Making your bushings was genius, such an improvement to the working of the Baldor. They (Baldor) should take note and make improvements to their product with your ideas! A proper engineer and good to see. 🇬🇧
Adam. My Uncle Derwood was a machinist on the USS Lexington CV2. I remember as a young man him telling me that when anything broke on the boat machinists were the ones called because In the Pacific you couldn't just pull into a parts island and get a new one. The Machinist either fixed the broken piece or made a new one. As I watch you and other machinists on this channel I am mesmerized by your ability to at times , pull a rabbit out of your hat, to fix something. Kuddos to all machinists. You are the closest to a magician I have seen. Thank you Uncle.
Thank you Mr. Booth for teaching us the trade. Before following your channel, I literally knew nothing about machining. Now I can, confidently, work on various machines. Thank you very much for sharing your skills. I shall share such skills with future generations. Thank you ever so much.
This video reminded me of the latest from Steve Summers who is poring a new concert floor for his shop. He spent 30 minutes trying to get a 1/16th inch deviation out of his forms. Ya gotta love the machinist's desire for perfection. Love your videos, these two were the best 70 min. of my day! Abbie's editing is spot on! I like the new editing where you talk about what you did, and then watch how you did it. Perfection!
It was 1/32 of an inch at one point... on that section that was in the wrong place and he had to move it anyway. I swear if it wasn't for the squirrel cutaways, I'd be yelling at the screen. I kept chuckling to myself "Never send a machinist to do a contractor's job"
I checked the price on the Baldor grinder and it's not cheap, you would think at that price point the flanges would be square to the bore and run better. I sincerely hope the rest of the grinder is better quality.
Ashamed? Those are accessories. Obviously they're not going to put the time and effort into them that a single person can put into a single set. They've got thousands upon thousands to do. I doubt it's any better or worse than anyone else's.
I have to agree. If you pay a premium price, it's not too much to expect premium quality. We're not talking about harbor freight tools, this is baldor. Adam is a lot more tolerant than I would be...
JC ..You obviously don’t know anything about Baldor. They are suppose to be a premium product. And yes, their competition is doing it better, I’ve owned several Palmgrens (Baldors are suppose to be about the same) and have never seen this. They have to build the tooling to manufacture them anyways...why not manufacture them to a higher tolerance? If they can build that high quality of unit, they can surely build the “accessories” to suit the quality. And they aren’t “accessories”. They are required to use the unit. Do you call the wheels on your car accessories?
I would agree, also surprised to see paint on the shaft too. I guess not detrimental to performance, but just makes you wonder about the preparation. Still looks a very nice piece of kit. Tempted myself to find a decent UK sold kit of similar quality to upgrade from 6" polishing wheels
NICK CRAIG well who do you think created the demand for those cheap tools? Not the consumer. The bizarre capitalist system we live in now is no good for anyone except the companies that makes their money on producing crappy stuff, skewing the whole market, creating a demand for shitty stuff and forcing the great manufacturers out of business and decreases consumer knowledge about what is right and should be expected of a product. My two cents.
I would say the most valuable asset to your shop is your connections. You know so many people and I love that you outsource locally. If you like nails on a chalkboard sound skip to 9:55
A couple of years ago I had to fix my hydraulic leveler pump, same as yours looking at the video. I was lucky to find a used armature as mine was ruined by oil from a seal leak. It did require machining on the lathe and mill to modify the end of the armature to match the old one but wasn't too hard. Lucky the replacement was larger in dia so I could modify to fit. RV's do require nearly constant maintenance when they get a little older.
This is exactly why we follow you ! The commonsense logic of something most of us don't think about . Like , are the flanges actually machined true ? How many times have we blamed the stone or the wire wheel ? Just a few minutes time and they're now running true . Thanks brother , stay healthy .
You may want to look into a Brother label making machine. I use mine to mark all my outlets and machines for voltage. You can adjust the size and the font and even frame the label with different art. Not a very expensive machine and it uses a wide variety of tapes and colors.
