ohhh, a set for setting the tooth allignment! all this time, I was thinking it was the saw it's self! so wondering what all those moving bits were for, was confusing. I'm GLAD you like to USE the tool, so we get to see it in action. that's important for the enjoyment of the video for me.
I kept thinking of the person who invented this thing, all the parts positioned and moving together to achieve the goal. Wish I had an ounce of that brilliance. Thanks for posting the rescue
That stuff is engineered with adjustable positions for everything. Kind of like Erector Sets and the engineering toys you could get in the 80s, 90s. In all reality these tools are extremely simple. Made when manufacturing wasn’t as fast. They had to be simple to turn out production quickly. Plus the simple designs last the longest. Not always the best but simple and reliable as a hammer.
I'm amazed how a more than likely piece of in one's eye's garbage can be brought back to show history so well, You are very talented keep up the great work and I will keep watching!
The way you show every part as it comes off, I'm convinced that you started making these videos just so you could look back and see how it all goes together.
I looked at that thing as you initially displayed it and wondered, "Band Saw? No kidding. How the hell can that be?" Then I realized, I missed the word "set". Nevertheless, for a bunch of castings made 120 years ago, that thing was in almost perfect condition, and look at that old dude get her done. WOW! You brought back an important fact. We've been making GREAT tools for a long time.
Engineers and tool makers 150yrs ago designed and manufactured equipment so the average tradesman could repair it easily. All the tools would have been expensive, but likely to be a once in a lifetime investment in their career. Thanks for this very interesting restoration. I didn't feel deprived at all, when I realised there was no head-banging, mind-numbing modern "music".
It’s sad nowadays but tools are engineered to fail. Because I company that sells you a bandsaw and you have it for life isn’t making money very long and soon going out of business. Whereas a company that sells you a decent bandsaw that lasts 5 years... they’re going to sell quite a few of them. And everything is electronic now and electronic is easy to set a predetermined fail. Resistors life span is easily predictable. You want it to last five years? Put a few resistors in that have a five year life before their components break down. You’ve now got steady customers who are regularly coming back. Same with autos.
Chancellor You're exactly right, I have woodworking machines from the 30s, 40s, + 50s , with proper care I think they can literally last forever, I consider myself a temporary caretaker of the machines I have. I think it must have been in the 50s when they came up with "planned obsolescence"
Hey I found one of those in a old warehouse we tore down,been sitting on a shelf in my shop for over 15 yrs,no one that saw it could figure out what it was,now we know.thanks its in working order very cool
What a score! Not so much need of one these days as pretty much everything is bi-metal and most of us don’t resharpen our own blades but that is a beauty you have there.
Nice video mate..... hey Casey Gibbons this machine sets the teeth to where they have to sit in order to cut wood.... have a look at most saw blades and you will see that each tooth is bent the opposite to the one next to it and that's what this machine does... it's not for cutting wood but to align the teeth on the blade. Thanks for sharing Hand Tool Rescue I love seeing the old stuff come to life :).
My family owned a sawmill just on the edge of London, England, from 1895. As a little boy, visiting the sawmill with my father, I thought the big circular saws used for slicing the trees into planks were the most exciting thing ever. Some of them were made by Disston..
Wow great video! I just inherited this exact same thing from my grandfather. His father used it in his Greenwich, CT cabinet shop from the 20's through the mid century! Ours is mounted on a wooden board and still operates.
I always enjoy watching your work. This tool in particular impressed me by the complexity of its parts. Just imagine, some anonymous engineer back then came up with all those strange parts with their unusual geometries to create a functional tool, and he didn't have CAD, nor a computer, not even a simple 4 function calculator. Every bit was done with drawings and calculations on paper. It's pretty impressive, and your restoration does justice to the brilliant mind that first devised it. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. You do very good work, and it's a lot of fun to watch.
Hard work, grit, determination and your own 3 hands! 15:00. Though your spare hand was distinctly less masculine than your normal 2. This was the perfect video to sit down to with a screaming hot bowl of spicy Minestrone soup!
All bandsaw setting tools that I've seen in production so far (power or manual) have a support table in the back of the setting tool. The best setup had adjustments on the X axis of the setting tool, allowing the bandsaw to remained perfectly flat whatever how wide they were. Nice restauration by the way. Now, I just need a reason to drive two hours to get at the closest Princess Auto for a bucket of Evaporust... 😀 Keep up your good work.
.....watched almost all of em.....need to take a break, haha...I think I have a problem, hello my name is Rich and I watch too may restore videos......it's bad when... this video is over a year old THESE ARE AWESOME!
Geez, so many comments about how "they don't build them like they used too!" They built crappy tools back then too... it's just that they didn't last long enough for us to see them. Don't scoff at every tool you see on the shelf at Walmart saying it's all crap and ignore the modern manufacturers who produce tough and reliable products.
