Hello
I am looking for some advice on repairing a casting on an old powered hacksaw. I dont want to weld it as I think this will distort the bearing surface where it runs on the cam. I dont know if it is cast iron or cast steel. I was thinking of trying to braze this as its will not distort. Can I braze cast material.
This is part of the blade desender, It uses a small hydraulic cylinder to lif the blade on the return stroke. The small cylinder was seized solid on inspection.
Any Ideas welcome - Many thanks and Regards Chris.
