Little story: I worked for a co in Rancho Cucamonga back in the 90's. the shop had a Racine power hacksaw, I gave the owner tons of s*it for having "an old piece of junk", we used it excusively for cutting D-2, had more than a few laughs at his expense.
I now have the same saw, Circa 1950's, still cuts straight within .005 and square, not a real fast little dude, but it sits there and just keeps cutting.
I think I paid about $100.00 for it 8 years ago. One of these days, I'm gonna give him a call and have my overdue plate of "crow".
