It’s great to see these wonderful tools brought back to like new functioning. I’m fortunate to have my late father’s MBF. Thanks for all of the helpful links!

I assume you’ve seen videos from Northland Workshop on all things Radial Arm Saw, I see the mount in yours that he shows how to make a simple, effective anti-kickback arm to add to this unit which originally had one. I appreciate all you who show how these are disassembled as it helps promote users to tackle those likely ignored or long neglected maintenance tasks.👏🏻

Nice job and I like the humor in your videos! Also, thanks for including a link to my calibration video in your video description-glad it was useful. Enjoy your saw!

Thanks! I’m checking out your video on the RAS sander now.

Beautiful old girl brought back to life. Real nice.

I have a couple of these MBFs to restore. And I bought a GE last year which needs work to get it cutting wood again. Nice job.

Nice video I've got the mbf also ,mine is dated 1956 ....back when you got American made quality, made to last two lifetimes. I did a restoration recently.A lot of therapeutic work to get it up to snuff. changed out the bearings on the motor,rewired.....replaced the old roller bearings.The table for these really needs to be rock solid flat ,to true it up to the blade.The "Mr Sawdust table"is the one to make.Plan on spending some time getting it dialed in,but once its set up properly ,you'll get very accurate cuts.

Beautiful rebuild. I love this saw. I'm just finishing up my DeWalt RAS. very similar to yours.

Nice job man. Looks great!!

Given all the advantages of the RAS over the CMS, can you give the reasons you are keeping your CMS?

Enjoyed the video and the process. Looking forward to more content with the RAS.

How does the back of the motor come off? Have to fix my wires

Do you have the wiring schematics for 120v wiring. I just got one of these and want to make sure it’s wired correctly. Taking everything apart now

Welcome to the RAS club! Good choice on the paint color... I have a few of the DeWalt RAS, but the MBF is the one I like the most. (I'm on the Delphi forum)

I have this same saw, trying to remove the motor housing so that I can rewire the motor but I am unable to remove please advice?

Hi, I just got mine, thanks for the video! Wondering, it looks like you had to replace the locating pin. Where did you find that? I need both the miter and bevel knobs.

Great work and excellent job on the video too.

Great video! I also have the same saw I picked up locally I need to restore. Where did you find information on the wiring? Mine has terrible wiring that must be replaced as well. Any advice appreciated!

Thanks, Marc. I really wish I had gotten a better photo of the wiring when I finished it. I think there was a post on Lumberjocks that helped, but then the Dewalt RAS group was also had some helpful posts. I'd post a photo on that group to get some advice if I were you. forums.delphiforums.com/woodbutcher

I just refurbed and aligned my 12" (7790 Type 7). You are going to shame me into repainting it. Nice job. I recommend "Mr. Sawdust"'s table. I made one and love it.

Hello, can you supply the specs of the bearings? I am trying to replace the ones on my GWI. Thanks!

I don’t have the specs off hand, but if you go on the Dewalt RAS forum, they will be happy to help you out.

Hello Good video. what is the maximum cross cut?

@exmateriawoodworking6733

4 жыл бұрын

Currently about 13.5”, but I can adjust the fence and get around 15”. That said, Dewalt made much larger saws that will do longer cuts.

Sad I've only ever seen Craftsman versions around me; and none that old.

I'm curious..... Did you strip the old paint. Or just clean it up before repainting. If you just cleaned it..... how did you do that? I'm getting mine cleaner. but, still way too much "Old" crud to repaint Tom

I got rid of the loose stuff and gave it a light scrubbing with a brass wire brush. I didn’t need to remove much, plus I wanted to be conservative because I don’t know what was in that original paint.

What color paint did you use?

@exmateriawoodworking6733

The paint is Rust-Oleum textured "Sea Green". I included a link in the description.
