Tom, if I had any idea how nice that Saw looks on camera. LOL Glad I found a good home for it. I know you told me you wanted to make a nice Mobile base for it but I had no idea you were going to go all out on it. Stay dry my friend. Gary
SWEET.. I have a 2002 F350 7.3L diesel 6spd manual 4x4 myself. Nearly 300k miles now. Amazing truck. The other day I was checking tire sizes on my door sticker and I just realized that it says "incomplete manufactured vehicle" --- so it was just a cab and chassis apparently. Which makes sense, because this thing is more like a tractor than it is a truck. I put a 9ft flatbed on it. (has the half- extended cab with suicide rear doors.. Supercab I think it's technically called). Everything on it is manual. Manual locking hubs, manual 4x4 on the floor. Trans is a ZF 6spd manual. Manual mirrors, seats, locks, windows.. and everything still works great. Has a rubber mat floor.. It doesn't even have tilt or cruise control. I drove it for a decade running my own construction company. Pretty incredible truck. I still think they were the best trucks ford ever made. The 7.3L is legendary.
That Unisaw is great. My dad has been using one continuously for about 40 years. The Biesemeyer fence will be way better - safer, faster and more accurate. Should only take 20-30 min to put on.
Hey Nick. One feature on the Delta fence is a fine pitch rack and pinion knob. It makes moving the fence tiny increments pretty easy. I wanted to try the delta fence first because mounting the Biesemeyer I have to drill and tap mounting holes. Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Tom
@@oxtoolco the fine adjust is a nice feature in theory. In my experience it always seemed to rack the fence slightly out of parallel with the blade. The biesemeyer rides so smoothly that it’s quite easy to make adjustments with a finely tuned fist bump, or use an indicator or shim stock to be more precise. And the biesemeyer stays 100% parallel, which is its main feature.
I carry a notebook almost everywhere I go nowadays. It started back when I had to start taking shift notes where I work. We would go from job to job in the factory and I was the lead mechanic so I had to keep track of everything we did to write work orders and fill out the shift notes. Since I have the memory of a goldfish and I hate asking people tons of questions I just started carrying a notebook and a pen. Write down what we did all day and not have to worry about remembering it all. Now that I'm a supervisor I have to take more in depth notes, it helps a lot when I can write down details while I'm talking to someone or finding out what's wrong with a machine.
Hey Tiny. Taking notes is a really powerful learning tool. The faintest pencil line beats the best memory every time. Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Tom
The material you made the zero clearance guard from is known as Tufnol, at least in the UK. Regarding the name Trico on one of the tool tags, they have manufactured car windscreen wiper components for over 100 years!
When I was pole vaulting we used friction tape on the pole for grip. To make it very sticky just before you jumped you dripped some lighter fluid on it and it gets really gooey. I believe it is impregnated with mastic.
Wonderful video and update!... and... Agreed on wood working tools! My dad sliced through four fingers (the hospital managed to get them back on, which was a miracle in the 70's) using a table saw. I have a wood saw - and it scares the hell out of me - I'm extra cautious with it. Same goes for angle grinder, btw, people usually underestimate that little monster... :)
Thank you Tom, that was 64 minutes well spent. As for the closing image with the thoughts from Brown & Sharpe of yester year, I may need to convert it into some garage art. Please keep up the good work.
Hey John. I can talk to my buddy Tom who makes metal machine tags and see what he can do. Might make a good fundraiser item. Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Tom
Hi Tom, that is a really good table saw. I have a newer version in my garage, and at work I used a Delta version with that same fence assembly. My garage saw has the Biesemeyer Fence system, you defiantly need to do the upgrade, what a better fence. It's nice that Meatloaf is back! Simply yummy!!
As long as you keep talking to your little black box I'll keep watching! Even better I get to learn and laugh almost every episode you post. Thank you for posting and taking us along for the ride Tom. Greetings from the Netherlands, Mark
Another awesome Meatloaf! 21:40 ... here's a Canadian Tool Tip for you ... boogered up Phillips screws can usually be removed with Robertson (square drive) screwdrivers. Phillips tend to strip towards a square shape ... Get yourself a set of 4 (yellow, green, red & black) ... a tap with a hammer to seat them and it's amazing how often they save the day when a reciprocating saw is not the answer. Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Edit .. I have actually seen and held a Center Mike before at a flea market .. but had no idea what it was or how to use it as there was no instruction page. Probably should have paid the $20 or 30 for it .. cool tool once you know what it is!
That Unisaw is the bomb! Heavy and made when they did it right. Push sticks are essential. Common sense also. You will be fine as long as you respect what you are are doing. The red link belts are a great upgrade, smooths out the power transfer. When you change fences, I will gladly take the original off of your hands, it’s at least twice better than my current POS that was included on my current saw. A Biesmeyer is the real deal, once setup you will appreciate quality engineering!
Just saying Hi! from the other side of your black box. The Brown and Sharpe note is fascinating - typed precisely 64 years before my birth, still resonates today. Can't help thinking repression could be a little unhealthy, but definitely true I, and a lot of people bellyache too much. There are a lot worse places in the world to be right now than where I am. Love your videos - the last hour flew by! Magnificent, absurd, wonderful, and 'can't switch off' stuff. Keep 'em coming!
