Morning trip, before it gets too hot and sticky (stinky?) outside....spent $10, and a 10 minute drive each way.    Feeding Frenzy when we got there...LONG gravel lane back to the place.   One shed had fishing supplies, house had antiques.  In front of the house was the usual clothes, shoes, and hats.   Mainly Hunting and fishing gear.    There was a line-up out in the yard, of snowblowers, mowers, and other wheeled objects ....then there was a table and a second shed.....

Tub on the table. Another full of wrenches, and full of pliers, another full of screwdrivers....as for the shed..

Mainly a LOT of power tools.   Lots of Mechanic's stuff...but, there was 6 items I cleared off..

I can start on rehabbing the Disston D8 Rip saw....:ChinScratch:

 

  • Author

Waiting on paint  to dry:Tapping:...decided to clean up that old rip saw..

Brass was removed, and polished up.  Handle was removed..paint splats scraped off, 220 grit to LIGHTLY sand the good areas.  Load up a paint brush with 3in1 oil...and give the wood a good rub down...

 

Saw plate:  Fresh squares of 220 grit for the sander..one to remove the rust and crud, second to clean up after the first...then do the other side the same way.   Then a square of 2,000 grit paper on the sander..and polish up the steel...

Photos...?

Stamped as a 5-1/2 ppi..

Tried to match how Disston had "clocked" the slots..

Tooth line has a slight curve to it (breasted?)   Saw is a LONG one, compared to the 26" D-115 I have..

D8 is 28" of very big teeth. Test drive?

595445911_D8Rehab8strokes.JPG.274fc3154b70418cb0155a408dd3f9df.JPG

About 8 strokes...a little operator error was seen..

485112233_D8Rehaboperatorerror.JPG.37edcbb72aea61344065f766950a26e4.JPG

Was at a bad angle to run the saw in...saw starts easy enough, cuts FAST ( don't get your finger in it's way)

$1 saw...just might be a keeper..
