Power Hacksaw [Restoration]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 พ.ย. 2017
- This tool restoration was a unique experience. This is a Model 256 power hacksaw was made by L. Krushel & Sons Ltd. (LKS) of Morden, Manitoba, Canada. I am not sure of the age as there is very little information on this saw, but the motor is from the 1960s. LKS was most known for building high quality welders and produced the first 180AMP welder in Canada. The LKS 180AMP welder is still sought after today, but this hacksaw should not be.
I was not overly impressed with the build quality on this tool, so much so, that I would probably not use it and I do not want anyone else to use it ever again. That is why I decided not to replace the power switch on this tool. The majority of the hacksaw is made with sections of angle iron welded together. I even had to hammer off the slag from the welds for painting, as it was never done the first time around. It was also odd to see shafts with no bushings or bearings around them for support. I imagine heavy use of this machine would wear out these parts very quickly.
There is no way to adjust the feed pressure or to make the cut more straight and square. This must have just been a nice thing to have that would quietly cut metal for further clean-up.
I understand that this tool was built in a time when most tools were starting to be made with cheaper materials and methods for competitive reasons.
I tried to match the colour as best as I could and applied 3 coats of filler primer, 4 coats of blue paint, and 3 clear coats. I used the snap rings I had lying around as I didn't want to buy whole new sets of them just for this application.
With a fresh blade, the saw did cut quite fast, but was not square. If you do come across an old power hacksaw, look for something built better and with adjustment mechanisms.
EDIT: The part of the video where it says "Title Text Here" was meant to talk about the old power switch location and why I didn't want to replace it.
Also, the bearing was warm while the rod was around -20C. Hopefully, that helped with hammering the bearing on, haha. As shown in the video, I used the old outer bearing race to support the new bearing while I was hammering the wheel onto it. I still need an arbor press.

When are you going to do a restoration on that jacket of yours? Lol.
NEVER! The patina is just too nice on it.
Oi, leave the ancient antiques alone, mkay? Entire family trees of moths can trace their family roots in there.
restoration? Its just broke in!
alright this comment made me laugh.
Rocker Pat I have to agree
Very cool project. I realize I’m really late to the party, but I believe the rod you reinstalled at ~29:50 in the video should actuate a limit switch under the frame that shuts off the motor when the saw has gone through whatever you’re sawing.
No music, no noise... Just the sounds of taking it apart... So nice!! Well done.
We had this exact tool in the metal shop in my high school. Brings back memories. You had to hold the blade up and not let the weight of the arm weigh down on the material being cut. If you did the blade would break. I don't believe any of us ever wore safety glasses when using this tool.
For hating a machine it's amazing how well you did. It's also amazing how far you've come in 5 years with you're restoration projects and how you go about doing things. Great job!!
I used to watch American Restoration on cable channel but your in a league on your own, awsome work, dedication and knowledge on how to take apart, clean, paint and not only make it look great but work the way it was intended to function. You have a fun sense of humor while you work and you provide great tips on how to restore antiques. Keep these fantastic videos coming. Thank you very much!!!
Man. You Rock. I see these things you restore and WOW. So cool!
This was intensive! Way to stick it out through the end. I was thankful that motor started right up after the cleaning and rewiring.
Thank you for posting videos like this. You are keeping the history of tools alive! Well done!! Five stars!
Great restoration. And a big thumbs up for no crappy music!
Great content , i watch you all the time, because i need inspiration for my chanel, i hope one day i will be big like you on yt. thank you for all video
@Eric Bryant ikr he blew up
1.37m subscribers 😂
Hahaha @tysytube is my go to next to HTR. Both are the best.
Looks like you're doing well now at 1.83m subs tysy. Congrats!!
I stumbled across your videos today and have to say im part of a generation who believes when an electronic goes bad the only recourse is to toss it! Its really cool to see that there was a time when you could fix it!! Awesome vids!
Merci pour votre travail de restauration, de préservation, et votre humour... J'apprends plein de chose et en plus, ça me détend! 👏👏🙏🙏
Thank you for no music!
Why do you guys hate music?
I would like microphone feedback.

Had to laugh at the 'Do not cut self' warning, the hacksaw blade is only a minor danger, Compared to those unguarded spinning pulley wheels, belts and chain!
I caught that too. I wondered if that was really on the original label or if he was just taking comedic liberty.
I can't get over how quiet it is when it's running! Amazing job as always!
Thank you!
I was amazed at how quiet it ran after resto. I also enjoyed the rib bone spacer.
One of my favorite channels, Thanks for posting
Thanks for watching!
I love the these! The chain drive Is awesome! Shipping out a package to you this week!
