Default Wanted Donkey / Powered Hacksaw

Anyone have an old Powered hacksaw they have at the back of a workshop taking up space?

Have to admit that's one of the more interesting thread titles I've seen... and yes, I had to Google it to find out what Dezzy was talking about.

The best ones are the old 3 phase cast iron ones, they last forever

Agreed, would love one of those big Ajax or similar, however I don't have 3 phase, an overhead crane or the space for one of those bad boys.

I’ve got 3 phase so you could buy the saw and I’ll keep it here for you and you can use it whenever you want...

It's such a tempting offer, and I don't want to sound rude but I think by the time I've driven 18 hours to yours and back I could have made the cut with a junior hacksaw. Unless you fancy running a fly lead from you 3 phase supply to me?

Couldn't you use a single to 3 phase inverter?

(I have no solution to offer for the lack of space and/or crane unfortunately).

Also, if the latter is a problem, the former are quite cheap, apparently. Plus they don't require 3 phase:

I didn't know you could get a 3 phase inverter, hmmm

And I'm not having one of those smelly, flee bitten nags in my swamp!
