I did some searching for power hacksaw and came up with this.

And you know Popular Science had to get its say also.

Now my question is this. Has anyone built anything like this before on here and if so does it work well? I have alot of things to put together so I will not have a chance to do this one for some time. I still got to build a forge, get an anvil, power hammer built, disc grinder put together, and then maybe I can look at some steel to make a knife with. lol
 
You can pick up a Milwaukee Port-a-band for almost nothing at a pawn shop. HF sells their version cheap.too. I don't see why anyone would go to all that trouble and expense to make something that can be bought for less.I took a $5 (Yard sale) Port-a-band and mounted it upright, with a MDF cutting table and use it for cutting small items like pins, tangs,etc.