Hi Tom, Great video (again!) We used to use friction tape on hockey sticks - wrapping both the shooting edge (to keep it from breaking) and the handle (for a better grip). I suppose at the time (probably 60 years ago) there wasn't anything better. Keep the videos coming! It's nice to have you back regularly!
Tom, great stuff as always! Back to in the knob and tube wiring days, when you made a connection, you twisted the wires together and soldered them. Then you wrapped the connection with self vulcanizing rubber tape for insulation, and finished with "friction" tape for protection against rubbing (or friction) on the connection. My dad learned this back around ww2, and swore by it. Total pain every time I had to redo anything he wired!
Hey Divide. Good solid advice from over a hundred years ago. I don't think we have learned that much on the humanity side. Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Tom
It occurs to me that the list of things you're *not* going to talk about in this particular Meatloaf could, potentially, be infinitely long. :-) :-) Thanks for hanging in, snowy cold man!
Excellent video Tom. I liked the wooden mystery box. Especially the paper work looking at a man's history. The black grip tape reminds me of an electrical tape my dad used 60 or more years ago. I guess long before the plastic type we have today. I remember very sticky on one side and horribly tacky on the outside. But a very good insulator and once in place a devil to get off. Keep up the good work Tom. Cheers nobbysworkshop
Woke up at 3:30 am, great I can watch the 1 hr ML, damn should have rolled over and slept!!!!!….Just kidding, it didn’t put me back to sleep and I ENJOYED!!! ….KOKO, stay warm/healthy
Trico is the trade name of the company that started out as the Tri Continental Corporation of Buffalo, NY. Over 100 years ago they invented the windshield wiper. Their products are still used by cars and other vehicles all over the world. Thanks for the video!
Tom, what I have found is that the most dangerous machine in my shop is the one I'm working on. Particularly if the machine or the operator is a dullard. Keep the great videos coming.
Tom this was a fun video, thanks for having us along. I think the M1 containers are example of current design orientation. The overall shapes were chosen for packaging these containers is shipping boxes, not with the end user in mind. The designs seems to me to have been driven primarily by how low can we get the production cost of these products and get them out the door? I wonder if these items were in fact designed by Starrett or if they contracted the packaging out? The funnel is IMO an item very much designed with the end user in mind. I'll bet if Starrett had had prototypes made and given to their own employees to use and evaluate consumers would have had a more user friendly item.
Hey Bill. If you want a fun read check out the story behind the WW2 German Jerry can. The effort they went through to minimize spillage and make shipping and handling optimal is fascinating. Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Tom
@@oxtoolco I have seen that video and it is a great story. I suppose in some general sense the M1 container represents what our society values. Much to consume at lowest possible cost, while still providing a profit for capital suppliers. The Jerry Can was made with quite different goals in mind. Here's an interesting quote by Barry Lopez that made me think of your Meatloaf on "expensive tools, "And if now I say out of respect for my hands I would buy only the finest tools, is that, too, not love.
Welcome to the order of wood chucks 🤣. Unisaws are great machines, the Biesemeyer fence is the way to go way better than the stock fence. You have some great viewers!
Hey Bill. You are among those great viewers! I have met more cool cats doing the UA-cam thing that I thought possible. It really is a great community. All the best. Tom
For screw clamp electrical connectors the recipe that I use is: Layer 1 vinyl tape (Scotch 33 by choice) wrapped sticky side out; Layer 2 self-vulcanizing tape (Scotch Liner type); Layer 3 Vinyl tape sticky side in to cover; Layer 4 Scotchkote tape dope; sometimes a fifth layer of vinyl tape. Each layer is extended 1/4 to 1/2 an inch beyond the previous layer. The reason for inverting the first layer of vinyl is so that when you open it up it is easy to remove all of the tape because it isn't stuck to the wire and fittings.
If you arent familiar with those unisaw fences, they have a habit of inconsistently locking down parallel to the blade, just check it out, see if yours is prone to doing that. Also riving knives are pretty cool. I mostly use the little things that you just stick in your mouth plate made by microjig. Just real convenient when taking a crosscut sled on and off. I imagine you already know that stuff but just in case.
Retrofitting a riving knife is definitely the thing to do - absolutely essential, I would think. I’ll always remember the video by the guy who wanted to demonstrate table saw kickback: he fully expected bad things to happen and still nearly took a few fingers off. And a fence that aligns itself parallel to the blade sounds terrifying as well. Apparently lots of people don’t even know that the fence is supposed to be off by a hair… definitely the scariest tool in most shops.
Unless there is a very specific need, I would NOT run a table saw without a riving knife. Probably the most important safety device on a table saw, short of the user himself.
Hey Mik, I suspect it does that now a bit based on how it behaves. I have a few things to get together on the Unisaw before I start using it extensively. A splitter or riving knife and a good sled are near the top of the list. Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Tom
Where I retired from the carpenter shop had an older Unisaw. The arbor and sheave were wore out. I made a new arbor or and sheave and re-assembled it. The wood munchers said it had never run so smooth (matched belts also). And quiet. So safety took it out if service. One of the carpenters got it as "scrap". IMO the Delta/Rockwell fence isn't worth a tinker's dam. We always called that phenolic Micarta. Keep the dust under control. Nasty stuff. We used it for isolating bearings in seam welding heads and plain bearings in pumps on coolant systems.
