    Fun fact: It took me two days (and a broken allen key) to figure out how to take off those shaft extenders. Yep... Two days! Crazy right? I almost gave up because afraid of breaking the shaft or rotor. I'm glad it eventually came loose! These new bearings run sooo smoothly... I love it!
    If you want to know more about any particular process shown in this video be sure to check description, I always write a very detailed list of operations and product used.

    That came out awesome! It’s a beast... One tip I’ll share even though I saw your threads were right when you put on that buffer wheel. I usually stamp an “R” on the end of the right side spindle end during disassembly so when I reassemble I’m sure to put it back together correctly the first time. It only took once after reassembly and having a wheel come loose on me to learn that trick. Luckily I was able to shut down just as it started wobbling... Note to self: The nuts always tighten against the spin direction😉 I’m sure that will outlive is all, it’s a gem! Thanks for taking us along!

  • @poepflater
    @poepflater 5 лет назад +1

    Thanks for the share.... A nice trick to make your paint stripper stretch is to wrap the freshly painted pieces with plastic bags so it cant evaporate and dry out. It reduces the aggravation a bit.

    This is one of those projects where a sand blaster would have made it so much easier. But in the end the thing came out beautiful.
    But that paint... that has to be the best part. I have an old 60s 94 inch bandsaw and a large belt sander from the same manufacture and era that I will be restoring and painting the same.

  • @loupanella9632
    @loupanella9632 4 года назад +4

    That was just amazing! I was wondering if you were going to sandblast the surfaces to bare metal before painting. I have never knew there was such beautiful metallic paint that can be put on by brush.

  • @unclefuddelmer9224
    @unclefuddelmer9224 4 года назад +3

    The “plaque” at 4:03 is the motor’s descriptive nameplate. Gives you electrical details of the motor ie; hp, voltage, amperes, phase, cycles, etc. Sometimes a magnifying glass helps to read it Or, you can bring out the details on the plate by wiping over it with oil or a darker liquid. Lightly wipe it in order to help the lettering retain the fluid. Hope this helps🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    Delightful job. One thing that concearned me alot was the wire wheel.... I personally think that the wire is thin enough to get poisoned by small amount of rust that makes small wire pieces flying everywhere while using. If you are going to use the grinder in your shop i highly suggest getting a new wire wheel, just for the durability :)

    @rong-man1502 2 года назад

    Super job. With that said, there a couple of questions. I’ve used wd 40 on a couple of projects for lubrication on bearings, but instead of lubricating it cleaned the bearing surface and quickly caused the bearing to seize up. I’ve also tried using it clean electrical contacts on an electric mower. As soon as I turned the mower on, the wd 40 shorted the contacts and burned up the switch. How did you use it lube the armature bearings without having yours seize up? You also used it on the contact/on-off block. Did you wait several minutes and letting it air dry before mounting it to the housing and wiring it up?

    And maybe solder the crimped connectiond in the next restoration that will make better contacts and makes em last longer
