[Part 2] DIY Magnetic Deburrer More Machining and Test Assembly

Patreon Link: / chrisdeprisco
Inspired by some projects I found online ( • Magnetic Polisher and • MAGNETIC TUMBLER MACHINE ) I decided to embark on making my own!
This is part two, machining the final pieces (except the side panels) and doing a quick test assembly to see how it all fits together.

Hi Chris, nice to be here. Use the dychem why not we would. This is one fancy magnetic deburr machine even 80/20 you are building, we use one because we deburr micro machined parts. We like it for helping us get the parts as close to smooth as we can with less hand working and stuff.
Thank you for the share, Lance & Patrick.

I Neglected To Mention Very Nice Work!

If you continue to use a pry-bar on the disc it will warp or be deformed. To correctly remove the disc you will have to remove the center magnetic, drill through the center of the disc and associated collar/bushing, drill and tap several holes, mount a puller and pull the disc.

Yeah, it did. I turned it back down to get it nice and flat again. Nice thing now though is that it isn't a tight fit anymore and slides back off with just hand pressure.

You should’ve drill and tap for a jack screw in the square top pice to extract easy the magnet disc by pushing against the motor shaft

Very nice job, do you sell the machine?

[@danharlan80]

Where does the air get out of the motor compartment if you surround it with solid sides?

[@ChrisDePrisco]

The back plate is vented. You'll see it in the next video. :)

couple drops of locktite will keep that on no problem

Has anyone found any videos of before and after RESULTS of magnetic polishing/deburring....weirdly hard to find.....hmmm.
Spinning media is cool and all, but not the point ;-) Hopefully Chris shows some results! :-)

[@ChrisDePrisco]

I certainly plan on it!

[@piccilos]

did he go over why he wasn't using the Bridgeport much anymore?

[@ChrisDePrisco]

I don't remember if I did or not... The controller has gone all wonky and I don't feel like troubleshooting and tracking down 20+ year old electronics. The controller will stop responding to input after 10-15 mins and the axis sometimes just race off at 100% rapid until they hit the limit switch. To make matters worse, the X axis has a decent amount of play in it and even if it worked well, the programs would have to be transferred by floppy disk (1.44MB limit, then) and the controller can't handle complex toolpaths like the Tormach can. :P
It mostly gets used as a fancy drill press and the occasional manual milling of something.

So, pretty soon somebody gets a bridgeport restoration when you're tired of it taking up space eh?

[@dimitar4y]

That's tank overbuilt! Exhumes manliness (:

[@molitovv]

First! And well done.

Stinky feet!
