Powermatic Jointer Restoration / Save Money Buying Rusty Tools

[@BobbyDukeArts]

Great restoration Chad!

[@ManCrafting]

Be still my heart. Its Bobby Duke! Thanks bud. Let me know if you need to be picked up at the ATL next week. I’m there if you want.

[@michaelfairchild]

Tools cared for will last long time.

[@ManCrafting]

Absolutely

[@PlanetMojo]

I have roughly the same jointer (a slightly older version with a flat front on the cabinet) that was mothballed for about ten years, and has about the same amount of rust from condensation in a post frame building. I also am starting a new shop. What a coincidence! My plan was to scrape the top first with either a scraper or straight edge razor to remove the heavier rust, then use Evapo-Rust, then grind out any pitting. Nearly the same steps. Then I need to do the planer...

[@ManCrafting]

How’s the project coming along?

[@PlanetMojo]

@@ManCrafting I will be starting on the planer this week. I also have a table saw, planer, mortiser, etc. to restore. I'll be a real pro after all of that 😉

[@MinHongJiwoodstudio]

hello. I made a safety guide after watching your video. Thank you for being an inspiration to me.

[@ManCrafting]

Thanks. 🙏🏼

[@TheMuzShop]

Little bit of Elbow grease and you got a very functional working machine. Good job guys!!!👍👍

[@ManCrafting]

The Muz Shop thanks Mike. Did you get your plane tickets for Makers Central yet? I’m really looking forward to it.

[@TheMuzShop]

@@ManCrafting Yes!! I'm all set up! I'm fired up about it too. It going to be nice to see everyone again.👍👍

[@ManCrafting]

The Muz Shop awesome. Can’t wait to see you again. 👊🏼🔥👊🏼

MG Makes thanks Martin. We are really happy with the outcome.

[@MGMakes]

@@ManCrafting and rightfully so. Are you coming to MC again this year, didn't really catch you last year.

[@christofix]

thanks for sharing these great tips. It will be helpfull for a lot of people, including me!

[@ManCrafting]

Thanks for watching and taking a minute to comment. It means a lot. I hope that it does help.

[@christofix]

@@ManCrafting Yes it will, i have an older drill press withs some rusty parts who needs a clean up. I know what it means when sombody watch your videos and give you some feedback. I recently started making videos and the great comments keeps comming and that means a lot after all the hard work i put in it

[@ManCrafting]

Christofix - DIY Projects I just subbed. I’ll be perusing your videos over the next few days. The first one I’m watching looks good.

[@christofix]

@@ManCrafting oooh that is so nice of you! i realy appreciate it! thanks a lot man!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Looks way better! I built my shop on flipping tools. It can be lucrative.

[@ManCrafting]

YouCanMakeThisToo I love hearing that. Thanks for stopping by Caleb.

[@GregsGarage]

Great save!

[@ManCrafting]

Greg's Garage thanks Greg. It definitely looks a lot better.

[@ESCAGEDOWOODWORKING]

Great restoration!!

[@ManCrafting]

Thanks Eloy! How things going?

[@42Fab]

You've gotta upgrade your twisted wire cups if getting hot is causing a problem. I use dewalt's (obviously...) and never have issues.

[@ManCrafting]

I've destroyed Dewalts in the past. That's an issue with metal. Heat makes it brittle.

Great tips on the restoration

[@ManCrafting]

Specific Love Creations thanks! Especially for watching and taking a minute to comment. It means a lot. Are you coming to Joel’s Saturday or the Atlanta Woodworking Show at any point this weekend?

[@josephrichards8110]

Did you have any type of lubricant between the bed and the orbital sander?

[@ManCrafting]

That probably would have been a a good idea, but we didn’t.

[@josephrichards8110]

@@ManCrafting if it works it works. In process of restoring a 1969 powermatic PM80. Thanks for the video, lots of good tips.

[@vintagecarnews5899]

love it

[@ManCrafting]

vintage car news thanks!

[@jodiegrosklags5247]

It looks great!👍 nicely done.

[@ManCrafting]

Thanks. I appreciate the comment.

[@michaeledlin9995]

The Minwax paste wax is better than Johnsons. It holds up longer under use. Yes I have tried both .

[@ManCrafting]

Good to know.

[@doughenico8475]

This is your best video yet! The time lapse shots are great to see, as I don’t see many restoration videos showing this when removing rust in this manor. The “more you know” segment was priceless and brought back some memories. Dave did well and will do great on video if he would just create accounts and get started!

[@ManCrafting]

Thanks so much Doug. That means a lot. I hope that my videos continue to get better.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Great restoration! That surface looks amazing!

[@ManCrafting]

Bruce A. Ulrich thanks Bruce. I appreciate it. We were really happy with the outcome.

