Amazing Tool For Workshop Using Wheel Hub And Washing Machine Motor 

There's 42 minutes and 17 seconds that I'll never get back.

All that work just to make a sander ? Why not just put the sanding disc in your drill , clamp it to your bench and walla your done.

I love whenever I am watching and learning Creative Projects from old parts normally trashed. I have seen many types of Sanders over my years. Especially at my Uncle’s shop, their sheets of Brass would be roughly cut on table saws. Next a bandsaw with a very small sort of welder was attached to the top, often a blade was cut and run through a center drilled through the center of the piece of Brass and then welded to finish cutting out the center a an eventual Brass letter. Very old school for today, these letters were usually installed on a Corporate wall of the reception desk. Later they updated to using a warmer jet cutter for cutting non ferrous metals and there were always these very large belt sanders where there was a movable platter underneath, excuse me my memory is not as sharp as way back then, that’s okay, my mind is still sharp enough to keep learning. Basically the letters were polished using these long belt sanders, which were rather long with I guess were S/S rollers with sealed bearings. This machinery in the shop was huge and heavy. I remember because I moved his whole shop from NYC to Rockland county NY. My Uncle ran the production and design end of this business, his partner did the sales department. Later they started doing Chemical milling or etching, when they started a contract for the renovation of Ellis Island, large 4X8’ magnesium plates were used because of the weather conditions of the Island. The people who passed through Ellis Island were able to have either their names or relatives etched into these large plates. The problem was that an etching machine was not being sold that was large enough for these plates. So my Uncle if I recall correctly, cut and extended a existing one with the use of a Smithy lathe, it was small but was multi functional, it was also a small milling machine too. Now when using Sulfuric acid to etch the plates, parts were made with Titanium and PVC. Which is impervious to sulfuric acid, so with stock bars of Titanium, thread rods and nuts were produced to create the larger milling machine. I learned many things from my Uncle, mostly how to think out of the box. Oh one item I was curious about in his office, it was a large wooden box that contained a Master Square, he said it came from England and only he the person to use it. It’s used to see how true certain things were still square. He was a Merchant Marine during WW2, a deep sea diver who made a fish tank from his Bell helmet, it was fun see this especially fish friendly epoxy coated unique fish tank with a treasure chest that opened using an air pump, they were goldfish swimming around happily in the Diver Dan helmet. My Uncle told me very little about his time during WW2, other than trying to salvage Liberty ships or drag them off the Atlantic Shelf. I asked him where he was born, it was a coal mine town in Pennsylvania, but he never wanted to be a miner, I guess he saw what it had done to many miners, black lung disease. So growing up he worked to move houses using hydraulic pumps, bug-gel stands and logs to raise and move the houses. Well into his 70’s my uncle was taking Metallurgy classes from VCR tapes. Popular Mechanics was a great magazine that was always around my Aunt and Uncle home. I could go on but he was an amazing person who spoke little unless it was something of interest, he had little time for chit chat, his sense of humor was very witty. Just an all around good guy, I believe he was of Ukrainian descent but never spoke of his nationality, why is it important, despite being an atheist, he was the most Spiritual person I’ve ever known, he lived by the Golden Rule, treat others like you would like to be treated. One final thought, he loved Japanese philosophy or something, he told me that Simplicity is the hardest thing to understand. Whenever a carpenter uses multiple moldings to cover up mistakes, it’s to complicated, measure twice and cut once. Anyways that’s my 2 cents on Creativity and Thinking out of the box … R I P uncle you will always be loved and appreciated by those who knew you. ❤

It’s satisfying to build usable items out of junk. Priceless!

😂👍cosas de genios Gracias por compartir 👌

Now that's amazing engineering...

Крутая самоделка 👍💪✊️🇰🇿

That's a lot of work for a simple sander

Great job, very creative. Something $100 cannot buy..

Brilliant ideas for a good carpenter!!.you're the gread...

Mine is a 2 hp high torque motor with a heavy steel disc right on the shaft with a solid steel, adjustable work table. It weighs about 45 lbs. Found it at a flea market for $10.

Wouah très beau travail mené à bien jusqu'au bout. Ça a du mérite.

Genial espectacular, sin palabras.

The workshop is very clean.

I think the man is a craftsman..I appreciate watching him build it..keep on keeping on brother..looking good

Parabéns amigo ficou muito legal mesmo

Yeah and you're doing a great job showing the materials you're using to spray it and wipe on it to do what you're doing

O pequeno invento de hoje pode ser grande pojeto do futuro.

