Hi all,

I’ve just purchased a lovely 4″ Wellsaw power hacksaw. Tried it out tonight and it cut through a piece of round bar beautifully, but once through the bar it drops with a bang the last distance and then cuts out. I haven’t ever used a power hacksaw before, so I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that the little oil filled well is a damper, causing the arm to drop slowly. Mine drops at what seems to be an un-damped speed. Is that correct? If it’s not, does anyone have any info on how to set these things up properly?