[@phunkissartisticcreations2316]

Great job Chad, that bed came back so well and looks like new again. It's always an extra bonus when you can help out a friend and thanks for the tip about not heating up the cup grinder, cup grinder, cup grinder, cup grinder, cup grinder.😜

[@ManCrafting]

🤣🤣🤣

[@ManCrafting]

It was a fun day and we got a decent video out of it. I learned that from one of the abrasive companies at FabTech. Since doing that I rarely walk away with wires sticking out of my pants, shirts or face.

[@yellowmuginc]

Why has nobody ever told me that cup grinder tip?

[@ManCrafting]

Yellow Mug Inc. Good question. It’s one of those things that makes sense once you hear it, but nobody had ever told me until FabTech last Sep.

[@CammiesGarage]

Nice work. The time-lapse shots were cool.

[@ManCrafting]

Thanks Cam. I was glad that the rust reacted that way. I knew it would be cool if it was obvious how it was changing.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Nice restoration, sweet jointer! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@ManCrafting]

Thanks Fred. It’s a really nice jointer. Not the kind of tool you find in the average weekend woodworker shop. 👊🏼👍🏼

[@walterkeeth5060]

Okay gentlemen you will find out that your angle grinder made the table have dips in it. I know when I did my Powermatic 66 10" cabinet table saw I did. Go to a place where they sell Granite or Marble for counters. You'll need a piece that is minimum 2" in thick x 15" to 18" in length and 12" wide with a finished surface on one side. This will be you flat plain. Use a spray adhesive put two pieces of 220 to start. Make sure that you put a little lube on your table DO NOT PUT DOWNWARD PRESSER just push and pull and you'll relevel your jointer.

[@ManCrafting]

Fortunately we didn’t have that issue. Thanks for the thoughtful and well explained thoughts. I’m sure it will help someone from having that issue.

[@SCRAPWOODTOCRAFTWOOD]

That's a great restoration looks brand new great job mate

[@ManCrafting]

Thanks. The rust was way deeper than we initially thought, so this was a little more than just removing rust, but it came out great in the end. Thanks for watching and taking a minute to comment.

[@rickhickman2730]

Everything stayed flat with that cup brush being used?

[@ManCrafting]

Rick Hickman it did. The brush is softer than the steel.

[@ForestWoodworks]

I didn't see any in the links, was that regular sand paper discs, or a sanding cloth specifically for metal? Want to make sure I'm using the right product. Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@ManCrafting]

This would work. Very high grits so it doesn’t scratch up the metal.amzn.to/2LqXZig

[@nebraskaman8247]

I've had nothing but issues from a grizzly industrial product. My wife and I drove over 5 hours, and spent over $1200 at the Grizzly showroom in Missouri. Honestly the showroom is amazing. The product I got...not so much. I've had over 10 separate issues including defective, and back ordered parts sent to me. Grizzly did offer me $100 to keep the pos 😂😂😂. I like high quality tools, and won't hesitate to spend the money on them. Powermatic, Jet, SCM, felder, festool, saw stop etc. I like decent hand tools such as snap on, Milwaukee, dewalt, and I even think husky is decent due to being able to swap tools easily when they break one the job. We even have some harbor freight tools that I think are very very good. My experience with grizzly has been unsatisfactory at best. Not to mention they will not post my review on their actual website. Hopefully my review will help someone looking for equipment.

[@yellowmuginc]

Looks awesome! Luckily my tools are not rusted, but I'm totally picking one of my big pieces of equipment and polishing the tabletop like that! Thanks for the insight!

[@ManCrafting]

Definitely, don't let them get that way. lol Put some paste wax on them occasionally.

[@robertevans6481]

Well done guys...what tool was that cup grinder,cup grinder,cup grinder,cup grinder....lol

[@ManCrafting]

Robert Evans 🤣🤣🤣. It s a twisted wire cup brush, but that was too much of a tongue twister for Dave. 😁

[@JimBeshears]

If anybody busts your chops now, just tell them you like that speckled patina. Great job!

[@dessertman1181]

Rust removal not restoration looks better

[@ManCrafting]

I disagree. Rust removal absolutely fits the definition. Restoration nounres·to·ra·tion\ˌre-stə-ˈrā-shən\ 1 : an act of restoring or the condition of being restored: such as a : a bringing back to a former position or condition :

[@billystray7007]

i wouldn't call it a restoration, just a rust removal

[@ManCrafting]

Billy Stray ok.

[@Ramsdl52]

I guess at your age you're not longer worried about using PPE

[@ManCrafting]

I wear it for most things. Sometimes when I’m on video I may neglect it for the sake of the shot. Probably not a good idea.
