Excellent build, and powering it from a battery is the icing on the cake. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum last week 😎
Awesome thanks
@@VanoverMachineAndRepair You're welcome. Let me know if you have other homemade tool videos that we can share.
That is a very nice build Kyle, I love the locking hinges, that's an ingenious design and works very well sir! The only thing that I would like to see added to your build is an angle pointer and scale mounted to either one of the table arms with the scale on the side of the machine so that you can set the angle of the table accurately. This will enable you to touch up small inserts to the original specification properly. I would like to have seen how you did the motor and drive set up as well. Ten out of ten for the build though, I love it! On top of that it was good to see you using a great bit of British iron to make your turned parts ie the Colchester lathe. Sadly the company has gone and it was from my home County of Essex in England made in Colchester which incidentally was the Earliest Roman settlement in England in 49AD. The Romans called it Camulodunum.
Absolutely thanks. Motor is in part 1
I has discover your channel the first time , but you are a real machinist.
Thank you very much
Love the old Colchester - the world turns on a Colchester.
Exactly
All you need now is a busted/dead battery, gut it...then wire in the proper voltage/current and you can make a "static" power adapter if needed
Very cool design/build...and seems to work incredibly well and has awesome flexibility and ease of use...checked all the boxes!
Keep em coming!!!!
Very true
Very cool build. I built myself a slow speed carbide grinder earlier this year to get into hand scraping. Now that I have it, I use it on all kinds of other tooling, and this revealed an issue with my design and I think you will run into the same thing too. If you want to sharpen something long that needs to be sharpened from the side (like a HSS blank for example) the table pivots might be in your way. Looking back at the accufinish design I now understand why everything is tucked away underneath it. It will work flawlessly for its intended purpose but it’s one of those tools that work so well and is so handy that you will want to use it on all sorts of stuff.
Yeah good point that makes sense
gorgeous work! i will admit i gasped when you cut the jaws, haha.
lol soft jaws
What a great little machine. I love the use of the Milwaukee tool for the speed adjustment and the battery should give quite a long run time at the speed you will be running.
Yeah 8 months lather it’s the same battery in there so lasts forever
Neat project, between the design, machining, videography, editing I can only imagine the hours you have in to that or any of your other projects. Respect!
Yes you are getting that right. Tons. Thanks
Such a great design! You should sell them. I haven't found any new ones and the Accu Finish ones you can find are expensive!
Yes I know the feeling. Thank you
Nice! This design gets my seal of approval. I love eclectic ways of thinking.
Thank you
And here i was thinking about just chucking a lap disk in the lathe.
That works too. Much quicker
Great machine. One tip: you can get rpm apps for your phone to measure that. I know they exist for iOS and i would be very surprised if there wasn’t anything for android
Probably good point
Here my cheap butt was trying to find the print-out he could put on there that uses the flickering of fluorescent lights to give you the RPMs. Never thought about looking for an app.
I love your design, time you spent making it simple to adjust and user friendly. Even the paint color makes the work very easy to see. Great video, would love to see a set of plans become available.
Thanks for sharing.🙂🙂🙂
No plans lol. Who else is going to build it around an old tool they have. It’s a one off. But thanks for compliments
You thought of everything on this project. Great job. I would have had an ooops about half way in if I was making it. 😀
lol I am sure I did but corrected it
Hey Kyle!
Bring them on!!! We want more! We want more! We want more!LOL:)
Just another success signed by a very very good and humble men that you are!
Thank you so much to not only keeping us entertained but also learning something with and from you! Thank you for sharing and wish you all the best for what is ahead...
God Bless.

Thank you very much for the kind words. Thank you for your service. We have about 20 to 25 videos already shot. I’m trying to edit them without going crazy as best I can so there is a lot of content come.
Very nice design. Works great.
Thanks Randy
Quite the build! I like it a lot. I need to make the table on mine adjustable. Right now, it's fixed at -5 degrees. I'd also like to build some kind of a miter gage into it for grinding precise angles.
All great ideas Greg
Loved this build. I even dig the color.
