AvE seems to have more fun and entertains he self a lot more when there’s someone there to interact with. I love it. Not that there’s anything wrong with the solo videos, I love those as well, just a nice way to mix things up.
"I love work. I could watch it all day." One of my favorite sayings and also 100% truth. I used to watch "This Old House" for hours on PBS as a kid. It was mesmerizing.
Where were these videos when I was an operating engineer running a mobile concrete batching plant??! We had to pay ~$10k to have an emergency fix after one of our 50KW inverters went up in flames on the job site. But seriously, this material is gold for the DIY home shop guys. Thank you for making these videos.
Most of the world is moving to 3 phase homes, more economical,. Unfortunately most of north America is single phase to screw the population over with high electricity bills. Go figure eh!
@zdringy it's become standard since people started using more electric energy, most stoves run on 3 phase. we have 32 amp CEE outlets in our home shop what for really choochin up the pixies
@@speedslayerr Why not? 3 Phase 16A can handle 11 kW. If you would do that with 1 phase 110 V you would need a 100 A fuse. A lot of electric motors in Europe is 3 phase. Also, thanks god for 3-phase when you want to charge a eletric car.
i got my stickers too! lol at first i was creeped out cause it looked like there was no sender , then i saw the little AvE in the corner XD , wheeeew i though the government was trying to send me bills or sumthin XD......
It might be set at 400hz because that was a standard avionics frequency. In any case colour me envious of the Grizzly Belt Sander that could easily make a proper hollow ground knife! Those blue belts rock, too. I've used the same one on my 3 by 21 belt sander to sharpen the lawn mower blade for years now. They really last.
So a friend of mine is getting into knife making, and he got a rather large belt grinder, its only a single phase, but its getting a simple VFD (not as fancy as yours) for the purposes of controlling the speed according to what he's doing. Should be fun. Already ran a sub panel to the garage. Lots of electrical going on in my life lately.
I love how AvE introduces Dewclaw in a flurry of insults and then just full-canuckistanian stereotypes out a "howya doin buddy?" in just the most innocent way
Measuring big coils with a low voltage DC high impedance transistor radio, it takes a while to charge up the magnetic field in your LR circuit. Equivalent circuit is an inductor series to a resistor, and a voltage source. If you need the coil DC resistance, just clip the meter on it and wait till it finishes revving up the pixie through the loop de loop.
I've always used the cheap ass stamped sheet metal crimp tools for that. Never fucking works and I always blamed the terminals. Then I tried my friends ratcheting one. I promise you that I could hear the angels singing!
Speaking expensive, I own this Greenlee MK50ML-138 crimper: bit.ly/2BTc8eo Made in Germany and totally worth it if you crimp a lot and value your hands not being sore after work since the wife is out of town this week. There are dies for ferrules, the YBR crimp connectors, molex, 8P8C, RJ11/12, etc etc. A perfect BOLTR opportunity!
Just make sure you keep the front guard on, I once stepped forward to let someone past and sanded right through my trousers and took half the buttons off my phone in my pocket. Just glad it was my phone and not my pecker! Variable speed is nice though :)
Were you two in the movie "The Great White North?" Older electronics were heavier built. Yes at 400Hz that belt cover would bing around the shop and make noises like a Chinese name. "I'm given 'er all she's got Captain!" I love it.
Questions. What size motor is on the sander and what drive are you using? Also how many amps does the drive pull on the incoming power from the breaker box?
Dude! Did you know Alex Maxey? He worked on the video tape recorder project at Ampex in 1954 to 56. Had a perfectly descriptive, yet absolutely obscene, name for every part of the machine. Would walk into the lab and say things like, "Today, we peel back the foreskin of knowledge and....". I believe I heard you use that term in another video.
When I converted my optimum mill to CNC I put the electronics into a self welded Aluminium Box ..when a friend an electrician came by and saw my controller box he made me doing all over again but the proper " don't burn your house down" way ...where have all the good times gone when homestyle was good enough 😂😂😂
