HF TUBE CUT OFF SAW

[Alton Slaughter]

Can anyone help me find the thread on the Harbor Freight Tube cut off saw that was adapted to cut pen tubes square.

I modified mine to more easily cut the length.

Lee thanks, this one was with pictures where he removed the hold down system and made his own. I find the original hold down is very sloppy and will not cut the tube straight, does that ring a bell ? Anyone have an idea on a better hold down method for this saw.

Thanks Gordon, all good info.

Hans, you hit the jackpot !

Thanks to all....................

Yeah. Thanks. That's a lot better than what I did. Having to deal with things on the left side of the blade is difficult.

Be very careful what you get at HF. I just picked up
one of their disc sanders to use to square my pen blanks.
The sanding disc has a wobble in it. It's going back wed.

You won my sincere appreciation

There stuff is mostly junk I paid $15.00 and will take a chance. If it falls apart maybe I can use some of the working parts. Sorry about the sander !!
