Looks very complete, no scrounging for missing parts. The shut off switch is easy to add. Even has a desert sunburn.

I have had my present one for about ten years. My first is in the last picture, which I foolishly sold upon moving.

Nice saw for smaller stuff. Uses a standard hacksaw blade. you have the usually lost moving vise half so you are better off than most folks.

Hi, does anybody knows how to adjust the feeding mechanism on the craftsman 180-1502 power hacksaw? Mine goes all the way down at once, if it’s cutting there is the arm weight on the blade at all times, not the best thing for the blade. I just acquired the machine. Thank you
Miguel

It is best to adjust them separately. Place a small disc magnet on top of one of the adjusting screws to back out the finger from the feed block. Position the hacksaw arm so it is on the return (forward) stroke, adjust the other finger so it just holds up the arm. Then put the magnet on the other adjusting bolt and do the same thing to the other one. Install the blade (backwards) and try it out without any material in the vise. It should walk its way down the feed block and cut properly.

This video will illustrate how the arm lifts up on the forwarward stroke.
