Little story:
I worked for a co in Rancho Cucamonga back in the 90's. the shop had a
Racine power hacksaw, I gave the owner tons of shit for having
"an old piece of junk", we used it excusively for cutting D-2, had
more than a few laughs at his expense.

I now have the same saw, Circa 1950's, still cuts straight within .005
and square, not a real fast little dude,
but it sits there and just keeps cutting.

I think I paid about $100.00 for it 8 years ago.
One of these days, I'm gonna give him a call and have my overdue plate
of "crow".

"D"


Ayup..those are pretty nice saws if you keep em lubed and dont try to
hot rod em
