1877 Disston Hand-Cranked Band Saw Set [Rescue]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 мар 2017
- This antique automatic saw set was is good shape to begin with. The spring on the advancing arm was missing and needed to be replaced, with a temporary fix. I decided to keep the bare metal look as it matches the age of the tool and looks good to me. I left the jaws loose so you can see how it pushes on the teeth. Oil or a wipe-on polyurethane would be a good choice for rust protection in the future.
I have no idea what the piece marked "28" does. Would love help with that if anyone knows. Everything else works great and sets the teeth perfectly if setup properly.

15:08 it's amazing what one can accomplish with 3 hands :0
One of "his" hands is a lot purttier than the other two. 🙂

how did I not notice it
sgbarn haha, I think he has something "different" in every video
I love seeing how “clean” his workbench was 5 yrs ago compared to today!
Imagine my surprise after seeing it compared to now!
ohhh, a set for setting the tooth allignment! all this time, I was thinking it was the saw it's self! so wondering what all those moving bits were for, was confusing. I'm GLAD you like to USE the tool, so we get to see it in action. that's important for the enjoyment of the video for me.
i thought the same thing as you lol.....how does this saw wood?!
Casey Gibbons l
I was thinking the same thing. What does a band saw need the horizontal bits for? At the end, I realized it was a set. Good call, sir.
Tizona Amanthia such a pretty profile pic
meow!
I didn’t realize exactly how this thing works until almost the very end.
A great restoration.
I kept thinking of the person who invented this thing, all the parts positioned and moving together to achieve the goal. Wish I had an ounce of that brilliance. Thanks for posting the rescue
Likwise.
I kept thinking it wasn't designed by someone distracted by a glowing screen!
...Another thing that kept running through my mind was the movie "Hugo".
Agreed, from a time where people weren't distracted by smartphones every 5 minutes.
They just got distracted by a newspaper instead...
That stuff is engineered with adjustable positions for everything. Kind of like Erector Sets and the engineering toys you could get in the 80s, 90s. In all reality these tools are extremely simple. Made when manufacturing wasn’t as fast. They had to be simple to turn out production quickly. Plus the simple designs last the longest. Not always the best but simple and reliable as a hammer.
As always, a wonderfully honest restoration. No makeover, up-cycle, or fake chrome!
In a world of disposable everything, you do us all a service by fixing these wonderful tools,thank you
The way you show every part as it comes off, I'm convinced that you started making these videos just so you could look back and see how it all goes together.
Он не настроил что бы разводило зубья !!!
What a crazy number of castings on a small tool. Super cool.
I'm amazed how a more than likely piece of in one's eye's garbage can be brought back to show history so well, You are very talented keep up the great work and I will keep watching!
Great rehab, I like the way you show what they do after you're done, keep them coming and thanks for sharing!
I think I found a new favorite Zen channel you can just relax and watch this all day don't have to concentrate on it at all.

I agree! I’m addicted now!
Engineers and tool makers 150yrs ago designed and manufactured equipment so the average tradesman could repair it easily. All the tools would have been expensive, but likely to be a once in a lifetime investment in their career. Thanks for this very interesting restoration. I didn't feel deprived at all, when I realised there was no head-banging, mind-numbing modern "music".
+dav snow Thanks! Dubstep restoration next time.
Hand Tool Rescue 😲 Quick!! Where's my earmuffs?
It’s sad nowadays but tools are engineered to fail. Because I company that sells you a bandsaw and you have it for life isn’t making money very long and soon going out of business. Whereas a company that sells you a decent bandsaw that lasts 5 years... they’re going to sell quite a few of them. And everything is electronic now and electronic is easy to set a predetermined fail. Resistors life span is easily predictable. You want it to last five years? Put a few resistors in that have a five year life before their components break down. You’ve now got steady customers who are regularly coming back. Same with autos.
Chancellor You're exactly right, I have woodworking machines from the 30s, 40s, + 50s , with proper care I think they can literally last forever, I consider myself a temporary caretaker of the machines I have. I think it must have been in the 50s when they came up with "planned obsolescence"
In some cases, companies actually released service manuals to walk people through common repairs and maintenance tasks.
Incredible. I'm from France. I'm a carpenter. I have never seen a such tool. Thank you !
I love that it will work for another 150 years.
That tool is a work of art . well done sir.
I was so lost until the very end. As with all your videos, I enjoyed every minute of it
With your help I discovered and learn a world of ancien tools. Thank you for your lessons .
The mechanical elegance of machinery like this really floats my boat.
I love old tools and equipment. I have a few Stanely hand planes, a Disston crosscut saw and a hand full of hatchets. Preserving history is great.
watching these videos randomly, can tell how old by the cleanliness of the bench :)
I love machinery of this type, because it's at the right complexity that I can recreate it myself, no wiring or programming required.
Wow great video! I just inherited this exact same thing from my grandfather. His father used it in his Greenwich, CT cabinet shop from the 20's through the mid century! Ours is mounted on a wooden board and still operates.
