[SEL] Power hacksaw speed

[bill at antique-engines.com]

Wow, a fellow list member helped me figure this out a while back for a saw
I have. I run it with a H&M engine and it is about right (wouldn't want it
faster, but it does a great job)
I don't have the messages handy, but he referenced one run from a
lineshaft as I recall.

Ran it by a Alamo 2hp engine and it cut rebar great for a demo.
