1940s Automatic Hand-Saw Set [Restoration]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 тра 2017
- This tool restoration is of a BeMaCo Rapid Saw Set from the late 1940s. I was surprised to find that most parts were made out of aluminum. This thing must have been pricey back then!
It really needed a good cleaning and some de-rusting on the steel parts. The electric motor needed to be rewired and I wish I had time to replace the original wiring, but it is now in original dangerous condition and I'll fix it when I find the foot pedal power switch. I like the trip-hammer action and I wish it came with the original foot pedal, as that would have made operating this saw set much easier.
I hope that someone can find the manual as I was taking a guess at how this machine works.
The parts cleaned up very nicely and I am glad to have these machine in case I need it.
Thank you to Evapo-rust for sponsoring this video!

I feel like most of this started from him filming himself taking apart complex things to use as a reassembly guide, and is now just a good relaxation tool.
A lot of times when I watch restoration videos I turn the play speed up, but you've done that for us, so it all seems interesting to watch. With over half a million views on a gummed-up saw-set restoration, I'd say your editing choices are as sound as your mechanical knowledge. Also appreciate the odd bit of humor. Very well done, thanks.
Unless your an epileptic.
Taking things apart is one thing but knowing how to reassemble is a gift.
The pure geniusness and craftsmanship in those days is imply amazing.
It's amazing what you can find under years of rust, grease and and other gunk. Great video again!
Man there's nothing better than waking up on a day off and finding a new HTR video to watch! Keep up the good work man, I love watching what you do!
Love watching your videos. There's something about your silent presentation, sped up, with just the sounds of the work being done. Your attention to detail and mechanical ability is awesome. I also love seeing these old tools put together and working just like they did decades ago. The ingenuity the original fabricators had was really interesting.
I love watching this guy work....no music...no talking....just great.
I don't *need* a five gallon bucket of Evaporust, but I really want one now.
+Matthew Buntyn Haha, the larger containers come with their own handy basket!
Hand Tool Rescue
Her: "Why did you buy that much Evaporust?"
Me: "This one comes with its own basket."
Her: "No more trips to the store without me."
I'm on that same level, except I need a lake of it so I can de-rust my car.
a good fact to know thanks for that
Found a gallon at hf last year...love that stuff...
Congrats on the sponsorship! I bought a gallon of Evapo-rust because I'd seen you use it and get amazing results in so many videos. I'm going to start in on restoring my small collection hand planes when my gallon arrives on monday.
I'm visiting my family farm for my birthday, looking for more of my great-grandfather's handsaws to salvage some brass nuts. My dad asks me, "What's that machine in the corner?" I about crapped my pants because this sawset was sitting there. The motor still works, and it has the foot pedal.
Thanks SO much for restoring one. Now I can follow along restore your own sawset 👍
A man I give SOO much love on every restoration you do! I tried today on two small projects, all I could think was damn, hand tool rescue may have a tool to rescue a man! Thanks for the videos!
congratulations on the sponsorship ! Keep doing your thing mate
Thank you! It's been a fun experience.
soon as i saw that evaporust logo, i got excited for Mr HTR. i knew he wanted that. now you need to find the rustiest tools that exist. find some that were at the bottom of a lake for a hundred years and plop em in the can. :)
Hand Tool Rescue what dose it do or what is it for ? if you don't mind me asking? love this am a subscriber 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Juan Smit When you sharpen a saw. you then have to "set" the teeth so that one bends a bit to the left, and the next one a bit to the right. This makes the kerf (cut) wide enough that the rest of the saw blade doesn't bind up while sawing.
+Jim Fortune oh I see thank you very much as I never seen one of those before . Thank you for your time.
Not sure which is scarier - the dirty nonfunctional version at the beginning, or the sleek shiny hammer torture device at the end.
Totally
Nothing better than rewatching these videos to fall asleep too multiple times cause i fell asleep halfway through it multiple times
This channel is like HowToBasic but with tools and no broken eggs.
Hand Tool Rescue you have done it again. bloody well done brother. that thing had heaps of little parts on it. it looks amazing mate. very cool invention indeed. keep up the great work. you need to teach one of your own offspring your knowledge so to keep your rescue going on down the generations now, as your legacy to tools all over the world. take care buddy.
Thanks! You are all my children now, haha.
Hand Tool Rescue teach us, papa!
There is no way I could ever get that thing back together.
I have a feeling thats the only reason he videos. haha
+John Wright He must somehow play his video in reverse when it comes time to reassemble.
John Silver lmao, that's exactly what I was thinking
Theres no way I could have taken it apart!
It has more parts than I could have imagined.
Okay... hats off to people like you that can take things like this apart, restore and put it back together again. I would have to take an asston of pictures of each piece, take HOURS of time and be very conflustered. Well done sir.