I am in my final year in college as a industrial electromechanic. I finished both my apprenticeships and passed with good grades. First apprenticeship was in a shop that builds, maintains and repairs machinery from large factories. As well as making welded constructions and machining parts on demand. (~80 employees) We were fixing a mold to make concrete slabs, got some reinforcements cut from plating, I was deburring it with a old French (1978) large 3 phase belt sander. Fucker was as tall as I am, had a 30cm wide belt. I was wearing gloves as the parts were large heavy and full of burrs. Suddenly the damn thing grabbed my left glove and I pulled my hand out so fast, I never did anything that fast in my life before lol. It ate the entire finger but the glove got stuck. If you press the emergency stop it just cuts the power 😂 Damn thing sounds like a jet engine being turned off and takes half a minute to come to a full stop. Its fast and efficient but doens’t take prisoners. One of the old timers walked past (had 40y on the job) saw me white faced in front of that machine with the shredded glove. He just said “No gloves around rotating machinery.” And kept walking past casual as ever. That was my first fuckup ever but it will be my last. No more gloves..
You crack me up man,good vid. Needed a good laugh to get going this morning going. Its great to have a good laugh while you learn something. Thats why your in my top ten.
ferrules make me a lot of money. Every year I get given a pile of thermal imaging reports highlighting hot joints that need repairing. 80% of the time it's a ferrule. It's a quick fix just cut the ferrule off and terminate the wire directly in the terminal. They make for a neat job on control wiring but are nothing but trouble on wiring carrying a load.
I still feel sorry for you having to put up with mildly annoyed pixies (110v V's the 220v kind I get here) and not having access to three phase. I can get a three phase hookup to a residential property here in Australia, makes having a home shop so much easier. :)
About lost my finger to one of those once.... it grabbed my class 4 or whatever protective glove and yanked it right through the guard and spit it back out under the the guard or something somehow. happened to fast to actually see. and yes the guard was probably too far from the wire wheel and I had been working 70+ hours a week 7 days a week for almost a month so I wasnt "all there" lol. fell asleep standing at the bridgeport a few times lol. just standing there drilling and counter sinking holes for days.
Fuck yeah! I’ve been continually stumped by the dearth of belt grinder related content on this channel. They’re skookum ass tools. Mine is also my lathe and my mill.
I used one of those in a hangar machine shop somewhere around the moon and it Fkn bit me lol serious skin remover lol great bit of kit think I was in the south of France 👍
Boss gave me 2 Ingersoll compressors that have 10hp 3~ motors, a 7KV drive is almost $200. I'm going to bring it to him to program it for me. He is a very smart electrical engineer. Last thing I want is to let out the magic blue smoke...
The comment about the accurate breath of management condensing down your neck is so right! Are you done yet? What is it? How much longer? What do you think it is? I don't want to be a PITA but how much longer do you think? Anyone I can call? Do you need help? Did you check x,y,z yet? Could this be it? What about the ,,, did you look at that yet?
Rhodesian reacharound? You mean the Mozambique mombo. The Djibouti shooty? The Tennessee tango? The Colorado conga? I thought that maneuver was illegal in Canada.
While building a machine at work, I installed a VF drive on a 2 hp/1850 rpm 3 phase motor and the controller would allow me to go to 240hz. I didn't need to go that fast. But, you know you just have to try it once. LOL Programmed it for a slow ramp all the way up to 14,500 rip ems. Sounded like a fricken jet engine spooling up. LMAO.
Ok I know I'm seeing this video 3 years late but anyhow I was wondering if you bought the belt grinder new or used and was it worth the investment the reason I ask is I'm wanting one and I'm about to make that investment but I'm also thinking about making my own considering the fact that I have a 4 hp motor out of a top of the line treadmill or something because looking online the motor I have is super high $ if you bought it new so I think I should put it to use
Best way to get the same readings is to set the voltmeter to the off position and your guaranteed to the same readings everytime.
It's crazy how much I enjoy these videos. Just sit back, grab a 12 pk. and it's like I actually have Canadian friends!
"I've seen your big bill" They say you learn something new every day, this is not one of those days.
“How do you like the acrid breath of management condensing down your neck”- best quote EVER!!!!!

