Grinder Wheel Side Wobble
zhlédnutí 17KPřed 3 lety
I've been searching for a decent low speed grinder that's of equal quality to my high speed Baldor to use for sharpening my woodturning chisels. When in the store, every grinder I've tested all seen to have the same side to side wheel wobble. My Baldor never had that issue. I've wondered how so many turners can use the same import grinder and not complain. I've come to the conclusion that some ...

@@thewoodwork_cathank you!
Excellent explanation 🙏🏻👍🏼
Do you happen to have link to the file?

Great idea! Though. personally, I would have modeled it with a slot that is slightly more narrow than the saw blade, then used extra perimeters. I think it would create a lot of rigity and expand the life of the part.
I thought of that but only the front face needs to be strong. Even at 20% infill the font face shouldn't be cut into again at the same angle. With no slots, you can cut any angle you want on either side.
You shouldn't make such sharp corners for your grid gasket. A radius of about 3/4" would allow the cord to bend more easily, so you keep as much vacuum seal as possible.
I agree, the template radius looked more gradual than the end result on this first go around. My current pads and template for making them are more rounded. However, they also work fine, no apparent loss of suction since I can pick up my MFT by pulling up on the workpiece when on.
Used it now. Works flawlessly. Would it be feasible to buy longer steel rods if you want a bigger circle, or would they flex too much?
I wouldn’t think you’d notice flexing if using two correct diameter steel rods. If the bit make a 1/16” deviation I don’t think anyone would notice.
👌👍🤝😎
Very interesting. Mine has the impeller not working so it does not sink to the pool's floor, but rollers are working fine for 20 seconds, then all is dead...Do you think there is a way to open the motor case or it is permanently sealed ? Thank you. Boy those motors are expensive...
You can open it up, it's just a rubber seal, no silicone sealant used that you'd break and have to reapply. Just reassemble nice and tight. The impeller usually don't turn on at the start to sink it until after a 30 second or so initialization, it sounds like it's failing before that so the impellor doesn't turn on. That's what mine was doing when I had to replace it. Since I've done the video, it's still going strong.
@@thewoodwork_ca OK, thank you...I just had the impeller running again by removing the impeller and turning a few turns the impeller shaft with a pair of pliers to''unseize'' it.... The robot was in storage for the winter, so it was probably seized a little bit. Works again like new...fingers crossed....
I'm attempting the same thing but unseizing the motor with force, it might work but absolutely will seize again. The bearing is probably dry. I will try to get to it, lubricate it and report back later to say if that worked. Hayward does not consider parts inside the motor unit to be servicable so there is no help out there to follow.
Ok It wasn't easy but I managed to pack some new grease in the front bearing of the impeller motor. The bearing is sealed with a rubber ring so it was easy to pry it off. Due to the design I could not properly remove all the brown and black garbage in the bearing but I added some fresh grease to fill it up. Seems to run well for now. I'll come back to this comment over time to track how long it lasts.
awesome.
I enjoyed the multiple attempts to screw the nut onto the left handed shaft thread clockwise.
Thank you so much for this review. I had a problem with my grinder and didn't have a clue how to fix it. Now I'm off and running excellent work.
thanks for your effort ,I will try to do this same vaccum ,system
Thanks a lot for the video. Trying to come up with a small system for my cnc.
Heck to the yes! I was looking for a solution like this!
imported to where?
Not referring to the side wobble here, but i thought id throw something out. One of my wheels was running true, but out of balance. I decided as counterweights, to add a large washer to both the inside of the wherl and the outside next to the nut. Were talkning a large fender washer size. I planned to remove 25 or 30 ish percent from onevside of each washet. One side would be lighter, the other side heavier. Anyway before shaving, the side off of one washer I installed it. Then I installed the grinding wheel with its original washers. I tighten the nut finger tight I became quite alarmed when loosenung the grinder nut that's how I just installed finger tight, quite gently. Somehow with a second washer on the inside of the grinding wheels original washer, this tightened up the nut so tight that i needed a wrench and a hammer to tap the nut loose. The torque from the grinder revving up allowed the wherl to slip, thus tightening the nut way more than finger tight. I decided then not to invent a better mousetrap. Great video, thanks for making it. 👍
If both wheels are running true but off balance and you dressed the edge of the wheels so they are flat I’m not sure what would cause your off balance. Maybe the density of the wheel isn’t consistent.
All very confusing, you show a wobble on the white grinding wheel, then use the special washers on the diamond wheel, which you didn’t check first.. If those special washers are a snug fit on the shaft, there’s no way they can move to give any adjustment… You should have used them on the white wheel to see if there was any improvement…
@@thewoodwork_ca I did some experimenting myself, as I'm setting up an old 6 inch grinder. I found a thick, 1/2" wide washer in the metric at the hardware store. Its diameter was much, much closer to the shaft diameter. As you just stated, regular washers are too sloppy of a fit. This metric one seemed like it might work, so I tested it for fit. My plan was to lob off a good portion of one side of the washer to make it behave as a counterbalance. Anyhow, before modifying the washers, I placed one washer on the inside against the shaft lip, then installed grinder wheel with both of the grinder washers still in place. I wanted to see if the wheel wobble was any better. I turned the grinder on and it was no better, no worse. When I tried to take the nut off, I couldn't twist it off with my fingers. A dozen balancing attempts before, I had put the nut on finger tight and had been able to remove it with my fingers. 🤔 Well, with these two washers on the inside, they must have allowed the wheel to spin against the but, this tightening it. I put a wrench on the nut and had to tap it fairly hard to get the nut loosen. It was tight enough to be scarry. I ditched my attempt to use additional washers for balancing.
