Laguna DP20 Drill Press: First Impressions
After 4 years of wanting to upgrade my drill press, I finally received my Laguna DP20! This video covers why I chose this drill press, what impressed me and what left me disappointed. I have no affiliation with Laguna so I hope I have honestly conveyed my experience thus far: it is like 98% to being a great machine. I'll be looking to upgrade the chuck and I point out a couple other things that could hinder your work.

Solar Panels Inside Windshields
Просмотров 59 тыс.2 месяца назад
I recently ran a pseudo scientific experiment to see how well solar panels placed inside windshields work. If you have a camper van or any vehicle where charging batteries is needed this could be a creative solution that might work for you. Thank you to ALLPOWERS for supplying me with the solar panels. The specific panels I used are the SP029. ALLPOWERS: tinyurl.com/4wz836ts SP029: tinyurl.com/...

Don't Use Threadlockers with Plastics
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.8 месяцев назад
This video is all about common threadlockers and plastics interacting. This interaction can have disastrous consequences for projects and materials, and I learned about it earlier this year when I destroyed a set of LightLeaf Solar Panels by using Loctite during the install. Not all plastics are reactive and not all threadlockers are made the same! Research and test your own materials! I've tri...
I Destroyed The Best Solar Panels: Not The LightLeaf Follow Up I Expected

I knew I'd eventually post an update about my LightLeaf Solar Panels, but I didn't think it would be this soon, or that things would take the path they have. I learned a lesson I couldn't believe I never heard of earlier: loctite and polycarbonate DO NOT MIX. Part science experiment, and part Q&A, this video covers the remounting of my LightLeaf Solar Panels on my Mercedes Sprinter Van. After t...

A water heater is an amenity I never wanted in my van due to how complicated and inefficient all the regular options are. So I finally got around to building my own DIY water heater for our camper van conversion. The main goals of the design were to have it function with a water pump, not lose storage space, and be able to power it off my regular fuse panel. If you found this entertaining, educ...
Dummy-Proof Method to Cut Long Consistent Curves
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.9 месяцев назад
This is a short little tutorial on how I like to make long curve pieces with zero guess work when building furniture or doing woodworking projects. Minimal clean up and by only relying on pattern bits with the router there is almost no chance of messing things up (unlike a jig saw or bandsaw where a lapse in focus can result in a painful touch up process). I use 1/4" thick plywood scraps but de...

