DEWALT SAWS IN WORLD WAR II PROMOTIONAL FILM 50674

Support Our Channel : / periscopefilm
“DeWalt Saws In The War Program” is a World War II era black-and-white promotional film touting the use of the power tools to combat Axis forces. A scroll beginning at mark 00:35 explains how the United States “is creating the most efficient and finest Army and Navy personnel, equipping them with the best ships, planes, tanks, and guns of history.” Such objectives require the quick construction of training bases - leading the DeWalt company to develop new machines to meet the need. Several minutes of the film are dedicated to detailing the types of saws and their methods of operation. The design and speed of DeWalt saws quickens the process, the narrator reminds us at mark 04:38, “hour after hour, cut after cut, each as accurate as the first.” The film continues as the cutting process is painstakingly described. We see how saw blades are cared for and filed (mark 10:24) before returning to a lengthy parade of construction scenes of the barracks. DeWalt products are also used to create drill halls (mark 21:45) and to cut lumber used in the construction of the Lake Washington Floating Bridge (also known as the Lacey V. Murrow Memorial Bridge), and shipyard construction in Puget Sound. “The world will know that here was a machine that in its humble way, but in no small way, had helped in final victory,” the narrator concludes.
DeWalt (trademarked as DᴇWALT) is an American worldwide brand of power tools and hand tools for the construction, manufacturing and woodworking industries. It is a subsidiary of Stanley Black & Decker.
The original company was started in 1924 by Raymond E. DeWalt, the inventor of the radial arm saw. The company grew quickly and was reorganized and re-incorporated in 1947 as DeWalt Inc.
After buying the company in 1949, American Machine & Foundry Co., Inc. sold it to Black & Decker in 1960.

[@theroofcutter]

I enjoyed reading the crawl at the beginning. "Inventive ideas only free men can achieve."

[@arzainc1]

The best tool I have owned, I bought one from Sears 40 years ago and never regretted the purchase, never had an accident... most practical saw ever invented.

[@terryherrera5252]

As a Carpenter I have used these SAME SAWS This week n months !!! 2 are ACTUALLY “1941” saws !!! One had the motor rewound 3 years ago !! Our Owner WUZ able to get many heads n Jigsaw adapter parts !!! They are JEWELS !! RIP video participants !!

[@wolf-walker]

Love these saws. As a professional furniture maker, I keep mine dedicated for 90 degree large cut-off and some precision dado work. I will never give it up, always spot-on! You'll never get a new machine of this quality. Keep the old stuff going strong.

[@Ritalie]

The Dewalt MBF saws do retain their accuracy when moved around. Since there is actually zero clearance, not even 0.001" clearance of side play, when you return them to zero. The key is, putting some light oil on the 90 degree locking tang, so it can wedge in fully, and once it's wedged in, it removes 100% of the play, so the saw is effectively one solid piece when returning it to 90. I think people didn't maintain their saws, and so they got the impression that they couldn't do miter cuts without knocking it out of alignment. I do know that my Craftsman saw has a very good locking mechanism with no side play, but the carriage bearings that slide back and forth on the arm, are so loose on the Craftsman saws, due to the bearings being extremely coarse, low quality bearings, that the bearings have much more play than the arm has.

[@Satchmoeddie]

I have a first year AMF DeWalt built in the original DeWalt factory. I mostly use a special blade to cut fret slots in guitar fingerboards with it.

[@BrassLock]

DeWalt Radial Arm saws are featured here, no mitre saws or table saws to be seen. Today, Radial Arm saws are rarely featured on KZbin, yet they obviously set remarkable records for accurately cutting millions of linear lumbar feet in the 1940's. Strange how fashions change for no particular reason.

[@glenbjack]

"good" marketing playing on mass ignorance....works for a lot of things!!

