I have the Vevor 180 watt 6L digital ultrasonic cleaner with the vinyl record attachment. I have a very substantial vinyl collection that I have created over the span of several decades and wanted to try one of these to see if the hype about them was true. IT IS! After I finished cleaning my entire collection I was amazed at how much better they sounded, some even as good as when new. I ran the temperature at the 32 setting and the cleaning cycle for 10 minutes. After rinsing in distilled water to get rid of any loose residue I let them air dry in a set of dish racks. I could only do six records at a time (the machine will do eight but I wanted the additional spacing) so it took over two months to do my entire collection but it was well worth the effort and time invested. AND I now have an ultrasonic cleaner for my shop since it also came with the basket seen here.
All my file cabinets are two-wheel drive, so no transfer cases.
I feel like your comment is highly underrated. 😊
😂😂😂. Best comment! No need to improve. Well played. 👏👏👏
You had me so engrossed I forgot to eat my ice cream and it melted.
These are the kind of experiments I would be doing, so thanks for doing them for me.
I heard or read somewhere that the ultrasonic cleaner can do a really terrific job cleaning linens like those rags but the problem is the dirt only gets loosened up but still needs to be rinsed out of the material well afterwards to finish the job. Which sort makes sense looking at what was left in the tank when you were done. Not sure about any of that, just thought to pass that tid bit along.
2 tips: a upside down cardboard box (Amazon box it came in) placed over it when running cuts down the sound by about 30%. And Simple Green makes and extreme metal cleaner the work amazing in these machines.
The sous vide method works really well if you need/want to use a nasty solvent. Careful with the heat.
Hammer handle, still broken! That gave me a chuckle
I've seen some experiments with evaporust in an ultrasonic cleaner, which seemed to increase speed.
As for putting things in a zip-lock or other container, that's to easily swap between cleaning in various solutions without having to discard everything before. E.g. if you just did an evaporust run and then needed to do an acetone run.
or you can do tank in tank ;-)
I'll bet the product builder got an eye full. Interesting test, thanks for the look.
As a side note, spent years in the jewelry industry, ultrasonic cleaners were both fantastic and a death trap. Let’s say you had a diamond ring. If the diamond was loose at all it would vibrate and cut through the gold head holding it in place so you could end up having to remount the stone.
Takeaway, loose parts will wear against each other in an ultrasonic cleaner it may or may not make a difference but if your wrench is a little sloppier than before it may not be due to just the removal of dirt.
Make sure your parts are fully immersed. If there's anything sticking out the waterline will be gross and very hard to clean up.
Great videos Jeremy. I have small ultrasonic cleaner and would like to get on like that. I know you said you didn’t want to mess with Ziploc bags but give this a try. Take a piece of hot rolled steel and put it in a bag with vinegar and then put it in the cleaner. It will take all the scale off.
I use a 2 kW immersion heater on mine... Actually i use two, since i'm impatient. Cost $30 and actually has made it so i pull the cleaner out way more often, since i can now get the solution up tp temp within 10 minutes.
Thank you for another awesome video :)
Interesting, especially how it removes the black from evaporust treatment, I recently bought a huge box of old drills and end cutters, all covered in surface rust, the evaporator treatment took the rust off but left everything black (even though I did wash everything in water after the evaporator), maybe I need one of these gadgets too....
I have the exact same style/model, only the 15 litre one - I got it off eBay brand new for like $140 a cpl years ago - I mainly do motorcycle carbs in mine, Simple green will turn expensive Dellorto carbs from your antique Ducati's DARK DARK GREY (ask me how I know) so I went and bought actual Berrymans Chem Dip Gallon cans of carb soak and it works way better and doesnt ruin the alloy finish-
I've got a small unit from a medical clinic (dumpster dived it). Am interested to see if using a fairly caustic degreaser in it to clean and degrease at same time works better than 2 seperate processes.
Your vids are awesome keep it up!
You have mention this river where you find your stock a few times. I confess, I’m very curious what it looks like and would like a field trip video. Of course not if doing so would result in losing your preferred fishing spot as it were. But I’m curious. I’m just picturing you wading into the water with goggles and a snorkel. But the more I think about it the more I’m convinced that my brain came up with something ridiculous.
