Back in the 40s / early 50s I am sure that ME printed a series of articles on making a powered hacksaw, with details of how to fit it to a shaper, as well as how to fit to be driven by a lathe.

Have an idea that it catered for 6 inch blades!

I'm not really sure it needs any sort of plans. This is what I used in the days before I got the band saw. You are welcome to copy and improve on that :-

Ian Bradley's 'The Shaping Machine' contains drawings for a small and large hacksawing tool (pages 41 & 42). Rather smaller that that shown above.

The NEME-S website (http://www.neme-s.org/) has an online shaper reference section.

My shaper saw is very similar in design to Marks – but obviously smaller (uses Junior hacksaw blades) as it was designed to fit my Adept No2 hand shaper. It is rather slow but fairly accurate (whereas my free-hand sawing is faster but much less accurate). It only wanders if I am tempted to down-feed too fast, as the thin blades deflect quite easily. The advantage to using this saw is that very little clean-up is required.

Regards,

IanT
