Video

Thanks! Will be fun looking back on this for years to come, she's already 11!

She was all about it!

That would be the dream, but I don't think I'll go that far lol. I got sidetracked by other projects / life after this video, so I've got the lip, but no drain plug yet... not ideal lol

@@ralphknoll486 I highly doubt there’s a dedicated facility / manufacturers facility. You could call vevor and see though. The price point is really low, so if you need it for pro use, I’d have another on hand or go with a different / US based brand. If I ever have issues with it, I live close to an electric motor repair shop. They’ve fixed up an old band saw, found electronic components for an old mig welder, and other miscellaneous things for me over the years.

Haha, imagine if they did it years ago when they released the godox mount lol

@@MichaelRoachWV FWIW I think your version seems much more substantial than the upcoming plastic Godox adapter. I used my "Roach-dapter" this afternoon and it's solid as a rock.

Yeah, just from looking at it, I could see theirs snapping / cracking easily. I haven’t broken any of my 3 yet!

I'll double-check it again to be sure!

Awesome! It's really lame that godox doesn't make this accessory. Compatibility matters!

@@MichaelRoachWV Remarkable that the gnomes in China haven't stolen your design by now.

I completely forgot I put that in this video lol, not everyone cares for my humor though... Yesterday I got a comment that read "You keep carrying on like a pork chop and you will be lucky to reach 1000 subscribers." lol my response was "lol my goal is to become a human pork chop…" to which I haven't received a reply... yet

lol my goal is to become a human pork chop…

I've got plans for a more minimal / mobile / lighter one in the future. Right now, my shop is a mess, but I can't wait to get it back in order

It should! I don't have an ad400 to test though

@@MichaelRoachWV if you have chance, can you check? From the video it seems that the sqaure part on the back might interfere with the 400 body... Very curious

I bought a semi-cheap one, so I didn't need to mess around with a key all the time Chuck: amzn.to/3w1fb4X Adapter: amzn.to/3TYHtoS

Mine is from Northern Tool, it's the Klutch Fixture Table (essentially, the same product, slightly altered) sovrn.co/y5hswdj I haven't purchased the Titanium table from Harbor Freight

YUP! I got a metal cutting circular saw… it should’ve come with it to be honest 😆

Thanks for the update! I'm still at 0 response from any of the "Product Reviewer" videos lol

No problem, I'm glad you found it useful!

Mine's still going strong as well! I've never had any issues getting it started either, and it sits around for a year / sometimes two years. I've got one of the double-heaters I use in my garage (insulated). I crack the garage door and house door and blow a box fan from the house door.

It's definitely handy! and CHEAP lol

I tried that too lol, mines just too sloppy

Ok, so, Harbor Freight's lying? I was kinda skeptical when they labeled them as 5/8ths holes when I knew this product already existed. I had some doubts that China would swap to imperial just for them, but I was going off *their* specs. Thank you so much! I've messaged tons and *tons* of CZcamsrs who reviewed the new tables, and not *one* of them has ever responded!

I gave that a shot off-camera, but it felt even more dicey with this blade. I'll try that with the good blade next time I use it though!

Well, it took being disabled from 2016-2022 to get correctly diagnosed lol. Went to every Doctor, Hospital, University Hospital and Mayo Clinic Rocheste… twice lol. In 2022, I got diagnosed by a local Rheumatologist… 4 miles from my house. I’ve got plenty more shitty healthcare jokes, and jokes about shitty health, shitty care, etc 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@MichaelRoachWV XD

Thanks! I found a much faster way to shoot them, so I can edit them together in no time now!

My thoughts exactly, way better than the s2 bracket

I've thought of producing these, but sadly the parts are just expensive :/ it seems like a no-brainer product for godox

Truly. It would make the Godox life so much sweeter :/

One can dream XD

Thanks! I have good writers!

That will probably show up in every video :D

I'm not sure entirely what you're asking, but my guess is about the torque converter? A torque converter replaces the centrifugal clutch on the engine shaft. It uses an angled rubber belt to add smooth gearing. The back pulley, or driven pulley is connected to a jackshaft. When it spins, it spins the chain on the jackshaft which is connected to the rear wheel sprocket. I got it from Go Power Sports, you'll have to measure the shaft on your motor to get the right one. Mine was the Coleman 200 Series: www.gopowersports.com/minibike/torque-converter/kits/

Thank you, much appreciated!

Because that requires a 3D printer! 😂 but in all seriousness, I think I found someone who used that solution when I was researching. There would be drawbacks, but it would be much more cost effective to produce. You could also 3d print the prototype and then have them mass produced. This would allow them to be injection molded with a stronger material.

THANK YOU! I’ll try and update the video tomorrow!

@@MichaelRoachWV I got no complaints, though I do plan to make my own larger table eventually, this thing definitely got me started off right

@@suspekt6702 there's no denying they're a tremendous value, but three years later, I'm done threading nuts lol

Thanks for the kind words <3, Hopefully you enjoyed my joke restraint

Dear Mike, Thanks for the kind words! I leaned towards peck drilling here because I was being somewhat cautious with my new creation lol. I needed to build my own confidence that the two bolts would be sufficient to hold the vise, and tap magic burns up super quick lol. I'm going to start using a thicker fluid for one-off holes, and then just use the coolant system whenever possible. Thanks for the kudos on editing... Every time I lie to myself and say, ok, I'm just going to do minimal editing this time... and so far that has yet to happen! The 16mm tabletop has yet to be started, but I've still got a bunch of videos to edit before that happens lol. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!

Yeah, I use up all my creativity on my Dad Jokes sadly :/

@@MichaelRoachWV I mean they are funny dad jokes sooo 🤷🏾‍♀️

So, this is pulling into part 3 of the video that I'll *one day* make. The short version is 60 tooth, I believe a higher sprocket behind the torque converter (bought on ebay), and different clutch springs. I may have also changed the torque converter spring, or maybe the hole too, but I can't remember if I changed them back lol. I looked into the juggernaut, but I was mostly told it's for *fully built* motors and it wouldn't work (I have no idea if that was accurate, but I didn't look into it too hard). At that point though, I was starting to get away from the mini bike. My issue was that I was having more joint pain from my arthritis, and I wanted to carry more camera gear lol.

No worries, we all have to start somewhere! I’m no authority / expert on taps & dies. The set I’m using is just a cheap one I picked up on Amazon. There’s no point in buying expensive taps / dies when you’re just starting out. The biggest thing that matters is your *technique* so you don’t end up snapping one! If you do, with a cheap set, no worries. In one of my mag drill videos I also use a diy “tap guide” to help get straighter threads. Here’s the set I have, nothing special, nothing fancy, SAE and Metric: amzn.to/415eAKG make sure to get cutting fluid and take your time!

I use 8 amp hour batteries on these, and it definitely gives them more pixies to work with! In my chainsaw video, I did a sound comparison with different batteries, and you can hear a major difference in the sound. Definitely get the biggest battery you can, it makes a world of difference with bogging / startup / operating speed.

My producers said I needed a co-host to carry me!
