I am very proud of you. When your ideas fail, you still show your failures to the world. Good job and hopefully your work will be better in the future.
Thank you so much for your support, I have certainly debated a lot about whether to post the video, my fear has been vulnerable to my reputation. But some people have helped me understand that even the best makes mistakes and it is okay to make mistakes and learn and grow. Thank you for watching the video
If you look carefully, you will see that the drive shaft of the motor broke off. That shaft is not designed for significant side load coming from cutting forces and unbalanced chuck. The drive shaft in angle grinder is primarily subjected to torque load and small side load coming from gear mechanism. Some shafts might even have a groove right in front of the bearing to accommodate circlip. That is a serious stress concentrator for bending loads. However, the idea is nice if collet chuck supported with its own ball bearings would be used.
As a FIXED MAN from DIYFIXMAN, this video was not shew failure, but to lecture other fellows in the same hobbies of workworking from choosing the right parts of DIY projects, in my opinion you choose the wrong drill chuck instead of trimmer chuck which is slim & lighter in spinning bits, thanks God you were ok, keeps on new projects man..
Thank you for sharing your failure! Is a good lesson for all us to be more careful on equipment modification. This is a nice show case on why in every manual they set that you should never modify the equipment or use it unconventional.
There are a whole lot of dangerous (even more dangerous than this) angle grinder adaptations on RUclips. Glad you published this as it may discourage people from building them.
The chuck came loose because it was only being secured by a small allen screw. The allen screw itself wasn’t even tightened fully as you can see by the angle that the allen tool was being used. A chuck on a drill normally doesn’t rely on an allen screw to remain secured.
Unfortunately, this configuration will always fail due to the compatible coupling between the shaft and the chuck, unbalanced, mainly mechanical instability.
Good that nothing happend to you my friend ! It was not a good idea to take the front gear off as you have seen that the axis is too thin and you are right. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for sharing such a scary and embarrassing event! Hopefully it'll help prevent serious injury, to a fellow woodworker, in the future. I wish that you would have explained what caused the failure, however. I've only been a woodworker, just over a year and I was completley lost. Thanks to @EitriBrokkr and @Goran Visnjic for their explainations. Y'all were both great helps at straightening me out on this issue.
Thank you very much for this post because I was thinking of building the same thing. I liked the way you built that but now I gave up that project. I will always use dedicated tools. Thanks in spirit for warning us against a bad injury. Great post! Happy to see you all right bro. Now, next project.. :)
I would presumed that the shaft from the motor has sheared off. Probably due to the side force as the cutting bit was digging through the wood. Looking at the diameter of the shaft, it appears to be too small to take any side loads. It was ONLY designed to drive the gears inside the original grinder itself.
You've got lucky, thanks for sharing. I was wondering if the Chuck was a bit to big for the grinder. I'm planing to do a trim with a shaker motor, the Chuck will be inside a pipe. Best regards
Acabo de ver tu proyecto... que por cierto nos enseña a que detalles NO debemos pasar por alto, en algunos casos. Que bueno que solo fue un susto, nada mas. Gajes del oficio. Hoy fue un fallo, mañana será un éxito. Saludos desde Perú👍💪
u are lucky ur not injured.as for me i was making a disc sander, wood is 7 1/4 diameter it broke hit my upper right side of my breast also under my chin just one week ago ...i forgot to video i was just starting to spin it ,luckily no serious injury but it leaves a scar
When I saw the chuck I instantly knew it had to be the (major?) culprit. I also was confident in those 2x's (pine/Douglas Fur?) and the plastic/acrylic base.
Thanks for the video .. sharing mistakes take more courage than a successful one ... Btw did you try it again ..I wanted to make a router for myself out of my angel grinder bt now I am not sure
Все дело не в большой скорости двигателя... по-моему. У некоторых фрезеров скорость бывает 30000. У вас слишком длинный шпиндель для патрона. И, как мне показалось, - диаметр мал. Так же нельзя не брать в расчет еще и плохое качество металла шпинделя.
When I see the material used for production, I would be afraid to turn on something like that at all. Just a drill head is nonsense. A collet must be used. No wood to make, but steel or aluminum, no plastics!
sorry but it was obvious, the shaft diameter is too small for the cutting force ... a rigid ball bearing as a support with an adaptation would have been recommended, a good idea however as for very fine and not deep points or strokes
Do you want way do that ??? I will till you because rpm grinder very high about 30000 so that not work use drill is better because it slow rpm will work
If you have the money to buy that kind of tools, why you want to try to do make a diy stuff? Yor workshop is not poor.... You dont have the need of make your own tools...
You only posted a few hours ago I thought, asking if you should still go forward with this failed video. If you weren't intending on posting it then why was the video already finished being edited? It appears that you tried to trick your viewers into thinking they had part in the decision-making process when you actually already made the decision. That's unfortunate
I uploaded the video but did not post because I still had a hard time deliberating, after consulting with several parties I decided to post the video anyway Jesus reason I have to deceive my viewers ??? They are the ones because of where I came from nowhere! Thanks to them, I keep making videos
I am very proud of you. When your ideas fail, you still show your failures to the world. Good job and hopefully your work will be better in the future.

