Interesting little projects are accomplished in a small hobbyist workshop with limited tools. To get the work done we use a mixture of vintage hand tools, second hand power tools, occasionally a new tool, as well as some shop build tools and jigs. Join in the fun and see the thought process, a few failures and some satisfying successes produced in the Proto49 workshop.
Is it peen or pein?

Thankyou very much for posting this video, I found the instructions truly awful for this and clearly it wouldn’t do for me to get it wrong! Decapitation not a favoured option….your video helped me to put it together I now think correctly! Will still get someone else to check it but at least Ive dared turn it on for a second!

Any tips of setting those bearing guides, in particular the two (top/bottom) that are there in behind the blade. I have the 310 and don't see how on earth you're meant to get to them with any sort of feeler gauge/paper to get the spacing or to even see the spacing to do be able to do a hit and miss job of setting it.
@proto4975
@proto4975 Месяц назад
1. Continue with hit or miss. 2. Stop at hit. :-) I agree, it's fiddly. I run the bearing up to a gentle touch on the back of the blade. Others I have seen leave a small gap.. business card width. But you don't really need to get something in there. Just as long it's within a 1 mm or so it will work well.
@johnhambidge3
@johnhambidge3 10 месяцев назад
any idea how I adjust the tracking of the blade? It doesn't run evenly around the wheels and wants to move forward.
@proto4975
@proto4975 10 месяцев назад
Tracking adjustment is on the back in the centre of the top wheel. For a blade moving forward a clockwise adjustment (looking from the back) should work. I run the blade tracking on the top wheel with the back of the gullet just forward of the centre of the crown on the wheel (the middle fo the rubber tyre). This reduces blade wandering in the cut, but may not eliminate it as there are many factors to drift.

I had conversed 14.4 Nicad to Lithium ion series of 4(4s) , 16.8 v but it ran no good! Slow or not even running ! I checked the voltage at 14.4v Nicad charger, the out put of the charger gave out 19.5v to charge for 14.4v Nicad batt pack( the old pack) , so i realized that the out put from 14.4 Nicad must be at around 19v .So i at one more cell 3.7 lithium to make up 5s plus changing to 5s BMS too . The result is good .Drill runs a lot better than before even when on new 14.4 Nicad in the old day

I personally have a crap ton of old 14.4 volt power tools (saws drills impact drivers grinders etc.) that I am currently running on modern Li Ion 18 volt batteries. Most of these old tools were made to run on Ni Cad or NiMH batteries and they generally have the old 775 or 550 Johnson motors which were built to run at anywhere from 12 to 24 volts. Most of these tools have been running like this for more than12 years with no problems but you need to realize that the higher the voltage the faster they spin and the more torque they have so the quicker they will wear out. Most of the older Ryobi's, Makita's, Hitachi's, Craftsman, DeWalt's, Milwaukee's, bosch, etc. were well built so they generally handle more power with no worries.

I know the machine was not cheap and it's a substantial weight.The guides never worked properly though.I can't complain in that regard as it was free.I saved it from going to the tip. When i did have a go at trying to fix the guides,the guide blocks just crumbled in my hand. Whatever they were cast with, just broke down.I have never seen anything like it. Honestly, i would have even been happy with any type of guide block to just be able to use the saw. Thanks for sharing your video,i am here just trying to get some ideas..Cheers..

I've recently received a (nearly) 40 year old Ryobi corded grinder. It still works great but has no ability to accomodate a side handle. So looking to buy a new corded one for general use, perhaps a little bit of concrete cutting and grinding, and to sharpen the odd garden tool. This might do the job. A few people have suggested I spend a hundred dollars more and get something like a Makita. Might take a punt on this one given it's low price. Like you say, always good to have a few grinders in the kit.

You didn't show how the mechanism works to extend the cable in order to start using the device. That's kinda important. As is the operation generally. It's all there in the instruction leaflet - but it's super low resolution. In a digital age? Do they still use potato engraving in China? Which, makes us go to the web to find instructions we can follow. From the price, I'd say you got it at Bunnings. You might as well say.
@proto4975
@proto4975 Год назад
Apologies, it was a quickly put together video. I must admit it was during extending the cable that I discovered the 1.8m cable length is really only 0.9m of cable extension and I had to get another strap to add in for my fence post straightening experiment. There is a release for pulling out the cable easily. I found the instructions mostly helpful. I find the slow-release technique that the instructions describe a shortcoming of the design. However, I haven't yet had an opportunity to really use it for what it's meant for in order to test that. But my first impression was that it's much sturdier than I had expected for the money. Unboxing and first impression was all I had intended to cover in this video. I'll add now that whilst the instructions weren't he greatest, they were certainly better than some other much more expensive products I've purchased over the years and I gleaned what I needed to know for this first fairy clumsy use. When I get an opportunity to use it for a more fitting task, I'll try to remember to record it and create a follow-up video.

Hi Paul I just watched a video from another RU-vidr basically saying get the bigger one now. He was talking tractors and his specific advice was… when you’ve settled on the one you want.. get the next model up in the range. I actually had the same choice when I bought mine. The 10” seemed to be all I needed. But I ended up dropping the extra cash in on the 12” and haven’t regretted it. I can’t even remember the cost difference almost ten years later. I like the features of some of the 10” models on the market. But I think the size and power of the 12” saw is worth the extra outlay. The difference now is relatively small compared to the cost of a later upgrade. I see it as a 10 year purchase. So divide the difference by 10 and then think about how many coffees that amount would buy in a year… not that many. I’ve found my 12” saw to be a great compromise for a budget conscious small workshop. Go for it Paul!

@proto4975
@proto4975 2 года назад
Hi Michael. Excessive vibration on the table would make me crazy. I'd look at two things. Firstly the source of the vibration. a) Maybe an out of balance wheel. Remove the blade (or belt) and spin the wheels in place. the heavy side will always stop at the bottom. b) May be an eccentric drive pulley. I found mine was a little worn and tightening up the grub screw did pull it eccentric (I can see that in the video). Too much wear in the pulley bore and you may need to add a thin bass or aluminium (coke can) shim. Secodly, look at furming up the table. I did by sinching down both tilt mechanism bolts hard. This locks the table in the horizontal position and removes all but the flex inherent to the trunion glides themselves. I hope this helps you chase it down. Good luck.
