I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Hayes Jamie Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Love this book! ruclips.net/user/postUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!
IMPRESSIVE build Will, it has got to be a very good video to hold my attention, you my friend have me hooked on your builds!!! Doesn't matter if it's an hour long, ima watchin til the end. EXCELLENT JOB, MY Friend!!! Keep up the great work!!! 👍👍👍😃.
Same thing I was thinking. Mount one fan at the back top blowing hot air out, then put a square whole in the bottom. Use some AC filter material over the intake hole to keep dust out. Might even stick an aquarium temp gauge on it to monitor the temps inside the box in case the filter gets clogged. But if he's not running it that long each time, it may not matter as much.
Love the build & the fact that u took the time to protect the VFD, I've really been enjoying the video's that you've been posting. But did anyone else see the face in the motor when he had it on the bench at 1:29 lol 👀😁
Wow!!! "Respect brother" that is a friggen awesome custom linisher. I've always wanted a dial up speed control on some of my different purposed bench grinders. You have taken it to a new level with your set up. You have very talented fingers mate, a force not to be wreckon with. Keep up the great work.

WOW, absolutely brilliant work. Everything in my shop is blue, when I saw that big blue beauty of a motor coming out of the box, I was in love. You have truly inspired me and I will do my best to make my own belt grinder. Thanks for sharing your skills.
How come you converted the motor to delta configuration when you are using a VFD? I thought the VFD output was 3 phase, so you leave it on star configuration? Sorry if this is a basic question, but I'm looking at options for running a 3 phase motor on single phase.
I know you put vfd in box to prevent it from dust. But sooner or later it's going to overheat and you'll fry it or get an overheat alarm. Believe me, I've serviced them and seen it happen.
Do you live in Europe or something? I only ask because of the motor. I live in the states and my default assumption is always (ignorantly, I can't deny that) that unless specified, everyone else does. But your motor showed strange voltages for the states (280/480v @ 60Hz), while 480 isn't odd, more like rare since it's the typical line voltage. But I've never heard of anything using 280v before. 240v @ 50Hz seems more reasonable
Did you notice when he unboxed it , I thought I saw 3 phase ? I wondered then what that cost to get his shop wired for 3 phase . I didn't think, that he may live outside the U.S.A. or what type electricity they had in other countries.
You build and do projects on the fly like I do. Temporary and portable paint booth. Why? Because its not necessary To get crazy when all you need it for is a few minutes...Very cool and you seem to work at an amazing pace...Joking. Love the video's and the editing and production of them...thanks Jack
No mate, don't bother answering. Triton router, green Bosch tools, Vegemite jars, and Diggers linseed oil. It rains a lot where you live. Queensland or Northern NSW, perhaps? Or the tropics? Darwin?
Man, I threw away a nice 1HP electric motor about a year ago. How foolish was that? I didn't see a use for it, was trying to clear some of my massive collection of junk. The things I could have used that for... LOL, now I'm depressed. Great video, you truly do excellent work. Thanks for your videos.
I'm new to VFDs so excuse my ignorance, but I know some have cooling fans (presumably for the banks of capacitors and whatnot), is it really good for them to be sealed in a box with minimal airflow? I understand wanting dust protection, just seems like that might not be the best way to go about it. maybe a few holes for ventilation that are filtered would be a good idea? Or is overheat a non-issue with these?
I've never seen anyone use a wood pulley before. I would be worried of splitting. I guess if you picked a hard dense enough wood and don't spin it real fast it would be fine. Any DIY people watching this use wood for pulley? Any good or bad experience? I like the inexpensive factor of wood even though I can machine one out of aluminum.
Great Build! Simple Design. Just Curious....what make and grit of belt are you using in the video and have you experimented with different grits? Once I build mine, knowing something about belt use will be a plus for me ahead of time. Thanks