you are a hero brother, bet you saved and will save many from injury. our world needs more like you
And thats why routers, or milling machines use collets instead of chucks. Drill chucks can not handle sideload
If you look carefully, you will see that the drive shaft of the motor broke off. That shaft is not designed for significant side load coming from cutting forces and unbalanced chuck. The drive shaft in angle grinder is primarily subjected to torque load and small side load coming from gear mechanism. Some shafts might even have a groove right in front of the bearing to accommodate circlip. That is a serious stress concentrator for bending loads. However, the idea is nice if collet chuck supported with its own ball bearings would be used.
I think it will work good if you replace drill chuck with 8mm collet. Drill chuck is not design for high speed.

Very nice video and warning lol too lol. I just bought a router on sale for 39 dollars, and they had cheaper ... so save the grinder lol!!

thank you my friend! Thank you for your support
Good on ya, Mate! You have probably saved a finger, eye, or internal surgery for some DIY'er.. Top Marks for your honesty.
Thank you very much my friend
nice sharing lesson learn. i will use aluminum next time
fortunately, no victim injured here!
stay care on ur safety ..bro!
thanks bro
great idea i think it possible to make stable version of this. just don't stop keep working, don't forget safety first
Thank you so much friend for taking the time to watch my video. You're definitely right and I won't stop trying

Thankyou This video may have more value showing failure than if the project had been a success
Thank you 😊🙏🏻. Something to learn
chuck with a threaded attachment screw into a threaded shaft is much much much more secured than a set screw which cannot counter the turning force.
Thanks for posting, you've charged my mind, I'll just need to buy a separate router.
Thanks bro.
To show what we should not do.
With these power tools
Yes I was very lucky
Glad to see you're not hurt, I thought the jacobs chuck would be the weak point but the shaft said "I'm outta here" Good video
Thank you so much for the support
You are a lucky man. The chuck are not for router. You must use a collet. Regards.
thank bro 👍🏼
Meu amigo obrigado pelo cuidado com a gente. Deus abençoe você, que você continue humilde assim. Certamente você vai longe.
Thanks bro
Great stuff: it definitely deserves more views.
You've got lucky, thanks for sharing. I was wondering if the Chuck was a bit to big for the grinder. I'm planing to do a trim with a shaker motor, the Chuck will be inside a pipe. Best regards
The main axis of the grinder was too weak for the load.
@@DIYFixMan thanks for your answer :-)