Building a Lightweight Van Conversion Kitchen Cabinet
Great process, I too cannot put things away, as I use them, is there a scientific name for what we have?
Great video, I bought the Powermatic a couple years ago, no complains. This looks like a very nice machine. I like some of the features the Laguna has over the Powermatic. My table is finicky to keep in square. I like the positive stop that you have on this one. I can't stress enough how important it is to have a high quality drill press in my shop. Having variable speed without changing belts is a very useful feature. I don't know if you ever worked with plastics, but if you ever need to drill extremely precise holes in plastic, 3000 RPM works really well. Especially if you buy the tapered plastic specific bits from Crackmaster. I figured you'd have to throw away the junk chuck, although Powermatic did include a Jacobs chuck. But I also purchased the precision taper shafts from McMasterbate, along with a couple keyless chucks that tend to work really well, except do not try to use them with a hole saw. Have fun with your new machine.
I don't get how the cabinets are built
As a product design director, you are 80% correct simply because we cannot test for all the insane things people do.
U r lazy
Had you thought of some "grooved" method?
Thank you. I am in the midst of doing a van build out for a person who wants do use it for Occasional camping/ living quarters. I just installed the framework for the Beds whose height can be adjusted by a Motor. As I finish writing this I realize I could have done that better, and set myself up for the next phase which is Area to secure Wall panels and cabinets. Funny thing is it was likely plan number five that are used to install the bedframe. It is strong and will work but now I see a better way. That is what I got from your video. The problem-solving creative process is beautiful, rewarding, frustrating, and time consuming. But if you keep doing it, you will find a way. And don't be swayed by those who minimize What you do and try to get you to do it for less. Likely you are only getting paid for 60 to 90 % of your time anyway. Communicate clearly. Learn to say no. Keep as accurate of a log as you can. Even though that does get in the way of FLOW. Then perhaps realize if you had a safe place to sleep last night, and a good meal today, You are a fortunate person.
Paper plates..lol
I notice you have an fx 115 MS calculator. The best non-programmable engineering calculator ever!
Just buy a new chuck. You know you are going to do it eventually.
id get a used bridgeport for 2k, would definitely be more accurate than that lol. also those digital indicators seem awful for trying to measure ranges, you cant see the needle going back and forth.
That chuck is pretty horribly made.🙈😬👎🥴
You need to buy a better chuck is all... get a Jacob's keyless..
ya ... after you cracked open the case. nope. you can have your eletro-crap.
lol .. first crank makey the weirdo noize.
I don't think that chuck is "made in house" - the drill press I have, which is a generic import one from the 80's has a chuck that looks exactly the same on it, and it has terrible runout. I've not checked yet if it's just the chuck or something else.
How was/is table flatness? Also, is there much flex in the base casting where the column attaches? Nice video 👍
You are stupid all the time or only in this video?!?
Adjustable chucks aren't the best you can do in terms of run-out. In a mill you would use a collet or an end mill holder, not an adjusting chuck.
Boughtmy drill press for $20 at the flea market. Made a better table and fence for another 20. Actually drills a damn good hole...
I agree that the pull up test isn't exactly a scientific test for strength nor would people load them up like you mention, but what about long term stress that comes with cabinets bolted to a van: potholes, chassis twisting, offroad use. Have you been able to inspect your cabinets after a year or so of use?
Did you contact Laguna and did they have a response about the chuck run out?
Jeez. You complain about a 3/1000 runoff. Are you making parts for nasa…? And why do you care about the runoff on the outside of the chuck? It’s completely irrelevant. The important thing besides the shaft is what you get at the end of the bit. Metal can warp over time so you might have the most precise machine but if your bits are shot then you’re SOL.
I was just scrolling through the Laguna website and think that next you should unbox the Laguna CNC Ice Carver. (For ice sculptures). It’s a little pricey at $29K but it’d be great content. 😂
After pricing cabinets a couple years ago I bought a Laguna cabinet saw. I love it, but as it’s my first table saw ever I’m kinda like a virgin who thinks his first lay is epic but doesn’t have anything to compare it to. 😊
Check your McMaster-Carr for Albrecht chucks - save up and get it.
You mentioned getting a keyless chuck. I have a voyager and purchased a keyless chuck for it. I was surprised that I had to turn on a software activated brake to lock the chuck to tighten the chuck. The brake only operates for 15 seconds or so before it releases. DP makes me race to change the drill bit. It's really annoying when installing small drill bits as they don't go in straight the first time. Just something to consider.
I get all my tools at auctions, where you can sometimes get fantastic deals. I have an Oerlikon UB2 drill, and a unique feature of it is you can rotate the head 360 degree, such that you can get the quill pointing up, to do upside down drilling. The whole head also rotates 360 degrees from left to right. It's a bench top drill but weighs in at around 1400 lbs. Was made in Switzerland sometime in the 70s.
Second hand is the way to go. I make almost a living out of it with reselling
I worked for several years with a small crew of folks who "just couldn't put stuff away." As the junior member, that always fell to me. The aisle of our small work trailer would be covered with boxes they had pulled out to get something - a trip hazard. My several college psychology classes hadn't offered an explanation, but one day we were having lunch and I announced, "Guys, I'm quitting next Monday if you won't put away the things you pull out. It's not fair to any of us to clean up after each other." What do you think happened? Did they start putting things away? Nope. And I did quit. I think Adam's workflow process could easily include putting stuff away - if he really wanted to. I wonder if he's a smoker . . . . .
Thanks for the hot tool action!
Very innovative, well done!
Hi, very interesting, thanks.
That collar has nothing to do with precision. Take the chuck apart, debur everything then assemble it with a light oil.
You should have your DTI set with the probe at 90 degrees to the surface for best test accuracy
You've got to wonder about the intelligence of those in charge of company's these days. I know, we'll make a half decent drill press, then, we'll give them a ridiculously cheap chuck at the front end that undoes our entire drill press. Yes, I know you can change it but in the quantities they would buy them, it would cost them an extra 5 quid!!! Better not to add a chuck at all!!!
Is 1/4” plywood from Home Depot okay to use for a cabinet build? Love your channel!
What was that sound 🤔 it sounds like the shaft has a slight defect and it is actually catching on something as it spins, not sure I'd be able to be happy having heard that sound. If anything I'd be contacting Laguna and asking about it 🤔, especially when you pay a King's randsom for these machines!!! I hear what you say at the end of your video but in all honesty the amount of money that we are having to spend on these machines they should work correctly right out of the box 😠. Yes it's not too big of an issue but it shouldn't be an issue whatsoever for the money you've spent. This is one thing that really gets my goat with all the companies selling products that basically we need as woodworkers. It almost feels like oh well it's not exactly right but it's good enough!!!
I'm exactly the same when it comes down to purchasing tool's and pretty much anything else, i alway's wait a few months before buying for the exact same reasons as you said, and here i thought it was just me who's mind worked that way 🤔🤪😂.
Cheapest crappiest chuck they could find. What a let down.
What a nightmare. Thanks for taking time to explain. Very informative. I'd initially looked for info on constructing lightweight furniture 4 and 6mm. I like your overall approach and detail. Thank you 👍
Good Stuff! I was unaware of the Laguna drill press.
The outside of a chuck is not machined for precision!
I’m happy to know that I’m not the only person like this. Like seriously. I am fucking in capable of doing the tiniest stuff, but I will slave to work on cars Four days on end, but when it comes to putting the tools away for 10 minutes, I just can’t do it. Thanks for making this video!
So you got 250 watts or .25 kWh per day? At 16¢ per kWh that is only 4 cents per day. Not worth our time to set it up. 🥲
You can directly buy it from Taiwan, they will be way more chipper but same quality.
There is something rubbing on the inside of the machine. You are definitely a tester. Your intuition was right.
Hello! Starting on a trailer conversion, but similarly looking to save weight. Did you have a plywood supplier in Denver?
The issue I have is it’s too hot, I need to keep the heat out
See if you can find " ROHM" chuck somewhere and order it. They have different levels of accuracy for sale, but even the cheapest ones are pretty much better than any stock chucks on any drill.
I got an old German Flott machine. 300 pounds - and excelling here
I have a feeling using wood/glue for the cabinets rather than aluminum might also be quieter while driving. Metal seems like it would be difficult to get not to squeak. Am I wrong?
