Wow what a great tool maker tour. It makes me happy there is at least one manufacturer still here in the USA. Thanks for bringing us along Matt

@frankmakes 9 лет назад

Wow, I'm drooling. Thanks for putting this together Matt.

@j.hankinsckd6858 Год назад

Thanks for the shop tour. I own two Northfield shapers, one 35+ years "young" (7.5 HP) and one 80+ years old (3 HP). Solid machines. The factory people are very helpful and friendly.

Where pride in your work means something. Thank you for staying home and thank you guys for making this video.

@randallmccorquodale3290 3 года назад

I've been in the Woodworking Machinery business for 30 years and finally get to see inside the Northfield Factory. Thanks for posting.

@raymondcole537 6 лет назад

It was great seeing the only US woodworking machinery factory left. I am owner of a one man shop in Forest Hill, Maryland and I was lucky enough to buy a Northfield 12 HD Jointer used on Ebay from a local seller who delivered this Heavy machine to my shop. Jeff was very helpfull in telling me the history before I bought this machine and also made sure I had up to date safety stickers for it . This is a solid well made machine that will work for those who out live me!! Ray Cole- Custom Cabinetry & Fine Furniture LLC

WTG Mat. Thanks for taking the time to show us the reality of 'made in America.' Hat's off to Northfield for not selling out to the Chinese or anyone else.

@seanmacdonald5255 7 лет назад

In the late 1970's I lived in Faribault (close to Northfield) and worked in a cabinet shop. They had a big Northfield Jointer and a Northfield Table Saw. Those were very solid and accurate equipment suitable for large production runs. They were heavily used every day and, like it mentioned in the video, never needed adjustment. I even made it to the factory once to get a replacement table saw fence. I'm old but I remember them being known as Northfield Foundry back then. The table saw was old enough that the drive belt was a flat one on the original line shaft pulley.

@AndrewKleinWW 9 лет назад

Great stuff, thanks for editing the video Matt, I had a great time on this trip!

@mcremona 9 лет назад

Andrew Klein Thank Andy! I hope we go back some day.

@lorakline6417 9 лет назад

Andrew Klein I live in Northfield, and although I have heard of this company, I had no Idea they were still making machines right in downtown. I had no idea you were also from around here Andrew. BTW, you spell you last name wrong! I am also a Kline, but spelled correctly:)

@RobertSmith-zn5zc 5 лет назад

That was incredible! I think it's pretty special to see something like that happening here in the US. Thanks Matt.

@mhaz49 9 лет назад

Brings back lots of memories of working in various machine shops.

@mcremona 9 лет назад

Mark Hazlewood Hopefully good memories :)

@AaronWeedC 9 лет назад

Thanks for making this video and touring the factory. I used to operate and maintain Northfield machines in a wood shop. Northfield and Oliver were the best woodworking machine brands I have ever used. I also used to own a Northfield 16" table saw; but sadly, life events got in the way and I had to sell it 20 years ago. I still miss it to this day and your video brought back good memories.

@mcremona 9 лет назад

Aaron Weed After visiting I really want to try some of their machines. I'm sure they are just amazing to use! Thanks Aaron!

@Merllynn1 7 лет назад

Wow what fantastic machines ! Thanks Mat for the chance to see them.

@rickycrews8414 6 лет назад

wow glad to find this . i just acquired an old 20" northfield band saw .its a beast i love it.

@MosquitoMade 2 года назад

I never saw this video until it popped up as a recommended. Super cool. Jeff is a great tour guide, and the facility is impressive. A tour here with a group from OWWM was the last thing I did before all the Covid lockdowns lol

@donaldplagge9675 6 лет назад

I used a Northfield tablesaw (12" blade I think) at Faribault, MN Vo-Tech Cabinet-Making / Carpentry classes during my 1971 to 1973 studies. It was a remarkable tool! Turn it on and it hummed rather quietly, no vibration or other noises, always accurate to my settings. Excellent, excellent tools!

@dnngskn62 8 лет назад

Wow. Those radial drill presses brought back memories. I spent countless days machining cast iron castings on machines much like these. Great tour.

