I was looking in the penn state catalog and I ran across a new item they have,,its called a lathe mounted saw and I was wandering if anyone had any experience with this saw,,its a new item and sold out but no reviews,,actually by looking at it it really seems like you could make your own using a hacksaw,,,any comments would help,,thank you |

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. -- Rick M, http://thewoodknack.blogspot.com/ |

Looks like a solution in search of a problem. -- Gerry -- "I don't plan to ever really grow up ... I'm just going to learn how to act in public!" |

Looks like a parting tool you use from the top to me. -- Kenny, SW VA, Go Hokies!!! |

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. -- Rick M, http://thewoodknack.blogspot.com/ |

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.

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. |
