    Default Ulmia OTT mitre saw

    This is part of a group of tools bought. Not in the best of condition but I'm hoping I can do something with it. I don't know if it can be dated. I'm looking for advice on cleaning and maybe repairing for use again or maybe it just has to be spare parts and I'll clean it up for good looks only. For now I have sprayed it with RP7 to try and get is moving.

    Mechanism is now cleaned and working smoothly. Saw has had most rust cleaned off and lubricated. I have just made a couple of cuts but realise I really need the instructions on how to adjust properly. Can anyone tell me if the handle is meant to be offset and why? I am assuming that the most important thing to do is have the blade tight and straight through the guides. I would appreciate any guidance from anyone with this type of saw.

    I don't know about this make of saw but looking at the pictures it seems that the saw is in back to front, on my stanley the saw is mounted so it cuts towards the fence, you hold the timber against the fence when cutting.

    Cheers. Rick

    Well spotted Rick.
    I have one very similar but cant recall the brand as its been years since I used it. Very accurate with a good sharp blade in it. I dont recall any instruction book cane with mine. I think the handle nay just have got bent. Should not be a problem as long as the blade and spine are in line.

    Regards
    John

    I have one of these in the stash, never used it but thought the missus might when she was a TAS teacher.
    I did buy a couple of new blades, not sure who from.
    Might have been carbytech as I was working for them back then.

    Thanks John, I've used it a couple of times now and like the feel of me cutting the wood. I was wondering about tolerances and alike but felt the spline was the key thing. I hope I can get to try one in very good condition and see if it is worth upgrading. This one cost $10 so I'm happy.

    I think I will be hunting down one in better condition and see if it is worth replacing any parts on this one.