@bxb590 6 лет назад

Man, this place reeks of quality. I need these machines.

@ninefingersgrapes 9 лет назад

Thanks for the show! I last comments on lack of adjustments was great. Nice to know that good engineering provide GREAT tools.

@mcremona 9 лет назад

Thanks for watching! I found that to be so profound. It was really not something I had ever thought of.

@sky4you2b 4 года назад

Thank you Matt , God Bless Northfields Woodworking Machinery .

@robertneitzke3550 9 лет назад

I've been in lust with Northfields jointers ever since I was in high school shop class in the mid-1970s. I took lots of shop classes, mostly woods related ... we had both a great shop teacher & very well equipped shop. The problem with that great video is that now the secret is out & lots more people will have their eye on the used Northfields when they come on to the market. Thanks for the nice tour & yes, that WAS Roger Ebert, in his new incarnation. :)

@mcremona 9 лет назад

I don't know if I'm that influential yet :) Thanks Robert!

@selta77 5 лет назад

Matt - Thanks for making this video - so nice to see these machines being built and the precision that goes into them.

@oysterjohn5669 6 лет назад

As a retired sawmill Saw Filer we used plumb bobs and strings to line 5,6,7 and 8 foot band wheels. A good way to double check after alignment, is to put a good band saw on, strain up the saw, rotate it forward 5-6 revs, take a measurement of the saw position, rotate backwards the same revs to see if the saw runs back or forwards. Adjust the tilt (or shim) until the saw tracks true when rotated in reverse.(Things line up differently when put under strain). On a lighter note I've poured babbit bearings and we had a name for the "Daming compound". We called it Bear Sh*t. An apt name after you roll a few "snakes" to use to dam up the bearing housing. I'm really impressed with the tooling that place has. Thanks for the tour.

@lorakline6417 9 лет назад

Thanks for the video Matt! I live in Northfield and I'm glad I got to see an inside view of that place!

@mcremona 9 лет назад

Jeff Kline You should swing by and say hi. See it in person ;)

@CatholicWoodworker 9 лет назад

Those are some amazing machines! I'd love to see them in action. Also glad to see American manufacturing isn't dead.

@mcremona 9 лет назад

Conrad Designs They're awesome in person just sitting there doing nothing haha! I too would love to see them at work.

@firstgeer 9 лет назад

I worked in a shop that had a Northfield planer and jointer, the best wood working machines ever made.

@WillyBemis 5 лет назад

Thank you Matt. I bought a Northfield 36" bandsaw that needs some TLC, and this inspired me to go back and take another look at what I have to do.

@mcremona 5 лет назад

nice! that's a dream saw!

@thomasutley 9 лет назад

Super video tour Matt! Thanks for putting this together and thanks to Northfield for letting you film!

@mcremona 9 лет назад

Thomas Utley It was really great of Northfield for taking us on the tour. Thanks for watching!

@billfromelma 9 лет назад

Hey Matt, first of all , the patio looks awesome. What a great blend of color and proportions. As for the tour, that was awesome! Its good to know that there is still something of quality made in the USA. Something to be said for high quality and customer service. Great video.

@mcremona 9 лет назад

billfromelma Thank you! Just about done with it. Northfield seems to have both those traits going.

@jhart7304 6 лет назад

Dude, thanks for this. I've been wondering if there were any manufacturers left here in the states. I wish I had the overhead to purchase an entire line of solely their machinery. The fact you can call them with a serial number and they can tell you everything about it is amazing and speaks volumes of the way things used to be. An 8" joiner that weighs half a ton? Yeah, I'll take it.

@mcremona 6 лет назад

Me too

@mcremona 9 лет назад

Bill Hantzopoulos Thanks Bill!

@hermancm 8 лет назад

For most of my life I lived 20 miles north of Northfield Minnesota and worked for a large school district in their maintenance department. I remember that Apple Valley HS had a large wood shop outfitted with late 70's vintage Northfield machinery including a 25" planer, cabinet table saw and shaper plus various sanders and other frills. The school still uses the wood shop and actually built a second shop across the hall geared more towards home building.

