- Short video about my surface grinding wheels balancing fixture that i made few weeks ago. Turned out very well for me and i really surprized with its sensitive.
As always, THANKS FOR WATCHING!
Thanks for your support: / calem21
Nice simple design on the balancing fixture. I would of never thought of using wood jointer blades. Looking forward to the vise build. It's nice to hear your voice.
Always Good to see your channel name pop up on my subscriptions. A vice from scratch? Cannot wait! 👍
Wow, nicely done! Thanks for the insights on how to build a balance tester - as well as the results of both a balanced and imbalanced wheel. Looking forward to your vise build.
Also keen to see the vice build
You could have filled holes in the casting with body filler, but it will be way cooler to see a vice build!
You did a good job of the last vice you built. I hope the milling vice build goes to plan! Your videos have inspired me to build things the way I want them, not for anyone else, just like the way you build.
CaLem I always look forward to your videos. Your stone balancer is a fine example of your mechanical ingenuity and ability. This shows it’s really not necessary to buy high priced devices to get the job done. Thanks.
That video was anything but boring!!! Really great editing and special effects. As alway a pleasure being a guest in your workshop!!!
Did you say “hopefully?” Of course it’ll come out awesome because that’s your standard, it’s what you do! You can’t fool us... Ok, maybe once in a while.😉
looking forward to seeing the vise being built. ✌🏼
Clever !! i'll make one very soon !! Thank you for sharing your time and talent !!
Hey Ca Lem not a boring video. The process and achievement of better results are a great story. I look forward to your next project of making a block of iron out of a mill vice. Cheers.
LOL! Anyone can make a block of iron out of a mill but it takes a great amount of talent to make a mill out of a block of iron. ;)
Nicely done, enjoyed!
All the best, Robin
You keep advancing faster in your technique than anyone else on YT. Awesome job again!
That’s some big piece of steel you ordered. That would cost almost as much as a good milling vise here in the USA.
Great job on the balancer.
Dear friend,
A very good demonstration of how important static & running balance is in revolving devices. I cannot wait to see that new cast iron vice project. Very well done yet again. Kind regards.
A. Great and informative video would help many in understanding the importance of a balanced surface grinder wheel 👍
Geez, This is a great idea, it should be a standard tool in any shop. Great Job!
As always , nicely done. The difference that a properly balanced wheel made was amazing. And it was good to hear your voice again.
One state your vids never achieve is boring. Good luck with the vise project, and in these worrying times stay safe and well.
Very nice work on the video and the balancer. I built a motorcycle wheel balancer in a slightly different way. It is amazing how good such simple tools are. Not everyone can own a high price electronic balancer and honestly, most don't need it. Thank you for sharing!
That was a pretty slick setup that definitely improved the surface finish from what I could see, can't wait for the vice video, keep up the great work!
Thanks very much for sharing! One knows you should balance, your video makes us more aware how important it is in a pleasant to watch manner, thanks for that and looking forward to your next project!
Nice design on the balance stand. Thank you for sharing.
Randy Richard In The Shop thanks Mr Randy
@ Email me your shipping address.
Outstanding work sir
Never stop this way of working.
Very cool, elegant, simple design. If I ever get a surface grinder then I'm stealing your idea, lol!
Everett's Workshop thank you. You will get a SG soon, for sure ;)
OH YEAH......Ca' Lem's gotta big ol chunk of cast iron and knows how to cut it down to size!!!! Most cast volume made pieces have all kinds of porosity in it. Just bondo over then to make the surface look smooth.....unless its within the mating/sliding parts that need to be above average smoothness.
What a difference a years worth of work makes.
Good job !! Heavily deburr parts before you finish grind the side to be ground. That way you have minimal (if any at all) to be deburred. and no finish surface to get scared.
Wonderfully fantastic and beyond COoL to dive into the invisible world... Thank you!
Вьетнамский Дядько Максим! Удачи, брат!
Без базару.
Necessity is the mother of all invention.
I am now milling also a vise from solid piece of steel. We just welded the not moving jaw to it before we were cut off because of coronavirus restrictions.
A useful jig, and a great result on the grinder finish. I can't wait to see that vise build. :)
Your creativity and resourcefulness amaze me! Makes me ashamed of my lazy ways! Keep up the great work!
I think you're close. I have some advice. Get a note book of paper. Place paper onto the mag chuck then your part on the paper. Easier to remove, might not need pliers. Every time you use the grinder, run the table at a slow speed and max travel for the time it takes the machine to do an oil cycle. For example, if your machine will squirt oil once every 5 min, run the table for 5 min. Do both axis. If the machine sits for more than 4 hours, do it again. The oil is a vibration dampener too. Great job on the balancer! Every time you turn on the spindle, dress the wheel. The start up shock will shift the wheel on the arbor. It's preferred to leave the spindle running until completly done with the job.
Ostatni szlif to chyba już submikronowa dokładność obróbki! Gratuluję rewelacyjnych rezultatów - robią wrażenie!!!
Very nice indeed, can’t wait for that vise project!!
Brilliant inventive idea.
Thanks for sharing.
Awesome vid, not boring at all. Thank you. TOT would approve.
Simple and functional, great video. Oh when dressing the grinding wheel ( resurfacing the wheel) you should dress it with coolant if you are grinding a part with coolant and dress it dry if you are grinding a part dry.
Oooh that vice build looks very promising!
It's my birthday today, so I'm taking this video as your present to me. Thank you !!
Beautiful editing and great to watch
Great work! Love to see shop made tools like this. Keep it up, man, you are doing great.
I'm shocked it made that much difference!
Excellent!👌👌
How you doin buddy? didn't see any videos for so long.
I realize it is quite randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to stream newly released tv shows online ?
