Not a good day today.
The magic smoke escaped from the motor condenser on the mini lathe, so I had to get a new one from the wizard The one he gave me was smaller in size but he said it had the same amount of smoke, anyway it worked OK Brian.

Luckily I did not have to work today. The day was spent driving the kids here and there and picking up my new to me power hack saw.

Ooh! I have hacksaw envy. Every time my Chinese bandsaw acts up, I think about getting one.

My only issue with power hacksaws is that they so quickly wear out the teeth on one end of the blade and you end up throwing out a blade with new teeth on the other end you can't use. At least a bandsaw uses every tooth! Mine is a "set it and forget it" with the hydraulic piston controlling the feed rate. Not so in vertical position of course, but 90% of its use is horizontal, just like the power hacksaw.

You can usually move the vice location to use fresh parts of the blade to avoid that issue

Most power hacksaws would (or should) have that feature with the vise. In your video the solid jaw appears to have been pinned and bolted. Is that so?
It may have alternate pin holes too, I just don't know. What I do know is that most users never bother to move it until the blade is worn so bad on one end that it won't cut, and they forgot it was their last blade.
