Junior hack saw vs hack saw

by **99atlantic** » 23 Jan 2005 17:06

Is there any real advantage to making picks/wrenches out of hack saw blades, as opposed to junior hack saws? I find junior easier to work with because I don't have to make any pick blanks, I can just grab the dremel and start sawing away.

i find junior hacksaw blades alot weaker than the larger ones, but they are easier to work with. in the end i prefer plumbing snake as opposed to hacksaws of all variety.

i like regular hacksaws just because i can get 3 picks out of each and i if i wanna make somthin like auto jigglers i can make the handle legnth to my liking. then again i havnt tried using jr blades but why change somthing that works =)

i only like them for wrenches, they are simply too small for my mega sized hands

same here

(probably why i like them so much ) ...... i guess they arn't as cost effective, but oh well, i ordered about 100 hacksaws, 100 junior hack saws, so I have a lot of time to experiment with

Hey everyone

I prefer the junior hacksaw blades because they dont cost as much were i am and you do need to grind as much with them and it is really annoying buying grinding wheels for your rotary tool because they wear away so fast using them on regular hacksaw blades

probably because u arn't supposed to use a grinding rotary wheel on hack saw blades; need a grinding wheel.

I dont have one because i cant affored it so i use my rotary tool

maybe prices are different where you live, but $45CDN for a cheap grinding wheel vs $6cdn for a grinding attachment to a rotary tool....doesn't take too long ebcause the wheel becomes a better investment.

i think it would have been better if u bought an angle grinder or bench grinder because rotary tools cost more

bench grinder - min AU$30
angle grinder - min AU$15

these prices are from australian brands, ive seen them in bunnings warehouse, i own one of their angle grinders and it works great. The brand name is XU1

thats a lot of blades, how much did it cost you? and did they ask why?

by **skold** » 24 Jan 2005 18:13

Thet wouldn't of asked why, seing as engineering and fabricating firms order hundreds to thousands of them at once.

I will buy a bench grinder soon just when i have the money because i have to pay of my phone grrr.....