I second the Brother recommendation. The tapes are durable and easy to removed if needed if you go with the p touch tz tapes as they are all clear laminated over the “ink”.
We have that same baldor buffer at work and ended up lasering some smaller bushings so we could utilize more of the wheel vs having to replace then when they were only half worn
Everything you have done in this video is absolutely the way to do it.. I am glad I found you, I will certainly be looking for other videos you put out. Thank you for doing these video.
Wow!, that’s smooth and you can’t tell how fast it’s running. You can balance a wire wheel a little but yours seems ok. Looking for forward to the pillar build or buying it. Thanks for sharing
Great job on bushings and backing plates. Your right all those wire wheels and grinding wheels bushing are cheap and sloppy. Great stuff Adam. Thank you for sharing.
Your 8” wire wheel, you can also get it with nylon or some kind of plastic bristles that work really well for deburring and it doesn’t tear your hand up if you hit it by mistake. The wire always sticks your hand when you touch it...lol. We use them at work.👍👌
Thanks Adam I have another smaller type of bench grinder that I need to do this to. Im so sick of it not running true. Man I love that Baldor always wanted one of those big Baldor buffers with long arbor shafts for buffing big stuff and long knives. Maybe someday I want to get a good belt grinder too. I might end up making one.
This is a Baldor grinder. A top of the line "Made in USA" industrial grinder. No Chinesisum here. The US needs to stop resting on our laurels and up our game.
From the very first second I saw that Baldor running, I knew those flanges were going to end up on the lathe, your OCD was never going to allow those to go past!
I am not a machinist, just a handyman. I eliminate the run out in my miter box and wet stone saw blades (both 10") by rotating one of the provided washers at a time until there is no run out. What a wonderful difference. Ron W4BIN
Yes, fine, as always, amazing information. And I always give a like. But I gave a like this time for when Abbie came out. Because the two of you are adorable together!
The motor assembly looks rock solid on that buffer, but I cant believe how bad the runout was on those flanges before you fixed them! good job; but one you shouldn't have had to do.
Great video! I have a Baldor 6" buffer in my shop and it has some vibration issues. I am not a machinist but a welder fabricator. This gave me some ideas to solve my issues. Thanks!
I wouldn't say that 12v brush motor is bad, just reading to ground. It's just loaded up with carbon dust . Clean the Armature with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol flush it several times letting it dry each time. Then reface the commutator and etch the mica between each slot. you won't be out much more than a half hr of your time. I've Brought back to life many a Starters that way . Give it a try !
Hello Adam, I modified my wire wheel and have 3 of those wheels stacked on one mandrel and now it has awesome performance compared to the original wobbling all over the shop.
hey Adam just enjoying your videos and i noticed how small your shop is getting with all the added tools and machines and remembered you talked about building a larger shop with a overhead crane and that got me to wondering if that's something you still think about doing one of these days ( just wondering ) i know shops don't grow on trees anyway thanks for the great videos God bless you and Mrs booth. HAVE A GOOD ONE !
That was an awful lot of wobble in that aluminum flange @ 10:30 no? Also, pretty slick how they masked off the ZTFab logos so they weren't sprayed over. Wonder how they did that?
Talking about your videos in general. Pretty interesting stuff. I never knew what all was involved. I just dropped the stuff off and picked it up when ready.
WOW I have a buffer setup with pedestal and the vibration is so bad, I can't keep it sitting still when I turn it on. It moves so much that I have to step on the pedestal base to try and hold it stationary and that really doesn't work. So I may have to start from the motor shaft itself and start seeing where the real problem is. Thanks for the video about getting yours running smooth. Thumbs Up!
Adam was fired up about his new toy not behaving like the rest of the tools in the shop... it was great. That company should use his bushing drawing.... That was dope. Good stuff.
Bought a small diamond wheel for a scissor sharpener and it was so out of round that the motor walked all over the place ! My question is , and this wheel was expensive , do they not test each wheel for roundness ? Great fix you did as usual Adam ! Thank you .
