Thank you very much for your feedback and expertise, it is greatly appreciated. The saw is wired 220V already ;-) I tried to troubleshoot the nose button but I think soemthing is wrong with it as I did not get the proper contacts (I couldn't figure it out) so I left the other ON/OFF switch. It works great but it would be nice indeed to have the orignal button running at some point :-)

@@prophilwoodworks3453 Interesting. I'd love to see the motor tag. So you think the switch itself is bad? Original saw sells that switch. I did notice in the beginning of you video that you did have that narrower wire that comes out of the magnetic starter. That was the nose button wire. I may also have a few buttons in my shop. I know I just sold one a few weeks ago. I have to try that clear coating you use. Very nice!

@@DeWaltRadialguy Yes, I tested the switch and I think it is dead. If you have one available I would be interested 🙂Regarding the motor tag. You can see it in the video at time stamp: 2:33, 3HP Frame #563

@@prophilwoodworks3453 I will check. I love the frame 563! Yes 18 AMPS 220V. Mine nuns fine on a 20AMP breaker.

Thank you 🙂 Lots of very good deals from Auctions. I'm addicted to them now!

@@prophilwoodworks3453 lucky for you...we have many tools here but I can't afford

Thank you. So far, I am thinking the same! I like the 20" and the 14" so much :-)

Thank you so much! I’m glad 😀

Not what I had in mind but that is an idea ;-)

You can move the fence to get more cutting capacity if needed and it is easy to replace yes.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your feedback.

Thank you very much and good luck for your Father's saw.

Thank you 🙂

Heavy Duty in the word indeed. Old American Cast Iron works great :-) I am working on a Table for my Laundry Room. It will be a Folding Table made out of Exotic Woods. Stay Tuned ;-)

That will be interesting@@prophilwoodworks3453

Thank you very much, really appreciated

If you are referring to the Mr. Sawdust Bible, you can find it on their website at: mrsawdust.com/. For the RAS manual itself, I found it searching online for Manuals. I found multiple ones that were not the right one until I found it. But there are 2 sources you can try where you might find it: "The DeWalt Radial Arm Saw Forum" on the DephiForum (forums.delphiforums.com/) or on Vintage Machinery (vintagemachinery.org/). Good luck.

I have the Mr.Sawdust Book, and I found two manuals on the vintagemachinery site, but I have not been able to find the one you have. Would you be willing to scan yours and send me the files ??? I am more than willing to pay you for your time & effort.

@@MrBobWingard Sure, just send me an email and I will reply with the file attached.

Thanks 👍

I can provide Drawings if that is what you are asking for?

@@prophilwoodworks3453 yes Please, I want to try to make maybe four, so I realy apreciate if you can senda this to me

Can you send me an email and I will send you the Drawings. I cannot add them into the comments. Thanks.

Thank you Phil. I have 2 in the works ;-)

Thank you very much, I agree :-)

Yes, I sometimes go on the DELPHI Forum about DeWALT Radial Arm Saw. Great source for information and Great People.

Bonjour, merci beaucoup. J’apprécie vraiment ce que vous faites 😊

@@prophilwoodworks3453 merci

Indeed it is not a production type shop. I mainly build for myself and I occasionally build custom pieces for Customers. Flipping woodworking equipment is also part of my Business Model indeed. I like giving a 2nd life to Woodworking Equipement :-)

I paid about $800 at the auction, including fees. But I also spent about $1,000 for the trip to OK and back. I would have spent $2,000 max. to get one (about 50% or retail price I believe). And I have been looking for one for a long time. So if you have the chance, get it 🙂

Thank you for your comment. I wouldn't say that, I have no dust collection YET. As said in the video (@19:22), that is what I need to work on next. I want to connect my dust collection system to it. Just not the 1st priority.

Thank you very much for your comment. I has been really helpful multiple times already and I love it! Indeed, a little heavy for the 2 long sides. I added short pieces at the top on the exterior side, on the front and back (1"x1"x6") to be able to lift them up from the pockets but it requires 2 people. I would maybe consider plywood instead of 2 bys to make it ligther and more managable. But the only thing I see though is about the wheelwale because there are no pocket in between. So it might be a lot more work.

It is not too bad. I would love to be able to use the original one instead. That would make it perfect.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your feedback. I tested the nose button at the beginning and it didn't work. I'll try to test it again (may be I did it wrong) or I'll try to find another one. I'd love to have a working button too :-)

@@prophilwoodworks3453 Call the Original Saw Company or Tom Wolfe of Command Industrial. They should have the switch for you. I may also have one.

@@DeWaltRadialguy Sounds great, will do, thank you

Great video, thanks for the helpful tips and instruction….. Really enjoy your channel, keep up the fantastic work! 👍🏼

Here is the Process I am following: First, I punch the Center with a Punch. Then, I use a 3/4 Forstner Bit for the Counterbore and a 3/8" Brad Point Bit for the through Hole.

Thank you, that helps alot!

Thank you Sir. I did wire wheel the bars first but didn’t show it on camera. I’m not sure either about the clear coat but I was planning to run through a tap in each hole before putting the bars back on the table. We’ll see, I’ll keep you posted.

I’m new to this, what are you using instead that works good?

@@prophilwoodworks3453 WD-40 makes a rust solve, Purple clean will do a great starter job at clear oil grease and even some rust. My go to is Evaporust, it is kitchen sink friendly. Just avoid de-rusting springs of any type because springs are very high in carbon, They disappear or weaken in the solution.

⁠@@bigjarnIf you are concerned about your health and the environment, then any commonly sourced Purple anything degreaser should be the LAST thing on your list! It’s all crap and Even with a respirator it still gets into your system through skin .It makes me ill just from a few splashes on my hands or forearms… I work in an industrial setting and I have a few coworkers that won’t use anything else; they are clueless to it’s toxicity. I concur with the rest of your comment 👌🏽😎

LOL

I went a little more :-) 10-4 SOW wire instead but I agree, 12-4 would do. Thank you.

Thank you. I replaced it with a 20A 240V plug and it works great.

Thank you very much, Doug, I really appreciate it. Your shop is amazing, it love it and what you do 🙂

Thank you very much and good luck in making one. There is only one way to find out how easy it is 🙂

Thank you very much, it is really appreciated. I love what you are doing, very inspiring. Thank you again Matt.

@@prophilwoodworks3453 You're sure welcome Phil!

Thank you very much.

Thank you for your feedback. All the equipment is on pallets so I can move them at any time, except 2 from auctions indeed (just bought them). One to use now and one to restore. But you are correct, it is very easy to buy tools 🙂

@@prophilwoodworks3453 yah Restore, I'm still restoring machines and no time for woodworking.

@@kenf2662 LOL

Thank you very much Tony

Thank you very much. Good luck with your shop next year :-)