As a long time "woody" and table saw guy it's hard to go wrong with the Unisaw. I used many fences and owned several. The best and safest IMHO is Delta's unifence. Its high/low positioning is perfect to help guide thin ( sheets of wood or non ferrous ) or cut heavy dados from thick wood. As an aside Nothing controls wood stock better than your hands.
Years ago I stumbled into a tool shop in tacoma wa, they had a new norton grinding wheel on display in the corner. It was 8 ft in diameter, 1 foot thick, 1 foot shaft hole. I took a bunch of pics and from best I could tell, it was a working wheel not just some display item
Hey Blaze. I would love to see the machine that wheel goes on. Must have been some steel mill roll grinder or something like that. Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Tom
Tom, I'm glad you are finally back. We conversed several years ago about how to accurately measure a distance longer than any instrument you have on a plasma table I was building. I have a few new questions for you and maybe some of the viewers. I have some new questions for you which I will email you. WARNING!!! Don't get addicted.
Looking forward to seeing how you do the handles. I’m getting ready to do a hickory handle in a sledge. I’ve never been able to get it right with sledge hammer. I’ve done a bunch of axes, hatchets, and hammers but the sledge hammers I’ve never had luck with. Too much force or something lol
Hey James. I have not heard of that particular tape. When I looked it up I think I recognize it. Isn't the surface kind of slippery? Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Tom
@@oxtoolco The adhesive ends up on all surfaces like the friction tape. It's my favorite tape for skin contact situations. Easy to rip. Strong adhesive properties. It's worth a few bucks to try. Most people haven't heard of it surprisingly.
Oh, clever! The center mic is adding the first measurement on the inside edges to the measurement on the outside edges. That gives twice the distance between centers. It then uses a scale that's been stretched by a factor of 2 and Bob's your uncle
Tom if you are interested in a rolling base for the saw Grizzly Industiral's "Bear Crawl" Mobile Bases are excellent. They even have a version with swivel castors on all four corners.
You get beautifully machined coasters cause we appreciate the Tom Liptons the RobRenz’s of the world!!!! And let’s not ever leave out 🗣the original UA-cam shop teacher Mr Pete222!!🥇🏆 Off the topic but would someone please make Stefan Gotteswinter a “I ❤️ Master Renzetti” hoodie please! ✌️💖&💡 bozo’s
I've watched a few of those horse hooves trimming videos. Cool stuff. Just watching a statue being carved is awesome too. It's amazing what people are capable of.
Thanks for the frozen meatloaf. I don't see any reason Mr. Bozo could not have opened the wooden box after all no one said the box had to survive. Keep on keeping on.
Hey Josh, I am probably a convert now. I do like the smell of it and if it helps even in the tiniest way to stop rust I'm all in. Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Tom
I use both metal and wood working tools, and I agree, the table saw is the scariest (although many people have a greater fear of radial arm saws for some reason). I've used SawStop saws, but they feel cheap to me because of all the plastic. I also worry about accidentally tripping them and then needing to replace the $100 stop unit and the blade. No thanks!
I have the same problem with my propane/mapp torch. It's always falling over and bending the heck out of it. I finally used a 3" PVC toilet flange, Warm it up with the torch or heat gun and press the propane bottle into it. Makes a nice base and doesn't let it tip. I'd look for something similar for your M1 bottle even 2 to 3 pvc adapter pressed up the bottle would give it enough base not to tip. My loc-tite bottle and cyanoacrylate crazy glue bottles were the same way. all got the PVC fitting treatment to keep them upright so the tips would clog.
They should make a large capacity hand pump for that M1 so you never have to pick up the gallon jug. Then you could just walk up and fill the little bottle like dispensing soap.
I have the same trick at work. I save wheel hub centering cones. They're great pen holders, and they hold filters upright to fill them easily. Also make great short stands for elevating parts off a table for inspection, leveling, or painting.
Hey John. Fuzzy fleece surface sounds intriguing. I've probably seen it but I can't picture it right now. Do you have a link you can share? Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Tom
Hi Tom, I used one of the Center Mics to inspect side plates for small gearboxes in the late 60's. It was pretty accurate due to the oversize scale (2X I believe) to result in a direct reading of the center distance. For many years I have used regular calipers to take the same measurements, add together and divide by two for center distance. Enjoyed your channel for years. Ralph
Hey Ralph. This is my first encounter with the center micrometer. It is one of those reverse engineering jobs that always leaves you wanting a special tool for. Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Tom
Excellent video, I tried to tie some humor into the note about the calendar from 1962 I found some stuff right up my alley and the note probably came from someone he gave the 1962 calendar to in 1973 that did not realize the calendar was good. ( i looked up calendar recycling and found this out) it is in the time frame of the notes and such. 74 weighed heavily in the notebooks. However the note about the calendar appeared to not be weathered like the notebooks. May be he was so proud of this shenanigan he kept it out of the sunlight in his toolbox. just a private joke to himself. Apply the line in the Brown and Sharpe about not gloating. I bet Charlie Smith was an outside salesman and had access to all the hand outs of the day. I looked up Bryant grinder and found on Wikipedia about it. those IBM punch cards made a bit more sense. We must have had millions of those things at the house when Jacuzzi quit using them, we used them to start fires in the wood stove, take notes on and such. I see someone below made the bryant grinder connection below also. That is a very nice table saw. Gary has good taste when collecting. all the best Scott