I know you shouldn't have to fix your new tool, but we all do it. I mean, even in woodworking, my new plane irons and chisels (no matter the price) don't come flat or sharp. So it is nice to see a way to improve a buffer / small grinder.
I think machining the angles on the flanges would add to the balance; same for the inside of the flanges. It may be overkill, but the more precise balance supports longevity of the motor bearings.
Its like EVERYTHING nowadays, “its good enough, nobody cares” No pride or craftsmanship. Glad this garbage was pointed out. Just waiting for the baldor vid to come out lol!!!
Hi Adam, This was yet another good video :-) I'm not sure how you dress your Scotch-Brite wheels and I'm sure you already have a good way to do that but I thought I'd share the way I dress mine. I use an old brazed carbide lathe turning tool and so far it has worked well for me, I usually use a piece of wood setting on the bench just under the wheel to rest my hand on while firmly holding the brazed turning tool, then I slowly move the lathe tool across the Scoth-Brite wheel till it runs true (with a face shield on of course). In some cases I shape the face of the wheel to match the shape of a part that I'm polishing, yeah it shortens the life of the wheel but it's usually worth it. It's a shame that Baldor doesn't have a better source for those aluminum backing washers, not a big deal for people like us with a lathe but i'm sure they sell buffers to people who do not own a lathe. I feel certain that Baldor does not make their own, if they did they would run true right out of the box. Poor design on the arbor spacers too but the buffer itself is top notch!! :-) Stay safe, Adam!! Joe
While marking the receptacles is nice if the correct NEMA L15 (250 VAC 3 pole 4 wire 3 phase) and NEMA L16 (480 VAC 3 pole 4 wire 3 phase) plugs and receptacles are used then there is nothing to worry about. Also any 480 volt systems should use proper SO cord rated at 600 volts, cheaper SJ cord is only rated to 300 volts.
Good stuff Adam. That looks like a sweet buffer. Would love to have that in the shop at work, but they would make us guard it up so much it would be unusable. Can't wait for the tour of the Bronco rebuild shop. I'll bet they do some sweet rebuilds there. Great video, stay safe.
For the electric outlets, you could also try to color-code them to add an additional level of identification for each voltage. Color-coding is a great way to verify things at a glance. Great video Adam!
@@kevinhewitt1428 Yes, NEMA L14 for single phase 125 or 250 volt, L15 for 3 phase 250 volt and L16 for 3 phase 480 volt. Add a -20 for 20 amp, -30 for 30 amp followed by a P for male cord plug, a C for a female cord connector or an R for a female wall receptacle.
Like so many products these days- they are really "movie props" that are just standing in for what they are supposed to be. You have to repair them before first use- standards of quality!

Just not in proper electrical connections
@@eqrunner I'd say hes doing pretty well to find people who know what they're doing when he doesn't
Gettin' all that centered will contribute fantastically to the lifespan of the motors internal bearings. Great great work Adam!!
Those Baldor improvements will absolutely extend the life of the machine and produce better results. Nice work
It's sad that it takes this much EXTRA work by a master machinist to make it a quality tool.

Everything was awesome, including the sky at the powder coat shop.
Thank you Adam I always enjoy watching your videos I am from South Africa
Nice job on those arbor bushings & that powder coating is killer!
I am a bit taken aback at Baldor, excellent quality motor and Chines factory thirds for the bushings and backing plates. We need to get this fixed.

Dayum! I thought those arbor racks looked nice in bare metal, but that powder coating is awesome.
The powder coating on the racks turned out awesome Adam! I'm proud to have my products in your shop!!
ZTFab racks like that would also be perfect for hanging our CNC lathe spindle liners.
To be able to have the tools to be able to make things, to make your life easier or better: Priceless.
The older your eyes get the more you appreciate LIGHT.

Two videos in one day? Awesome
Good to see the big show still enjoying his hobbies after all these years
Baldor might have mighty fine electric motors but their accessories leave a lot to be desired.
