Great machine and great effort! You can give me some confidence to take upon me the restauraties of an old planing machine, not as old as this though, I think from the 1980’s. Do you have any idea how much hours you put into this?
It's running about 50% faster than it is supposed to, which is why it is bogging down.. Also you need to get the coolant system put back together ASAP, at the speed you are running it the blade will rapidly lose its temper from heat buildup, among other things.
@@AncientEgyptArchitecture the mechanism on this saw is Racine’s patent, and they specify that these should run at 120 strokes per minute, this one runs at 100. I definitely want the coolant running though.
Thats a great restoration, once you get it dialed in it will be a good workhorse. It's running about the right speed and the blade will last for ever as it's lifted on the back stroke.
For welding cast iron I've used 7014. I noticed your Lincoln welder is a European version. That is the top is flat and not tombstone like they are here in the states. The swa arm has had some major welding repair. You could probably blend and work it down with your angle grinder and a flap disc. Overall a very neat saw. AL B.
I have the remains of a smaller beautiful saw of similar vintage, but it's been thoroughly abused in every way you can think of. Almost all the wear surfaces are at least 1/16 below spec, one of the previous owners converted it to v belt and disposed of the entire clutch and automatic shut of system in the process, the counterweights are missing as well, and at some point the machine was clearly dropped horribly, because the saw frame is broken where the connecting rod (which is not only sloppy from wear but is also a shop made replacement part) attaches to it, with the pivot replaced with a bent piece of plate screwed onto the casting. The base of the saw also clearly broke in it's fall, because the entire frame has been replaced with a chunk of heavy C channel. The two ends of the original casting have been shaved down and riveted to the C channel to hold them together. Even so, it's a beautiful machine. Here's a video of one that's intact and operational, although it appears to have a replacement connecting rod as well, so I guess that's a common problem on them. th-cam.com/video/MlUSBozr8D8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=SimonNuttall I'm hoping to at least get mine repaired enough to run it on electric, and maybe some day I can manufacture replacement parts to get it back to it's former glory.
Great old machines I do like, stroke speed needs some attention, but those cams should control the amount cut depth per stroke. If I’m reading the blade correctly at 14 teeth per Inch, that for cutting soft Iron, need 32 teeth per inch for steel. Thanks, I will be happy to view more work on that machine. 😊
The cast iron on the arm that moves looks pretty rough on each end. Did it break at one time and then repaired? Or was that there since the casting of the part? Cheers from Regina.
@@danhei good eye, it seems to have been broken long ago but someone did a very thorough repair using cast iron welding rod and a torch. Not the prettiest but it should be plenty strong
Hi, love to watch a man who does not wear rubber gloves , a real Engineer. Many thanks from Nr Liverpool UK.
It looks like you’re pretty enthusiastic about this one! Nice to see another cast relic given an overhaul and put back into service
I like first then I watch it ❤😊
Best channel on the tube 🎉
Nice work ! I like how you converted it back to line shaft .
As a fellow antique hacksaw, I approve of this video.
Why do I sense you are having a ton of fun with these projects. Could it be the smile on your face? 👍👍👍
Great job, works well.👍

@DidierN-qv1fs I’d guess a total of 40 or so hours. Cheers!
@@castironmachines that’s quite fast, I would have estimated much more!
Greetings from PEI, Canada!
Just found your channel ... good stuff!
Glad you are wearing your safety toque!
Canadian content rules!
Nice job on the restoration
She is a cool old machine
Nice work Sir. I like the colour choice too.
beautiful workmanship thx

Great restoration. Good to watch your attention to detail.
A beautiful machine. Wow. Great work.

Hello from Siesta Key Florida
There was one of these in shop class when I was in college.
That is a really interesting oil can.
27:45 I'm not a welder, but what are those flames coming out of the bottom of the welder unit?
I saw the same arcing within or outer leads.
I think you might find around 60 RPM is easier to deal with despite the machine recommendation. Nice job on what looks to be a very well made machine.
At 27:50 or so is that flames coming from the bottom of your welder? Sure looks like it. I just subscribed I like what you're doing . JeffinMaine
Might be a reflection near the camera.
@@ahooper99 Yes after I said that I realized that it was likely a reflection.

Nice job, but it looks to be running somewhat fast 👍
Hi, nice video. Does this saw cut on the back stroke rather than the forward one or is this an illusion from the monitor
@@David-s1b4o yes, back stroke. They were sold as a “draw stroke” saw

Goop and nonsense...not exactly the words I'd be using!🤣
Nice machine!
Mine is a Marvel#2 I think cuts great an runs at my current work speed lol

Do you know whatever happened with the white 1958 Ford?