@brian2k1 9 лет назад

Thanks for posting this. Those machines look amazing and I appreciate they have stayed in the US all this time. Hopefully manufacturing and tool making will return to US now thanks to all the Maker's.

@mcremona 9 лет назад

Brian Boatright That would be great. Thanks for watching!

@MRrwmac 9 лет назад

Wow, great tour and soooo glad they are still in business. Don't need adjustments because they never go out of alignment! That's what American made was and wish it still did! There is a local woodworking "shared" shop near me (10k square ft or more) that has a few of those gigantic Northfield bandsaws. I think one had a 3" blade (could be wrong). Thanks for getting permission and also for doing the tour!

@mcremona 9 лет назад

MRrwmac I found it to be a pretty profound statement that really stuck with me. I wish I had the ceiling height for one of those :) Thanks Mac!

@oakleyjack7600 9 лет назад

Awesome that you guys got that tour !! Thanks Matt for sharing with the community. I would definitely wear titanium toed shoes and she'll if I worked there.

@mcremona 9 лет назад

The Turtle Carpenter Yeah, definitely! Don't wanna lose a toe...or foot! :D

@larrylund2682 5 лет назад

Matt's version of the Great Northfield Raid. Awesome shop. I have operated several of those radials and the Blanchard grinder. Conventional machine tools still make the world go around.

@craigmonteforte1478 6 лет назад

Fantastic tour Matt i liked it so much ive watched it a few times it is just so neat to see that type of shop in action and explained to you in detail Nortfeild is a true legend in my world

@missyd0g2 9 лет назад

@AdventuresInDIY 9 лет назад

The scale, craftsmanship and precision of the machinery they produce is truly impressive.

@mcremona 9 лет назад

@darbinorvar 9 лет назад

Great video Matt, so cool to see all the machines. Did you guys go on a Sunday when everybody was off work?

@mcremona 9 лет назад

We went on a Wednesday. They had just finished up an order and had shipped it out. Most of the workers were on vacation and it seemed like it was a maintenance day. Thanks Linn!

@alanblasczyk1779 2 года назад

Now that was cool. I wish you could have seen where I worked Matt, at GE Steam turbine in Schenechtady NY. Everything there was cololassal. I have never in my life been around engine lathes so massive in my life, let alone machining centers large enough to mill generator cases verticlally in one pass. It was utterly mind blowing.

@bzsawyer 4 года назад

Thank you for making this video show casing American Made equipment. It's guys like you and videos like this that can raise an awareness that can bring manufacturing of high quality equipment back to the US. Edwards Iron workers made in MN, Ellis metal band saws made in WI, TW90 belt grinders. All very high quality equipment made right here in the USA

@ericwilliams7374 3 года назад

Im from Covington KY ( northern Kentucky, just across the Ohio River, from Cincinnati Ohio). I remember when I was younger, the majority of the buildings in Down town Covington KY were machine shops of some sort. Also, the area of Down town Cincinnati Ohio, that is at the bottom of Price Hill, there were machine shops every where for a few miles in almost every direction. All of these shops are about gone, and or shutting down. The awesome machines that were in these shops, and the history behind them!!! I'll also say, the shop in this video, you could have putt 10 of them in just one shop that I'm talking about. None the less, the shop in this video, is somewhere, that I would love to work, if not just visit.

@stephengilligan5953 6 лет назад

Wow they're still building machines, I was a Patternmaker there in the 70's

@JohnLoganMcKee03 9 лет назад

I really loved this video. I like that bed planer.That's about the only piece of equipment I've never operated.

@mcremona 9 лет назад

John McKee Thanks! Pretty cool you've operated quite a bit of machinery since a bed planer is the only one left on the list.

@gregbrown1083 7 лет назад

Matt, good video, I worked in a machine shop that had a lot of the same machine tools. They sold it all recently at auction, most of that big old working machinery was sold for scrap, broken up and cut apart with torches, very sad. Thanks for showing an American machinery builder still doing it right. Good luck and work safe, don't strain anything milling those big logs. Greg B.

@craigpereira6381 9 лет назад

Very cool. That is just amazing to see a factory like that.

@mcremona 9 лет назад

Thanks, Craig! It was an amazing experience. Almost too much to take in.

