Junior hack saw vs hack saw

Junior hack saw vs hack saw

Postby 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.

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

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
