Welcome!
sounds like you have good taste in tools! I have a Keller No 3 Hy-Duty, if you take a minute and set the stock up properly you can make some sweet straight cuts! I've found by impregnating the blade with tungsten carbide they last so much longer! I cut mostly solid steel, pic is of a 4 square tube for a English Wheel or the big engine stand.
oh the tungsten carbide is applied with a Rocklinizer, there are cheaper machines but the Rocklinizer can do it with so much more precision!

Oh well, Noooooooow you show up!   :cheesy:
 I had a power hacksaw I finally had to give up on.
  It was cute as a button too. Tittle tiny thing (on the power hacksaw scale).
But it was just too lightweight and rinky.  It was from the 60's.  An "artists conception" sculpture of a useful tool, sold at MW I think.
    I tried lots of different blades and different weights and rebuilt the carriage to take up slop. But it never did work.

   Maybe if I'd had some expert advise..............

 Welcome aboard! I am looking for another saw. Be nice to know what to look for this time.
    yours Scott