This video kept popping up in my recommendations. Kept putting it off. Glad I decided to look at it. Entertaining. Plus love the hand gesture when you saw the electrical tape over the wires, hilarious.
Вот эта автоматическая механическая Разводка для пил меня неподдельно УДИВИЛА, своим вообще существованием!!! :))))
Als Sap тоже с интересом посмотрел.
Меня тоже друг мой 😀😁😂
Так это кто-то придумал и создал! Во мозги работают!
Опять какая то адовая машина 👍😄
Самая большая машинка по распилу бюджета находится в кремле, двадцать лет назад как включили до сих пор пилит без остановки....
2/30 HP. What a rating! I am rehabbing a handmade 6x48 belt sander this weekend. I love old tools. I have your channel set to annotate new content - the rest I search for. Keep it up!
This machine is so darn cool. I like the time when every task has a physical, mechanical solution.
This is most amazing, what i admire the most is the fact you get to remember how to reassemble the machines afterwards piece by piece and also you get to remember where everything goes. Remarkable indeed.
cover the old wires with shrinking tube.
Not the best option, but better than leaving them the way they are now.
Anyway, good job at restoring the machine!
Naod08 that's basically what I was thinking. instead of wire nuts use clamp tubes, and 3 peaces of shrink tube. 1 each to cover the individual wires and one to cover all the wires...
I plan to rewire it all when I find the original foot pedal power switch.
A lot of old and recent sewing machines used these, one of those would work if you can't find an original one.
Even cheapo electrical tape from the dollar store would be better than that wiring nightmare.
@@HandToolRescue oh! I bet it is a variable speed thing too, right? Nice vid. I’ve followed you for a while now but this old one popped up today.
Your awesome dude. Love these vids.
I came across your channel around 1am. It's 3am already and I'm still watching. This is surprisingly reverting. I'm fascinated by your work which is the reason I just subscribed. Keep it up.
Thank you and welcome!
I always marvel at the engineering that went into building these types of machines ,and love the fact that people like yourself take the time and effort to “save them”. Great video ,thanks for sharing.
Now you have VapoRust sponsorship you can rebuild a Chevy! Love the videos man, I have a few old drills I will restore when I get around to it. Lovely old metal case ones, they'll come up a treat, one is massive, it must have been from someone making trusses or something it's so heavy duty.
Lol I got that joke a little too late.
MotörHeavyRockHead Ford fan I guess
I would love to see a vid on your collection!
They dont make tools like these anymore nowadays.... what a shame
Good job working that tool back to its former glory!
The sounds, the visuals, these are mesmerizing. Reminds me of watching my grandpa tinker around in his garage.
You inspired me to tackle the 1911 Singer leather patcher rusting in our garden! Maybe a bit ambitious as a first project, but this thing was already there :D
Sadly Evapo Rust is hard to geht in Europe, but great they sponsore the right guy!!
Thanks for your awesome videos :)
Would love to see that!
if anythign send to him to repair :)
Dude that came out so nice!! Congrats on the sponsor!!
Thanks Mike!
OMG that is so slick. I love watching these videos. A couple of years ago my son-in-law gave me an old machine for under cutting the mica where the brushes ride on a motor. It's so funny, one day while at his dentist they were chatting about old tools and his dentist asked if he wanted the old device. Sure enough he just knew a guy that likes that stuff. It was a challenge, but was fun restoring. I haven't used it yet, but if the time comes I will be ready. It was quality made just like the tool in your video, which is why it's still around. I too would love to see you restore the electrical components of that device, but I understand that gets to be a challenge. Thanks for all you do and sharing with us old guys, well me anyway 79 and counting.
Restorations are addictive! Glad you liked it.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for not scraping that down with steel when you were cleaning the gunk off!
finding an original foot pedal may be very hard, but I bet you could easily find an older Singer Sewing machine pedal and repurpose it for this saw set and it would work perfectly for what you wish it to do. I have rebuilt sewing machines from the 40's and 50's and you can often find an orphaned foot pedal looking for a new home for next to nothing.
so fix your wiring to make it safe and give a lost foot pedal a new home.
as always enjoyed your video and keep saving old tools.
I hope to find it so I can call this one done.
Ross Have you made any videos of your rebuilds or do you know of other quality videos of rebuilding a sewing machine I ask because I have one I am thinking of restoring thanks
I did not video but I took lots of pictures and recomend that you do. also lable all your screws because none are standard and are hard to replace. Both of the ones I did are Singers, a 185j, that was a strait stich 3/4 machine and the other a 401a, that has a cam stack and does fancy stitiches. both were fun and there are videos out there the you can find. Most important is to find a copy of the adjusters manual so you can make sure that the timing and spacing are set up correct.
that was all just dirt? i thought the thing was painted black!