Thank you very much dear friend for your support!
Dont use the drill chuck. Its too heavy with over 20k rpm. Use the collet instead. More safety. Good work bro.
Glad you're Ok. Even million dollar projects (sn8 & sn9) experienced failures. Would using a collet be feasible rather than a drill chuck?
How much mm. Maximal deep is? Thanx for video and the answer.
Does this mean you can't use a grinder and convert in to a palm router? Or its just the same?
Hello friend! Dont woory, You must go ahead
thanks
It happened because of the Chuck, it is very heavy for That speed and it did not have good support.
Learning day . We’re all glad you haven’t got hurt !
Thanks bro
u are lucky ur not injured.as for me i was making a disc sander, wood is 7 1/4 diameter it broke hit my upper right side of my breast also under my chin just one week ago ...i forgot to video i was just starting to spin it ,luckily no serious injury but it leaves a scar
Don't worry man u know how to do that ,try next time all the best
thanks bro 👍🏼
Thanks for sharing a valuable experience..
Thank you
When I saw the chuck I instantly knew it had to be the (major?) culprit.
I also was confident in those 2x's (pine/Douglas Fur?) and the plastic/acrylic base.
Glad your ok, i had too days like that (who hadent?) at my shop. Be safe and keep making beautiful videos.
Thank you very much
I like your videos man (ideas and executing) shit happens, thanks for uploading.
Overall I am very pleased to know, thanks for taking the time to watch my videos
I will use the power pedal to control the speed. Anyway, the pleasure was to build a router even it failed.
Thank you so much for your support
My channel... how to make router batterai 20volt
Thanks...safety first...
Thank you so much friend!
Gracias por publicar, pensé que era una buena idea
Thanks for sharing, could you provide explanation how to prevent the failure, please? 🙏
It's all fun and games until someone loses a testicle, great video.
tanks ❤️
I learned from your video that we should use chollet in spite of drill chuck .
Oooo dostum büyük bir kaza atlatmişsın geçmiş olsun.[ Türkiyeden selamlar]
Thanks for the video .. sharing mistakes take more courage than a successful one ... Btw did you try it again ..I wanted to make a router for myself out of my angel grinder bt now I am not sure
I don't recommend you do that, it just doesn't work! The axis is too weak
@@DIYFixMan what happened? The axis broke? Or some fixing screw loosened?
لا تيأس حاول من جديد . حظ سعيد.
شكرا لك اخي
Much better than original
I think it was the simple law of Chinesium that got you.
no it is just physics.
@@julikb wrong.
Estou muito feliz por sua segurança
Thank you so much bro
ótima ideia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for watching my video
Try having a strong base and better chuck. You will succeed!
thanks 😊
I hope there are no injuries?! As they say we have - no fear!
Everything is fine, thank you so much for the support
@@DIYFixMan Any time
hey... No sad day..
dont worry...
...
things that happen...
Thank you so much for your support
É meu nobre, com vc que tem recurso e técnica acontece isso, imagine aos que estão fasendo de qualquer maneira?
Um abraço.
Thank you very much my friend! I really appreciate it
Holy crap 😱
😬
Glad your OK!!! Could'a been pretty bad!!! :>)>
❤️
Next time you must verify if the rotation direction (left or right) its the correct one before try it ;) . It avoid serious troubles
You could have built that with a $30 Harbor Freight trim router and been safe as houses, but butchered a $100 Makita angle grinder instead.
Почему провалился. что произошло? Предполагаю что патрон отлетел или фреза из патрона?
wow. +1 for the guts to be honest
thanks bro ❤️❤️❤️
It appears that the metal piece in the angle grinder also broke. guess it was more of carbon steel and not tungsten steel.
Any Play(gep) is not allowed due to very hi rpm.
this design is only suitable for milling cutters of the "corn" type. work with penetration into the tree no more than 5mm. Take care of yourself!
thank you sir 🙂
Все дело не в большой скорости двигателя... по-моему. У некоторых фрезеров скорость бывает 30000. У вас слишком длинный шпиндель для патрона. И, как мне показалось, - диаметр мал. Так же нельзя не брать в расчет еще и плохое качество металла шпинделя.
Вы правы, я наконец понял это
А если вместо патрона поставить цангу на 8?
Oh My...
🙄
I think you used wrong knife on the machine. I once had that kind of accident too
the chuck disconnected from the shafting.
Que miedo hermano.
I think if you use small CNC chuck then won't happened
Exactly, you're right my friend
💯💯💯💯💯💯👍
When I see the material used for production, I would be afraid to turn on something like that at all. Just a drill head is nonsense. A collet must be used. No wood to make, but steel or aluminum, no plastics!
You're probably right
sorry but it was obvious, the shaft diameter is too small for the cutting force ... a rigid ball bearing as a support with an adaptation would have been recommended, a good idea however as for very fine and not deep points or strokes
thanks 😊
Appreciate for the video. Learn from mistake and not make another one.
That's is the part of diy person but carefully do work
Yeah, safety glasses was your concern. Try a helmet next time.
If you need a router, go buy a fucking router
9:39 = Made in China :D
Go to harbor frieght and buy a cheap router!
😳
🤗
Who can make tools
One
Who have all tools
Нічого головне усі пальці на місці.
You're right my friend
power tool should not be modified. lesson leant
Do you want way do that ??? I will till you because rpm grinder very high about 30000 so that not work use drill is better because it slow rpm will work
Nope, routers go up to 24,000 rpm
Angle grinders (4") go up to 12,000 rpm.
🧠
Hahahaha😂😂😂
Q pena ver todo el vídeo para q no sirviera
Things don't always go the way you want them, what matters is never stop trying.