I would bet he does MAGNET FISHING off a bridge in his area over a river like so many other do these days, no snorkel
Interesting! Great content!
It’s huge!
Using after evaporust is a great tip.
That's what she said. I don't know what the second part meant, but she said that, too. 😂
"The noise?" "Rather annoying" :D pretty good comedic timing, made ma laugh..thanks
BTW why not fill it with evaporust? Wonder if it would improve derustification?
If that thing can clean anything Jeremy puts in it than Vevor built something good 🤣🤣 Well done . Informative 👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing. Be safe🇨🇦
Hi,how do you like the thermal camera? You said 2-3 weeks in the early June.
That's interesting. I wanted to buy one to fix my broken hammer handles, but now I know it doesn't work.
Great thanks for sharing your experiment. How about heavily rusted metal peices?
Could evaporrust be used in the tank itself?
If you want to remove rust you need to use an acid or chelator (like evapo-rust).
If you combine those with the ultrasonic cleaner though - it's pretty magical how fast and thoroughly it works, inside and outside.
I often use various sizes of glass jars if I want to clean something with a spesific cleaner that I don't want to necessarily fill a 30L tank with. The rest can just be water. Keeps the tank clean too.
I see people use ziplock bags (LDPE plastic), and that works I guess - but they often leak, or warp from a combination of heat and strong chemicals. LDPE isn't that resistant.
Also, plastic is not a good conductor for vibrations, so thicker and more resistant plastic containers aren't ideal.
My biggest complaint is it only goes for 30 minutes at a time. I wish the time at least went to 90.
I did have the fuse holder melt and I couldn't find the correct size glass fuse. Luckily the power block assembly simply unscrewed and I could pull it right out of the housing. I installed an automotive mini fuse holder and sinched right all the spade connections in the back and that took care of that. I suspect the fuse and connections may have loosened up which caused the fuse to blow.
I recently purchased one of these vever, 30 L cleaners. I tried it out a couple nights ago and what I found even with the heater button turned off the water temperature raised to just below 50 Celsius. I’m curious if this is normal vever company told me that the ultrasonic cleaning procedure will produce some heat. This is a little extreme in my opinion. I’d like to know if other individuals have the same issue.
Great channel and content. My new TOT
Have you cracked into the wiring yet? I would expect that they potting and soldering to be the weak points on something like this.
Wonder how long before you switch it on, empty and blow the heater element....ask me how I know :)
I’m pretty sure there’s an admonition against doing that.
@@JeremyMakesThings There is. Despite the manual instruction, I have heard from that one guy who blew his up .
@@RotarySMP truly honest, but somewhat naive individual !😉
@@jdmccorful Yeah.
I really liked your selection of test objects Jeremy. Files, wooden handles and shop rags. Brilliant.
@@RotarySMP Yeah, chuck everything in and see. That's what we really want to know.
Just found your channel and subbed. Love your content: Jeeps and fixing stuff because I can’t afford new shit all the time. Or ever.
Hi, I'm a student making a research in Bahir Dar university, Ethiopia. Please advise me how to get an ultrasonic transducer and horn (vibrator) with variable frequency. I would also like it to have a controlling and display systems with it.
Thank you!
It takes forever to heat up,especially the big ones...if you can,start with hot tapwater...over here in the Netherlands thats around70°c max...saves you a lot of time heating up👍
try putting evaporust in the ultrasonic - you wlll find excellent results
I clean my vacuum cleaner hose by throwing it in the garbage and buying a new one. Works pretty slick.
How many Liters is that machine bro?
Hose brush?
When you own a sonic cleaner, you actively try to find stuff to clean lol
Maybe make a soundproof box for that thing? That's one way to solve the noise
How often do you need to swap out the soap solution stuff
Depends on what you’re cleaning, but lately I’ve just been using the cleaner occasionally and draining it every time.
I've used the snap top food containers from Dollar Tree. They have a thin wall so they are very transparent to sound waves, are cheap and come in a whole bunch of sizes. Besides evaporust, I've used white vinegar for rust and calcium deposits, and charcoal lighter fluid for degreasing (essentially same as kerosene). I prefer the containers to ziplock back as there is zero chance of them getting punctured.