I really need to fix my pressure washer!
Maybe that could be the next video lol.
Hand Tool Rescue how old is it lol
Azathoth43 good idea!
Simply beautiful. Great workmanship. I love seeing the old come back to life. Thank you.
Quite literally bought Evapo-Rust because of this channel (needed to clean up some old chisels belonging to my grandfather), good recommendation man.
I was thinking the same thing about the Aluminum until I realized this was probably made in '45 or later, by this time war production had the U.S. drowning in steel and aluminum, probably close to the same in Canada (by the end of '45 the U.S. had more steel and aluminum than it could use, and that's not counting all the war scrap returning from Europe and Asia. The U.S. also owned 2/3rds of the worlds Gold by this time, I sure would like to know where it all went).
Do you mean it not in Ft Knox :-(
@@phill903 probably is. U live in Kentucky
No there is no gold in Ft Knox since 1973 when Richard Nixon change the gold standard, and sold all the gold out of Ft Knox...
Come on you Americans , it is not Aluminum , it is Aluminium. scienceblogs.com/worldsfair/2009/04/08/aluminum-versus-aluminium-wher
@@phill903 most isn't it ft. Knox anymore. It's in New York
Nice restoration!:) Would be good to use a proper crimped earth terminal though with a saw cut washer (or whatever they are called on English) :) And you could cover the stator wires with glassfibre tubing with sillicone insulation. They are heat resistant also, and look really tidy and gives it a extra layer of insulation:) Keep up the nice work!:)
It is so good to see a man working with his hands, without the girly rubber gloves! If you can't feel the parts and their grime, what is the point! Well done!
Now I see why the foot pedal: To avoid unnecessary wear'n'tear on the hammering tip. Great restoration job on bringing this apparatus back to life! You really have given it a lot of dedication!
What's the likelihood that you might do a refurbish of old electric motors? I would love to see a proper restoration of a 30's-40's electric motor from non-working to working.
re-warping windings is easy, just takes a fuckton of math beforehand, and time to actually hand wrap the windings.
That would be a fun challenge.
But does the motor ALWAYS have to be re-wound? @VideosUnrelated
A little shrink wrap on the wires, and this motor would have been good to go.
Unless I'm mistaken, a Fuckton of math and easy aren't normally in the same sentence.
Very rarely do they need to be rewound, you need to be able to solder, and you need you just take your time and replace one wire at a time, 14 THHN works fine. The guys at the local motor shop sold me some small quantities of the string you use to tie up the wires.
I don't know if these links will work.
This is about the worst motor I've ever brought back from the great beyond.

The bird part made me laugh harder then I should of. Lmfao.
Haha, glad you liked that.
should have*
Bird? I thought that was MaryAnne from Brooklyn?
than I should have. lol
Fark...fark... fark...fark....
Your clearly a genius, how you put that back together was mind boggling. When you pulled all those little bits and pieces from the rust remover, well just astounding how you did it 👍
As a former employee in a woodworking shop, I would have paid ANYTHING for a device like this. Having a machine to do a job that no one wants to do would have been incredible! Based on the sheer number of precision parts and placements I'm willing to bet it probably cost a pretty penny back in the day! Thanks again for another great video!
Are the wires exposed inside the motor?
Does it do every other tooth, then you run it back the other way to get the kerf on the teeth it skips?
Yes.
Is it adjustable for different teeth per inch?
Mukinrestak I think that was the slider adjustment he was playing with on the back of the machine.
I could seriously do with one of those! Your resto work stirs the Scots/English race memory in me, I follow the adage, "Ye can fix it cheaper than buying another!"
You manage to put these things back together without any "leftover" pieces. Very impressive!
Hey im kinda new to your channel,
Im just wondering whats in the the blue spray bottle is that wd-40 or pb blaster? Or something else
+Corey C Just penetrating oil. Anything will do.
when is the jimmy diresta gas powered drill video coming out
Maybe the next video?
Hand Tool Rescue i really love the videos it gives me immense satisfaction to see someone fixing tools instead of buying a new one
i can honestly agree with that.
I love seeing the old gas powered tools so amazing! saw someone build a gas powered rotary tool with a .8cc engine
Hand Tool Rescue Yeaaah!!! Awesome collaboration will be epic
the king of restoration...
Truly, your restoration is a work of art.
its a bird, its a plane, no it is an AUTOMATIC HAND-SAW SET FROM THE 1940s!
how do you keep all the parts in the right order and fitting right?
Best to take lots of pics as you go
George Leake Or a video :)
God bless the cellphones with camera.
I inherited my grandfather Beaver planner a couple years ago. The Beast, as it is known in the family, still proudly bear its original open double cutter electrical switch. Keep up your good work.
