- This video is about a Makita Saw Restoration. Found this on the side of the road in a snow bank in the garbage. With just a little bit of elbow grease this great old mitre saw came back to life.

Loved this video - brought a miter saw that needs restoration - this video will help.
Have my grandpas 2401B made in 1984 (a year younger than me😂)that needs a new cord.. ordered a 14/3 only to find out it's a 16/2 so i ordered the correct one. I plan on throwing on a cutoff wheel and use it for metal. I have a 7 1/4 sliding Kobalt miter saw for wood so this will bring new life to the Makita.
It works great except the casing on the cord is cracked to pieces and the twine i insulation shows. Thing weighs a ton man...
I wish there were videos on changing out the cord but I did cord swap an old Makita hammer drill before successfully.
I have the same saw, I inherited it from my Father who bought it new. He used it for building houses for decades.
That’s really cool! Definitely a great saw that can stand the test of time!
This was gr8, thanks for posting. I just restored my Old Dewalt 250mm 10 inch Miter Saw.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Why didn't you take apart the rotating bed? You cleaned 3/4 of the chop saw
these basic makita saws are indestructable
Yes. They are. Well worth the time to clean up.
I pulled mines out today. It’s brand new in box and my father in law gave it to me a few years back.
Great video, well done old chap, 6 people dislike this? Why? Just a personal thought, the background "music" is rather distracting and totally unnecessary , but what do I know!
Thanks for explaining 😊🙏🙏🙏 perfect 👌
Nice. Good job sprucing it up for another lifetime of service.
stockton350 Thanks!! Next restoration will most likely an older Disston hand saw. I’m looking forward to it. Stay tuned!!
@@the8point511 Will do. You might try soaking rusty parts in apple cider vinegar overnight. Rust comes right off from the acid.
I’ve used that before with white vinegar but have had trouble getting a consistent finish with it. I’ll try apple cider vinegar next time for sure!
Nice!
Good work man!!!
Igot the same saw
Im from Tijuana!!!
That’s amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Hey i today just found the same on the side of the road would you believe it. I just wd40 it and its a beuty. I dunno what im ginna do with .im keeping it 😂.free absolutely free. It still has the makita blade .i reckon.never really been used .so happy.
Nice work. Looks like an LS1440 which cost about $1000 new.
Good work there mate, just picked up of these myself, but damned if I can remove the bolt holding the blade. Is it a left hand thread, ie. to undo it, you turn it clockwise?
+David Jewell that’s correct. It’s reverse thread. If it’s old and been on there for a while give it a shot of WD40 too!
I was just given this saw. Do you have a video on actually using it? If not would you be willing to do a video tutorial on proper use? Thanks
i have the same saw. its pretty beat up and im looking to give it new life. the swivel is so hard to more from 0 - 45 degrees, any tips on how to fix the problem? WD-40 ? or is there something better ?
+Brodie Bauer this one wasn’t too bad. But I got a lot of that penetrating oil between the rotating circular piece and the rest of the base. SOAK it like crazy. I would recommend trying to break it free without the motor mounted. Maybe a piece of hardwood in the blade relief slot and a dead blow hammer or rubber mallet and go at it easy. Once it breaks free, just soak it more to keep it lubed up for life. Good luck and thanks for checking out the video👍
@@the8point511 Once you break it free and soak it with WD40 how do you put the darn thing back on????? I think and I am not sure when I took it apart there was a ball bearing. Dumb question was it part of the saw or did it just magically appear???? UGH
@@anapando3449 I didn’t take the whole base off. I just got it moving and that WD40 kept it moving. You should be able to put it back together the way it came apart.
@ana pando 1 year late I'm sure you figured it out but yes underneath the saw is a Allen screw and inside is a spring and ball bearing. It located underneath the swivel handle.
I just inherited same saw, but I can't get the arm to go up! Is there a lock?
There is a lock. If I remember it’s a little flip on the top near the back. Let me know if you can’t find it. I will check this evening to be sure 👍
@@the8point511 Hi Dear I appreciate your help and quick response!! I saw a black L shape that moves in and out, but still no luck. Wondering if this is it or not. I don't see a video that shows this.
I had this exact saw, and I "restored" it. Took care of all the replaceables, cleaned it up, got her running very well!.... and a few cuts later.... while running the blade came loose off the arbor and shot into the guard. I couldnt figure out what caused it and short of a new arbor ($$$), it became too dangerous and not worth my time to use. Hopefully yours isn't doing this, just it isnt always "neglect" when tools are discarded, there can be serious structural or safety reasons for it.
JgHaverty wow. Sorry to hear that happened with your saw. I’ve been using mine quite often and seems to be holding up very well. I do always check those items before starting things up. Safety is paramount.
@@the8point511 Ive been using my saw for years but that comment scared me. What was it that made the saw come loose? Maybe I should just buy a new one. Quite concerned now.
@@anapando3449 I always make sure to keep my tools well maintained and in good working order so dangerous failures don’t occur. Safety always comes first. If your saw is too dangerous to run, buy a new one or have a professional look at it.
looks like a 2400B!!! 1985?
+Brodie Bauer you got it!
Hello bro tell me field coil connection
Zeeshan Malik sorry. I don’t understand your comment.
Calling it a restoration is a stretch. It’s more of a cleaning. There was no testing and refurbishing of the saw motor’s drive assembly. A clean saw isn’t any better if the saw can’t cut accurately.
Appreciate the feedback. The motor didn’t require restoration as you can see in the video. The base and the fence required restoration and recalibration of the fence.
