New to me Denbigh Power Hacksaw

[southernchapParticipant @southernchap]

I just got myself a relic of the UK’s industrial past:

 

 

Tony doesn’t appear to have a manual for sale on his manuals section.  I’ll give him a bell on Monday on the off-chance, he just hasn’t got it listed.  So I was wondering if anyone on here might have a manual?

[Adrian R2Participant @adrianr2]

Can’t help with the manual I’m afraid but I will just say that’s a much more civilised thing to have in the workshop than the noisy bandsaws we were discussing recently. Ours went a long time ago to a chap to exhibit with his stationary engines but I have not seen it out for some years.

Hi Adrian,

Not sure if you are referring to the generic 6″ x 4″ bandsaws. My early Alpine badged one is super quiet. I did have a much larger industrial power hacksaw which was much noisier!

I’ve had one for several years; it works well, better after I made e new “big end” eccentric for the dashpot conrod.
Never found a manual though.

Apologies for not being present!

Thank you for the replies.  Sadly no leads for a manual then.

@peak4 what was the problem with the dashpot you found?  Is there something I need to look out for?

Nothing major, just badly worn on the eccentric bearing, do I made e new oversized one.

Ah, right.  Thank you.

I need to give it a good look over to make sure I understand the operation.