@Carter Izaiah I use flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Lawson William yup, have been watching on FlixZone for since march myself :)
@Lawson William Thanks, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I really appreciate it !
Very cool project! Thanks for sharing!
Great fixture! I've also considered getting a nice chunk of cast iron to make a proper milling vise. The ideal design would be modeled after the Orange vises, with jaws you can configure many ways, an "anglock" type feature to pull the jaws down, and a screw that pulls rather than pushes.
Keep up the awesome work Hoss!!!
Brilliant content, beautifully presented. Top drawer entertainment for me - many thanks for sharing!
The closer to centerline, the less the unbalance is effected. IT is easier to adjust the hub instead.
continually impressed Ca Lem !
i see you're the one who uses a vacuum cleaner to remove metal chips, so let me give you a little piece of advice: use vacuum hoses of a smaller diameter, at least at the suction end. of course, bigger hoses have less aerodynamic resistance, but air velocity in big hoses is smaller, so they suck not so good (-; smaller diameter - bigger air velocity, and vice versa bigger diameter - smaller air velocity. this can be used to make a simple filter for the chips (and heavy dust like that from a grinder) - thin hose at the input connected to a big long vertical pipe for filtering (160 mm PP pipe is excellent for this purpose), which is connected to a vacuum cleaner. fast air will suck metal particles into the hose, in slow air in vertical pipe these particles will fall down, and vacuum cleaner will get almost clean air.
Fantastic video Ca Lem. Looking forward to see you carve a machine vise out of a solid block of cast iron!!! Greetings from Southport UK.
Looking forward to the vise build!
Good work. We posted your video on our homemade tools forum yesterday :)
Thanks for this. I'll be building one to use with my new(old) Jones and Shipman 540P. This video will be a big help!
Really good workmanship as always!
How about showing how to balance the wheel?
Looking forward to seeing how you make the vise. Not sure why the closed captioning doesn't show on this video. Keep up the great work!
Loving this channel, cant wait for the next video!
To balance that wheel in 10 minutes or so:
1. Remove weights, find the balance point.
2. Add one weight on the top part (lightest portion), mark it with a pen and dont touch it at all anymore.
3. Add the two other weights 120 degrees apart from the marked one.
4. Move the two weights symmetrically, so closer/farther away from the fixed one when making adjustments.
5. Small changes towards end might be just little bumping of those two weights.
The other option on light/small wheels is to just drill divots near the hub into the wheel to lighten it a little bit, as wheels of that size are usually not very badly off of balance.
I use epoxy putty either steel reinforced or ep.200 from homedpot. Just add a little chunk on the sides everytime i spin it till it dont spin. I add it away from the axis of the wheel toward the edges but not so close just depends on how much it rocks back and forth. The epoxy becomes part of the wheel if you patiently knead it around the wheel while its curing, it then wares down along with the wheel. Just dont grind anything on the sides of the wheels and hit the bump of epoxy.
Looking forward to the vice build.
Very interesting results!
We watchmaker use a similar tool (on a smaller scale) to ballance one certain wheel in mechanical watches. it has sythetic rubis for the jaws. Takes some practice to do it quickly and accurately. Look up poising table.
Looking forward to the milling vise video!
You should be proud of yourself
Well done
I really like your videos
Now there is a use of planer blades that is quite cool. I am going to make myself such setup. Why didn't you choose two sets of two bearings and wheels - this is the usual setup - I once tried to buy used commercial one but it went for few hundred USD (!)
Cool looking forward to it
Interesting. Nice job. 👍🏼
Awesome, I have not seen anyone make a machinist's vice from cast iron.
Awesome!!!
Dùng software j để dựng video vậy? Chỉ a với. Tháng 5 này lại lỡ hẹn nữa rùi. Dịch này chắc a vềc ko đc. Hẹn em dịp tới nhé.
Great work! Simple but it looks like it works very good. Need to make one myself in the future. Did you re-dress the wheel after balancing? And did you test the balance again after dressing? I'm curious if it changes a bit. Btw, very nice video editing and animation. What did you use for the that?
Barts Metalwork yes. It would be change a bit. I did check the balance again.
@ thanks 👌👍
I love your video style! And this was a Great learning for me. "A year later..." Jajaja
Liked the video. Waiting for the new vise build
Looking forward to the vice build 😁
Great work on the balancer! Really enjoy your videos...you are a master of your craft. Can't wait to see the vise :-)
This is fantastic! Thanks.
Perfeccionismo. Fantástico trabajo. Un saludo desde España
How did you figure out how much weight needed to come off that spindle you made and the grinding wheel?
Greatings from Poland :)
Muy buen Trabajo...!! Saludos from Chile.. ji ji ji
How did you make that radial counter weight adjustment for the grinding wheel?
very good video..thanks for your time
So what did you do to balance the grinding wheel? Where did you remove or add weight?
Excellent balancing Cal !!
You sure have a lot of patience and skill Mr.
I like your progress and how you show it with the video.
Keep it up. You earned another subscriber :-) Have a nice day.
Excellent work👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing.
Убрал биение инструмента балансировкой шлифовального камея? Да это гениально!
Красавчик...
Good job bro!!
Nice job
I dont understand. How do you balance de wheel?? I only see a few marks with the marker
Love the design!
Thank Mr Yuchol
Nice build. I'm looking to build a belt grinder like ur first one. Did u work off a set of plans when u built the first belt grinder? Also, on that build, did u machine those knurled handled bolts and aluminum wheels that u used?
Клево. В особенности с 3-х опорной установкой. Намедне думал о такой вещи, Спасибо.
Quality engineering skills!! good work!
nice project hope you will succeed !
Soo how do you lighten the heavy spots of the grinding wheel?
Fantastica riffinitura...Top!!!
Très joli travail bravo,pas facile à bientôt salut Jeannot 🛠😉