This guy is incredible. How does he remember where everything goes? Learning a lot from you mate. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

You Sir are a Mechanical Artiste!
That cast aluminium came up beautiful. What`s more amazing to me is that someone sat down and thought, "Right, we need to design a machine to set saw teeth". I only wish as a joinery apprentice I`d known of such a contraption, I lost days manually setting teeth, but I still have the Spear and Jackson panel saw issued to me in 1987 and it`s still sharp.
I would rewrap those wires. That's a serious danger, lost a few motors to that. You can get cloth and old glue from eBay quite cheaply.
For belt you can use Singer sewing machine belts, they are round and will fit in the groove properly.
+aserta Good to know!
Um......I could take that gizmo apart, , fix the whuch-a ma-jigger, grease the thing-a-ma-jig, realign the what's-it with the doo-hicky, and have it thoroughly discombobulated in three shakes of a cats whisker..........
Lmaoooooooooooooo
What a sense of humor. Great show. Thanks.
Threw up in my mouth a little when i saw how many parts that tool is made of....wow....
nice job restoring....
What a difference! The machine looks like the manly version of a sewing machine, haha.
Marco Cinquini , What us unmanly about a sewing machine? If you need to make it sound better, to sooth your ego, just call it a fabric joiner. A man who can cook and sew only needs a woman for procreation.
I didn't mean it professionally, but the machine itself, as it is a more brute looking, different of the curves of the classic sewing machines. Also didn't said the sewing machine is a woman's worker machine, as there were much more men doing custom clothes, and also is much common as chefs, nor meant that women can't use tools to build or fix something. I have no problem with my ego, much less I pre-judge people by theirs characteristics, whatever combination they are.
Marco Cinquini guess I took "a manly version of a sewing machine" the wrong way. I apologise. I enjoy any tool, including a sewing machine, that can seperate or join materials apart or together.
No problems, it happens, just don't be so tough on a first reply. I also like old machinery, vehicles, tools, etc., as most of them don't have a limit in build quality(one of the reasons this channel has so many back to work), they may not have many features, but, there was a variety of them for specific jobs, like the one on the video.
what type of ratchet is that
It's a swivel-head ratchet.
Awesome tool. Love to see you restore old tools.
That is one amazing device, the guy that came up with that is a true genius. great video too.
this one seems a bit rushed compared to your others. i think it deserves a redo with rewire and paint ( I know, - I will go stand in the corner )
The world's most satisfying video.
Spray everything with penetrating oil. Very smart move Eric.
It is great that you can also put things back together.
Loved the way it flew off . Thats a lovely bit of kit and a beautiful job
Extremely sophisticated and hardworking tool. very admire you
I am Vietnamese
This brings peace to my mind! Wonderful
You so lucky to find such a neat machine to restore.
Another awesome video to teach a throw away society things can be saved.
What a ingenious creation. Imagine the time it must've taken to make this without computer models. And for such a simple purpose.
you make a great job. thanks and all the best. i love, to restore old machines.
Such good stuff, my man. Keep it up! Makes me so happy when I get a notification that you've added another Lazarus Project. You're awesome. Thank you so much.
Boy was that dirty and the wiring, oh my! I’m always impressed that you can always get all those pieces back together!
What a beautiful restoration, well done! Such a complicated mechanism with so many parts for what is essentially a very simple task. I love it, it's beautiful.
Your love for these old machines shows through boss top job
This is pretty cool! I've recently inherited something similar to this, only older. After some quick research, I determined it to be a band saw set. It's all black, cast iron, with very few markings, and it is powered by a hand crank. Probably not going to do anything to it, as it appears to be in good contrition for its age (turn of the century).
Interesting to watch one of your older videos and see how clean your work table is!
Wow, that was incredibly satisfying to watch. Excellent job!
Amazing how this guy put everything back together again as if he had a blueprint in front of him!! that is deffinetly mind baffling while taking everything apart knowing that it has to go precisely back in the same way it all came out!! Excellent job performed!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I just found one of these at a scrappers for $20. Cleaned up nicely. Your motor housing is much cooler looking thought. Thanks for the vids.
Incredibly satisfying to watch! Wow. 👍
These videos relax me.
How can 197 people give the thumbs down on this video? I've been taking things apart since i was 8 years old but I'm still learning from others. Brilliant videos, well done!
This ain't two years ago but sure glad somebody took the time to repost your video...very much inspired me for a future project...thnkx
Absolutely love your videos. You seem to always find interesting pieces to work on! Your style of humor is a much appreciated addition that always cracks me up and I appreciate that you don't ever force jokes.
Thank you very much!
That was a complicated piece of kit. Good job getting that back together and working again. Nice video!
you are one smart man and what ever you do, you are the only one i watch on my laptop, keep up the great work, nancy may
One more stroke of genius!! These pieces are collector items!!
