Axminster SIEG G1 Powered Hacksaw

This is a simple and very robust bench top power hacksaw for general metal cutting duties. Using easy to change, standard 300 x 25 x 1.2mm blades, the machine will cut material up to 130mm in diameter at 170 Strokes/min. It is ideal for general small fabrication and stock sizing in a small workshop, or material preparation in the technician's store in schools. The stock is clamped in tall, rugged vice jaws via a quick release lead screw and handle; the vice rotates for angle cutting up to 45°. A repeat length stop is provided. A gas strut eases the weight of the cutting arm, which has a large hand grip at the end with a latch to hold it in place in the open position. The 250W induction motor has a direct drive gear system that is fully sealed and the whole slide mechanism is fully guarded to prevent swarf ingress. An auto stop switch for when the cut is finished completes the picture.