Those flanges sure are a quality "made in USA" product. At times the US needs to up our manufacturing game.
Robert Harker They are more than likely made in China. USA stuff is usually top notch.
This is a Baldor grinder. A top of the line "Made in USA" industrial grinder. No Chinesisum here. The US needs to stop resting on our laurels and up our game.
I don’t know if Baldor makes the flanges or if they have those parts imported. I agree they should be made to better standards.

Damn, Baldor should pay you for that fix!
I loved the minute taken at 10:30/35:11 to marvel at how out of true that flange was! I could just hear the 'WTF' in your head at that moment 😂
When you turned the buffer on at 19:58, it was nothing short of magic.
Hello Adam, I modified my wire wheel and have 3 of those wheels stacked on one mandrel and now it has awesome performance compared to the original wobbling all over the shop.
10:29 I cant believe how bad that part is. I could probably drill a straighter center hole freehand.
hey Adam just enjoying your videos and i noticed how small your shop is getting with all the added tools and machines and remembered you talked about building a larger shop with a overhead crane and that got me to wondering if that's something you still think about doing one of these days ( just wondering ) i know shops don't grow on trees anyway thanks for the great videos God bless you and Mrs booth. HAVE A GOOD ONE !
It used to be when you bought (invested in) a tool like a Baldor grinder, you would use that to fix other, lesser tools, looks like them days is over.
That was an awful lot of wobble in that aluminum flange @ 10:30 no? Also, pretty slick how they masked off the ZTFab logos so they weren't sprayed over. Wonder how they did that?
That was the point, the flanges were horribly manufactured items.
they are holes not labels
The only way those flanges could be any more crooked would be if a politician made them.
Man the runout on those Baldor flanges is truly embarrassing.
Awesome powder coating! They look amazing!
Sad to see the quality issues considering the cost of a Baldor
Man you scared the crap out of me, thought for a second you started the lathe with a parallel in between the 3 jaws..... ty for the video!
Talking about your videos in general. Pretty interesting stuff. I never knew what all was involved. I just dropped the stuff off and picked it up when ready.
Maybe Baldor needs to sub out the fit and finish of their flanges and bushings? A bread and butter opportunity for you?
I was thinking that's probably already Baldor's problem, they sub out those parts from a bad supplier!
I got a new Machine, now lets fix it True. Love You Abom79
Good job Adam, really made that grinder smooth running. Thanks for sharing with us so we have an idea to repair our own. Fred.
WOW I have a buffer setup with pedestal and the vibration is so bad, I can't keep it sitting still when I turn it on.

Mine does the same
Y’all check everything out. Most likely the wheels not running true and straight
Adam was fired up about his new toy not behaving like the rest of the tools in the shop... it was great. That company should use his bushing drawing.... That was dope. Good stuff.
your shops so cool ! Thanks Abom
I’d love to see the shop tour of Velocity Adam.
Nice job. Looks to me like Baldor has lost all quality control.
is that a crew cab 4x4 ford in the background @30:00?
I enjoy all of your videos 👍
Bought a small diamond wheel for a scissor sharpener and it was so out of round that the motor walked all over the place ! My question is , and this wheel was expensive , do they not test each wheel for roundness ? Great fix you did as usual Adam ! Thank you .
Very very nice powder coating!
so, if you want a Baldore, just buy a lathe first...
Gotta love it when you buy a new toy and have to "fix" it before you get to use it.
Baldor should be ashamed to put out a product that poorly made.
I know you shouldn't have to fix your new tool, but we all do it. I mean, even in woodworking, my new plane irons and chisels (no matter the price) don't come flat or sharp. So it is nice to see a way to improve a buffer / small grinder.
Loved seeing the wheel balancing and improvements to purchased wheel flanges.
I think machining the angles on the flanges would add to the balance; same for the inside of the flanges. It may be overkill, but the more precise balance supports longevity of the motor bearings.
Those Scouts were badass!
i can hear the baldor exec's and QC cringing in my mind lol.