I used mine to clean old PC power supply’s, old screws and printer heads. But it’s so noisy and the sound is nerve wrecking after 30min.
Only down side, if I had one that big I would be cleaning everything I own. The size is my only limit.
So, is the transfer case filed under T, C, or J? ;)
filed under H for "toy"
"Do not use this unit when the tank is not to fill the water"
Lol yeah, I'm sure I can trust this to be high quality equipment.
I used it to clean my taps and dies, they look brand new.
Use powdered citric acid and water to clean up rusted parts.
5:10 the hose: not that I'm an expert but I would have kept the temp lower and use another solvent or detergent. Choosing the solvent is tricky, it depends on the plastic You use.
what's going on with the jeep build. looking forward to seeing more.
I’m trying to have an update done in the next week.
Why do I now feel like I should get one?
my understanding is Ultrasonic is vibration so can you over load the tub making it less useful
Have you been able to remove grease stains from clothing with this machine?
Sadly, no. It does not make my whites whiter or my brights brighter
@@JeremyMakesThings but what about removing grease spots? Does it remove grease out of fabric?
@@geniuspharmacist no
That poor Rockchucker.
It will find a new life as….something.
If it's an ultra Sonic cleaner then why do you have to clean it out, and shrub the stainless container, what it doesn't clean itself?
You clean inside a hose with a duct cleaner attachment.
What's in the Tea Ball?
Earl gray.
But seriously, it’s for holding small parts (nuts, washers, small screws, etc that would fall through the basket. It came with the cleaner.
@@JeremyMakesThings Lol, Earl Grey Kurig cups are the best( or ok at least.)
Thyat makes good sense. Good idea
Thanks for the video!!
Your channel could almost be renamed "The Day After Machinist". Of what it would be like to make-do with scrap metal, worn out machines and lacking in the luxuries of McMaster-Carr or tooling that we can buy and get by UPS in just a matter of days. It is what it might be like to machine tools and parts after civilization falls; By someone who just has a home shop filled with worn out tools and a five kilowatt diesel generator running off of old cooking oil. Trying to fabricate things in a world similar to what is in the game "Fallout 4"; Failing a bunch of times, trying again, revising your technique and coming up with something that meets the bare standards of functionality.
I have watched A-LOT of machinery/ restoration type channels and yours is the only one that crosses in to details about how to machine out your own tool-steel or to use some rusty, roached-out chunk of iron to make something useful.
While I appreciate the rusty bits that you leave behind on non-critical surfaces you do not become slavish to that aesthetic and still leave a very functional device with just a hint of the rough origins of the source metal.
Keep up the good work.
Did ya use an Ultrasonic cleaner to clean you ultrasonic cleaner?
What about putting a chicken in there?
simple green - not when finished
Could have cleaned your hands mate 🤣 Looks like a good un, better than the plastic fantastic one I got 😐
You know you're meant to change the water between batches, right, not just use the same water for cleaning five different groups of things and then wonder why the hose didn't get clean after running filthy water through it
I just bought one of these cleaners a 10L Vevor .
I filled it with water, degassed it then I put a handful of wrenches in the basket and set it for 20 minutes, I watched it as it was cleaning and it crashed in less than 20 minutes, it was like it blew a fuse. I looked at it like what the?So I looked around for a reset button and nothing, I tried turning the power off and unplugged it and plugged it back in and nothing! I had this thing less than 20 minutes out of the box! I get ahold of Vevor and I let them know. They want me to take it apart and take pics of the motherboards and send pics to them and want me to fix it! $305.00 of trash and they won’t even replace it! Or refund this company is terrible DONT BUY FROM THEM!!
Hmm, never saw your mill from that angle, or at least i dont think i have... She is much smaller than i previously thought... Now dont get me wrong, she aint no baby mill, but the machine work confines are indeed not much larger than what Quinn`s current larger sized baby mill offers, from what i can see... I kinda had the notion that she`s a more primitive or simpler version of a regular vertical mill, akin to bridgeport, but with no head swivel or tilt.. Also, no head ram as the Y axis... Which isnt all too bad, as the rigid head mount aint a bad thing, but at the same time, having all 3 traverse vectors essentially bound to one component is a bit bad, as whatever happens to primary axis affects the other two in turn... If your Z, the knee tilts to side as it goes up, the x cuts at an angle which cant be corrected properly without fixing the Z ways, and at the same time, Y also gets shifted, or at least the relation of head to table is the same as it was with X, as all 3 are correlated...
