My hacksaw is adjustable for 4 different lengths.

What is the quality of the 10 inch ? and how much ?

I run 3 different hacksaws at the moment - different blades and one a carbide.
I even have a one hand / handle hacksaw.

I bought a lenox high tension hacksaw and couldn't be happier with it.
Made the crappy 10" harbor freight blades ( that I have a handful of
and can't bring myself to toss) cut like buddah. OK, not buddah but a
damn sight better than they functioned in the usual cheapshit
hacksaw. BTW the lenox is a 12" saw and I made a adapter that allowed
the smaller blades to fit and fully tension.The adapter was a piece of
steel with a hole drilled to fit on the blade post on one end and
another post to take up the shorter hacksaw mount hole. Took me longer
to think of the adapter than to make (that says a lot about my thought
processes- sigh). Pat

.

I like the high tension frames and use them most all of the time.

I also keep at least one adjustable frame around as I use screw
slotting blades on occasion, and they only come in 8" lengths. Pretty
handy blades, and they save having to set up the mill for just a few
screws.

I assume they have no set?
