Grandfather mounted one to an old tredle sewing machine. Don't know if Blue Ox Millworks is still in operation, he had rescued a bunch of 19th century machines from the days of the Victorian age logging in northern California. Including a pedal operated table router, he only had one bit, a round over but it was pretty easy to operate. Lol, he also had the scariest machine I've ever seen, a 40 foot bed lathe with a four foot swing for turning the pillars of the " Butter Fat Palaces". Almost everything had been steam driven. Located in eureka California.

Yes we all love this ! Several of us are saying too that you should get an old sewing machine table with a treadle. Bolt the saw to the table, and power it by foot power so that you can use both hands to control the wood. Bolting it down anyway is going to stop the saw base from lifting up and down as the handle is turned. The blade looks to me to be the same length as what we call in the UK a Junior hacksaw or fretsaw blade - 152 millimetres, or 6 inches in Imperial. Yes a great machine ! We all want one ! Many of us want to you bolt it to a treadle table - so go to it ! Thanks !

What a wonderful tool. :) The bladesize looks like it's the same as many of those used in coping saws, so you might be able to get a cheap blade for it. I might want to make a wooden one. It'll be simpler but still a vertical motion. The point where I want to make it simpler, is where it converts the circular motion to a linear motion. Having a 'dovetail' or 'T-slot' might sometimes lock. -So instead I'll go for the "locomotive approach" and have a couple of vertical sleds. ... As many others suggest, you can easily add a DC-motor (maybe even battery powered or solar powered) to drive it. I'd estimate that a 12V/3A will be more than enough, but you can find fairly strong 12V motors on eBay all the way up to 13A for less than $12. If you do this, remember to take a good look at the size of the axle; at least 5mm, preferrably 8mm or 10mm diameter and at least 20mm in length.

@@WoodByWright It would be secured against pitching in the open (unclamped) axis without needing to put so much pressure onto the cast iron base. As well you could secure it to the bench with a pair of handscrew clamps or put it in the other vise if you have something secured in that one. A situation for that would be if you're cutting a piece (dovetail, inlay, etc) to fit on a different piece and would rather have the larger one held in the vise instead of taking up bench space. Having it mounted in the leg vise constantly also means you'll be more likely to use it as it's already set up, while also making it easy to remove if you need the space. Same thing people do with machinist vises :)