@jeffmazur8037 9 лет назад

Matt, Shopsmith is still in business in the US. Admittedly, their machines are kind of odd compared to the mainstream equipment most are used to, but they are well-built and as far as I know still made totally in the USA.

@plymouth-hl20ton37 6 лет назад

@adamcaswell1924 7 лет назад

I wish I would have known you were coming, I live in Northfield! Nice vid Matt!

@nelsonmelamund1225 5 лет назад

Your point about the lack of adjustments rings back to the machine that came in for rebuild, it was only dirt that threw it out of alignment. Fascinating.

@68shiloh 4 года назад

I loved this video. Thanks Matt

@bocomoto 3 года назад

Phenomenal footage, and So well done-Wish i could sed this to friends who aren’t on Facebook.,thanks for doing this

@craxd1 8 лет назад

Those are medium-sized radial drills. I've ran them much larger. I've ran one of those Gray open-side planers too. You don't see those Gray planers anymore, but they are used to cut bed ways on things such as lathes, etc. Now, many use the large CNC profiling mills to machine them, or use prefabricated round ways, etc. I am glad that the company still makes machinery the old way, and that they're still in business.

@Garageworkshop 9 лет назад

So they are using that old school metal planer to flatten the bed of a jointer? That's amazing, I wish you could take a video of it actually planning something. Spectacular machines.

@mcremona 9 лет назад

Garage workshop The day we went there was sort of a maintenance day. They had just finished and shipped a large order so there wasn't much to see actually being made. Sounds like I'll have to go back :)

@charleslewis2862 9 лет назад

wonderful tour - only one machine would either go thru my floor or be the only thing I would have room to use. Its sad that so many of the other companies have gone overseas, but I guess that is in part due to manufacturing thousands of the same machine vs. Northfields one or two of any given model at a time. Go Northfield!!

@mcremona 9 лет назад

Charles Lewis It was really interesting to see their process. They don't make anything until someone places an order. They didn't have a warehouse full of completed machines. Pretty cool place. Thanks Charles!

Dear Santa. I've been a really, really good boy this year... Thanks for posting this, Matt! I'd also like to say thank you very much to Andy and Dema. It was an excellent idea for a tour. Props to you all for doing it. A special thanks to Jeff of Northfield for letting a bunch of RU-vid types (we all know how THOSE people are) invade the sanctum santorium for a few hours. You people obviously make awesome tools that are built to dish it out every day and just keep right on dishing. Thanks for doing what you do, and I hope you can keep doing it forever.

@Mike-uj1wr 9 лет назад

Oh, I want 3 or 4 of them and then I can spend the next 10 years getting enough courage to turn one one and then the next 10 trying to figure out how to run them. Haha -- great video. Matt, have you guys ever thought about doing a documentary? I bet you could make a good one!

@mcremona 9 лет назад

Mike 61 haha after visiting I really want to try some of their machines as well. Documentary would be fun :)

@krtwood 9 лет назад

You never know when you're going to need to drill a perfectly straight hole through the middle of an aircraft carrier, so it's best to have a giant drill press on hand just in case. That might take a while, so it's best to have another one next to it, just in case.

@mcremona 9 лет назад

krtwood Good point. You're good for those. :)

@wallyg333 9 лет назад

@dananelson3534 8 лет назад

Stumbled on your channel Matt, thanks for the tour. Wow, 3 thousandths of an inch in 8 feet. Worth every penny if you're running production. Like so many things made here in this country, the cost of labor makes it almost impossible to do business. Way too many homeless, unemployed here in Los Angeles.

@athiker7209 9 лет назад

We had a Short Stop Brake on our table saw at work, can't remember the size of the blade, thinking 15-20 inches. But we set the gain on the brake to stop the blade in about 12-15 seconds. On a 3 phase motor, reversing the phase creates heat in the windings, and when it gets hot, sometimes the timer will drop out before the blade is completely stopped, and then will continue to coast at a slow speed. But that was with a lot of starting and stopping.

@mcremona 9 лет назад

Ron Briz That's cool Ron. I had never seen a brake like that in person. It's pretty impressive.
