The least safe "Safety Saw" I have ever used.

I have a cross country flight tomorrow, thank you so much for this

Clearly you need to put a pulley in place of the 12" saw blade, and use this to re-power your lathe.

Seriously though, I could have used that last weekend, when I was helping make some steel tables at the local makerspace. We were attempting to cut some 3/8" plate with an electric circular saw, and while it was working, the saw motor got warm and we had to pause every few seconds, and I'm pretty sure a larger blade and a sturdier frame would have made everything work much better. As would that glorious, glorious sound. I want one. No, sorry, what I mean is: I need one.

I love the beautifully ridiculous machines you find and restore

the "totally disassembled" shot made me go "holeeeee sheeeeet". awesome tool, didn't realize how advanced pneumatics were relatively early, but I guess it makes sense coming from steam power

also, you can't know how happy it makes me to hear you hate on torch alu welding! I feel the same and always thought I was stupid ;) also, the fact that you cant tell the temp by the colour! NIghtmare!!

Eric, I love this 100 year old saw! I spent about 35 years in a highly innovative discrete manufacturing company, and over the years one of the patterns I noticed was that some products are politically design-led by product R&D, some by Sales/Marketing, and some by Manufacturing/Supply Chain. This saw, to me, was clearly a product engineering led effort. It’s all about design, power, sturdiness, and repairability, unfettered with other constraints from within Ingersoll-Rand. Cost was not an issue. Beautiful!

I suppose I'd be a big fan of pneumatic tools in the 1920's....given how sketchy the wiring was. "Hey, let's stand in water while building this bridge and not get electrocuted" was probably said a lot. Awesome work, big thanks to the person who sent you the saw! BTW, I'm loving the HTR wrench, didn't realize how often I needed it in my life!

What an amazing piece of equipment. It is amazing to me how in such a short time, industry progressed. That this saw was once "State of the Art" was obvious. Thank you for yet another educational and very enjoyable restoration.

so... is it running in reverse? shouldn't it cut down not up? I'm no expert obvs but it looks so wrong...