When it was the 80s everyone bitched about “damn new vehicles and their stupid pollution pumps and charcoal canisters! They don’t make em like they did in the 60s! 2005, “these damn new trucks are garbage! Remember in the 80s when they were simple and you could work on them yourself! They don’t make them like 80s trucks anymore!” Every decade has garbage products and amazing products that will stand the test of time. They still make them like they used to quality wise if you look. Thing is now they’re a hell of a lot nicer and more efficient too!
Things in the past weren't necessarily "better" in any sort of way, I agree. I would add that, nowadays, any tool might be great, powerful and accurate, yet it will often break down after a certain time of use, due to planned obsolescence... something that was far harder to achieve with cruder, stronger tools of way back when. That's probably why we still find tools over a hundred years old that can be restored and reused. I doubt we will find many recent (21st century that is) tools in one hundred years from now, exactly for the reason I mention here above
To add to this, I don't think a lot of people realize how much better modern tools perform than old tools. Like come on, they had manual drills back then lol. Even in the 1950's power tools were huge, heavy, and weak compared to what we have now. Imagine building shit with a 20lb corded drill that only spins forward and flat head screws. I already want to quit just thinking about it.
This was so much fun to watch. The sounds of the tools on metal, seeing the tool come apart then be reassembled. Great stuff. Did make me nervous though when your loose floppy sleeves came close to the spinning wire brush, saw a guy get sucked into one of those once. He was torn up pretty bad, hate to see you get hurt.
Had to look up an old video to remind myself how good this channel used to be. Fantastic adjustable wrench you've got. Should reproduce those and sell them. I like that it's drop forged steel and has a nice rubber dipped handle. No brass nonsense and not one of those useless 90° things.
I have this same gizmo in my shop that came in a lot of chisels and gouges I bought off Craig’s List 5 years ago. I’ve been trying to figure out what it was, now I see. Lol, I was considering contacting you to see if you would want to restore it, if you knew what it was. I see that you do. Mine seems functional, except the blade “lifter” on the out feed side was snapped off. Mine does still have a factory paper tag on one of the adjustment screws saying not to adjust it…. Lol. Thanks for solving the mystery!
I wasn't aware that there were bandsaws back in the 1860's, but if there were they had the tool to set it. This was in remarkable condition wasn't it? Again, great video. Regards.
Hey, that was an excellent rescue. I enjoyed watching, old tools are dear to my heart. The spring remake was a bit amerture. You might have used a piece of piano wire. But you really did do a good job. Thanks for sharing. I have watched all your videos and am looking forward to Future rescues.
I really like these videos, i only started watching them recently but i have not seen any better than these. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos and thanks for inspiring me to fix up some tools myself (my tool count: 1(need to find more)). :D
I find the simple tools fascinating and also great to fix up with the small amount of tools i have. If you were able to find a collection of small tools like screwdrivers, hammers, wrenches and hand saws maybe fitting them into an episode might be nice. But really, i will watch anything you fix up. Thanks again for the great videos.
Amazing bit of kit. Love mechanical apparatus and how it works. I'll say one thing though, that third hand hasn't had nearly as tough a paper round as the other two. 😉
After doing some research into the Disston company which was formed in 1840 and produced saws. They made various setters and straighteners. I would say that the 28 is a model no.
that's a "kerf" reset tool. Kerf: The narrow channel left behind by the saw, and (relatedly) the measure of its width, which depends on several factors: the width of the saw blade; the set of the blade's teeth; the amount of wobble created during cutting; and the amount of material pulled out of the sides of the cut. Although the term "kerf" is often used informally, to refer simply to the thickness of the saw blade, or to the width of the set, this can be misleading, because blades with the same thickness and set may create different kerfs. For example, a too-thin blade can cause excessive wobble, creating a wider-than-expected kerf. The kerf created by a given blade can be changed by adjusting the set of its teeth with a tool called a saw tooth setter.
Tu manda muito bem meu amigo ,deixa a desejar em algumas coisas mas são quase imperceptível mas nota mil para o seu trabalho .direto do Rio de Janeiro (Brasil )
Though initially the pins were somewhat constipated... in the end, this device has more slick moves than the entire history of EX-LAX! Dug the spring innovation the most. The Patienter would have been proud of the found cure for it's missing or weakend original. 73017
I just found the exact same item at a rummage sale. Didn't know what it was, but it looked interesting. I did a google search with "antique hand crank", then minus-ing everything it wasn't! So this thing straightens teeth on a band saw. huh!
This just came up in my feed 7 years after it was made, and it still holds up! I wonder if this machine can be used to set other types of saws, with adjustments or alternate gear sets or other attachments?

