1. Restorations of old tools like this can allow them to last another 2 life times. 2. $1500 in my opinion would be a steal for such a beauty. 3. great job and you should be proud.

@RambunctiousHamster 3 года назад

I think cutting the rod in half, and then just welding an expansion section in the middle would have been easiest. But great job on everything!

@gm2407 3 года назад

Was thinking the same thing. But nice to see some other skills being used.

Machines like this that have any kind of history are worth fixing/restoring even if just for the posterity, this thing is looking amazing, and even if you never find the right original parts making do with what you have is always a good alternative as long as its made correctly and with quality, well done :D

@FearsomeWarrior 3 года назад

It is absolutely all how much you like the saw that matters. Now it’s just a matter of using it and deciding if the time and money was worth it for you. Time will tell. The paint job and metal finishes are beautiful.

@dzee9481 3 года назад

The Time you spent restoring a Table saw like that was worth your time and effort. You learned quite a bit and did a fantastic job in the restoration. This table saw you will not find anywhere. It will last you for decades. I think you will need to make sure you have aligned your blade and fence to the rails on the table top. The table saw restoration had made the table saw worth more than its original cost since you added safety features.

@idiotluggage 3 года назад

I think this was totally worth the restoration. This table saw is a sign of how things used to be made with quality. I really appreciate that you shared this experience with us.

If it hasn’t been suggested already, when making the insert, rather than routing a slot, just raise the saw blade through it whilst in place.. get a zero clearance insert then

@rkerr4059 3 года назад

He did it the safe way which is the right way. There's nothing holding down that insert plate to raise the blade through and that is not a safe cut.

@ADBBuild 3 года назад

@@rkerr4059 Typically you would clamp a scrap board on top of the insert to hold it down. It's very common to make zero clearance inserts this way and is perfectly safe.

Ek hoop dat u 'n oorspronklike skeermes kan vind, en miskien selfs 'n bypassende wiel vir u saag. Dankie dat u ons saamgeneem het op u reis, dit was baie lonend. BEAUTIFUL! Wonderful result, your faith that it was worth saving proved right. You should be quite proud of the end result. I hope you can find an original riving knife, and maybe even a matching wheel for your saw. Thanks for taking us along on your journey, it was very rewarding.

@johnfithian-franks8276 3 года назад

Hi, I think you have made an orange out of a prune. The paint looks professional and the new fence is great. The power cut off and safety buttons are a must on any saw. The only thing now is the riving knife and I am sure you will have one soon. A very well restored machine.

@alans1816 3 года назад

It looks great and runs very smoothly. That type of fence can work very well, but can also loosen up so it clamps down out of square. It's worth checking habitually, most easily by clamping alongside the miter slot, so you can feel that it's parallel. That's fast and accurate. You also adjust the blade to the miter slot of course.

@tympt1 3 года назад

Fantastic job! I bought the same saw here in Uk about 8 years ago for £400 and then spent another £400 restoring it. It is now priceless to me. I see that the fine adjuster is missing from your fence. I find it really useful but it cost me almost £100 to replace the worn out one. Mine was made in 1960 and still hS the same motor which is single phase, 240 volt. Still works like a dream. I modified one of my throat inserts to include a small splitter in lieu of a rising knife. It works very well. Good luck with your new toy. Regards Barry

Without a doubt this was worth restoration, tools like this are much better made than what is being offer these days.I've restored several power tools myself and the quality was much better than the "Made in China" ones we see today. Ballpark value of this if sold in Canada would be around $2000-$2500 CAD

@TigerCarpenter 3 года назад

you did a great job. the saw looks great and performs very well too. obviously if you asked me, I would get the new one (lol) I actually designed and prototyped my own cast iron table saw, which is like a morph between Charwood and Harvey sliding table saw.. I designed my own table saw because me and my brother are engineers who run the tools factory.. I already had DeWalt cordless table saw, which is very good and precise one but the table top is aluminum, and I was always missing on using switchable magnet based jigs. because of the nature of my projects, I find the sliding table saws the best. it eliminates the need for the sled and much more. cross cutting of large pieces of the material is a breeze. I like to make furniture from the very thick slabs, thick leg posts, and my DeWalt table saw was always limiting my maximum cutting thickness. this time, my own design table saw features 3000W 12 inch blade capacity with 32mm dado ready arbor. anyway I got carried away with my table saw, that's how excited I am about it. once again: your restoration result is awesome man!

@Mogalize 2 года назад

I just did a similar cabinet saw. A Rockwell 34-450. Before I got it, it looked worse then yours did. Major surface rust, paint, dirt. (Barn find) Stripped it all down to bare metal and reworked the entire machine. I picked it up for $300cnd, and put about $200 into it. Other ruff looking cabinet saws are going for $1600-1800 in the area now. So for an investment point of view, for me, worth it 100%. But this is going to be my goto saw. Still not running yet, but oh so close! Excited!

All the best from the UK.

@billboy7390 3 года назад

Great job I've restored many machines over the years, the fence will do but an upgrade will will change your whole outlook on production a precision. I just restored an old Unisaw, and here in the states I found a new SawStop fence on Craigslist for $275 US (he replaced the fence with an Incra fence). I REALLY LIKED THE MOTOR BREAKING SYSTEM. Here in the US they are not required like some countries and with a dado stack it would help a lot.

@MrichardK 3 года назад

Great work. I love to see anything diverted from a landfill. You’ve done a beautiful restoration. One objection: Put a riving knife on that thing. It is absolutely a necessity, as it is the number one preventive measure for kick-back or lopping off a finger. They are simple and an extremely meaningful safety improvement. It is a MUST-HAVE safety feature. MUST MUST MUST!

Great job Jean. Looks great and works well apparently too. No idea of the saws monetary value but after the work you painstakingly put into the resto I would say it's priceless to you now and should last your lifetime for sure. If you want to have a zero clearance plate you could always route out enough clearance for the blade underneath and then finish the slot by raising the blade through the rest of the material, but by the looks of those test cuts it doesn't seem to be a problem for you at the moment.