Thats kinda why surface and jig grinders have each axis on separate casting with its own ways and fixturing surfaces, making it harder to scrape in each of the ways in relation to each other and at the same time to conjoining surfaces of the castings which ``carry`` the ways, but all in all, it allows for a single axis to wear out and be fixed in relation to other ways, without introducing any compromise... A simple return to OEM specs...
But dude, that vibrator bath is damn nice! I wish i had one... I would put my neighbours cat in a bag and toss it in there for an hour... 100% would stop the screaming and squealing every night underneath my window, and the chinese neighbour would finally share his secret recipe for the won ton soup after being offered the most tender cat he ever tasted... But in all seriousness, that is one huge tub... I worked with a small tub for diesel injector cleaning and such work, but generally, it was always a hassle trying to fit things in there without cramming them like sardines and thus allowing parts to scratch each other while rubbing against one another... Hell, you can bathe a child in one corner of that tub while washing a car differential in the other... Now that is what i call effective use of time!(sorry, i just cant stop, i guess im not wasted enough yet... I`ll get to it right away... The machines are well lubed up, so why am I not as well?)
Speaking of vac hose, just plug one end, fill it with dish soap and water, let it sit for an hour until water cools, toss the water out, rinse with hot water, plug the end, repeat and play with chemicals and soaps, depending on what you do with your shop vac different compounds will work better, for woodworking, just hot water and dish soap will likely do all you need... For us sadists who suck up grinding grit, white hot sparks, machine coolant, machine grease and oil and chips of any kind, well that is another matter... I generally rely on pink/black domestos, which is based on hydrochloric acid, but not before a good soak in dish soap for degreasing... Those two and rinsing with scalding hot water seems to do the trick... You can also get a steel rod, say 1/2 inch by 6ft, cobble together a way to retain a toilet scrubber on one end(break the scrubber plastic handle, drill the brush undersize and superglue the rod into the brush head), the scrubbers come in different sizes, pick one best fitting your hose, after you have your hose loose, the extended no longer a toilet scrubber in hand and dish soap in the other, well i guess you can handle it yourself... That will get a hose sparkly clean from inside, but you do have to make an extended crud-o-matic, which with 1/2 inch rod fits into a drill chuck, making it a 6ft long crud-o-matic-9000... Just put it on slow speed, a 6ft long steel rod spinning at speed can whip sideways and bend in a second, obliterating you like no man`s business... A vac hose doesnt need 2K rpm on the brush, 10 rpm to 100 is more than sufficient to brush out any grit, crud or lube caked in there with help of hot water and dish soap...
Damn, i just bought a Vevor pressure pit, never having heard of the brand, and it turns out they make actual product for humans to use? Weird.
The only time I'd heard of them is a dumb RUclips video where some douche reads off a script talking about how Vevor is a professional company that makes "insightful" products, so i assumed i got a no name bottom of the barrel pressure pot.
But now i find out the company actually makes real products that real humans use, and not just a junk RUclips video where the dude sets up the pressure pot incorrectly, puts a mask on, goes up to an unpainted wall, and then the video ends. I thought: "oh, crap, these guys don't even trust their own product, or they don't give samples out to humans that have brains"
I'm glad to see Vevor is apparently not a division of Fisher Price. Now maybe ny pressure pot won't instantly explode, flinging shrapnel and uncured resin into my face or cat. Whew! Dodged that bullet.
Evaporust
Vevors customer service is garbage. If you have a problem, do a follow up and let us know how it goes. They wont send you any parts, they start by haggling over a partial refund, then they eventually offer a full refund if its obvious they screwed up. Thats good, at least, but if you bought something like hand rails or something you permanently install (like i did), you pretty much have to tear it out.
To bad the idiot that threw the rcbs in the river 😢
