The overhauling of the UNIZ power hacksaw is finished and the saw is cutting steel again 😄. In the next picture you can see the new electrical controls that are working really smoothly:
Here I have another picture of the saw while cutting bar:
Work on the UNIZ 14" power hacksaw advances! Almost all the elements are now cleaned, adjusted ans painted again. Most of the parts are reassembled again ans the saw begins to show its best.
The saw comes without its singular switch. In some weeks we will begin the work with the electrical block. The main target will be to overhaul its electrical system using a more conventional micro-switch and relay scheme.
The work on the power hacksaw is slowly advancing. The saw was completely disassembled and cleaned. It was really dirty, full of chips and old grease. Just to show the state, look at the cutting fluid tank absolutely full of chips. The last owner shouldn’t be very proud of it…
After disassembling the general state observed is good enough for a maybe 50 or 60 years old saw. Most of sliding parts are well fitted.
feb 21 we have been in Juncosa (Les Garrigues) to buy an old Uniz power hacksaw. It is a model 1 Uniz saw of 14 in built in the Basque country around the 60’s. The saw is really sturdy with a weight of more than 300 kg. It was kindly transported by my brother Jordi.
I left here a couple of pictures of the machine just arrived:
