With that open motor you are going to want to fab some kind of dust shield to prevent or minimize the amount of metal dust that gets inside the motor. At the very least, you’ll want to blow that thing out frequently using compressed air. Or, eventually find a sealed motor.
And if possible move all grinding sanding and cutting to a second room or one corner of the workshop
@@cedhome7945 is this CED as in Consumer Electronic Distributors?
Do you want to sell the 9" disc . I can use it.
I am curious why you didn't use the original pullies and just switch them.
Dude, that's badass! I have one of those and it completely sucks out of the box. I have to switch it on, then spin it manually for it to get going and once it's going, it bogs down so easily. I am going to do this with mine!
I'd also fab up a new belt guard once pulley sizes are settled. It's too easy to mutilate a finger or three with hands working around open V pulleys.
I did a similar mod to one of the 914mm horizontal belt sanders, although I gutted the junk internal motor and fitted a V pulley into the armature core by using spacers
to maintain the motor frame and bearing positions. I then cut a slot in the right end of the cast iron body and fitted a proper BTH induction motor outside and on a false base. That thing has served me for nearly 20 years of hard metal grinding, only shredding the internal tooth belt once (the Chinese original) but the Gates replacement has lasted about 18 more years... lol. It's one of the best upgrades you can do, apart from fitting my pedestal drill with a 2KW DC motor with PWM speed control, reverse and auto start...
Always hot rod your workshop gear...
Can you repeat that?
How has it held up so far? I can’t find any updated videos
Love tool upgrade videos
I genuinely like this idea, by putting a larger motor on it for more torque output. But what is the total Max RPM of the belt and what is the RPM of the motor. You can get those motors in a 3600 RPM or a 1800 RPM. You'll want to match your belt accordingly once you figure out your pulley ratio. Those hobo freight induction motors suck!! I went through three of them. It started up and ran fine for a day and then just internally short. The field windings have the worst coating of epoxy and fail right out of the box or shortly after. I finally opted to go a different route and just ran a treadmill motor after the 3rd one. Hope you have better luck with them. Also being dual capped has nothing to do with startup speed it only means one is your startup capacitor and one is your run capacitor.
I need to get myself one of these.
I was just reading reviews on the new model. Seen this suggestion. New one is 3-bills, 3hp motor is 2+bills, new pulley and bearings = better model?? If I went this route I'd just go ahead and add a motor drive/inverter. That route, I could get a 3~ motor (pretty much any HP I wanted) free to offset the cost of the inverter!
Inverter control would control start up, you could have it soft start and ramp up, even adjust the Hz to run more efficiently. But like you state; not wanting to be culpable for anyone else's electrical abilities ;)
Did I miss the bearing upgrade?? I'd love to see the update!!
Any updates? Im about to attempt the same conversion, but dont want to disassemble it if it's not worthwhile. Thanks!
With a pulley system driving something that has resistance, Dont go to small on the driven pully wheel The driven needs the pulled torque the longer arm gives. Go big on the driver, but dont go to small on the driven.
The title of the video isn’t lying when it says “huge improvement.”
The HF link is dead and it looks like they discontinued this model...too bad, I wanted to get one and try the upgrade
You should've swapped on a Tillotson.
Please bring back the Duromax 999 I'm dying to see it back in action and better than ever please bring back
So I have a 1.5hp Briggs my governor blew up and I want to switch to a carburetor got a filtered one that filters but i need to buy a tank and a kit
Any updates?
Tarly Fixes all gave you a shout out in his reverse engine vid.
I didn't know that
Great content
I wish us Canucks has access to this stuff for the same money. $450 up here for a comparable unit.
Where’s the link for the 3hp motor that you used for this
Does that on off button switch have a name, and where did you buy it?
where can i buy equipment for the machine so it can be like this please help me
Can you rig that kind of motor on a bike?
Would it work if u swapped the two pulleys around?
i wa sjust gunna say the same would be mega fast lol i did it on one of my old ones wihtt he og motor went like stink
If the motor doesn’t have enough power, it would slow/bog down to a stop
Not me screaming at my phone “WAIT! SWAP THE STOCK PULLIES FORST!!!”
Get a shorter belt (Tractor supply) and make a hinged motor plate.
I'm located in TN, me know if you need any parts laser cut for the channel.
What's up !!
Well... I bought one 3 years ago and have used it for nothing BUT metal work... One of the best tools I've ever had... But the motor is wearing down...
what happened to the "completed" video?
Belt Guard?
That's why women live longer than men.
@@sethmcavoy7672 That's a profound observation...
Dont need one.
@@unclejohn5012 I wonder if OSHA would agree with that...
Used quality metal sanders are always on marketplace for under 300 and you dont get super junk harbor freight sander.
I cant imagine this gomer is using an AO belt on this. Hes way too equipped for me to believe hes using an AO belt , but it looks that way.
Nothing.....nothing is happening. Please stop asking.
@ 0:44 you say the sander is $250 bucks, not so the sander from Harbor freight is approx $79
That's for the 4x36 sander. The one shown in the video is 6x48 I believe, which is approx. $250.
Q-TIP wassup?
$500.00? Why not just purchase a real belt sander
He on this video that he has $500 roughly in this one and the grizzly belt sander. The same size will cost you $500 but it’s not near as strong as this one is now.
