Miter saw - KSMike - 04-13-2018 For years, I've been looking for the miter saw that goes with my Dad's Stanley miter box. I knew I had it somewhere but I haven't been able to find it since 2004 when I cleaned out their house. The other day I was digging around for something and walla, there it was, leaning against a wall in a seldom-used corner. The only problem is, now I can't figure out where I put the box itself, but it's here somewhere, I know because I tripped over it for 10 years before hiding it... somewhere... I've only begun to clean it up, and this is my first attempt at cleaning up a saw. I wonder if anyone has any info on it or can point me to some? I appreciate any input. RE: Miter saw - DaveParkis - 04-13-2018 First, I want to thank you for showing me I'm not the only one that does that. I am far less qualified than others here, but I would use a maroon Scotchbrite pad glued to a block and some WD-40 or whatever you have handy as a lubricant and take full length passes down the plate with very little pressure on the block. RE: Miter saw - KSMike - 04-13-2018 Thanks Dave, first pass was a maroon pad with PB Blaster, 2nd pass was a maroon pad with Ballistol. Nothing more seems to want to come off, even with a razor blade. Oh, and I was in a hurry, sorry about the upside-down handle. RE: Miter saw - bandit571 - 04-13-2018 Put the scratchy pad under a palmsander. [attachment=9808] Have done a few.. [attachment=9809] Just takes a bit of time.. RE: Miter saw - KSMike - 04-14-2018 Maybe I’ll try that. RE: Miter saw - Mike_Curry - 04-14-2018 This site has some great info on restoring a saw plate. I used a lot of the info there when rehabbing my 1890's backsaw. They also make some great stuff ( a little out of my price range). http://www.badaxetoolworks.com/bad-axe-tool-works-articles.php RE: Miter saw - Admiral - 04-14-2018 (04-14-2018, 01:35 PM)KSMike Wrote: Maybe I’ll try that. Scotchbrite under a palm sander does a lot. Follow that up with some Autosol, or other metal polish, and it will look like a million bucks. RE: Miter saw - KSMike - 04-14-2018 Thank you all. Once upon a time I considered asking Bad Axe to make a replacement for this saw. Fortunately I never acted on it, since I knew this would turn up eventually. I’m sure it’s nothing special - 1950’s or 60’s. RE: Miter saw - Blacky's Boy - 04-17-2018 Mike, A couple of years back I refurbed a Stanley Miter box that I got at an auction. I actually had a smaller one I got from Admiral (Rich) but wanted to larger one for crown molding. [attachment=9926] [attachment=9927] I cleaned the blade with a razor blade and windex. Then I followed up with 400 to 600 grit sandpaper blocked up by a piece of 2x4. I took the saw nuts off and then polished them a bit. [attachment=9928] [attachment=9929] [attachment=9930] After cleaning the miter box up I resharpened the saw and used it for the molding in my Family Room. Worked like a charm RE: Miter saw - KSMike - 04-25-2018 Your saw turned out great! |