+The Good of the Land led me here by suggesting your videos. You both do awesome work, and make me want to try to restore something, which I have no experience in doing any type of restoration work. But there is some strange force pulling me towards trying it. I have a "Plantar Jr." I think it's called, it's an old walk behind tractor, I also bought a Farmall Cub which I wanted to fix up, but that's a dead idea, but I need to try to do at least one piece because of you two!

Glock232 AWESOME! Just jump in. Don't think of a restoration project as a whole. Take it one oart at a time and you will do fine.
Makes me think back to when my Grandpop was alive he had all kinds of old tools and stuff, but when I was younger I had no appreciation for them like I do now. I may have to take a walk through the local collectible stores and see if i can't find something easy to try out. What I'd ultimately love to be able to do is have a little forge and just do basic knife making. #goals
Glock232 Start with a relatively simple tool such as a hammer or axe head to so many to speak get your feet wet.Then move on to something a bit more complex. I broke my old man's ball peen hammer when I was a kid and had to put a new handle on it but I spent some extra time making the head look new and staining the hickory handle. When I was done it came out OK but not great but it started me on the course of restoring everything. (1960 Dodge pickup and a Montgomery Wards radial arm saw are the current projects). I don't think you will find a more satisfying hobby being serious. The hardest part is seeing something semi complex all the way through especially when you get frustrated with it such as we see in this video.
Personally I love restoring old quality tools because if you do the work on them yourself not only will you have a tool that will more then likely outlast you as it did is original owner but most old tools were built better from reputable countries, like the USA, West Germany, the UK and Japan. They all almost always but better then the new 3rd world crap that bares the same name from today's world. (Milwaukee tools is now a Chinese company for example and made with lots of plastic).
Good luck on your adventures
That looks like a piece of art. Beautifully done.
great videos keep up the great job. I get glued to watching you restore items
Pretty sure the electrical box underneath was for an auto stop switch, thus the hole and pokey bit.
Yes. I mention why it's not worth replacing.
Yep, I've used band saws set up like this before, there's a switch with a stopper on it, you pull it up to turn it on, and it presses it off once the cut is done.
cause you hate this tool...no need lol...
Well it was hardly worth saving and using if it doesn't cut straight
I think you meant to put "Auto-Stop Switch" in the video, but instead left "Title Text Here"
One of the most satisfying yt channels. Nice work!
Awesome job on all your tool restorations
My grandfather had two of these working and two more stored under his metal racks. Although his were a different design, they had two "L" arms which supported the arm when not in use, they were rocker design to drop into support position automatically when the arm was raised. The units were also older than this model. I remember them running in his shop when I was six or so and that was the 1960's
list of tools and things i need in my garage #1 a garage..
This made my day😂
next restoration..... an arbour press!!
Luke Kelly or hydraulic press.
This one is by far my favorite. Great job
Beautiful job, enjoyed watching your restoration.!
Nice job. I know the gentleman and the company that built those machines. He was 1/2 mile down the road from me. He's 90 plus years old now.
That's cool. I would love to have such machine in my garage.
@@RedBear345 maybe you could show us some examples of your work? Or is it only computerised rockets that you construct and send into kerbalspace
Great job as always. Really need to do a tool review on that electrical cord cutter it cut the cord really fast and clean!!! 😂😂😂😂
I can remember using one of those when I was at school in the 60's. Our one must have been the posh one as it used to switch itself off once the blade went passed the bed and was finished cutting. Thanks for posting
Absolutely beautiful resto. Best yet.
I am sure you spend a lot of time doing editing. However it is worth it as these videos are great. Really enjoy them.
Thank you! Appreciate it.
Awesome videos. I'm addicted. I've been learning so much from these for my own restorations. One thing you've mentioned in other videos is label reproductions. Maybe a video on just how you do that process? I have a Lawnboy lawnmower with painted decals that aren't available that I need to make replacements for. Have ideas, just curious as to the process.
Bravo. Incredible skill restoring it. Perfect for watching as I lay here sick and just want something relaxing and even informative.
Beautiful job mate. You brought it back to life.
Nice work man. But more important - 16:48 - I hope those are safety socks.
They could be... usually he wears them with his steel toe'd Birkenstocks....
Of course!
I had to check the comments the moment I saw those socks in the workplace haha
You beat me to a sock comment! :)
19:41 ; I was expecting a set of side cutters or dikes... Not an off with her head moment...Why the hell am i laughing so hard?
You the man my brother awesome project to i love it very good job :)
Witam!!Ciekawa i pomyslowa renowacja pily do ciecia metalu!!Duza dokladnosc i cierpliwosc przynosi efekty!!Bedzie sluzyc nalata!!Dobry pokaz filmowy!!