The world would be a better place if there were more people like you in it. Willing to share incredible ideas that we can watch, step by step, charging us nothing, reusing parts that could have more than likely ended up in a scrap yard. Cheers to you!

Holy cow, dude! You don’t have a Harbor Freight nearby???

Bravo - great fabrication, presentation, and repurposing of resources. My Dad had your skills and made many outstanding tools to accomplish homestead projects, on a budget.

Excellent, thanks for sharing!

Perfecto el proyecto

Es la mejor que he visto idea magnífica. Congratulations is amazing idea thanks genius.

Love this project👍👍

Super diy video !

Outstanding use of recycled material to make stationary disc sander.

Изобретение супер. Зачем учить физику, сапромат. Собрал из говна и палок, главное покрасить, главное чтобы из баллончика. Аффтору, есть куда рости. В следующий раз можно будет сделать из картона, а движок взять от реактивного самолёта, чтобы когда ключ точишь, он не остановился. Ну и клей, маловато. Не везде налито.

Nice workable use of reclaim. With a new tool to boot (very steady)!

nice idea using the hub and brakedisk , those things are way overbuild and should last a long time in this aplication

Car parts are a great resource for so many difrent aplications.

Neat idea. Using cut-off tool one handed will result in you one day getting a serious injury. Use a vise to secure your work then you will have 2-hand control of the cut-off tool.

I rushed this video on, I'm glad I did.

Boa ideia, parabens. Moises. Campo Limpo Paulista S. P.

Отнял уйму времени практически бесполезной самоделкой,все можно поместить в несколько минут.Цените времья подписчиков!

WOW! Good idea. Not only did you use the 3 R’s to make something, you made something very useful. Very nice.

Fellow lefty? In any case, nice build. Seems pretty powerful.

DIDO, from previous comment ..Thanks for Sharing.

I would be careful sanding metal after wood. Those sparks could easily smoulder inside your extractor and cause a fire! Take care.

Nice the brake rotor adds enough spinning force to keep it from bogging down. Works good considering these cost well over 200 bucks for a 12" version. But one flaw I've got to point out, think about this, dont grind on metal and send Sparks into your vacume or dust collector as the sparks will set wood dust and fibers on fire, in fact dont use it for metal working at all the box could have sawdust in it and you would not know it was smoking untill it was too late. Its great for woodworking but the motor needs a separate chamber that can vent into the collection box might be better off with an open bottom and draw dust from below. You need to keep dust out of the motor too, if you look at comercial units they are made of metal, and the motors brushes cant get dusty. It works but id add a plastic window on at least one side. An upgrade might be a miter slot and tilting table. Maybe a jig for doing round parts. I think I spent 112 bucks on my 3/4 hp unit 17 years ago made by grizzly it dosnt have a speed control, these are usless on ac current unless its just a fan. To get speed control off a motor you need a dc motor treadmills use s dc motor from 1.3 to 3hp and can run off 120 volts ac using a rectifying diode and restate. Youll get the same power at low speed as top speed you wont get that with an ac motor. As the voltage drops the motor looses its power. Not the same with a dc motor. Look on youtube at 1" and 2" belt sanders built with dc motors or drill presses upgraded with dc motors. Id like to put one on my 14" band saw so I can cut metal or wood on it, one on my drill press so I dont need to mess with belt speed changes and one on my wood lathe for power and speed control as well as running backwards. Yes ive got an old dryer motor as well as good 3/4 hp motor ready to be used for somthing, but I'm thinking of a buffing station. With 2 buffing wheels. A rough in disk and fine work disk. Both sides can run off one motor.

Great job I got a couple of washing machine motors in shed want to use one to make a lathe but maybe this with the second motor? 😀

Really sweet & practical sander. Good recycling too ! 🌿👍🌟

почти норм. поясняю- часто детали надо обрабатывать типа буквы Г- образные-поэтому диск должен быть вывешен , а не утоплен в гробу. ящик можно надвигать-это всего лишь пустой ящик. в остальном-малаец-клей момент надо только заменить на иностранный. надо посмотреть какой расходник дешевле за м2- лента или диск с ворсом..(валяется пара железяк+ мотор=руки зачесались.)

sparks n saw dust dont get along soon there be a fire in your vac , nice idea on the disc sander

I made an end sander from an old pool pump, half the effort, double the speed and five times the reliability.

Классная получилась машинка

Menuda máquina , fuerza no le faltará ,enhorabuena

Very good craftsman ship it took a while an I was skeptical at first but it really came out nice and saved a couple hundred dollars for a few hours of time and ingenious workmanship

Uma ideia gênial ! Tánto serve pra lixar , como também pra aqueles pessoas que trabalham jarros de cerâmica ! Parabéns show .👏🤝👍🇧🇷🇨🇮

Haters hate. I love your brain. Thank you.