Hey Scott. That actually makes some sense about calendar recycling. Good catch! Maybe it was some girly calendar and so and so didn't get a new one. We used to fight over the really good calendars that got handed out by the sales guys. Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Tom
I agree to the first part and last parts of that missive from 1906. The other two parts contributed to the passing of my father. He did all four, and when he was in pain, he hid it. In the end, he died of complications from colon cancer, one of the slowest moving cancers with amongst the highest recovery rates when caught early enough. When my oldest sister finally recognized there was a problem and _forced_ him to go to the doctor, they ended up removing a grapefruit sized cancer tumor from his colon. Sorry Tom, but this one hurt.
Hi Anathae. Sorry to hear about your father. For me the context of the missive are work related. Hopefully loved ones and family members can discuss health issues openly. In the modern work setting there is far to much personal oversharing in my opinion. All the best, Tom
I have the Rockwell version of unisaw, with 54” fence. I bought my first dial indicator to align the table slots with the blade, then to align fence to blade.
Hey Brian. I thought it was some kind of home deal. I think I picked up a handful of them for non marring wedge action. Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Tom
Bryant Grinders were made in Springfield VT, so the machinists notes and various papers make sense. The center mike is way cool. I have not seen one til now. Surface plate is indeed gorgeous.Taft Pierce made such noice tools. Once you get the shop insulated and hopefully heated it should help slow down the rust. Of course the M-1 will help keep it slowed down. I too like M-1. I want one of those funnels.
hey Tom great snack you have for us today but that's a didy saw bench which make it more dangerous , the one in the wagon repair shop at the iron works was powered by a 75 HP DC motor and had a 48 inch diameter blade about 1/2 wide the windage off that had to be felt , the Iron works had a signwriter and a sign was duly done " Please cut your fingers after use " . BTW it was a great complex to work at in the day ( served my 5 years time there) they had a full medical centre in X-ray equipment staffed 365 24/7 , dentist as well. that site was where I got used to big stuff 750 Ton cranes , motors to 1.5 megawatt , they still had the 18 foot boring machine from the second war that where still in use bore the mould for the spheroidal graphite CI pipes up to 72 inch diameter keep up you very entertaining videos
Hey Doug. You guys are interested in that? I have to think about it and see what I can talk about and not have it come across as bragging rights. Maybe a 7.3 tattoo instead? Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Tom
Thinking of cool tapes, have you seen self-vulcanizing tape? It's rubber, with *no adhesive*. When stretched and squeezed it vulcanizes, so if you stretch it and wrap it around something the layers cross-link and bond to one another. It's used for splicing wires where a watertight connection is needed, and sometimes for plumbing fixes.
I have used some of the silicon self fusing tapes. They also make a pretty good grip but don't seem to be as durable as the cotton hockey tape. Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Tom
I have used friction tape to improve tool handle grip. To your concern, I do recall when using the tools for a longer period, especially when new, it will leave a black sticky deposit on my hands. Not the end of the world but I did need to use a solvent or go-jo.
I have a couple of handles to put to their heads. I may try some friction tape on one of those and see how it performs. Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Tom
Cut off a short piece of 1/8 rod, drill a hole exactly in line with the blade, at the far end of your zero clearance plate. Makes a good substitute for a riving knife. Mine has saved me a couple of times. Also, pick up a Grrriper (I think that’s the name. Yellow plastic thing with non sliding bottom.) to push material through the table saw. I couldn’t live without the 2 I have. You are lucky to get a Delta saw from the time when Delta made good stuff. Later stuff is junk. Ask me how I know. Good loaf as usual, well seasoned and cooked.
Hey Glenn. Sounds like a good idea and simple solution. Now if I could only find somebody to put the pin exactly in line..... Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Tom
I've made some specialty spades , for metaldetecting in the past. I have a video somewhere i l post link under this post if your intrested . I used some regular camouflagetape, on the handheld spots of the spade. But after i wrapped it i sealed the wrapping with 2 way epoxy , VERY IMPORTANT ! Then it never loses or get dirty , unwrap itselfs. And its realy nice to hold esp. In winter time 😉. Grtz from the netherlands Johny geerts
I’ve been putting friction tape on the legs of my glasses for about a year now… has made a very annoying constant slipping off about to throw away pair of plastic prescription glasses not so bad lol
I thought friction was tar a soft version. And is on both sides as it sticks. Good bulk. First wrap then plastic electrical tape over it. Friction is waterproof as I recall. Try Hardware store. Mine is old school.
Congrats on that unisaw from one the of "wood chucks"! Lol those really are great saws man. Im stoked for ya! It's actually kind of hilarious to hear you say woodworking equipment is more scary than some of the ridiculously beefy machines you own and use 😆 anyway I always love the meatloaf buddy
Hey Randy. Already there. I wouldn't buy any of that cheap silver duct tape ever again after using gaffers. My dad gets me a roll for by birthday every year. Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Tom