That was really cool. Thanks for the video. Looks like you do awesome work!
25:37 Should have been an internal snap ring/circlip and not an external one.
That’s my only criticism. No annoying music, internationally understood without a voice over. A great project! Thanks!
Or at least grind the external tabs off so that it could fully seat if you're really dead set on using the wrong fastener.
Painting the teeth, chain and belt looked a bit too loose.
What is up with the overall hatred for music?
The point is that could be a major point of failure. Just as bad as wiring the motor wrong. Don’t be such an angry troll.
Exactly. I'm brazilian, and my english is very short. Though this, can understand every show and enjoy the work, without having to hear some estupid heavy metal rock.
"CAUTION: DO NOT CUT SELF" love the safety features.
Today's labels ''Wear hand protection'' ''Eyes protection required'' ''Warning - Reciprocating saw in motion'' ''Never hold materials by hand - use the dedicated clamp'' ''Warning - Unplug before maintenance''
Labels back then ''Be careful''
@@TheAndre8900 Health and Safety? Watch your head!
I love these videos so much. Very relaxing and fun.
A real joy to watch. Everyone teach your children to repair stuff. Let’s save the planet and humanity.
I am surprised you haven’t found an old arbor press and restored it
Was about to say the same thing. I keep seeing them on ebay for 70$ and under in better condition than some of the tools he's taken in to restore.
Your restoring videos are so satisfying to watch subscribing now main reason no shitty music you are a champion
Liked the vid! Don't underestimate the ammount of work this saw can do so you don't have to! Anyway, putting an external retaining ring where you should have used an internal one was quite annoying.
Exquisite in the detail and brilliant workmanship! Talented and funny! 😃
Oh man, this thing has a hilarious name in Dutch. "Kwik kut" literally translates to "Mercury c*nt" :-P
omfg I bet they never realised!
Hahaha!
Well, they do say seafood can be high in mercury...
The god Mercury served to guide souls to the underworld. This is all so fitting
Much like the Ford Pinto (small penis in Portugese).
I think it might be illegal and certainly unsafe to operate that tool without putting the bone back in.
altheliterate
I was thinking it was a spacer for a worn out belt, maybe.
Boneless hack saw.
altheliterate illegal how and who will enforce such a law or whatever your clueless ,stfu you Zionist muppet slave
Gaz Girl
I am pretty sure that was meant to be a sarcastic joke. At least I sure hope so. LOL
altheliterate I have a bone to pick with you! ;)
Wow. What a transformation. Great job 👍
I about died LOL when you carefully cut the new Cord for the motor!!!
Great work once again!!!
The way he just took an axe to that cord made me laugh really hard
3:17 end switch micro switch box, to turn the equipment off when finished sawing.
True, except someone had bypassed it and just left the wiring there. Apparently, not needed.
Nicely done. Your style is perfect for my taste. Descriptive without words. Perfect keep it up m8.
I own this same saw, and have enjoyed many dozens of surprisingly accurate cuts with steel, aluminum, and even wood. Depends on the blade tooth count of course.
I keep the oiling process going frequently. Just start the cut gently, then walk away for a while, it's in no hurry. I have the auto stop, although it's a bit hokey on mine.
I enjoyed your presentation. Never thought anyone else still had a working model of this craft tool.
wow, that gave you hell but you did it wow. that is so good at what you do.yes.
I thought i had the only dog able to operate a power hacksaw. Small world...
It's a difficult certification to get, but well worth it.
Brastius This is so underappreciated
@Kasey Krupa Of course. That's how that bone got there.
Well done nice job like seeing old saw work
The hand gestures when the two nuts broke off cracked me up, it said it all. Love the vid, as i have a old mechanical hacksaw i want to restore.
Quite interesting what the United States and Canada tools were cuz I'm originally from Germany like to see some from overseas if you could lucky enough to find that
wolvesr4ever38 did you notice the text Dresden on one of the parts?
Willem Kossen no why
That part was made in dresden ontario.....I have one of these hacksaws, bought it at an auction a couple yrs ago....one cast part for holding the blade is broke....trying to source it but may have to braze it.
+ Willem Kossen Dresden in Canada, not in Germany.
For bearings a little heat and it drops right off. Don't need to beat on it.
Maybe you could show us on one of your restoration videos??
HotHeaded Productions either blow torch or coil gun the rod and drop the bearing in
you did a great job on this resto.. thanks for sharing.
18:07 lol
I appreciate your work man. Cheers for sharing this video.
