Refining the power feeder I built when I made my baseboards. Using a roller skate wheel and a brushless cordless drill. woodgears.ca/machinery/power_f...
MrTeknotronic, my dude. Maybe take a moment to think about how bearings work, and what would have happened if he'd left it in, and get back to us on this.
Not sure how durable that would be, because the epoxy would be dealing with the torque of pushing a not-insignificant length of wood through a running saw. My instinct says that's not ideal, but it could work.
Yeah, certain You Tube gems like Mr. Wandel are fun to go back to their early days and see how they started out, then look at some intermediate videos. It sure gives you an appreciation for how they do their videos now.
Fantastic idea as usual. I really appreciate you going over your thought process as you build it. It is immensely beneficial to not only to know how to build something but why you build it. Thanks again
Dude that is so ingenious. You should patent that & sell to Bosch as an add-on attachment they would sell....you deserve to be compensated for your ingenuity
Between Matthias and "gear show", I always learn something on all their videos. They each have a knack for coming up with unique solutions and methods for the project at hand.
Hi Mathias I Love how you Explain what you need, How you build it to a working conclusion, and allow people to learn the thought processes on how to make not only this project But How to think on future projects Very Much Like Edvard De Bono - Lateral thinking a way to think outside the box and to look at a problem, and not just see one answer, but many ways, of achieving the final results Well done mate Tony
Great video Matthias, and it couldn't be more timely. I am about to make a who bunch of molding and trim for my kitchen and I am most definitely going to make use of this.
A bandsaw as a wood lathe....MIND BLOWN! You are something else man! I want you to know that I am a person revered for my intelligence in the IT world, and you sir, I pay homage to!
Hi Matthias. Thank you. The bit about the brushless drills is very helpful for me. I have been looking for a way of motorising a metalworking mill table and need a slow running motor that does n't overheat - or shut down in the middle of a job. Cheers. BobUK.
GRIPPYER , Lmao . Gyro Gearloose you are a genius. I absolutely loved the way you turned a bandsaw into a lathe. I am pretty good at improvising but you are in a whole nother League from me. I take my hat off to you. Best wishes my friend .
I'm going to make one of these tomorrow! Been trying to figure out how to make one of these for our cheap hot air edge bander. Next might be a box joint jig. Your long reach c clamps are neat all out of wood, but two pieces (cut one in half) of pipe and two 90s is what I did for the frame.
Those are inline skate wheels, roller skate wheels may be useful as well. They are generally wider, but smaller in diameter, and the better ones are capable of high RPMs, especially with quality bearings. I greatly enjoy your many jigs and fences, it helps so much to see the development process.
Matthias comes in 2 flavours. you can have him - obsessive compulsive precision to the micrometre. OR! ...... junky random - this stuff is not important so it's close enough. This makes Mat the best woodworker ever. Skill and exseriance and knowing where to spend the time /bow
It is necessary to equip the thrust ruler with a mini motor with a roller and a start switch or an optoelectronic pair and a power source from the machine's network. Excellent addition for the machine!
Even in metal, and even using hand taps (rather than machine taps, intended for power tapping), a battery drill does a better job than turning by hand. Old metalwork teachers will tell you otherwise; that's one of the perils of "knowing too much" -- dismissing something you haven't tried is always risky.
I wish you would revisit this. Use an old corded drill and wood gears to make a 3-4 wheel power feeder. You said you don’t need it but I think your viewer base would enjoy building it as much as using it. It’s really useful, and too expensive for most people to buy. And everyone can find an old corded drill.
I think what I like best about this is the safety implications. Adding an overarm dust collector to the feeder would reduce the odds of cutting a finger while at the same time lowering breathable dust in the shop.
Amigo Matthias W. Usted es un hombre muy ingenioso y su investigación y trabajo tiene que llevarlo otro nivel, asesorandose con un inversionista o empresario de manera de patentar y comercializar tanta creatividad, colocando al alcance de todos, estos inventos que no solo facilitan el trabajo sino que en medios de seguridad son buenisimos. Muchacho tienes que explotar tu creatividad. Estoy sumamente asombrado. Felicitaciones.
I love that you say the DeWalt is too big and bulky, yet the other drill is fatter. I've always found the DeWalt brushless drills and impacts to be very svelt. The Craftsman brushless drill I have is much more heavy and fat comparatively.
