[SEL] Power Hacksaw

[Bill Dickerson]

I was using mine to cut "rebar" at the Waukee show. Powered by a 2hp Alamo
"idling" along at a pretty slow speed.
I could measure my pulleys in a bit - I certainly would not run it faster
than I was doing.
Toughest part was keeping the belt from slipping on the uneven ground there
alignment wasn't easy but once going, it worked quite well and got a number
of remarks.

Yours looks like it's a step up in size from the one I powered with the
engine - looks closer in size to my 14" saw which is the same make/brand and
all, just the next model up.
It's powered with an electric motor about the size of a washing machine
motor.

Hi Guys
We have acquired a power hacksaw of unknown origin.
If you can identify it that would be great. If you could give us an idea of
what size engine would normally have been used to power it, even greater. If
you have an idea of the drive pulley size to power it at correct speed,
greater still.
