Thanks for the response. I'm gonna try to swing the extra $ for that bigger Reed 105. I'll keep ya all posted

Funny you mention that. I went to go look at that Morgan today and the guy is kinda jerking me around. I've had my eyes on that Reed with the stand and have actually been conversing with him. Seems like a solid guy. He has owned it for 30 years. I'm gonna offer him $175. So that's a decent deal?

Haha. I broke the swivel mechanism on it. However I MAY have been reefing on it a bit hard. So that is why Im looking at vises with a solid mount base and no swivel.

Ok, thanks 1982fxr. Yea, hard to see any hairline cracks or any cracks for that matter under the paint. I have tomorrow off, may go take a closer look at it. He is only aboutr 20 min from my location.

Hey lilredex, thanks for that link. Those are some pretty good deals on blades!! I found some Starrett red stripe on Ebay, a pack of 3 RS300-10 for $19.99 + $15.00 shipping. A little more than I wanted to spend, but 3 blades should last me a LONG time, as I don't do a ton of cutting:)

Thanks everyone for the replies. The oil you are referring to, is that to be put into the little oil cups in various places on the machine, or to oil the blade while cutting? Im really new to this whole power hacksaw thing. HaHa

Ok, thanks for the replies. Ill check with Starrett. Thanks again

Hello, newbie here. I just picked this Keller power hacksaw up from a old fella for $90. My first question is, was that a decent deal? 2nd question is does anyone know how old this machine might be? The gentleman that I got it from did not know, just said that he has owned it for many years. The...
