LIVE!? - Welding Bandsaw Blades & Startrite Saw

[@The_dislike_guy]

5 years on and this video is *_STILL LIVE_* Old Tony, your dedication is amazing

[@FrenchGuyCooking]

I can't believe how creative this channel is. There're so many lessons to be learnt for many ( me included )

[@troyna77]

sometimes he starts explaining a cavet and then i realize how i can use that is my daily work flow. grant it i not a cnc jedi master like tony, but rather the jar jar binks from the macguyver school of engineering. keep the good works tony u2 alex.

[@toddsmash]

For sure mate! Funny story... I watch your videos because of TOT making the pasta maker for you!

[@TheNicoderm]

Honestly I can't believe how creative your channel is, you're like the French version of Alton Brown for me.

[@VailsMom]

Many thanks, Alex, for sending me to This Old Tony. I would never have found him without you. And thanks for the great content, good food, interesting builds, sense of humor, problem solving and video editing on your channel, too. I can see why you and TOT wanted to collaborate.

[@mastheadmike]

Second for second your videos have some of the best production value of any KZbinr out there. Between the live commenting and the Möbius strip - if there was a ”fifth wall” for video editing. You broke it.

[@joeteejoetee]

Tony made me laugh when he edited in the "subscribe" to the band-saw settings, and LOL at the (ancient) ASBESTOS setting on the dial. But the calm set-up with the V-Block and Blue Sharpie and then seeing the blade come around with ink on the opposite side and then the WORD: Möbius was LMAOROTFL, and more when Tony showed the completed metal Escher image. BRAVO TONY !!!

[@UCanDoIt2Mike]

Most entertaining channel on The Tube... You had me at Mobius!!!!!

[@efivip93]

agree. f you want however some more, check out "ave". he is fun as well.

[@PeterWMeek]

The trouble with Mobius bandsaw blades is that half the time they are cutting back into the guides.

[@SuperAWaC]

so he didn't have you until the very end of the video?

[@jayzenitram9621]

When I tried that saw trick at the end, my clock started running backwards. I'm not sure what that meant.

[@glennlawrie-smith8570]

Jay Zenitram It means that you were thinking about Grace Hopper while making the Möbius strip.

I totally LOVE your kind of humor. These videos made my day!

[@AndTheCorrectAnswerIs]

I have tried brazing and silver soldering bandsaw blades, and after lots of trial and error, mistakes, and wasted time, I found that the secret was....I went on Ebay and bought a blade welder. Hope this tip helps someone.

[@StefanGotteswinter]

Nice machine, A vertical bandsaw is one of the best addition to the shop. For a metal cutting bandsaw nothing beats solid bandsawguides. Either hardened toolsteel or carbide. Yours look a bit worn ;) The run smoother than roller guides and you dont roll chips into the bearing/blade. Btw: Matthias Wandel disaproved the three wheel bandsaw. Btw2: Selling a shaper is a major crime in most European countries.

[@ThisOldTony]

That explains the strange behaviour. Buyer showed up in a black ski mask and one of those voice changer boxes. I didn't say anything at the time, figured it was just their European flair. ;)

[@canberradogfarts]

Black market shapers. Really? Why is that Stefan?

[@lolingatU1539]

What if I just used cast iron?

[@RobertSzasz]

I'd love to see someone make a solid carbide guide with the side guides ported for coolant so it forms a hydrodynamic bearing.

[@grantsamara6905]

@@snaplash Yeah, quadrapoles are nice and all, but they don't quite give the saw that relativistic speed needed for time travel. A strong parallel electric field eliminates the need for a motor in your saw.

[@PhilVandelay]

I can't believe I fell for that live thing. And nice job on the blades, the first time I tried this I was convinced it's bad practice and bound to fail, but to my amazement the blade worked for like 20 minutes

[@risfutile]

Phil Vandelay that comment made me check out your channel... love it! you need more subscribers!

[@o0ThunderGod0o]

Just Subbed!

[@taiwanluthiers]

I think easiest way to weld this is use those purpose designed resistance welder, I tried gas welding and while I only welded training sections (used a broken and too short bimetal blade for this) I have mixed success, and it's very skill intensive since there's a very fine line between a good joint and melting holes through it. I found it better to just get barely a puddle on it, and join both sides than to try and melt the blade all the way through to join it. It also helps to melt the blade a little more, and push the joint together to weld it. However you'll have to anneal it good and it won't be as strong as the unwelded saw body itself. Seems success in welding bandsaw blade is mixed with TIG, MIG, or even stick (has anyone tried to stick weld bandsaw blades?) It sounds like a good thing to put on a welder resume, "successfully welded bandsaw blades with an oxyacetylene torch". I mean if you can weld this you can weld anything. For carbon steel seems better to braze it, but bimetal won't take braze alloys at all (it snaps clean off).

[@thisnicklldo]

4 dimensional band sawing can be done with other blades, but I recommend Escher brand - Swiss and expensive, but much better distortion of reality.

[@LaterMeansBrick]

thisnicklldo I tried Giger and Beksinski blades in the past. Do great at cutting through existential angst. I'm still getting ptsd flashbacks.

[@RalfStephan]

Escher was Dutch

[@CharlyKrahmer]

Cut with a Schröedinger once, dropped and lost the final piece and I never knew if it was actually cut. Next I'll try Occam's razor; it's said to most probably do a easy job.

[@darrylnichols9747]

After 30 years of working on large bandsaws in saw mills, it still amazes me that welds in 13" wide and 40 to 50 foot long bands can run with welded teeth and cracks for 10 to 12 hours and still hold. That"s not a normal run but it happens. The best saws are from Udaholm in Sweden.

[@Mahrooby]

so, when you're live and can't edit the video, you just cheat and edit the timestream?