[@whitacrebespoke]

I sold my ELU radial arm Saw (a model copied by dewalt after the merger) to buy a Wadkin 16inch machine. 5 years ago I took it out of my shop yet more and more I want it back in the shop. Good job I still have it in storage. The mitre Saw has its place for one off cuts but the radial arm really is king.

[@jackleo8726]

Been using DeWalt saws and tools for 40 years as a professional journeyman carpenter. I still have the 7-inch heavy duty circular saw that weighed about 5 lb more than everybody else's but they can't buy a new ones every year and mine just kept on running. That's all is now 25 years old, runs clean and true and has not slowed at all like some older electric motors do. The only DeWalt tool I ever had to fade or fail on me was a reciprocating saw fit somebody tripped over the chord and caused it to fall 30 ft to the concrete. He was 8 or 9 years old heavily damaged I took it to the shop to see if they could fix it and they gave me a new one instead. Excellent product good people great service.

[@Dougie085]

Weren't radial arm saws phased out due to safety concerns or something?

[@gingertimelord5]

i have and am restoring the 9" (little guy) dewalt radial arm saw .... the built quality and dependability is incredible my brother has not three identical craftsman radial arm saws and the modern lesser grade overheats and stalls or the motors wear out (this is why he has three)

[@djsi38t]

Fantastic...I personally worked in the manufactured housing industry from 1990 to 2015 Building modular homes indoors on a line from start to finish.Well we had one of these Dewalt saws and I swear it looked exactly like the saws shown here...A good 60 plus years later...The saw was very old but kept in fine tune.I believe it had an 18 inch blade and it cut by itself most of the lumber needed to build 3 to 4 houses per week.I can still here the whirr of the sawblade...It almost sounds like high speed wind...something missing from this film is that sound. Probably some of the finest saws ever made in the 20th century and with good care an almost limitless life.I was well aware of the Dewalt name before their rise with battery powered tools.I still remember when I saw the first cordless Dewalt Drill and though how amazing it was that the DEwalt name was being brought back to the forefront of the industry after so many years ago when the saw we had was built.

[@melotone3305]

The production numbers they cite here are very impressive. And pay attention the the variety of jigs used for crosscuts and angled cuts . Great creativity!!! 👍

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Thanks, Periscope! I like DeWalt equipment but then was when it wasn't farmed out to a foreign land to be made. And I was housed in WW-2 barracks all through my Army hitch in the 70's. Still standing. Thanks again!

Beautiful footage and beautiful Dewalt radial arm saws. Although I'm too scared to watch anymore of it, it looks like they are rushing as fast as possible. Now days, there's no way that 3 men would be allowed to operate one big industrial saw that quickly. Workers don't move that fast anymore either. It's amazing to see how focused and motivated the workers were in that era.

[@michael.schuler]

Thank you! I've owned and used many Dewalt RAS. Properly tuned, they can yield great accuracy at terrific value, especially if each of them is set up and dedicated to just one of the many functions. For example: 90 degree cross-cutting; 90 degree dados; etc.

[@thedubwhisperer2157]

A wonderful video. As a Brit, it's always amazing to see that mass housing in the US is essentially variations of wooden sheds. In contrast, the stone and lime walls in my C17th century home in the south west of England come in at about a ton per square yard... In terms of effort, I think I know which I would rather build!

[@A6Legit]

Im sure the saw is great but lets be real, they hit all those production goals because the people on the job were busting their asses to get it done.

[@basketballjones6782]

They hit all those production goals because they had a much higher work ethic, an immensely larger sense of responsibility, and far more morals than you could ever dream of obtaining.

[@Monuments_to_Good_Intentions]

17:50 the guy pulling the saw by the blade guard! 😂👊🏻

[@loftsatsympaticodotc]

WE have 3 or 4 earlier DeWalts. Really solid machines, with machined groove, ball tracks for the moving saw-head. I loved those heavy the all-cast iron overarms. Great invention. We never did find someone to re-machine the grooves with larger balls to fit when the grooves became worn.