I looked at that thing as you initially displayed it and wondered, "Band Saw? No kidding. How the hell can that be?" Then I realized, I missed the word "set". Nevertheless, for a bunch of castings made 120 years ago, that thing was in almost perfect condition, and look at that old dude get her done. WOW! You brought back an important fact. We've been making GREAT tools for a long time.
Love your videos and how you use the sounds of the mechanics to tell the story!
Another amazing invention restored. I don't know how your mind wraps around these projects but ir keeps doing it!
I'm six minutes into this video and already I'm so glad it's you who's putting this thing back together and not me. Can't wait to see it work!
That is a very cool tool, Another addition to your shop.
I always enjoy watching your work. This tool in particular impressed me by the complexity of its parts. Just imagine, some anonymous engineer back then came up with all those strange parts with their unusual geometries to create a functional tool, and he didn't have CAD, nor a computer, not even a simple 4 function calculator. Every bit was done with drawings and calculations on paper. It's pretty impressive, and your restoration does justice to the brilliant mind that first devised it. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. You do very good work, and it's a lot of fun to watch.
Hey I found one of those in a old warehouse we tore down,been sitting on a shelf in my shop for over 15 yrs,no one that saw it could figure out what it was,now we know.thanks its in working order very cool
great job my friend as usual I love how you take all that apart and get it back together.
Love the wear and tear look on your work bench...
That was awesome to watch! Just found your channel and really like the old tools work.
All bandsaw setting tools that I've seen in production so far (power or manual) have a support table in the back of the setting tool. The best setup had adjustments on the X axis of the setting tool, allowing the bandsaw to remained perfectly flat whatever how wide they were.
Nice restauration by the way.
Now, I just need a reason to drive two hours to get at the closest Princess Auto for a bucket of Evaporust... 😀
Keep up your good work.
What a score! Not so much need of one these days as pretty much everything is bi-metal and most of us don’t resharpen our own blades but that is a beauty you have there.
That looks amazing! Great job
awesome videos....love watching them....very relaxing.....keep up good work
Very cool. I like your old work bench too.
Fascinating little machine; hadn't seen one before. I like the videos btw at the normal speed btw. Thanks much
amazing skills you have sir,I can't imagine the mind it took to design this work of art
Great video on the restoration and use of the 1877 Disston hand-crank saw set. Often wondered how it works ;-)
Fabulous. Only found your channel about a month ago and you have brought with it a ray of sunshine into my life! Cheers.
Thank you! Welcome.
Awsome, never knew anything like this ever existed... Great Job!
What an interesting machine & beautiful restoration, great work! :)
Good save I always enjoy your videos, can't say I'm impressed with the machine all the same.
i absolutely love this one great job! love it that you didnt paint it either bare metal was the sexiest choice !
Fascinating I have never seen one of these before!
The lady's hand freaked me out for a sec! 🤣 Another awesome job.
Awesome job, the bare look is nice!
Geez, so many comments about how "they don't build them like they used too!" They built crappy tools back then too... it's just that they didn't last long enough for us to see them. Don't scoff at every tool you see on the shelf at Walmart saying it's all crap and ignore the modern manufacturers who produce tough and reliable products.
When it was the 80s everyone bitched about “damn new vehicles and their stupid pollution pumps and charcoal canisters! They don’t make em like they did in the 60s! 2005, “these damn new trucks are garbage! Remember in the 80s when they were simple and you could work on them yourself! They don’t make them like 80s trucks anymore!” Every decade has garbage products and amazing products that will stand the test of time. They still make them like they used to quality wise if you look. Thing is now they’re a hell of a lot nicer and more efficient too!
THANK. YOU.
Things in the past weren't necessarily "better" in any sort of way, I agree. I would add that, nowadays, any tool might be great, powerful and accurate, yet it will often break down after a certain time of use, due to planned obsolescence... something that was far harder to achieve with cruder, stronger tools of way back when.
That's probably why we still find tools over a hundred years old that can be restored and reused. I doubt we will find many recent (21st century that is) tools in one hundred years from now, exactly for the reason I mention here above
To add to this, I don't think a lot of people realize how much better modern tools perform than old tools. Like come on, they had manual drills back then lol. Even in the 1950's power tools were huge, heavy, and weak compared to what we have now. Imagine building shit with a 20lb corded drill that only spins forward and flat head screws. I already want to quit just thinking about it.
USNVA Maybe you should buy a better hammer
Was baffled at first but now understand the meaning of the tool. Great restoration
oh man, that's a really cool machine! Beautifully done good sir
Thanks!
Nice work. I really enjoy your tool rescue and restoration.
Thank you.
My family owned a sawmill just on the edge of London, England, from 1895. As a little boy, visiting the sawmill with my father, I thought the big circular saws used for slicing the trees into planks were the most exciting thing ever. Some of them were made by Disston..
thanks for sharing...great restore!