[@ThePoesn]

Why do you need a saw, you always cut steel by hand or sneezing? The möbius bit at the end got me. Thanks for all your effort.

Congratulations. You have managed to find that niche of the internet which relates to machining and fabrication through dad humor. 250000 subscribers and sometimes your mom. Something tells me there will be more. Edit: And, as of now, 21 people who have no idea how useful a Mobius saw blade really is. Pearls before swine.

[@markschweter6371]

Carson McMahon: The biggest benefit of a "Mobius Bandsaw" TM, Is it doubles the blade's lifetime because it has to go around twice to get back to its starting orientation! 😏😉😜😎

[@carsonmcmahon8830]

Also, as it has only one side and one edge, construction is greatly simplified and it used far less material...

[@markschweter6371]

Carson McMahon : Good point! However, heat treating and final sharpening take twice as long. 😉😜😎

[@joshuareynolds8134]

I've been following this channel for ages now and know to expect jokes, but that last bit about turning the blade 180° caught me way off guard. I'm crying with laughter! Best KZbin channel for sure. Thanks for all the time you put in Tony. It's inspiring as a hobbyist machinist myself!

[@UCanDoIt2Mike]

Not sure why you need a bandsaw when your finger snapping (11:10) cuts pretty straight!!!!!

[@alfredorojas5525]

I think Tony got that technique from Chuck Norris

[@dasstackenblochen9250]

Ah you see, this is a common misconception. Snaprifting is not a cutting process, because the space-acoustic-wave created by the snap creates a miniscule rift in the crystalline interconnection of the workpiece, momentarily tearing a rift in the material. Since the rift is not filled with air, it is practically a vacuum, and ambient air is forced into the rift, pushing it apart. That's why the technique cuts almost in a perfect plane perpendicular to Ampere's right-hand rule normal vector.

[@commetsoup]

[@UCanDoIt2Mike]

[@ralphwaters8905]

I have an Enco 14" band saw *with* blade welder (240V) and I'm thinking of TIG welding my blades to see how they compare. One thing my saw has over yours is adjustable guides. The back support (above) and the sides (below) are 3 separate parts, and it's a snap to adjust for different blade width or thickness. Cloning this head would give your life new meaning. I thought about replacing it with rollers but the hardened surfaces are doing great after 20 years, so no need. I absolutely *LOVED* the mobius gag at the end, and the Penrose square was priceless. God how I love your channel.

I have the 24" model of the same saw. Lovely British engineering. I have just bought a 4" toolmakers vice. Using the guides on the table I slide the vice between them. I have just cut up some 1/4" angle to make some brackets. The pieces are true to within 0.002" - almost as good as a milling machine. I love my saw! Just changed the oil in the gearbox. It was like cold butter! Probably not changed in 40 years!

[@Chris-du7hi]

One trick for getting the ends fit up is to hold the blade blank in kind of a big U with the cut ends together. Then twist one of the ends over so the two ends of the blade are laying flat on each other buy the teeth are pointing away from each other. Hit both ends on the grinder simultaneously. When you match them up to weld it doesn't matter if the ends are square or not, because they with be opposite angles and fit up regardless.

[@thebeststooge]

Tony is having interlaced artifacts and you only see them less when your video card handles the pulldown when in full screen. When he moves his hands fast you can see the interlaced lines even when in full screen for a split second here or there if your eyes are sensitive to I to P or watching I on a P monitor as mine are. If you watch in a box (non fullscreen) as I mostly do it tears a ton and so much so I feel a bit nauseated so if I want to watch Tony's stuff (his are not the only I to P videos on YT) I have to go to fullscreen where the effect is lessened.

the viewer counting and the likes are handled on different servers that are out of sync

[@intjonmiller]

Some people hit "like" when someone they trust to put up consistently good videos publishes, so they've "liked" it before the ad is done and the view is counted. Also, as Oli said, they are handled by different processes, and the video is propagated across numerous servers in different locations so they can feed it fast enough to the many viewers that will be watching it, and those different servers tally their own views and sync them up with other servers at set intervals, rather than constantly which would be ridiculously more taxing on the servers themselves and bandwidth.

[@JimmysTractor]

A neat math trick to convert 3200ft/min to 36mph real quuck in your head. 60mph is a mile a minute is 5280 feet a minute ÷ 60 is(hmmm 100 - 720/60) 88 ft/min so 3200÷88 is 32 with 12x32 or 320+64 384 left is 24 more than 360 which is 4 and 12 left with 24 is 36/88 or 36 and 9/22 mph. I didn't share the 9/22 with my wife and kids (I told AvE he could be a family show too if he wanted to). Wife said it was a neat trick. Just thought I'd share the 2-3 second visualization used to go from 3200ft/min to 36mph with easy math in your head.

[@reprapmlp]

or, 1000 metres per minute = 60 km/h which is not too far from 36 mph ... no remembering how many flipping feet per mile.

[@JimmysTractor]

reprapmlp 5280 silly. In highschool, a lap was "the 440" and we all knew it took 4 laps to make a mile, so 440x3ft to get 1320(most know that ftom when you go to the county strip to check your minivan times without getting a ticket) then you multiply by 4 to get 5280 we mile. All these numbers are easy to come by if you just reflect on daily life. Everyone that's had a 12oz coke has surely noticed the 355ml on the can, so that gives you everything you need for volume. Now for someone like tony that may want to convert km to miles, the 127T and 50T change gears are all he needs to remind him of the 25.4mm to 1in and you just go from there. These conversions are all out in plain sight. Even the slow kids in highschool knew that car and driver always put (62.1mph) next to the 0-100kmh times. You can usually think of little things in everyday life that give you all the info you need to write a 30th edition machinerys handbook.
