BugBear =============== I don't know anything about the original but it sounds very much like a modern bandsaw. Have a look at this: http://www.machinemart.co.uk/product.asp?p=060710025 This uses a 1/2" wide hacksaw-type blade welded into a continuous loop. Cic. |

Is this a hand or power tool ? The only one I remember was a sort of
adjustable length padsaw with hacksaw blades. AFAIR, it had some sort of sliding arrangement to support the blade right up against the cut, despite being a frameless blade holder. |

BugBear Does it have a pistol grip at one end, a central spine and a blade retainer at the other?- if so I think I have one, it was in my dad's tools and I've been trying to find out what it is.