how did I not notice it
sgbarn haha, I think he has something "different" in every video
I love seeing how “clean” his workbench was 5 yrs ago compared to today!
Imagine my surprise after seeing it compared to now!
Can't wait for his Intro to say" starring questionable combustionprone workbench" or something along these lines...
ohhh, a set for setting the tooth allignment! all this time, I was thinking it was the saw it's self! so wondering what all those moving bits were for, was confusing. I'm GLAD you like to USE the tool, so we get to see it in action. that's important for the enjoyment of the video for me.
i thought the same thing as you lol.....how does this saw wood?!
Casey Gibbons l
I was thinking the same thing. What does a band saw need the horizontal bits for? At the end, I realized it was a set. Good call, sir.
Tizona Amanthia such a pretty profile pic
meow!
I didn’t realize exactly how this thing works until almost the very end.
A great restoration.
I kept thinking of the person who invented this thing, all the parts positioned and moving together to achieve the goal. Wish I had an ounce of that brilliance. Thanks for posting the rescue
Likwise.
I kept thinking it wasn't designed by someone distracted by a glowing screen!
...Another thing that kept running through my mind was the movie "Hugo".
Agreed, from a time where people weren't distracted by smartphones every 5 minutes.
They just got distracted by a newspaper instead...

In a world of disposable everything, you do us all a service by fixing these wonderful tools,thank you
As always, a wonderfully honest restoration. No makeover, up-cycle, or fake chrome!
Incredible. I'm from France. I'm a carpenter. I have never seen a such tool. Thank you !
I love that it will work for another 150 years.
I'm amazed how a more than likely piece of in one's eye's garbage can be brought back to show history so well, You are very talented keep up the great work and I will keep watching!

In some cases, companies actually released service manuals to walk people through common repairs and maintenance tasks.
I think I found a new favorite Zen channel you can just relax and watch this all day don't have to concentrate on it at all.
Also check out Almazan Kitchen
I agree! I’m addicted now!
What a crazy number of castings on a small tool. Super cool.
I love machinery of this type, because it's at the right complexity that I can recreate it myself, no wiring or programming required.
Hey I found one of those in a old warehouse we tore down,been sitting on a shelf in my shop for over 15 yrs,no one that saw it could figure out what it was,now we know.thanks its in working order very cool
The mechanical elegance of machinery like this really floats my boat.
I was so lost until the very end. As with all your videos, I enjoyed every minute of it
Fabulous. Only found your channel about a month ago and you have brought with it a ray of sunshine into my life! Cheers.
Thank you! Welcome.
What a score! Not so much need of one these days as pretty much everything is bi-metal and most of us don’t resharpen our own blades but that is a beauty you have there.
I'm six minutes into this video and already I'm so glad it's you who's putting this thing back together and not me. Can't wait to see it work!