That's why what you install on a saw are called dado blades.
Technically ... Rabbet is |_ shaped along an edge, a Dado is |_| shaped running across the grain, and a Groove is |_| shaped running with the grain.

Hey Ted. I think you just dated yourself. Did they even have ice back in those days? Thanks for the comment.

Tom, great stuff as always! Back to in the knob and tube wiring days, when you made a connection, you twisted the wires together and soldered them. Then you wrapped the connection with self vulcanizing rubber tape for insulation, and finished with "friction" tape for protection against rubbing (or friction) on the connection. My dad learned this back around ww2, and swore by it. Total pain every time I had to redo anything he wired!
Hey Dan. Your dad sounds like a cool kat. Dad's back then knew things and could fix anything! Thanks for the comment.

It occurs to me that the list of things you're *not* going to talk about in this particular Meatloaf could, potentially, be infinitely long. :-) :-)
Thanks for hanging in, snowy cold man!
Excellent video Tom. I liked the wooden mystery box. Especially the paper work looking at a man's history. The black grip tape reminds me of an electrical tape my dad used 60 or more years ago. I guess long before the plastic type we have today. I remember very sticky on one side and horribly tacky on the outside. But a very good insulator and once in place a devil to get off. Keep up the good work Tom. Cheers nobbysworkshop
Hey Nobby. Sounds like friction tape to me. Thanks for the comment.

