The Do-All is extravagantly decorated with reminders like this.

Operation

This machine is largely self-documenting.

Speed Selection

The machine is usually set to cut mild steel, for other materials it may be necessary to change the blade speed.

  • The first step is to find what speed is needed.

Blade sizes and speed settings are found with this tool bequeathed to us by our ancestors.

Blade speed data are well-documented and may be found from a wide variety of sources. The Do-All has a mechanism on its side panel that is well worth examining. It shows how your great-grandparents did these things. Today devices like this are as rare as they are perplexing.


  • Next the user checks the blade speed with the machine running. An indicator is on the side of the machine and reads in feet per minute.
