Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

I wanted a good way to cut steel precisely for my next project (home built CNC router). I was looking at chop saws and looking at power hacksaws. Nothing seem viable to me price wise. Nor did it have my flair. I decided to build my own saw.

Here is the youmagine stl's.

Here is a video I made on the subject.

What do you guys think?

Clever do you have a link to the gear motor supplier ? the model you cite does not come up in an eBay search.

Thanks for the video!

Unfortunetly I cant seem to find the specs online for this motor. I will search some more when I get home and post the number as well as give a possible link to purchase it. I remember seeing it for sale @15usd or so refurbished. Which means used.

My motor came from who knows where. It has been in my toolbox for the better part of 5 years kicking around. At this point I don't remember where I got it.

That is a very cool project!

I might have to build one of these to get by without a metal band-saw. Very cool!

That was the idea. I wanted to get a chop saw, then decided to built this. Its working fairly well so far.

If you guys check out youmagine page on this. I finally found the model number for the motor. Its from an HP dot matrix printer from way back when. They can be had refurbed for 15-20usd.