LOL @ that soldering iron! I know, I know, it works. And if you don't often do fine soldering, getting a proper soldering station seems a bit of a waste. But it's just so funny to see you take that huge chisel to that poor little potmeter. And is it just me, or did I see it quivering a bit? ;)
Very good indeed ! And a nice way to show your well-rounded set of skills =) Two things though : - Is the motor driver cheap ? Because unless it was failing, a new press button and cleaning up saw dust looks like way doable for you. - The fact that the sand belt got no lateral support is scaring me ! Is there some sort of system to keep it centered ?
Very nice! Don't suppose you've got plans for it? I'd like to build one similar but don't know what the dimensions need to be for the different parts in order to fit a 72" belt.
This channel and primative technology are my happy places. No talking, no bullshit, just the simple joy of watching someone make or restore somthing. Its good for the soul.
Great build. I like the idea of using wood components along with the metal to save on cost and it probably dampens vibration some but also adds to the look of the unit. Nicely done. Thanks for sharing.
So is the motor still require three phase 240V or did you convert it when you bridged it? Three phase is pretty rare in most of the US. Please explain?
Any chance you've got a components list, specifically those terminals you used on the wire ends? I've got tons on cable sets like that, I'd like to use them like you did!
Impressive work. All it needs now is a catch pot for the grinding muck I like to add work lights to my projects,good lighting makes a big difference, in my humble opinion. Dust extraction is also a big plus point.
Awesome build yo. You may want to add a hole for the fan in your VFD, at time stamp 17:13 you can see the fan but you have no hole in the back of the box for it to vent, it's just flush against the back of the box. If it's not on much it may not matter, but you'd be dumping the heat into an enclosed box instead of out the back of the box. You can just add a hole and a PC fan filter - you can get a pack of 10 9cm filters off Newegg for $5
+Bob Wehadababyitsaboy thanks for watching and the feedback. Yeah it's something I am looking at in the future, fan/ventilation. For now the box was sized as recommended from the manufacturer for spacing on 4 sides.
I have to agree with +Bob Wehadababyitsaboy. The recommended spacing was probably for an installation in which there would be natural airflow around the unit. You will be dumping the heat from the unit into an enclosed box. Plus with where it is mounted you will be adding even more heat from the motor. You have basically created a little sauna. I would add a filtered opening on the top and bottom of the box to allow air flow.
I would recommend to use a steel plate as the back cover, VFD back cover also has metal heat sink, I think at least for 3HP and maybe not for .25HP and they all could be made of plastic, so VFD back metal will mate with back cover steel plate in your case and it will help the heat to dissipate without entering new air particles. I have seen some special design VFDs which doesn't have internal fan to cool it down because of the dusty environment in which they are being used, so they are made completely enclosed and have bigger size heat sink and those VFDs are bigger in size than traditional same HP variant of different class of same VFD manufacturer and relies totally on heat dissipation as cooling.
That's a beautiful piece of work. I made one a couple years ago from an old used 2 1/2 hp treadmill. it was similar to yours but yours is way prettier. keep up the good work.
Do you think you need a vent fan with a filter on that VFD box to dissipate heat? Kind of beats the purpose of keeping the dust out but you could always put one of those cheap foam filters in front of it. Nice rig and nice video of it!
Nice rebuild. I was worried about the heat build up in the control box enclosure. If she gets real hot, a fan with a filter is easy upgrade. Or even possibly an in / out combo could be wired in to the on off switch.
Again you do beautiful work, however you surely must re handle a lot of hammers and axes to justify that tool. But then when did we ever want to have to justify the want for another tool!! Ha ha
Thanks Craig - yeah I like integrating metal and wood into a project. I'm not real flash at metal working or wood working so have to compromise somewhere and make them work together! Cheers