Appreciate it
I use a V block for bending metal in press.
That works
Came out great, thanks for sharing
Indeed thanks
Great build well done.
Thank you!
great project, you should think of adding a cover to the battery hole, as it is right now it will basically act as a funnel and send all the grinding dust and dirt straight to the battery contacts and cause some shenanigans later on
True all though I have left the battery in the whole time since completion (8 months) no dust and still on original battery.
@@VanoverMachineAndRepair You completed this 8 months ago? dayum! Now I don't feel bad holding onto footage I need to edit lol
@@madmodder123 yeah I am so behind. I film faster than I edit. I probably shot 30 videos since this one maybe 35
That was some fine engineering great job
Thank you very much
Great design and execution 🙌
Thank you
Great Job 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you! 😃
Well done slow grinder I might copy your design
Go for it
Happy Saturday 🌴☀️😎
Same to you
Very nice design Kyle.
Very versatile and ergonomic design.
Maybe incorporate a adjustable miter for fixed positions, tool grinding etc?
What color and brand of paint is that?
Is that the same on your lathe, looks the same.
Thanks Ed. It’s not actually but does look close. It was just krylon spray paint some new vibrant colors they released. Pacemaker was a custom mix.
@@VanoverMachineAndRepair The reason I ask, I have a Storm Vulcan 15C Crankshaft grinder.
I am going to be cleaning up and put back into service.
Storm used some different paint colors over the years.
But I like your paint color.
I hope you and your family have a Happy Easter Sunday.
@@edsmachine93 happy Easter Ed
Great project. Do you need to bevel the back edge of the sliding table so it can go right up to the wheel when the table is tilted down?
It’s done yes
Nice work. You didn't show the knob on the bottom of the table - did you make it as well to match the side knobs, or is it just a commercially available one.
Commercially available
Great video. I’ve watched 3 or 4 of these slow speed disc grinder builds and really like your hinge/table geometry. Not sure I’m ready for the collet-clamp machining though. Curious if tapered cones & sockets might provide similar clamping force… I’m no engineer, so maybe there’s a downside to that approach that’s not obvious to me. Any thoughts?
That could work as well experimentation is key
It's not stupid if it works.
Agreed
Why do you not mind cutting the chuck jaws on your super spacer?
They are soft jaws
@@VanoverMachineAndRepair thank you
Where can someone find 3 inch hot rolled for a buck? All my steel suppliers pound me!
Alro. They are off it’s from messed up jobs
How about designing something to hold the smaller inserts so you don't end up with shorter fingers??😂
lol the grit and speed is so slow your finders will just get scuffed. Now on a belt grinder that’s a different story. If I can handle myself on a 24grit belt at 5000rpm I think I’ll manage at 800 grit at 200 rpm
Wow!! my comment was the first time I've ever commented on CZcams, and I got a reply , fantastic!
I gave myself a rather severe manicure on my linisher recently, that's why I commented. Thanks for the reply and the great content, I very much enjoy you work/channel and attitude. I often wondered about the footwear and thought it was to protect your boots from swarf/oils/solvents etc.
And a haircut!!!!😂

@@glennburnage1604 lol thanks I appreciate it
Now that’s an idea
Did you cut that jaw?
Yes they are machinable
@@VanoverMachineAndRepair excellent job!
@@lucasgarat thank you
Can only be honest..... (sorry) Kind of Ludacris, and a bit lazy to chowder a chuck like that, should have just spaced it up.
They are soft jaws, ment to be cut into. Glad your take away of 70-100ish hours of work on my end is I am lazy on 1 operation.
Bro... i think your work is AMAZING !!, it just hurt me to see that, and "felt" that was a lazy way of hurting your equipment, by not spacing it up, I myself run an Automotive shop, not a machinist per se',so maybe I was wrong, just never saw a chuck chowderd, Thanxx for the vids.@@VanoverMachineAndRepair
Sincerely, if they are "meant" to be cut, my Apologies !! My bad !!@@VanoverMachineAndRepair
