When you laid out all the parts I thought "Ah, so he's going simple this time! After the reciprocating saw this is child's work for this guy." You have set yourself a phenomenally high standard, but you look good for maintaining it. Another excellent video.
I watched this vid to get an idea how a circular saw was put together. I recently inherited an old Ryobi (made in USA so its gotta be at least about 30 yrs old) and when I turned it on it sounded like the bearings needed replacing. Thanks for sharing. Time to go replace some circular saw bearings...
that was stupendous. you cannot receive enough praise for the transformation job you demonstrated. no detail went unaddressed. beautiful work, and so skillful. what an inspiration! thank you!!
Yo like me well I am still a child but I do like those things take thing apart fix them put them back together I make thing from metal wood I have 7 machines
Kudos for the Video! Sorry for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you heard about - Schallingora Dexterous Programme Scheme (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a smashing one off guide for building any shed in no time with no experience minus the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cooworker at last got excellent success with it.
Man, I just found your channel and am an instant fan/subscriber. I sold 3 different woodshops I had due to moving and other circumstances. Your videos inspire and motivate me to go out, buy used and restore everything I get that's used. Your videos are too cool man. Keep it up.
Seeing you working ,I'm very impressioned..You are realy a skilfull man..Other wise, no one can do this ,as you do..This job requires a lot of knowledge and experiences..Thus;I recomend to every one who wants to do the same thing,to think about it for a moment..Well done my man!!
I've heard the newer tools are not quite as well made as the older ones were. Another trick with Makita is make sure you get the ones that are actually made in Japan. I have some US manufactured Makita tools and they're just not as good.
@@1pcfred That's to be expected. It's getting so price competitive that they are all making cuts to quality. Can't blame the manufacturers - they are just responding to consumer demand. Practically _anything_ made in Japan is going to be superior, but marketing pressure is going to push production 'overseas' if you know what I mean :P
@@firebladex8586 yeah sometimes I don't mind paying a bit more for something a bit better myself. But that's not how the market views things. So there I'm subject to the tyranny of the masses. Conversely though I hate wildly inflated prices for minimal gains. It is a fine balance where my pain point is.
Tool abuse is a serious problem in the modern world, most care about climate change and equal rights, it is good to see there are heroes like this to adopt and nurture these poor souls. Almost brings tears to the eyes. Great job😀
WOW!! What a difference! You have a new saw. That was a nice fix for the plastic section that was scuffed looking after the cleaning by giving it a clear coat. I will have to remember that. Great job.
@@TheLexiconDevils Not the point mate. The cable inside is old and worn. I agree with the other comments about the colour but this should not be a problem. Its more about safety than anything else. He replaced the blade because it was rusty and worn. Why not the cable? Is it not worn and old? :)
@@duhjooner He sometimes uses paint stripper which is quite toxic, but yeah i meant efficient and economical, and it's so much fun compared to scratching dirt with a metal brush 😄
Since is an old tool it has plastic where absolutely must have it,these days companies use it everywhere and tools are not that good anymore. Great video man. Excellent job as always.
Finally someone who doesn't use his screw drivers as pry bars, or chisels; replaces bearings on a full tear down (really shouldn't hammer them back together though); and does more than a paint job. That said, why did it run again when reassembled? Did you check electrical conductivity of commutator, and or stator? Replaced brushes, or switch? Don't use so much grease on external bolts it's just a sawdust magnate. Don't paint footplate underneath just leaves black marks on the wood (just clean to shiny metal/one coat rust preventive). Like you reused old cord with new strain relief, like you threw away old blade (not worth all that work for what costs $7.00 where I'm from).
What makes this world so great is we all get to do what we want how we want. Unless we're working for someone else. Now unless you're paying then don't tell anyone else how they should do anything.
@@1pcfred Your quote: "we all get to do what we want how we want", what world do you come from? In my world there are only 2 returns for a job well done: (a.) monetary or ( b.) self satisfaction. A restoration only makes sense if the end product becomes useful again, has value monetary or work capability wise, or in the case of obsolete/unique items there is a satisfaction of returning something to it's former glory even though it may no longer have a practical use. It's grand to do something artistic, but you tend to starve.
Are you 100% sure it works okay? Where i work it's common practice to cut the cable off of a faulty or dangerous powertool. That may be why someone did that to yours
@@thatsuaveraptor4297 someone cut the cord using the saw. I fixed the cord and used it. The saw runs fine. The guy obviously even tried to fix it but just managed to strip a couple screws out in the handle. So I threw the saw up on my milling machine and drilled those screws out. I had some replacements in my screw jar.
@@cs-rj8ru I'd say the Makita tools made in the USA are not on par with the Japanese manufactured ones. I wish it wasn't so but that's just been my personal experience. Bosch made in the USA same deal. The German stuff is better. I think it has less to do with what country and more to do with the home office. They just play better on their home field.
@@ChaosmanOne I have one old Makita drill that's certainly seen better days. I think the front bearing housing on it is broken? It's been a while since I've used it. I remember it having some issue in the nose of it though. It still goes around but it's kind of sloppy anymore.
@@1pcfred Yes I believe you're right about the Japanese Made being better than US made Makita. I think the USA made items are made to be sold to a somewhat lesser customer base. (Not industrial/commercial). Still, they are considerably better build quality that that junk I see from China with Makita all over it...I believe the Chinese stuff is Chinese design/manufacture just licensing the name.
And the plastics they made in the 1960's (or earlier) has lasted even longer. Wonder what shit they put into plastics these days to make them crumble and deteriorate after just a few years. I know they put anti-flame stuff into white plastics so they go yellow after some years...
Only thing to consider is that most of the times...the old cable becomes hard and less flexible...also...loses its insulating property......like old plier handle insulating sleeves.....

Good job. Glad you kept the original cable as there was nothing wrong with it. Maybe if you called your channel Gear Show-On a Budget, people would stop knit picking. 👍👍
I wish we were shown what was wrong with it. Was the switch faulty? I couldn't tell if they replaced it or not. I know the switch on my Porter Cable saw is shot. It's a left hander. I like that saw. But half the time when I pull the trigger nothing happens. Then the saw runs. So kind of spooky to use.