What a beautiful machine you made man. Looks perfect in every aspect! Well done! :)
+Black Beard Projects thanks mate! I reckon it'll do the job just fine :)

7:32 Guys lets not be spinning up a motor with the key still on the shaft.
Shain Andrews Or she might take off into low earth orbit.
Either your hands are really tiny, or that soldering iron is H U G E.
I can see from the type of tip that Iron has that is a big motherf...er, >50W....
Looks like an electric sword :) great job though
Perhaps you should have bought a new soldering iron too! That thing is a beast!
+Paul McGuinness hahaha yeah true that! I couldn't find my little one so had to resort to that behemoth
Paul McGuinness The perfect iron for doing all those fiddly micro electrons jobs :)
+Mark Wallis perfect for soldering ICs and other fine work :)
Looks made to solder battleships together!
Sometimes, Beasts do the job...
Сразу видно,что руки не из жопы!!!👍👍👍МОЛОДЕЦ!!!
Maybe a few vent holes for the VFD to keep it cool? In back directly behind the fan?
That's what I came here to say.
I thought about that too, but figured that would compromise the dust-proof cabinet.
Same thing I was thinking. Mount one fan at the back top blowing hot air out, then put a square whole in the bottom. Use some AC filter material over the intake hole to keep dust out. Might even stick an aquarium temp gauge on it to monitor the temps inside the box in case the filter gets clogged. But if he's not running it that long each time, it may not matter as much.
Doubt it will ever be running long enough to matter
Wonderful upgrade for an already awesome machine!! I plan on building one soon. Great job!
I watch these videos of yours to relax and soothe my OCD while I drink a beer and smile. Really!
Love the build & the fact that u took the time to protect the VFD, I've really been enjoying the video's that you've been posting. But did anyone else see the face in the motor when he had it on the bench at 1:29 lol 👀😁
Anyone else think Cookie Monster when you first saw the new motor?
Wow!!! "Respect brother" that is a friggen awesome custom linisher. I've always wanted a dial up speed control on some of my different purposed bench grinders. You have taken it to a new level with your set up. You have very talented fingers mate, a force not to be wreckon with. Keep up the great work.
Man.. is there anything you CAN'T build with your own two hands? You're talented as hell dude.
Awesome job! Skookum as FRIG!
I love how you measure every little point before execution.
Very well shot! I love this style of presentation. It's hard to find good stuff like this. Keep going.
+Stranger Robinson thanks for watching and the feedback! I will endeavor to keep making videos :)
OMG, your talent is outstanding! I love watching you do these videos.

A list of parts and where to get them would be awesome.
Expensive motor and controller and a wooden pulley. Now I’ve seen everything.
Good electrical skills and practice. Great job.
got links for parts sources? especially control box components!
Top stuff mate from a fellow Aussie
and another
Sscustoms Subbed to you channel mate
Very nice build, You have an impressive range of skills showing there, where did you pick those up from?
WOW, absolutely brilliant work. Everything in my shop is blue, when I saw that big blue beauty of a motor coming out of the box, I was in love. You have truly inspired me and I will do my best to make my own belt grinder. Thanks for sharing your skills.
Do you have plans for this thing?
Nice build mate. Well done.
If possible could you please share a link for purchasevdetails on the abs enclosure and push button switches. Cheers
2:50 it's science :))) U did a good job, buddy!
THAT'S FUCKING SORCERY @ IT'S FINEST - YOU ARE THE FUCKING MAN..!
fantastic craftsmanship..and i bet the hardware store knows you real well!
+iamrichrocker haha thanks for watching mate :)
за 5 минут сделал его
Literally didn't take my eyes off the screen for the entire video!!! Awesome build! Thanks for sharing. Subscribed 👍
That's impressive. I literally can't even get my eyes to touch the screen. My nose gets in the way.
How come you converted the motor to delta configuration when you are using a VFD? I thought the VFD output was 3 phase, so you leave it on star configuration? Sorry if this is a basic question, but I'm looking at options for running a 3 phase motor on single phase.
Your speed drive gonna heat up
Superb build. Thank you. What model is that vfd, trying to source something not to pricey to try and construct something like this. Thank you.
The Power Inverter does not like to be turned off before the motor stops. I did in my grinder two buttons, one stops and the other turns off.
Do you have a link to the motor you purchased? That is about the size I would like.
Great video Will. Plenty of inspiration for when I get around to building one. Thanks for sharing this :)
I know you put vfd in box to prevent it from dust. But sooner or later it's going to overheat and you'll fry it or get an overheat alarm. Believe me, I've serviced them and seen it happen.
i WOULD HAVE STAINED THE BOX. To complete it? But nice work enjoyed it.
Haha. At 6.30 How many times have I realised I had forgotten the fitting after I have connected all the wires!
Any chance of getting drawings and parts list? Ive got the motor and electronicals covered...most appreciated.
Very nice rebuild, a little OTT, but no hole for the VFD fan and those misaligned and untidy labels 😊.
Wondering about having the cooling fan for the VFD flush with the back of the enclosure?
i like americans. these people keep their minds busy with, positive, constructive things..
One of the coolest thing about this vid is the use of a useless parallel cable. Lots of color coded wires in a single cable... gonna steal that idea.
You seem to be struggling with your screws quite a bit. Is there any particular reason you're not using torx?
well. if you are not american, im sorry, didnt mean to offend anybody. the positive commnets is that counts.
Are you worried about heat build-up inside the VFD enclosure? Is it vented?
Do you live in Europe or something? I only ask because of the motor. I live in the states and my default assumption is always (ignorantly, I can't deny that) that unless specified, everyone else does. But your motor showed strange voltages for the states (280/480v @ 60Hz), while 480 isn't odd, more like rare since it's the typical line voltage.

