lathe mounted saw

I’ve used a saw on my lathe, surprisingly it doesn’t work anywhere near as well as you’d think. With the lathe running the teeth clog. The saw actually cuts faster using it with the lathe off. Maybe they solved that problem with larger teeth or more aggressive set.

Looks like a solution in search of a problem.

Looks like a parting tool you use from the top to me.

I tried using a handsaw to cut something while the lathe was turning …. ONCE !

Liked to dang near jerk my arm off !

You have to brace it against something. I used a saw I could brace against the tool rest. The goal being an extremely thin parting tool but the tiny teeth on thin blades clog up too quickly if the blade is spinning; or at least they did on mine.

I’ve used a saw a few times as well.. but they get pretty hot fairly quickly. And I’ve found that hacksaws seem to work a little bit better with less grab. Usually I just use them as Rick mentions, for a really thin parting… and I don’t go all the way through. Just close enough, then I cut it the rest of the way on the band saw.

Cheers,

Tried that as well, = not a good idea. Note to self: next time call a friend. ROFLMAO

-- Live to tell the stories, they sound better that way.

I take standard cork grips for a fishing rod and carefully cut them with a hacksaw blade while on a mandrel on the lathe. I measure what I cut out and replace it with something fancy.
Never tried wood- have a bandsaw and a TS for that.