Great rehab, I like the way you show what they do after you're done, keep them coming and thanks for sharing!

I love old tools and equipment. I have a few Stanely hand planes, a Disston crosscut saw and a hand full of hatchets. Preserving history is great.
watching these videos randomly, can tell how old by the cleanliness of the bench :)
That tool is a work of art . well done sir.
Wow great video! I just inherited this exact same thing from my grandfather. His father used it in his Greenwich, CT cabinet shop from the 20's through the mid century! Ours is mounted on a wooden board and still operates.
With your help I discovered and learn a world of ancien tools. Thank you for your lessons .

Was baffled at first but now understand the meaning of the tool. Great restoration
Ok. Watching you set up the machine for use. Best ever!!
Hard work, grit, determination and your own 3 hands! 15:00. Though your spare hand was distinctly less masculine than your normal 2. This was the perfect video to sit down to with a screaming hot bowl of spicy Minestrone soup!
mmmm...spicy.
Yeah, it's almost the end of March and we just got blasted with 55 cm of snow so soup and your video were perfect! Oh and the project was cool too!
All bandsaw setting tools that I've seen in production so far (power or manual) have a support table in the back of the setting tool. The best setup had adjustments on the X axis of the setting tool, allowing the bandsaw to remained perfectly flat whatever how wide they were.
Nice restauration by the way.

USNVA Maybe you should buy a better hammer
That is so cool. I love how you leave the bare metal and you don't cover up these cool mechanical things in paint
The objects with a high "gizmocity" factor look best naked.
This was so much fun to watch. The sounds of the tools on metal, seeing the tool come apart then be reassembled. Great stuff. Did make me nervous though when your loose floppy sleeves came close to the spinning wire brush, saw a guy get sucked into one of those once. He was torn up pretty bad, hate to see you get hurt.
Another amazing invention restored. I don't know how your mind wraps around these projects but ir keeps doing it!
That is a very cool tool, Another addition to your shop.
Had to look up an old video to remind myself how good this channel used to be.
Fantastic adjustable wrench you've got. Should reproduce those and sell them. I like that it's drop forged steel and has a nice rubber dipped handle. No brass nonsense and not one of those useless 90° things.
Love the wear and tear look on your work bench...
Love your videos and how you use the sounds of the mechanics to tell the story!
No idea that that machine was to make the lock to the saw, congratulations for your work you are an excellent reconstructor mechanic.
Gracias!
Great video on the restoration and use of the 1877 Disston hand-crank saw set. Often wondered how it works ;-)
Just found this channel about to binge watch all of the videos
Very cool. I like your old work bench too.

You have 3 hands!!!!!!!!!! another fantastic video and tool restore!
Thank you!
i absolutely love this one great job! love it that you didnt paint it either bare metal was the sexiest choice !
amazing skills you have sir,I can't imagine the mind it took to design this work of art
Мастер хорош,много ваших видео пересмотрел , но 3-я рука это просто шедевр😄😄😄
Nice work. I really enjoy your tool rescue and restoration.
Thank you.
Awsome, never knew anything like this ever existed... Great Job!
I wasn't aware that there were bandsaws back in the 1860's, but if there were they had the tool to set it. This was in remarkable condition wasn't it? Again, great video. Regards.