[@FantomWireBrian]

Nothing better than a good Radial ,and nothing better also is getting half of what you paid for your table saw. No need for one at all. I have a 12" Delta commercial. I don't know why but I just have to have a 16 " vintage DeWalt. 😎

[@burntorangeak]

More than the outstanding use of capable saws, I'm amazed at the uniform nature of the raw stock they were feeding into them. Ever look at framing stock these days? Entire bunks of blems and rejects.

[@martinoamello3017]

I have an old DeWalt joiner from the 40s I paid a hundred bucks for ..Always spot on and heavy as hell.

[@mjc11a]

Man, how I miss the smell of fresh-cut wood! Thanks for posting.

[@JohnAdams-xc5yk]

My son in law bought a DeWalt Radial Arm Saw at auction he called me to help load it, when I arrived I couldn't believe my eyes this saw heavy cast iron, 48 inch cross cut 5 hp motor 20 inch blades it runs perfect the company that had it made doors, it is not WW2 but made in the 50s

[@heyitsmecarl1]

Beautiful!

[@denjhill]

I lived in Seattle and have owned and restored several Dewalt RAS. Love those machines for their quality. Still run a small 9" in my shop. But that video of the floating bridge is almost unbelievable. See it today and the traffic is bumper to bumper regardless of time of day.

[@terryherrera5252]

AWSOME Production!!! True PATRIOT’S !!

[@rlic9206]

This is when America knew what hard work was. Get er done!

[@whirled_peas]

The foot clamp at 9:40 is genius, going to have to try that

[@nicolasbroodryk3407]

I feel stupid, lazy and cowardly after watching this video, but have a new found respect for the machine.

[@pyropls]

I love the Style of safety glasses they used back then

[@Nighthawke70]

Imagine if pneumatic nailers were made then instead in the 1950's. Believe it or not, they STILL make and sell parts for these models. Original Saw has a cross-reference guide on dating your inheritance, telling you how old your DeWalt is. They also have parts, ranging from round-button power switches, lower guards, bearings, and return pulleys. These are not NOS parts, but modern equivalents.

[@brandonfuller2254]

Incredible film. I actually have one of these.

[@gene2728]

You really have one of the seven that was made shown in this film, that must be great !!! Where did you find it? I only have a 10 inch Craftsman that I have had 40 years.

[@mrwaterschoot5617]

this is way kool. i now have a better understanding of the 1959 sears craftsman 10 inch radial arm saw that probably built like the dewalt designed home owner version of the saw. dad wore out the internal track in the cast iron.arm. it would not surprise me that he saw this video in his post world war2. trade school trade school training

[@mrwaterschoot5617]

