L.C. Miller’s air-powered hacksaw, the Tigair, offers all the quick-cutting convenience of a reciprocating saw, without some of the recip saw’s shortcomings. For instance, it won’t get damaged if it bogs down; it makes fine burr-free cuts with a common hacksaw blade; and you can even operate it underwater or in flammable environments.
At about 2″ wide, 6″ tall, and 16″ long, the Tigair packs a lot of power in a small package — it runs at speeds up to 1,200 spm. It cuts with standard high-speed hacksaw blades or modified reciprocating saw blades, and it weighs about 5-1/2 lbs, so you can maneuver it easily, even one-handed. The Tigair requires 6-1/2 cfm at about 90psi, so you can power it with a moderately sized air compressor. L.C. Miller doesn’t list a price, but if you’re interested you can request a quote.

Never got a chance to use it – but was on a jobsite where a Fein Pneumatic hacksaw was making good progress on cutting really large pipe. 6 inch is my limit – so I don’t need to worry about shopping for a good price on this Fein Tool. We do like our Fein vacuums.

Ooh, can you say James Bond film product placement? Surely it’s time for another assault on an underwater lair!
Miller is not only into rescue tools but is one of the vendors who does electro-discharge-machining. When you have a bolt really stuck in your bridge or power plant – edm sure beats trying WD4 or CocaCola.
this machines looks like a Uk machine Cengar JP905. Is it?
