How to program VFD / VSD for a belt grinder
I need to how to re grit these, I’ve tried a couple of things, and it does t work, grit come Off when touching it with a blade
Good video, step-by-step instructions with good camera angles to see how you sharpen. Thanks
What is that? I know it's not railroad track.
This works, thanks!
Good job. Those property lines are really close. I was wondering what the two sunken areas that had water standing in them on the slab? Thanks from Arkansas USA.
Thank you so much for this video. This is all I needed, I am currently having this problem.
You are very welcome!
Problem with etching a Chinese vg10 knife which is pretty much stainless steel Damascus
try Hydrochloric acid for etching stainless, but VG10 is not damascus.
I plan on building one hopefully this year. It's all about trial and error on building stuff on your own. Great job regardless cause it's still doing what you need it to do!
Its had a few modifications and fixes, but still gets used.
I’m a have to pass on this here lump of steel hoss, ain’t no way, I done seen better rebounds in the WNBA
Thank you! Just fixed a bearing that had been a pain for the last days!
Glad it helped!
Sorry but your rebound test didn't show much rebound you want at least 80 percent rebound to be a actual anvil
rebound only shows the hardness, of course this isnt very hard, but its harder than hot steel, and it has plenty of mass.
@FirePantsFabrication other than hardness a good anvil helps you work by reflecting your blows into your work not just displacing it threw your " anvil"
Just used this on a subaru bearing that exploded. Only the race left, Worked great, thanks
Great work.
my ford ranger is like that now when its cold i need to give gas when i start and i have no idle when cold but when its warm i have can it be the glow plugs.
the white smoke is a good sign of a glow plug or compression issue. Pull the rail and check for continuity through the glow plugs, then youll know for sure.
probably better than my solution which is to get a nice mid-width log, some scrap steel plate (admittedly of unknown steel type) and drill holes in it, then bolt the steel plate down onto the log. all supplies and tooling courtesy of a close friend of mine for free. Still, for not having any tools of my own i think it's a great start even if it is not ideal, and it also fosters creativity to overcome hardship caused by the initial lack of tools. Future upgrades include either building a wood table with wheels, or putting wheels on the log itself. If i build the table i have a chemistry solution that can be painted onto wood planks. It turns them jet black and makes them remarkably fire and acid resistant. Should be tough enough to survive stray brief exposure to hot metal.
there will always be a better tool you don't have. make the most with what youve got.
This video is AWESOME THANK YOU so much 👏👏👏👏🍻
any place that does profile cutting should have some 100 - 200mm (4 - 8") sheet steel offcuts.
@@FirePantsFabrication appreciate that
Likelihood of blowing that hydraulic cylinder seal with debris/slag.
you mean the dust seal on the rod? the high pressure seal is deep within the gland.
@@FirePantsFabrication oh nice I was worried junk would get in there and create a leak
If I was U I would replace all brand new while I was doing it plus thanks 4 ur video very helpful
I was lucky to get 12 months before another would blow, I just replaced them as needed. Or do the set and keep the good ones as spares for next time on drops out.
so what was causing the white smoke when cold starting
Не работали две свечи накала.
white smoke is unburnt fuel, without the glow plug, and a cold engine it was missing on 2 cylinders, but still injecting diesel.
This work d amazing for me
excellent, glad it helped.
If the title of this video is “Razor Sharp Knives in Seconds” how come it’s 13 1/2 minutes long?
Learning takes time
Well now I want to etch something❤️🔥
Jesus, do something!
Is the antiseize an absolute necessity, I forgot to get it when I was at the parts store. Will it be ok to run the car for 5 minutes to get it home and then take the plugs out again and put antiseize on later?
it makes little difference.
If they flew off they're probably a half mile away stuck in a wall in the neighbors house😅😂
Where can I find something like this
can you tell me ,where i can get it ! ! please thank you ! !
Are you guys still producing these? Or just the scorpion grinder?
Not any more. We're not even doing the Scorpion at the moment.
A good deal of that deflection problem could be resolved by making the ram connected sled long enough to go behind the stationary anvil. An alternative (expensive solution) would be roller bearings.
the defelction isnt great from an engineering position, but it doesnt really affect the real world use. roller bearings would be a nice touch.
You can tell by the sound it's not right
It's also not wrong. Still going to move metal.
Thanks mate, keen as to see more vids on your ute about anything could really help me out with my bravo
I'm glad that helped, but my courier is long gone now. Some days I miss it, but it needed to go.
Following
Omg. There's minutes of my life I will never get back (but thanks 4 yours) 🙆♂️
You're welcome?
Mild steel is roughly 40lb @ 1"x12"x12". At the price per lb of steel right now that is anything but a poormans anvil
This was from an earlier time. Still it is cheaper than a real anvil still, just by not as much.
@@FirePantsFabrication yes times certainly have changed. Very fine work sir!
Pour some petrol down this and crank it.,...oh diesel..,.. different story
Just like the good old days
Thanks to your video mate! Been asking around lucky i stumbled on your video. Me car had the same issue, changed the glow plugs and bwala! Problem solve.
Thanks mate, glad it helped. Such a simple fix.
The "poor mans anvil" *proceeds to strike a couple hundred dollare block of steel.
Well $2/kilo is cheaper than $15/kilo for a real anvil around here.
Hot damn! Lol. Great size face, and pretty nice rebound. 🍻
Pretty good for the price.
Always wanted to try this but was foiled by not being able to get the wheels . Tried a wheel I made from mdf but found the gringer was a cheap Aldi one that did not have enough power to pull the skin off a thin custard &would not hold the paste. Where can I get the wheels?
I don't know who sells them here anymore, but the MDF will work just fine on a better grinder.
How’s that Aluminum pan doing? 😂
It's still alive, slightly pitted.
Great video nice and straightforward and thank you so much I just removed a outer that I had nothing to get a punch on and I mean nothing incredible trick of the trade 👍
Glad it helped mate. It is a good trick.
🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦👍
sure
You know man, its a big old chunk of metal, that'll work.
Spot on Bevan.
Uncle chop chop lives again.....👍
Thank you so much for the tip👍. I have just successfully removed a stubborn race from my trailer hub. It worked !!! Thank you Thank you Thank you! I didn't even use water cooling at the end, just 4 tabs at 90 degrees apart to give my chisel a grab. The heat did the trick too for sure! cheers!
Sensational. Glad it worked well for you.
Excellent guide mate, thanks. Found my faulty plug in a blink. Only difference is 7mm nuts on my '05 cheers👍
7mm? That's odd. I wonder if an imperial plug was used, and it actually a 9/32". Either way, glad it helped. These utes blow them all the time.
I wish these were available in the US.
I can ship to the US...
Nice simple build. Going to be making a similar version that fits into a Chinese mini excavator, bucket in reverse of usual excavator orientation. Thanks & subbed.
Careful running backwards if there is a quick hitch, but yeah it's simple but still working a few years later.
Horrible rebound but, lots of weight behind it. You could get a one inch plate of something hard to resurface that with
Not a bad idea.
where did you buy that machine
It's just a bench grinder, with MDF wheels.
And fanny is your flippen Aunt. Great vid. Thanks, now to change mine!
Sure is
Od kog materijala su diskovi na tocilu?
MDF
@@FirePantsFabrication nisam vas razumeo sta znaci skracenica MDF? Ako moze malo detaljnije objasnjenje. Hvala unapred!
@@FirePantsFabrication If you can give a better explanation of what MDF is, what kind of wheel is it made of, how can the horse manufacturer find it in order to move it? Thanks in advance
@@jordanpoposki1081 Its medium density fiberboard, I don't know how else to describe it.