Tom this was a fun video, thanks for having us along. I think the M1 containers are example of current design orientation. The overall shapes were chosen for packaging these containers is shipping boxes, not with the end user in mind. The designs seems to me to have been driven primarily by how low can we get the production cost of these products and get them out the door? I wonder if these items were in fact designed by Starrett or if they contracted the packaging out? The funnel is IMO an item very much designed with the end user in mind. I'll bet if Starrett had had prototypes made and given to their own employees to use and evaluate consumers would have had a more user friendly item.
Hey Bill. If you want a fun read check out the story behind the WW2 German Jerry can. The effort they went through to minimize spillage and make shipping and handling optimal is fascinating. Thanks for the comment.
Cheers,
Tom
@@oxtoolco I have seen that video and it is a great story. I suppose in some general sense the M1 container represents what our society values. Much to consume at lowest possible cost, while still providing a profit for capital suppliers. The Jerry Can was made with quite different goals in mind. Here's an interesting quote by Barry Lopez that made me think of your Meatloaf on "expensive tools, "And if now I say out of respect for my hands I would buy only the finest tools, is that, too, not love.
Welcome to the order of wood chucks 🤣. Unisaws are great machines, the Biesemeyer fence is the way to go way better than the stock fence. You have some great viewers!

For screw clamp electrical connectors the recipe that I use is: Layer 1 vinyl tape (Scotch 33 by choice) wrapped sticky side out; Layer 2 self-vulcanizing tape (Scotch Liner type); Layer 3 Vinyl tape sticky side in to cover; Layer 4 Scotchkote tape dope; sometimes a fifth layer of vinyl tape. Each layer is extended 1/4 to 1/2 an inch beyond the previous layer. The reason for inverting the first layer of vinyl is so that when you open it up it is easy to remove all of the tape because it isn't stuck to the wire and fittings.
Hey Tony. A nice piece of tradecraft there. Kind of like the buddy tabs on the tape. Thanks for the comment.
Cheers,
Tom
If you arent familiar with those unisaw fences, they have a habit of inconsistently locking down parallel to the blade, just check it out, see if yours is prone to doing that.
Also riving knives are pretty cool. I mostly use the little things that you just stick in your mouth plate made by microjig. Just real convenient when taking a crosscut sled on and off.
I imagine you already know that stuff but just in case.
Retrofitting a riving knife is definitely the thing to do - absolutely essential, I would think. I’ll always remember the video by the guy who wanted to demonstrate table saw kickback: he fully expected bad things to happen and still nearly took a few fingers off.
And a fence that aligns itself parallel to the blade sounds terrifying as well. Apparently lots of people don’t even know that the fence is supposed to be off by a hair… definitely the scariest tool in most shops.
Unless there is a very specific need, I would NOT run a table saw without a riving knife. Probably the most important safety device on a table saw, short of the user himself.
Hey Mik, I suspect it does that now a bit based on how it behaves. I have a few things to get together on the Unisaw before I start using it extensively. A splitter or riving knife and a good sled are near the top of the list. Thanks for the comment.
Cheers,
Tom
Where I retired from the carpenter shop had an older Unisaw. The arbor and sheave were wore out. I made a new arbor or and sheave and re-assembled it. The wood munchers said it had never run so smooth (matched belts also). And quiet. So safety took it out if service. One of the carpenters got it as "scrap".
IMO the Delta/Rockwell fence isn't worth a tinker's dam.
We always called that phenolic Micarta. Keep the dust under control. Nasty stuff. We used it for isolating bearings in seam welding heads and plain bearings in pumps on coolant systems.
As a long time "woody" and table saw guy it's hard to go wrong with the Unisaw. I used many fences and owned several. The best and safest IMHO is Delta's unifence. Its high/low positioning is perfect to help guide thin ( sheets of wood or non ferrous ) or cut heavy dados from thick wood. As an aside Nothing controls wood stock better than your hands.
Hey Mark. I have used a unifence in the past. I also liked the high low feature on the extrusion. Thanks for the comment.

Those bulk Starret containers are designed to be stacked on pallets. Glad they made it convenient for themselves.
Hey Silver. Agreed. Nobody cares about the end user just how to make as much possible money on the sale. Thanks for the comment.

Years ago I stumbled into a tool shop in tacoma wa, they had a new norton grinding wheel on display in the corner. It was 8 ft in diameter, 1 foot thick, 1 foot shaft hole. I took a bunch of pics and from best I could tell, it was a working wheel not just some display item
Hey Blaze. I would love to see the machine that wheel goes on. Must have been some steel mill roll grinder or something like that. Thanks for the comment.

Tom, I'm glad you are finally back. We conversed several years ago about how to accurately measure a distance longer than any instrument you have on a plasma table I was building. I have a few new questions for you and maybe some of the viewers. I have some new questions for you which I will email you. WARNING!!! Don't get addicted.
Hope you’re enjoying the country life Tom. 👍
I'm learning fast. Thanks for the comment.

