1-18 mechanism...

I've been asked countless times **ahem Dave ahem** to make a video of the 1-18 mechanism agitating, so, I finally got around to it, and here it is, sadly, there is no sound, but the whump whump of the agitator covers up any news sounds the transmission makes. Enjoy!

Ooo, Jamie! Thanks for posting this video - I've never actually taken a peek at my 1-18 during opperation.

Very interesting-have seen a similar mechanism in a--Milwaukee Sawzall.When I used to repair power tools-Milwaulkee Sawzalls had a similar mechanism for converting the motors rotary action to recip action for the blade.Was amazingly durable in the recip saw application.It outlasted the motors in sawszalls!

Thanks Jamie, I was able to show my partner what it looked like since he helped me so many times with repair on those,
but never actually watched in person after it was up and running.