That moment you realize the power saw was once used to saw up human body parts from the previous serial killer you used to associate with
Do you ever have to refer back to your take it apart videos to re-assemble these machines? I am always impressed in the number of parts and that there are none left over :)
he answers that ? a lot. With a Yes.
James Culp Thank you, I was curious about that as well, I'm a new sub here. =)
Great old tool! Nice work!🤟🔧😄
Love your work. Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
4:30 I specifically asked for a B O N E L E S S tool
zebracherub B O N E L E S S P I Z Z A
Even worse it's an old powered saw so you know someone was chopping up at best some freshly cut dear on it but didn't do a good job at cleaning it. that's like 40+ year old animal meat and bone dust he is cleaning off it. Imagine it was used at an old butcher shop, the guy in the back there would have to cut whole animals up on something like that.
Any ideas on why alot of these old machines have Nutella as lubricant?
XD
Because that’s all it is good for. 🤮🤢
grouse work mate from start to finish most workshops or hobby lovers would love these now days for sure.
I really enjoy your videos, more than any other restoration site!
23:17,, you forgot to reinstall the "Bone Shim" ;o)
That's a human rib bone. Pretty creepy find.
😂😂😂😂
I wonder why it was there. Was it there as a shim? Was it there because the last time that saw was used, it was used to cut bone? Or was it simply something like someone needed a shim and grabbed some random hard piece of "I dont know what this is, but it'll work" and used it? Like why was there bone there? And while it does greatly resemble a human rib bone, it also could be a rib from a pig or a calf. They can be similar in appearance sometimes.
Why uh why does your smiley face have a nose
@@ShashMasuta a pig bone looks the same i think
OMG!!!!
This Old School is so, soft. . . .
😂😂😍😍😊😊
Ahsan Jaffery i
Wow, it only took a half hour to restore that. That's amazing.
Shave and a haircut...two bits! Love it. Nice restoration.
How the Eff do you remember how to get that shit put back together. If this was my channel, I'd have a whole pile of super clean but dismantled junk laying in the corner because I couldnt get them back together
Third Coast Craftsman He can just watch the video and do it in reverse
Third Coast Craftsman 😆😆😆
Third Coast Craftsman Its easy if youve ever restored anything its real simple
If in doubt, take photographs. Lots of them. Make notes as well.
Third Coast Craftsman that's why your a dumb ass
You come across the coolest items to restore... AWESOME 👍👍👌👍👌👍👌👍👌👍 😁
cant stop seeing your videos
If the only tool in your box is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail
29:00 Operators of motorized machinery should at least have hands in my opinion
LOL. I didn't even notice that.
I can't hate this tool when youve painted it in that awesome colour
I know I'm really late, but your editing style is reminiscent of This Old Tony and I absolutely love it
19:40 axe to the head of the extension cord made me laugh.
29:01 sooner than you think the bone is back in place
You are my favorite Restoration channel! Can you please have your dog guest star in more videos??
Very cool restoration!
18:07 tears in my eyes from laughing 😂👍
aT 26;00 You installed an external spring clip instead of an internal one. All that will be holding it in are the two "ears " of the clip!!
DJ Skills are right on! Nice work btw! Subscribed!!!
I want one of her saws. This is the coolest thing ever. I think i like this restore more than any other just bc i could so use this. Awesome
Особенно вставил процесс демонтажа и монтажа подшипников...
нормально он так по новым подшипникам стучит...)))
19:40 XD is that the easiest way to cut off the plug? cant help but lol! x)
It's a bit savage. I use a woodworking chisel. Much more refined.
I slam a dull kitchen knife through it with a hammer
MANLIEST way to cut off the plug
Brutal...
Nice job.. video and tool.. thanks for sharing
I really enjoy all your videos. Keep the awesome work up please
That's a old bone saw from a meat market, that's where the bone came from...
@Tom Slak The clamp is to hold your thieving neighbor's arm in it while you teach him a lesson about returning your tools. :P
That looked a lot like a human rib bone. Yikes.
Probably a wedge to tension the drive belt.
@@markellis9967 precisely what I thought, a makeshift shim
Or it comes from someone who got cut in two pieces through the chest 😂
Be cool to see AvE do a review on this.
We are working together on a few upcoming projects! Not this one though.
Feck yea!
lesslighter an arbor press is just the Cockford Ollie to get the dingus end off of 'er, wah.
N Nowalk that would be cool indeed.
This tool is not a skookum choocher.
Love this channel, my hubby thinks I'm weird. Reminds me of a favourite uncle who took things apart and rebuilt them.
Maybe I am that uncle?
I have one of those saws and did a similar restoration. Originally owned by my Dad who bought it new in late 1950 or early 1960. He made a stand for it and we used that saw a lot in our repair shop.