They should be cringing. Pathetic quality.
It's really embarrassing.
Its like EVERYTHING nowadays, “its good enough, nobody cares” No pride or craftsmanship. Glad this garbage was pointed out. Just waiting for the baldor vid to come out lol!!!

@@Abom79 I know Adam, I just keep seeing all the fun ways it will increase your content. P.S. are you planning to announce it?
Hi Adam,
This was yet another good video :-)
I'm not sure how you dress your Scotch-Brite wheels and I'm sure you already have a good way to do that but I thought I'd share the way I dress mine.
I use an old brazed carbide lathe turning tool and so far it has worked well for me, I usually use a piece of wood setting on the bench just under the wheel to rest my hand on while firmly holding the brazed turning tool, then I slowly move the lathe tool across the Scoth-Brite wheel till it runs true (with a face shield on of course).
In some cases I shape the face of the wheel to match the shape of a part that I'm polishing, yeah it shortens the life of the wheel but it's usually worth it.
It's a shame that Baldor doesn't have a better source for those aluminum backing washers, not a big deal for people like us with a lathe but i'm sure they sell buffers to people who do not own a lathe.
I feel certain that Baldor does not make their own, if they did they would run true right out of the box.
Poor design on the arbor spacers too but the buffer itself is top notch!! :-)
Stay safe, Adam!!
Joe
was waiting for the sirens. was not disappointed.
While marking the receptacles is nice if the correct NEMA L15 (250 VAC 3 pole 4 wire 3 phase) and NEMA L16 (480 VAC 3 pole 4 wire 3 phase) plugs and receptacles are used then there is nothing to worry about. Also any 480 volt systems should use proper SO cord rated at 600 volts, cheaper SJ cord is only rated to 300 volts.
Was going to comment the same thing, to many people go to home depot and lowes and just grab a receptacle and plug that match and call it good!
I don't think Adam has 3 phase 250. Isn't he using 125/250 single phase?
@@DaveDablave Adam has 240 volt 3 phase from his local power company
@@DaveDablave he obviously has 480
no one you know here
Thats what the transformer is for.
Good stuff Adam. That looks like a sweet buffer. Would love to have that in the shop at work, but they would make us guard it up so much it would be unusable. Can't wait for the tour of the Bronco rebuild shop. I'll bet they do some sweet rebuilds there. Great video, stay safe.
Those are some nice looking Broncos there!
Maybe you should send Baldor this video, those shouldn't be that bad. Looking forward to seeing how you fix that motor for the hyd pump. Cheers :)
Nice mod and choice of materials for the bushings. It will extend the life of the bearings for sure.
The powder coating finish looks like ancient iron: seriously rad!
Hola Adam por tenes tantos tipos de voltajes diferentes? 120,240 y 480 Voltios? Saludos de Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
For the electric outlets, you could also try to color-code them to add an additional level of identification for each voltage. Color-coding is a great way to verify things at a glance. Great video Adam!
Spraying the cover plate and plug body the same color by voltage world be great
Proper receptacles and cord ends do it all. They don't fit where they shouldn't.
@@kevinhewitt1428 Yes, NEMA L14 for single phase 125 or 250 volt, L15 for 3 phase 250 volt and L16 for 3 phase 480 volt. Add a -20 for 20 amp, -30 for 30 amp followed by a P for male cord plug, a C for a female cord connector or an R for a female wall receptacle.
The center of NEMA receptacles are already color coded.
What a difference. Wish you a great week
I had to do all that nonsense with my Delta 8" grinder.
I'd be pissed as hell if I had to do the same with a Baldor.
Adam, i was listening to this with my headphones on and I could HEAR the vibration.
Like so many products these days- they are really "movie props" that are just standing in for what they are supposed to be.
You have to repair them before first use- standards of quality!
On that pool ladder bolt removal, man, I KNOW you've got a heart of gold but I hope you charged him what it was worth, bro'. Great video again.
Since you reorganised your shop. it looks so clean and efficient.