Good! Install ampermeter! Will be amazing!

Хорошая работа 👍👍👍 👍🙏

Maravillosas ideas para la solución económica en herramientas prácticas e indispensables para el progreso de las comunidades.

Fantastic.... congratulations. The interest in the work is your eligibility to be successful on this earth 🌎.

וואו איזו עבודה ממש אומן כל הכבוד רק המחשה ליצר מכונה כזאת

Para bem gostei do.trabalho.joaoalves.❤❤

Amazing workmanship Bro🙌👏👏👏🤝

fun to watch but I picked up a brand new 2hp one at the swap for $60 and I can make a lot more than $60 in the amount of time it would take to build this. great project for someone with time on their hands tho

It is Russians that are the absolute craftiest at this sort of thing. Nicely done.

Beautiful craftsmanship very well done sir

You’ll do well with what is coming. Cheers!

Nice. Thanks for sharing.

Demasiada inversión de tiempo y dinero por tan poco

Very cool, I love seeing no longer needed parts and pieces being used to create Useful items.

You have got to know carpentry, mechanics, electrical and even plumbing and welding to build this thing.

Well done, sir. I love videos like this. The first thing I thought was this is going to be sturdy. Your construction is impeccable. The next thing was WTF is this going to be. Liked and subscribed.

Nice very cool but a trailer hub would been easier to work with and how to adjust the table angle would ben a cool feature. And if sandingblade was above the boxyou could work on over sized items. Last you need a access door if your belt broke

I wanted to see it sandblasted at the start damn it

Oh, it's a Sander, I was thinking that Turntable was going to be really rough on Records!. 🤣

Lots of comments saying a disc sander can be bought for not much money. Saw your reply saying a powerful one is expensive. Serious question - a $100 Grizzly G0787 sander has a 1/2 HP motor. Does this have more power than that model?

Superbe travail merci beaucoup pour la vidéo 📹

Great video, great idea, great execution. Like you always do.

Great job well done, 🇮🇪

Really cool. You're pretty crafty

You will need the center bolt through the hub to keep the bearing working. Wont last without.

Good that he can build that stuff, but there's 42 minutes I'm not getting back. Thanks people

Careful grinding metal after sanding wood you can end up starting a fire in the collection bin.

HIS motors looked like old A/C motors,

Great invention. Thanks

Very nice build. That will last!

Could you provide a link for the speed controller you used with that washing machine motor?

I hav 2 washer motors woul like to make something with them that is an excellent idea , thanks

Thanks for sharing your idea. What is the liquid you brushed on it that turned it black?

Table saw with the Velcro wheel it already has a vacuum port lot faster project 30 minutes tops variable amp 110 switch Box fan motor has 3sp switch less parts box is good idea side port fans clean cooling 2 hours tops

Decent motor controller is the hard find.

I find that it's faster and more accurate to air nail it together with a pin nailer then add all the screws.

Faltou o detalhe da polia do motor, e quanto ao pó não funciona, pois o mesmo ele fica do lado de fora da caixa, portanto não adianta instalar a tomada do aspirador pelo lado de dentro.espero ter ajudado. Abç a todos

Это СИЛЬНО... сложно. Будте проще и люди по(д)тянутся. Спасибо.

Ótima ideia

My only comment would be sawdust collection should have been located on the top (45 degrees from the contact point of the sanding surface).

Very interesting build.

Brilliant engineering Sir👌👌

I ASSUME THE SPRING IS FOR KEEPING BELT TENSION

Great idea but bearing in this wheel hub was worn. Visible resistance during turns. It won't last long if often used. Should start with replracing the bearing...

That’s awesome 👏 really nice 👍

I have learned that it’s not a good idea to hold an object that you are grinding / cutting/sanding with one hand while holding the grinder with the other hand. I have been bit more than once. The second time made me realize I should have learned after the first.

I have a much larger sander that I want to make. You have given me a great idea. Imam mnogo po-golyama shlifovŭchna mashina, koyato iskam da napravya. Ti mi dade strakhotna ideya. Mark

Ganz große Klasse selbstgebastelt.

Nice homemade device. Dryer motor of course would work to. I've considered using a dryer motor with blower assembly still attached and run some duct to it and a vent on the end that flow can be adjusted for shop. Perhaps even rig up the heating element on it as well. With the ability to switch the element on or off for winter use.
