Parkanson Power Hacksaw 45 angle cut
Have acquired a Parkanson PHS and want to cut some angle iron at 45 degrees. The vice allows this but the material doesn’t then fall within the blade stroke. Tried putting packing behind the angle iron to bring it within the cutting stroke but the material keeps coming loose. The saw cuts on the forward stroke and lifts on back stroke.
Suggestions please.
I am really happy with square cuts and have cut lots of square tube and solid square and round bar. I have put a new single phase motor in and am using a small electric fountain pump for coolant as the original was missing. Made a replacement motor cover and Have started repainting the machine green with Rustoleum but may start again with POV15 as I used it on an old lathe and am very impressed.

Hi and Welcome to a TOP FORUM.
When you pack the angle out, do you put a packer inside the angle, so that the angle is supported on both sides.
Would it be possible to take a pic of how you set it up to cut, PLEASE?
Just makes it easier to see how things are done rather that visualisation.

So that I could cut 45 degrees and 90 degrees, without having to reset the fixed jaw, I made a 45 degree block, that went up against the fixed jaw. You could do the same and pack it out enough to clear the back/front of the blade.

Don’t want to put this thread off track, but were Parkanson machinery made in Australia? Are their Power Hacksaws sought after?

Parkanson power hacksaws
They were made in Melbourne, I bought one so sought after by some. They are lovely machines especially in comparison with grinders and they don’t heat the metal as they cut it and are relatively quiet. Extremely heavy but they settle into a workshop and give it a certain gravitas. But back on thread, does anyone know how to make angle cuts with one of these dinosaurs?
cheers Peter

Can you get a pic of the right side of the saw and a pic of where the connecting rod attaches to the crank.

Photos on not working well may be inverted. I took these earlier before your post so not the crank.

We need pics of the crank arrangement, to ascertain if it's possible to alter the stroke.

Had a look at the crank can’t see any way of adjusting it.
