Marvel Drawcut #2 Power Hacksaw

[@diceryuri]

thanks for sharing! this is super neat. i have the chance to buy one, i think i probably will after seeing how simple and effective it is

[@tommydeadwood]

What a treasure! I’m so glad it’s still in a shop doing work and not in an antique store collecting dust. Love how it sounds and the kill switch is awesome, thanks for sharing!

Cool! I have one just like it. Running mine with a 3/4 hp 3 phase motor with a vfd. Need to make a way smaller flat belt pulley as I have to run it at 20 hz which makes the motor run a little warm.

I have the Drawcut # 1 . Mine came factory with electric motor.

[@jacobe1942]

can you do a diagonal cut by undoing the furthest out bolt on the vise, or would that put too much strain on the first bolt?

[@steveblancard5566]

I dont know, never tried it. It is really designed just to cut at 90 degrees. It does that very well.

[@jacobe1942]

I was holding out for a portable keller, but have an opportunity for one of these too.

U need felt in the square bar oil reservoirs ans fill with oil, felt lets it wick to the surfaces as needed. U got a extra lifting rack wedge to raise and lower the cutting bar? mine s missing. good luck withur projects.

Thanks, I didn't realize wicks go in there, but it makes sense. Sorry, I have no extra parts except blades.

[@daviddrum6700]

I have one I am now restoring. It is missing the start/stop handle. Has anyone see spare parts for these machines?

[@steveblancard5566]

Not that I know of. Maybe check ebay.

[@rickmilam]

Can you run it with a hit and miss engine too?

[@steveblancard5566]

Yes, I'd just need to remove the belt to the electric motor, then attach the leather belt to the hit/miss engine.