dad survived in nazi occupied holland. in january 1952 january 1953. in the royal dutch military in the comando corp as a foot soldier and may have been sent to war in korea as part of dutch nato peace keepers. dad was 21 and a half when he started and parted at age 22 and a half. when he was promoted to korporal. and 3 days after my mom turned 18. her married my mom on january 26,1953 for the state in a civil service. then a church service on may 6 1953. i was first born october 6 1956. a dutch born daughter in 1957 and a a first born american son born between saint nicholas day and christmas day 1958. with the yeat of the new york world fair 1964 dad bought his first new north american built pontiac station wagon with a 350 v8. he had his dutch born family leave the dutch behind and become naturalized american citizens and there was so much love of mom and country. that they had one last baby boomer daughter that we nickname ans american crash dummy. in 1965 oma and opa took a cruise from a dutch harbor called rotterdam on a vessel of the holland american lines bound for the port of new york. they were with us most of the summer. and early fall. we saw together the second year of the world fair and fall was the last time that we saw oma and opa together in the land we loved america. by 1966 dad had to go to dundee scotland for a plant ser up for veeder root. he took some free time to visit his duth born predecessors. he looked happy but you could see opas hand and it might have been shaking from parkinson's disease. by may 27, 1967 opa died and it was the only time i saw my dad shed a tear for his dad . on june 8,2012 my dad passed and because of dry eye or shell shock or ptsd i could not cry i guess because of the water in my last name and the blood running through my viena. randy travis wrote the song about his grand pa and he thought he walked on water. and the judds sang grandpa tell us about the good ole days. and last but not least. a jimmy buffet song about the son of a gun a son of a sailor son of a tailor son of carpenter son from a momma and a papo hey i am a jerry lewis joker in a slap stick man from asia nation china ass hole i am a honorable a number one first born son of a dutch born man who can walk on his first half of his last and can schoot across a low land in wooden shoes or shooter a pop gun or a cap gun or a pea shooter. thanks dad john foldgerberg sang it best dad was the leader of the band. dad was a and mom was b and i turned i turned out ab- because of dyslexia and my baby brother was ab+ with the smarts in our generation of mom and dad's offspring . my brother died due to terminal kidney failure. that make me heir apparent and i an a king of something and my mother changes fro dad queen be and now is the queen mother for me. i married a lady jane francis beebe and she toke my last name before the millennium change and she loved me so much that see called me honey bunny. and i called he queen beebe. and on 9-11-2019 god called her to heaven to join her ancestors in a church hand bell choir or in song and praise in the voice choir with heaven and saints in surround sound somewhere of a sunny sky and a rainbow it a pot of gold or a bucket of tears if i had no tears to spare. in beatle fashion saying words of wisdom let it be let it beebe.

Instead of needing many carpenters to do calculations and layout for construction, prefabrication allowed for only a few talented men to do the more complex angle calculations and machine set up. Fewer carpenters would be needed onsite as well, allowing cheaper, less skilled laborers to handle the assembling of prefabbed material. Construction prefabrication is a growing operation now. Computer modeling, coupled with factory styled prefabrication departments for electrical, plumbing, HVAC mechanical and even concrete will allow less skilled laborer to assemble the items being constructed under the direction of fewer knowledgeable people. George Carlin explains further in this clip. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpnUgXuHmLuYfpI

I'd buy one of these US made saws, rather than the Chinese made crap of today.

[@michaelpeluso4313]

Was Dewalt the heavy duty division of black and decker

[@bobwild9995]

No, they were an independent company, B&D bought the company/name in the late 70's or early 80's and after B&D destroyed their brand with cheap junk, started to use the good DeWalt name on the tools. I still have many B&D industrial brand tools, and ELU brand but I went cordless 20 years ago with Milwaukee.

it would not surprise me that howard hughes had used a dewalt radial arm saw in the production of that spruce goose airplane that hughes aircraft produce and the avial aviator howard hughes tested and flew out in california. maybe long beach. i was at a military base in monterey california and you can see the barracks wer still alive in the 2015 timeframe they probably could have used a new coat of paint but still usable now. just imagine if we took abandoned safe buildings in america and give it to american home challenged people a place to think and plant a ww2 victory garden for food to eat. until the person or family could get back on their own feet to live a good way of life. for service men and women who served our america. and suffered pstd from activities that caused them to take a human life in violation of the 6th commandment. do not kill and my addition is another human life. and there are plants and wild life and domesticated animals that are used for food an animal protein. homeless is another word for hopeless with no sign of hope. we need a way to find hope and turn homeless to a temporary lack of housing and make a way to help those down and out.give them a hand up and a way to help them selves oup and back on there feet again. don't make service man and women with life altering challenges be disabled. look at senator duckworth. she is a double leg amputee yet it did not stop her from finding a lover and becoming a mother. she took a life altering situation for most normal typical persons and she took the lead to be the best she could be. a true red white and blue american of the female gender who server our country and suffered consequences and lived to talk about and did her own carry on and be the best she could be. regardless of cost or loss of limbs. she acts enabled to me and she has no disability that she can not work around.