Do you have 3 phase power for your motor? Also what model of vfd did you have? Great project really inspired me to build one!
Not agree of the wooden wheel but it seems to work out for many times. I have seen some more vids people using wood is it oak or something
Now, that's how you fucking waste time like a pro! Well done fella'
Very nice, I really like it but won't the drive get very hot in that box come summer?
how are you going to cool the vfd ? It will be ok for short uses but if you run it for any long time,.....
Any instructions on the remote control box wiring? I have the same VFD and would like to do this too.
+Tristan Patterson just the design I did in the video. Pause it and use that if you want to
You build and do projects on the fly like I do. Temporary and portable paint booth. Why? Because its not necessary To get crazy when all you need it for is a few minutes...Very cool and you seem to work at an amazing pace...Joking.

No mate, don't bother answering. Triton router, green Bosch tools, Vegemite jars, and Diggers linseed oil.
It rains a lot where you live. Queensland or Northern NSW, perhaps? Or the tropics? Darwin?
I'd put a water bucket somewhere under the rest so sparks don't fly everywhere.
A 3 phase motor and speed controller costs a fortune! I would use a DC motor instead!
Man, I threw away a nice 1HP electric motor about a year ago. How foolish was that? I didn't see a use for it, was trying to clear some of my massive collection of junk. The things I could have used that for... LOL, now I'm depressed. Great video, you truly do excellent work. Thanks for your videos.
Dose your hitachi drill smell Bad when you use it

At 3:54 what are those "jaws" for the vise called ? I would like to get a pair. thanks..............
Are they plastic, nylon, or rubber ???? thanks again............

Will Matthews can you provide info for the electric motor, the VFP external control. Like parts numbers links where we can purchase? Thanks

Is that a 3 phase motor? I can’t seem to find a vfd for a single phase motor?
I'm building a Jeremy Schmidt tilting belt grinder. I'm not finding the correct motor/vfd combination. What did you use?
Nice setup! Could you please provide the info on the new 3HP motor and the VFD you chose? Where did you buy them? Many Thanks :)
Any chance you've got a components list, specifically those terminals you used on the wire ends? I've got tons on cable sets like that, I'd like to use them like you did!

Yeah I've thought about doing something in time. For now, I've just given minimum clearances per manufacturers guidance. Thanks for watching
Damn bro your channel is better than Pornhub
Very nice project! But u need an protection for your feets while grinding lol... Or you build a *spark-catcher* :D
COMPLIMENTI, BELLISSIMO LAVORO. BEL VIDEO, MOLTO CHIARO E DETTAGLIATO. 10+
Awesome work! You need a soldering station. I'd get a little $100 Hakko. They're pretty damn good.
Is there a video of your original build? I couldn't seem to find one on your channel. Thanks.
Very nice project and I like everything you make. But that bandsaw... it scares me!
Quick question: How did you determined that you needed to wire a delta configuration instead of a wye?
its ao relaxing watching a guy who knows his shit:) good vid subbed and raang your bell
Why a 3 phase motor?
It's so complicated.... doesnt your home/shop need to be wired for 3 phase?
BTW, I am watching a 4th video of yours.
All of them are SUPERB.
Nice rebuild. I was worried about the heat build up in the control box enclosure. If she gets real hot, a fan with a filter is easy upgrade. Or even possibly an in / out combo could be wired in to the on off switch.
Again you do beautiful work, however you surely must re handle a lot of hammers and axes to justify that tool. But then when did we ever want to have to justify the want for another tool!! Ha ha
Great job. I'd worry about the sparks flying around close with the plywood and wood stand. But I do worry too much..
Nice job now just need to make a spark collector underneath to cut down on the sweeping
Wow! But damn, that's at least $500 of parts even without the electrical engineering degree to wire it all up haha
misleading title, you upgrade the sander not building it
Well done dude. Thanks for sharing. I love it all but the wooden drive wheel makes it all the sweeter.
Thanks Craig - yeah I like integrating metal and wood into a project. I'm not real flash at metal working or wood working so have to compromise somewhere and make them work together! Cheers