Amazing bit of kit. Love mechanical apparatus and how it works. I'll say one thing though, that third hand hasn't had nearly as tough a paper round as the other two. 😉
This was so much fun to watch. The sounds of the tools on metal, seeing the tool come apart then be reassembled. Great stuff. Did make me nervous though when your loose floppy sleeves came close to the spinning wire brush, saw a guy get sucked into one of those once. He was torn up pretty bad, hate to see you get hurt.
Greetings from brazil your videos are great, I'm new enrolled in the channel I only see old restorations and tools used in the past: D hugs
IMPRESIONANTE!!! me encantan estas máquinas tan antiguas, saludos desde España
Nice video mate..... hey Casey Gibbons this machine sets the teeth to where they have to sit in order to cut wood.... have a look at most saw blades and you will see that each tooth is bent the opposite to the one next to it and that's what this machine does... it's not for cutting wood but to align the teeth on the blade.
Thanks for sharing Hand Tool Rescue I love seeing the old stuff come to life :).
Just found this channel about to binge watch all of the videos
That is so cool. I love how you leave the bare metal and you don't cover up these cool mechanical things in paint
The objects with a high "gizmocity" factor look best naked.
I wish I had that tool. It's a great find.
You have 3 hands!!!!!!!!!! another fantastic video and tool restore!
Thank you!
Great video
What a beautiful old machine.
Amazing tool and resto!
Thanks Stavros!
That's a very lovely third hand you have.
The appearance of the third hand was a bit alarming! Great video. I can't get enough of these. New subscriber!
great job
That thing is awesome!
Man you gotta be a machinist to do this, this is amazing.
Amazing tool can alignment for saw blade like that long time ago .
just got to love a good jig saw puzzle.
nice work
I wasn't aware that there were bandsaws back in the 1860's, but if there were they had the tool to set it. This was in remarkable condition wasn't it? Again, great video. Regards.
that's a "kerf" reset tool.
Kerf: The narrow channel left behind by the saw, and (relatedly) the measure of its width, which depends on several factors: the width of the saw blade; the set of the blade's teeth; the amount of wobble created during cutting; and the amount of material pulled out of the sides of the cut. Although the term "kerf" is often used informally, to refer simply to the thickness of the saw blade, or to the width of the set, this can be misleading, because blades with the same thickness and set may create different kerfs. For example, a too-thin blade can cause excessive wobble, creating a wider-than-expected kerf. The kerf created by a given blade can be changed by adjusting the set of its teeth with a tool called a saw tooth setter.
gary jonson
Nope. It’s not. It’s a “setting tool”. The “set” of the saw decided the width of the “kerf”. Nice try though.
The shape of new spring 10:44 is amazing.. couldn't be better %-)
A good restoration & video.
excellent mechanical skills .
owesome the quality of those iron parts
all those square heads haha. awesome piece of history
Good stuff.
To whom it concerns
this - is - not - a - hand - cranked - bandsaw it only sets the saw's teeth and you can file them one by one.
NICEFINENEWROBOT
I finally knew what it is.. thanks for your comment.
Omg thank you, I was going nuts trying to figure out how it cuts things haha
Hence the name...Band Saw Set...it sets the teeth on a band saw. Have a happy Holiday...captjack
That's why is says "Band Saw Set" in the title, genius.
Oryx The Taken King not everyone knows the difference
Crazy device. It's amazing what the human mind can come up with in the mechanical world. 😄
.....watched almost all of em.....need to take a break, haha...I think I have a problem, hello my name is Rich and I watch too may restore videos......it's bad when... this video is over a year old THESE ARE AWESOME!
I have this same gizmo in my shop that came in a lot of chisels and gouges I bought off Craig’s List 5 years ago. I’ve been trying to figure out what it was, now I see. Lol, I was considering contacting you to see if you would want to restore it, if you knew what it was. I see that you do. Mine seems functional, except the blade “lifter” on the out feed side was snapped off. Mine does still have a factory paper tag on one of the adjustment screws saying not to adjust it…. Lol. Thanks for solving the mystery!
Hey, that was an excellent rescue. I enjoyed watching, old tools are dear to my heart. The spring remake was a bit amerture. You might have used a piece of piano wire. But you really did do a good job. Thanks for sharing. I have watched all your videos and am looking forward to Future rescues.
Thank you!
gorgeous iron
Good job.
Great video... Congratulations from Brasil...
It's amazing to see some of the stuff that was made so long ago, 84 years before I was born...lol
Amazing to think these old works of art were designed without computers
cool tool! The 3rd hand was funny!
Pretty darn cool!
Мастер хорош,много ваших видео пересмотрел , но 3-я рука это просто шедевр😄😄😄
Really Cool!!!
Hard work, grit, determination and your own 3 hands! 15:00. Though your spare hand was distinctly less masculine than your normal 2. This was the perfect video to sit down to with a screaming hot bowl of spicy Minestrone soup!
mmmm...spicy.
Yeah, it's almost the end of March and we just got blasted with 55 cm of snow so soup and your video were perfect! Oh and the project was cool too!
Great job I bet half the fun is finding the tool
+dwittek Thanks! Getting harder and harder.
bravo good job
Loved the third hand...
