame will do ten times as much work as is usually done with it by hand, it is claimed, as the speed and pressure are regulated and uniform. One blade will out off a steel shaft five inches in diameter several times. It runs forty strokes per minute and does its work without attention. The material to be sawed is held firmly in the clamp, and the saw works clear of the top of the bench frame.
The manufacturers are using five of these machines in their own factory and would not do without them for many times their cost, they say. Others who are running them feel the same way, by all account. |