Looking forward to seeing how you do the handles. I’m getting ready to do a hickory handle in a sledge. I’ve never been able to get it right with sledge hammer. I’ve done a bunch of axes, hatchets, and hammers but the sledge hammers I’ve never had luck with. Too much force or something lol
You should try leuko tape. It's medical grade friction tape basically. It also makes a great create your own bandaid tape.
Hey James. I have not heard of that particular tape. When I looked it up I think I recognize it. Isn't the surface kind of slippery? Thanks for the comment.
Cheers,
Tom
@@oxtoolco The adhesive ends up on all surfaces like the friction tape. It's my favorite tape for skin contact situations. Easy to rip. Strong adhesive properties. It's worth a few bucks to try. Most people haven't heard of it surprisingly.
Oh, clever! The center mic is adding the first measurement on the inside edges to the measurement on the outside edges. That gives twice the distance between centers. It then uses a scale that's been stretched by a factor of 2 and Bob's your uncle
Bing bang bong. And there you have it. I was pretty impressed after I tried it. Thanks for the comment.

Tom if you are interested in a rolling base for the saw Grizzly Industiral's "Bear Crawl" Mobile Bases are excellent. They even have a version with swivel castors on all four corners.

Big fan of camphor in the toolbox. Theoretically it helps with rust but mostly it makes your toolbox smell AMAZING when you open them.

I use both metal and wood working tools, and I agree, the table saw is the scariest (although many people have a greater fear of radial arm saws for some reason). I've used SawStop saws, but they feel cheap to me because of all the plastic. I also worry about accidentally tripping them and then needing to replace the $100 stop unit and the blade. No thanks!
I have the same problem with my propane/mapp torch. It's always falling over and bending the heck out of it. I finally used a 3" PVC toilet flange, Warm it up with the torch or heat gun and press the propane bottle into it. Makes a nice base and doesn't let it tip. I'd look for something similar for your M1 bottle even 2 to 3 pvc adapter pressed up the bottle would give it enough base not to tip. My loc-tite bottle and cyanoacrylate crazy glue bottles were the same way. all got the PVC fitting treatment to keep them upright so the tips would clog.
Hi Tom, I think the M1 jug was made for stacking on display, not for the end user. Maybe a screw on spout🤔
Nothing better than getting this notification at the end of a long work day.
Hey Andrew. Thanks for the nice comment.
Cheers,
Tom
They should make a large capacity hand pump for that M1 so you never have to pick up the gallon jug. Then you could just walk up and fill the little bottle like dispensing soap.
I have the same trick at work. I save wheel hub centering cones. They're great pen holders, and they hold filters upright to fill them easily. Also make great short stands for elevating parts off a table for inspection, leveling, or painting.
Hey Nathan. Thanks for the comment.
Cheers,
Tom
That is very different,Tom.Thank you.
the friction tape is often listed as wire harness tape or Tesa tape and comes in a smooth surface or a fuzzy fleece surface
Tesa, after the German company which is one of the world's largest producers of adhesive tape.
Hey John. Fuzzy fleece surface sounds intriguing. I've probably seen it but I can't picture it right now. Do you have a link you can share? Thanks for the comment.
Cheers,
Tom
In my youth that is what we used to tape our hockey sticks and shin pads and it will certainly come off on your hands.
I have cut bundles of plywood with a saw from that same timeframe. A true workhorse.
Hey David. I do like the fact it is vintage but still really relevant in the woodworking community. Thanks for the comment.

Hi Tom, I used one of the Center Mics to inspect side plates for small gearboxes in the late 60's. It was pretty accurate due to the oversize scale (2X I believe) to result in a direct reading of the center distance. For many years I have used regular calipers to take the same measurements, add together and divide by two for center distance. Enjoyed your channel for years. Ralph
Hey Ralph. This is my first encounter with the center micrometer. It is one of those reverse engineering jobs that always leaves you wanting a special tool for. Thanks for the comment.

Excellent video,
I tried to tie some humor into the note about the calendar from 1962 I found some stuff right up my alley and the note probably came from someone he gave the 1962 calendar to in 1973 that did not realize the calendar was good. ( i looked up calendar recycling and found this out) it is in the time frame of the notes and such. 74 weighed heavily in the notebooks. However the note about the calendar appeared to not be weathered like the notebooks. May be he was so proud of this shenanigan he kept it out of the sunlight in his toolbox. just a private joke to himself. Apply the line in the Brown and Sharpe about not gloating. I bet Charlie Smith was an outside salesman and had access to all the hand outs of the day.
I looked up Bryant grinder and found on Wikipedia about it. those IBM punch cards made a bit more sense. We must have had millions of those things at the house when Jacuzzi quit using them, we used them to start fires in the wood stove, take notes on and such. I see someone below made the bryant grinder connection below also.
That is a very nice table saw. Gary has good taste when collecting.
all the best
Scott
Hey Scott. That actually makes some sense about calendar recycling. Good catch! Maybe it was some girly calendar and so and so didn't get a new one. We used to fight over the really good calendars that got handed out by the sales guys. Thanks for the comment.

