Күн бұрын

This restoration was on a 1940s "The Model" swing saw made by Irvington Machine Works of Portland, Oregon, USA. I was unable to locate a specific patent related to this saw, but swing saws were popular even in the late 1800s in sawmills and lumber yards for quick cross-cutting.
The swing saw was sent to me by a viewer after he purchased it in an auction in Minnesota, USA. Once I saw it, I knew I had to have it. The danger level is too high for it not to be mine!
For this restoration I needed to remake a brass angle indicator through acid etching. I also had to create a custom bushing for the saw blade as the saw arbour is an odd size. The machine tags on both the saw and the original electric motor were left alone with only a little clean-up. All other parts were completely disassembled, de-rusted, sandblasted and painted.
The saw arbour had more modern roller bearings whereas all other bearing surfaces used babbitt. Luckily they all seem to be in good enough shape as to not need repair or replacing.
The new saw blade for this tool is one with a negative rake. This means the teeth of the blade are hooked in a backwards direction in relation to the the direction of spinning. Negative-raked teeth on circular saw blades are the safest choice for swing saws, radial arm saws, and sliding miter saws as they have less of a chance of grabbing the wood and driving saw toward your body and face.
Personally, I find this tool to be one of the most terrifying to use out of all the ones in my collection.
I would like to thank Evapo-Rust for sponsoring this video.

A very nice machine, and, as usual, a nice restoration. Regarding many of the comments, the swing saw is no more dangerous than a molder, jointer, table saw, shaper, or many other tools in a millwork shop of a few years ago. I operated all of the machines in the shop at one time or another, and I still have not only all of my fingers, but even the first joint and finger nail on each one. We did not use push blocks, finger boards, or blade guards. It is just a matter of paying attention to the work at hand.

@Doogie Carpit Burger Good to know that he got away with just that. Sounds like he could have lost the whole hand. Table saws are scary because you can't see the cutting edge, it just kinda pops out of the wood. It does not help that most people remove all blade guards and such off them as well. With that said, the scariest table saw i have seen was an industrial auto feed one. The auto feeder chain had pretty major teeth on it and ran continuously while being hand-loaded. So yeah, don't wear long sleeves around that one for sure!
@aaronm4706
@aaronm4706 3 жыл бұрын
@Doogie Carpit Burger Table saws are mostly safe, if you use common sense and follow some simple safety practices. Most people take them off, but those blade guards and riving knives really should be left on. At the very least, the riving knife should be left on. The most common table saw injury is cause by a board twisting and getting pulled (violently yanked is a more accurate description) into the blade. This causes the board to pull your hand over the blade. It happens so fast that you have no time to react. It's over before you ever realize it's happening. A riving knife significantly helps prevents that from happening by acting as a barrier to keep the board from turning/twisting into the blade. The guard mainly serves as a reminder/warning that your hand is getting too close to the blade. It protects the blade from some angles, but if you are being stupid and doing dangerous things, that guard is not a guarantee of your safety. If you are not prepared to use common sense and give that saw the respect it demands (they don't ask, they get it or else), then yeah. Stay away from them and really anything else with moving parts. You don't have to fear them, just respect them.

So at first I was like.. a swing saw? Does that go on one of those helicopter treecutting things? And then at the end I saw the full horror-movie, decapitation, arm-severing, bloodbath waiting to happennyness of the swing saw that surely must have bee invented by an American and the reason there is no patent is that the guy who invented it was buried in five seperat boxes after demonstrating it.

If you only think it's American based on how dangerous it is, I recommend watching some of the Absolute History videos on the Edwardian and Victorian "hidden killers" The British spend entire eras making stuff that would kill you while just hanging out at home o_O

Yup, that would be a nice gesture towards "safety" (I think having one of these in the building would make most heath and safety managers have a heart attack) so letting go swings the blade away from you decisively. For added fun, you could have a spring for it to land against so it bounces back towards you 😁

I went and looked it up. Irvington Machine Works was a saw company based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan, who had a factory in Portland, Oregon. In 1969 they merged with the Moore Dry Kiln Company to become Irvington-Moore, and now they make big kilns for drying lumber. Being from Portland, I was curious.

I remember using one of these saws at a joiners shop where I did my apprenticeship. It was used as a docking saw for the larger planks of timber (cutting the timber to rough lengths for dressing to size). Our swinging saw was set well back with the bench being not flat but angled upwards to keep the timber in place against the back fence and to accommodate the swing of the saw. It was commonsense to stand to the handle side of the saw and use your left hand to pull the saw outwards ensuring you were well clear of the saw blade. I do not recall anyone hurting themselves on this saw and I quickly developed arm muscles to pull the saw outwards. Ah the good ol' days...

I saw a gorgeous swing saw just this afternoon at a local antique mall - I never heard of one before - it was fixed to the wall such that I'm abundantly confident that that's where the machine was originally installed and has never moved since whenever (historical town so who knows how many different businesses operated in that building). There was no price tag on the machine...but I'm probably going to call and see if they'll sell it... reiterating what others have expressed...it looks way too dangerous for me to not have one... especially since I live alone.

As a child of perhaps 5 [1953?] I accompanied my father to the local box factory to pick up some hand saws he was having sharpened. As a treat, he took me into the sawmill area where I saw a huge swing saw in operation cutting big Ponderosa pine logs to length. The blade was perhaps 6 feet in diameter, and the logs didn't have a chance. I was very impressed...
