First off, I am actually impressed by this little hacksaw. I cut quite a bit of steel today with no problems, for the most part. It was jumping a bit and it seemed like the clack that was there was worse than usual.
Well, I did start looking at my machine a bit more today. I opened up the gear box and found a good portion of grease, which got scooped out. I thought the clack was coming from the eccentric arm due to it having set screws which were backing out. Anyways:
So I have some questions and would appreciate any help.
1. The oil slinger in my gear box is missing. Does anyone know what it might look like?
2. I have some pretty terrible grooves in my reciprocating arm, where it looks like it has been run uneven for quite some time. Can I flycut that arm to restore it's geometry?
3. Does anyone have any good pictures of the cam and lobe and the adjustable pin? Mine was broken and I think they tried welding it and then they set screw it with pins into the end of the crank.
Again, thank you for any help.