In the early 1990’s I purchased two of these style of planes from a famous American woodworking tool catalog company. One was a chamfer plane the other a round over, both had wooden bodies and a metal shoe with a steel blade. I sharpened and honed the blades to be stupid sharp and put them to testing. The planes had a difficult time with the Native American hardwoods I used due to grain changing directions. I did not like them at all and wound up throwing them in the garbage. I stuck to a hand plane or router bit and have had predictable cut quality every time ever since.
Good thing I found your video that I need , thanks
Thanks for the information. Very helpful!
Doesn't look reconditioned, used definitely but not reconditioned
You sound excited lol
Enjoyed the video a lot, thanks. You have some mighty fine tools, wonder if I just watched the best equipped workshop on CZcams.
Also woodpeckers isn't painted..it's anodized. That and the steel quality in the blade, the blade moving back and forth and probably 20 other things is why woodpeckers is so much more expensive. You're actually paying for quality with them
You actually don't have to take the face off. Just screw it until it comes out. Screw the new one in or that one back in once sharpened
Subscribed because you were kind enough and intelligent enough to tell what router bit you used.
Excellent vid bud. 🙏
Awesome! The knob from the edge guide works perfectly btw.
take the labels off the wheels and remove all the glue, thats how i fixed my grinder
Hi how are you...quick question ...I noticed a few motors at different prices but they all look the same...will all work for this model?
For my pool cleaner the motor was part# RCX40000DC. They should advertise the part #. I wouldn’t buy any other motor unless it’s the correct part# or reference the pool cleaner it’s compatible with. They’re too expensive to make a mistake.
Where did you purchase the parts from?
I bought mine from Amazon, it was a Amazon warehouse offer so possibly a return or damaged box at a discount. In the motor box they included that parts bag. Not sure if that’s what’s normally included.
You skipped over the 'plug removal' Did you use needle nose? There is no-way mine is unplugging without pulling the wires out
Great video, thank you for sharing
I have made a padestal for my 8 in bench grinder. It weighs about 37 lbs. The problem is that when I switch off the grinder and it is slowing down it tends to resonate and vibrate at 2 rotating speeds. Can u suggest a solution. Thanks
There’s lots of stuff on the internet of things to try but other than making sure your shaft isn’t bent or your flanges aren’t flat, most people blame the wheels. CBN wheels are balanced and you can’t dress them so they can go out of true or balance. Lots of things can cause a wheel to be unbalanced like the weight or density of material heavier on one side. If the wheel loose and hanging on the shaft, you tighten it and dress it true that means you took material off one side more so it’s not the same density all around any more. Make sure those bushings are super high tolerance. Plastic loose ones could make you true away your wheel badly.
How wide are your can wheels and what did they cost. Thanks
I got them from woodturnerswonders.com 8” radius and an 8” mega square. 1” face. Prices are on their website, great people to deal with.
Thanks for supporting China crap
I will never buy a product from a company that steals someone elses design.
Very nice idea!
I do the same, sand off the red paint and sharpening the cut head....
Your original problem is not a problem with the grinder, but in the grind stones. I have the same grinder, and had the same situation, with the original white stones, As soon as I installed CBN wheels, without any fancy spacers or washers, the problem disappeared. I have been using this set up for four years now, and they are still running true, without me having done any further adjustments.
I should have tried testing the wobble without the spherical washers to see if the problem carried over to the cbn wheels and if I needed them. But seeing as how when I tighter the nut they shifted over a bit I think I did benefit using them.
highly recommend this purchase!
one of the main things that make an important difference between high end tools and cheap versions is the blade/cutter steel quality. High end steel with better edge retention and durability cost more so when it comes to anything with an edge that you expect to be cutting with often you definitely get what you pay for. Something I learned very fast coming from the world of knives.
Very interesting issue. Thanks for sharing this! czcams.com/video/zmORY861Y5U/video.html
Amazon has the knockoff for $5.31 now.
The cheapest one I see in Canada Amazon is about $21 with free shipping. It’s crazy how low they’re going. People are looking at the carbide blade version now maybe.
Beautiful box Bob!
what kind of cutter did you use here?
Just a simple upspiral bit to plunge and then cut.
A better version is the HONGDUI Woodworks Chamfer Plane Double Cutter. Very high end too even superior to woodpeckers.
Doubtful. They're all usually made in the same factory minus the woodpeckers which is made in house. The rest are made then individual companies buy them with names, put their own name on it and that's why it's so many companies offering the same exact thing
hi sir iam new, can you help me, i want to know why people still using edge plane since we already got router / trimmer machine?