To whom it concerns
this - is - not - a - hand - cranked - bandsaw it only sets the saw's teeth and you can file them one by one.
NICEFINENEWROBOT
I finally knew what it is.. thanks for your comment.
Omg thank you, I was going nuts trying to figure out how it cuts things haha
Hence the name...Band Saw Set...it sets the teeth on a band saw. Have a happy Holiday...captjack
That's why is says "Band Saw Set" in the title, genius.
Oryx The Taken King not everyone knows the difference
oh man, that's a really cool machine! Beautifully done good sir
Thanks!
The lady's hand freaked me out for a sec! 🤣 Another awesome job.
Amazing bit of kit. Love mechanical apparatus and how it works. I'll say one thing though, that third hand hasn't had nearly as tough a paper round as the other two. 😉
The shape of new spring 10:44 is amazing.. couldn't be better %-)
After doing some research into the Disston company which was formed in 1840 and produced saws. They made various setters and straighteners. I would say that the 28 is a model no.
The appearance of the third hand was a bit alarming! Great video. I can't get enough of these. New subscriber!
What a beautiful old machine.
Fascinating little machine; hadn't seen one before. I like the videos btw at the normal speed btw. Thanks much
Good save I always enjoy your videos, can't say I'm impressed with the machine all the same.
That was awesome to watch! Just found your channel and really like the old tools work.
Amazing to think these old works of art were designed without computers
owesome the quality of those iron parts
that's a "kerf" reset tool.
Kerf: The narrow channel left behind by the saw, and (relatedly) the measure of its width, which depends on several factors: the width of the saw blade; the set of the blade's teeth; the amount of wobble created during cutting; and the amount of material pulled out of the sides of the cut. Although the term "kerf" is often used informally, to refer simply to the thickness of the saw blade, or to the width of the set, this can be misleading, because blades with the same thickness and set may create different kerfs. For example, a too-thin blade can cause excessive wobble, creating a wider-than-expected kerf. The kerf created by a given blade can be changed by adjusting the set of its teeth with a tool called a saw tooth setter.
gary jonson
Nope. It’s not. It’s a “setting tool”. The “set” of the saw decided the width of the “kerf”. Nice try though.
Man you gotta be a machinist to do this, this is amazing.
That's a very lovely third hand you have.
Greetings from brazil your videos are great, I'm new enrolled in the channel I only see old restorations and tools used in the past: D hugs
IMPRESIONANTE!!! me encantan estas máquinas tan antiguas, saludos desde España
Fascinating I have never seen one of these before!
awesome videos....love watching them....very relaxing.....keep up good work
great job my friend as usual I love how you take all that apart and get it back together.
Great job I bet half the fun is finding the tool
+dwittek Thanks! Getting harder and harder.
Ultrasonic cleaning bath will help you significantly with tasks like removing all that schmoo from parts
I wish I had that tool. It's a great find.
What an interesting machine & beautiful restoration, great work! :)
Amazing tool can alignment for saw blade like that long time ago .
Tu manda muito bem meu amigo ,deixa a desejar em algumas coisas mas são quase imperceptível mas nota mil para o seu trabalho .direto do Rio de Janeiro (Brasil )
Cool. The claw hammer however is questionable. Ha enjoy watching your videos.
That looks amazing! Great job
I can see that it would be a very good idea to take a whole lot of photos of the tool so that you can remember where everything goes.
Amazing tool and resto!
Thanks Stavros!
Crazy device. It's amazing what the human mind can come up with in the mechanical world. 😄
Awesome job, the bare look is nice!
That return spring looked janky but other then that it was a nice rescue! I really like that perty 3 hand ! Nice touch !
Your bench was much fresher looking 5 years ago ;)
all those square heads haha. awesome piece of history
It's amazing to see some of the stuff that was made so long ago, 84 years before I was born...lol
Though initially the pins were somewhat constipated... in the end, this device has more slick moves than the entire history of EX-LAX! Dug the spring innovation the most. The Patienter would have been proud of the found cure for it's missing or weakend original. 73017
Loved the third hand...
Whoever thought up of this design was a genius.
I just found the exact same item at a rummage sale. Didn't know what it was, but it looked interesting. I did a google search with "antique hand crank", then minus-ing everything it wasn't! So this thing straightens teeth on a band saw. huh!
Use for the threads a brasswire brush it will be mutch softer for them so they can`t strip out
This just came up in my feed 7 years after it was made, and it still holds up!
I wonder if this machine can be used to set other types of saws, with adjustments or alternate gear sets or other attachments?
