Hello to you all

[rinderpest]

Thanks for the link Lee, they look competitive with M-D for price although M-D sell by the 100mm so I was thinking of ordering lots of smallish bits and getting them with nice accurate 90 degree angles cut.
Mind you I just sourced a nice mains motor with a geared down output so I might (try and) make a Dexion framed automatic hacksaw, if my frame is straight and the skate bearing based blade guide works I should have a chance.
Reckon I'll need those wide or is it high blades. These ones anyway, normal big hacksaw blades are too twisty.

PS for some reason forums dont like ASCII art; there should be spaces in the middles but although they were there when writing they've gone when I post.
