Die Filer [Restoration]

Описание к видео Die Filer [Restoration]

This restoration is on a Harvey Manufacturing Corp. Butterfly filing machine from the 1950s-1960s. Also known as a die filer, or its proper pronunciation "defiler", this tool perfectly and quickly moves a file up and down to rapidly remove material. The one I have also has a scroll saw attachment.

I actually used this tool in a previous video, but it kept seizing on me every time I would shut it off and would need a giant wrench to get it moving again. The annoying seizing became too much for me so I decided to restore this machine and fix the problem.

Most parts were in decent condition, but the paint had deteriorated heavily over time.
Due to the numerous brass tags on this tool, I decided to show a few different methods of restoring them. The original filer attachment was missing, but was kindly donated by a sensual viewer.

I would love to find the original files for this machine, but I'll settle for modern replacements that all cut on the downstroke instead of the upstroke, like most files today.

I will definitely be using this machine in the future for a number of projects I have in mind.