I agree to the first part and last parts of that missive from 1906. The other two parts contributed to the passing of my father. He did all four, and when he was in pain, he hid it. In the end, he died of complications from colon cancer, one of the slowest moving cancers with amongst the highest recovery rates when caught early enough. When my oldest sister finally recognized there was a problem and _forced_ him to go to the doctor, they ended up removing a grapefruit sized cancer tumor from his colon. Sorry Tom, but this one hurt.
Hi Anathae. Sorry to hear about your father. For me the context of the missive are work related. Hopefully loved ones and family members can discuss health issues openly. In the modern work setting there is far to much personal oversharing in my opinion.
All the best,
Tom
with all the machines I have run - the table saw is certainly the scariest tool I have used..
In woodshop in high school, the jointer was absolutely terrifying!

The white wedges are actually shims for leveling toilet bases....the grooves allow stacking them...if needed for additional thickness.

Bryant Grinders were made in Springfield VT, so the machinists notes and various papers make sense. The center mike is way cool. I have not seen one til now. Surface plate is indeed gorgeous.Taft Pierce made such noice tools. Once you get the shop insulated and hopefully heated it should help slow down the rust. Of course the M-1 will help keep it slowed down. I too like M-1. I want one of those funnels.
Hey Warren. I lubed the plate up with M1 and put some VCI paper on it already. Thanks for the comment.

hey Tom great snack you have for us today
but that's a didy saw bench which make it more dangerous , the one in the wagon repair shop at the iron works was powered by a 75 HP DC motor and had a 48 inch diameter blade about 1/2 wide the windage off that had to be felt , the Iron works had a signwriter and a sign was duly done " Please cut your fingers after use " . BTW it was a great complex to work at in the day ( served my 5 years time there) they had a full medical centre in X-ray equipment staffed 365 24/7 , dentist as well. that site was where I got used to big stuff 750 Ton cranes , motors to 1.5 megawatt , they still had the 18 foot boring machine from the second war that where still in use bore the mould for the spheroidal graphite CI pipes up to 72 inch diameter
keep up you very entertaining videos

Thinking of cool tapes, have you seen self-vulcanizing tape? It's rubber, with *no adhesive*. When stretched and squeezed it vulcanizes, so if you stretch it and wrap it around something the layers cross-link and bond to one another. It's used for splicing wires where a watertight connection is needed, and sometimes for plumbing fixes.
I have used some of the silicon self fusing tapes. They also make a pretty good grip but don't seem to be as durable as the cotton hockey tape. Thanks for the comment.
Cheers,
Tom
@@oxtoolco Yeah, I doubt they'd work as well for grip. They're just cool materials.
Oddly enough no jug pours better than a standard gallon milk jug!!
I have used friction tape to improve tool handle grip. To your concern, I do recall when using the tools for a longer period, especially when new, it will leave a black sticky deposit on my hands. Not the end of the world but I did need to use a solvent or go-jo.
I have a couple of handles to put to their heads. I may try some friction tape on one of those and see how it performs. Thanks for the comment.
Cheers,
Tom
Cut off a short piece of 1/8 rod, drill a hole exactly in line with the blade, at the far end of your zero clearance plate. Makes a good substitute for a riving knife. Mine has saved me a couple of times. Also, pick up a Grrriper (I think that’s the name. Yellow plastic thing with non sliding bottom.) to push material through the table saw. I couldn’t live without the 2 I have. You are lucky to get a Delta saw from the time when Delta made good stuff. Later stuff is junk. Ask me how I know. Good loaf as usual, well seasoned and cooked.
Hey Glenn. Sounds like a good idea and simple solution. Now if I could only find somebody to put the pin exactly in line..... Thanks for the comment.

@@oxtoolco maybe you can find a machinist where you work with the skills…
I've made some specialty spades , for metaldetecting in the past.
I have a video somewhere i l post link under this post if your intrested .
I used some regular camouflagetape, on the handheld spots of the spade.
But after i wrapped it i sealed the wrapping with 2 way epoxy , VERY IMPORTANT !
Then it never loses or get dirty , unwrap itselfs.
And its realy nice to hold esp. In winter time 😉.

You might want to run a dehumidifier in your shop for that rust. I had a serious mold problem and the dehumidifier completely eliminated it.