wd9dau we call that a Belgian electricision
You would take a common shop tool and turn it into a mechanism of mass laceration. My hat is off to you sir.
Amazed by that white DURA box.
Greetings from Germany, where every house has 3-phase-400V.
Most of the world is moving to 3 phase homes, more economical,. Unfortunately most of north America is single phase to screw the population over with high electricity bills. Go figure eh!
In finland we also have 2 phase every where.

I love building these little drive panels for random odds and ends projects at work. Surprisingly capable for such a decent price.
My boss made one to run a welding rig that rotated the pipe while he welded the flange ends on
Everyone else: "this belt grinder runs at a fast enough speed for me"
AvE and Dewclaw: *_"GAS GAS GAS!!!"_*
As long as the grindy bits don't get ejected on the rollers it can go faster !
When the worlds of industrial hydraulics and electricity unite... run for friggin' cover.
Instead of just schmoo or angry pixies it is angry schmoo.
PyroShim No mate its worse. We get angry pixie shmoo
The dew claw must be a very valuable friend.. wish my friends weren't all carpenters.

AvE even flips exactly to the page in the manual like hes read the whole damn thing how much better can he be
Ferrules are great but dude, get a proper ratchet crimp tool!
They're so expensive here that they tend to grow legs...
A fitter donated his to me when I was building a kit car 30 years ago... about the only tool I can still find, and it gets used regularly.
I've always used the cheap ass stamped sheet metal crimp tools for that. Never fucking works and I always blamed the terminals. Then I tried my friends ratcheting one. I promise you that I could hear the angels singing!
Wait. Is Adrian Daw Dewclaw? Do we have our first clue?
Speaking expensive, I own this Greenlee MK50ML-138 crimper: bit.ly/2BTc8eo

I liked the speed hole reference from slap shot from way back in 1977 since it was the only part I understood . Thanks for posting .
You boys are having way too much fun
Lmao, I had some Kronenscourg a few weeks ago as my grocer was practically giving them away. 5:35 it's got that french armpit mustiness.
best drunk stupidly cold!
Gotta be worth a box of beers.
This dew claw guy is frikin arwsom!
Gotta love how the goofiness knob gets bumped up a knotch or two when buddies are around.
And Duke Law, no less? Not bad.
14:15 It goes full chooch at 12'o'clock because in the manual (pause 10:38) it suggests a 5k analog input and you're using a 10k pot.
doesn`t matter , you droping all voltage across fixed resistance 5k,10k,100k and the wiper does the rest
Grizzly makes a mini lathe too, really looks like the proper version of the harbor freight/minilathe.
Isn't the drive expecting a 5k pot? I'd reckon that's why a half turn on the 10k would be registered as a full turn/full chooch signal to the drive :)
Just make sure you keep the front guard on, I once stepped forward to let someone past and sanded right through my trousers and took half the buttons off my phone in my pocket. Just glad it was my phone and not my pecker!
Variable speed is nice though :)

How long is it going to take to troubleshoot...Wow that is a typical management question thought I was back at work...lol
That switch is so sexy. If loving a sexy switch is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
Very professional setup. I'm very impressed.
Questions. What size motor is on the sander and what drive are you using? Also how many amps does the drive pull on the incoming power from the breaker box?
VFD belt sander.....SWEET! Grind everything!!
You god damn right I slammed that like button before the video even started. You just know it's gonna be good!
Nice to see he broke out a real meter.
Wire ferrules are great for car audio also. Need the right crimper though.

That variable speed would be great for blades. My grizzly 2 x 72" just has off and balls to the wall.
Love the rock fragments on the motor waiting to leap without warning into the belt and fuck things silly

That was my first fuckup ever but it will be my last. No more gloves..
I just kept thinking the entire time, that motor and fly wheel would make an awesome electric go kart!
took me 6 months to figure my VFD out. I don't have a DewClaw, just the internets.
The easiest VFD's to program are the Schneider electric from France. Many in use in the company. 👍
You crack me up man,good vid.
Needed a good laugh to get going this morning going.
Its great to have a good laugh while you learn something. Thats why your in my top ten.
Essential Craftsman
seems to know who you are and seeing as you have a way of taking things apart is mentioned you witch i like to see
"Oooh, that is some skunky shit, yeah, i love it!" :-D Instant classic!
Just looked up what a Dewclaw is; laughing hysterically.
How long is this going to take to troubleshoot? Got to be my favorite question of all time
Leave it run at 400 hz a while and it won't be so cold in the empire.
The more it is good the better i tis, did i get this right?
That LED looks great
Love watching your reviews... the dancing pixies on most of these are WAY over my pay grade.. HOWEVER it's always interesting!! :)
The awkward audio breaks are pure art in this VJO. *does the kiss-the-fingers-then-airs-them-out move*

Everyone needs a friend like electricleaux
Did he set the pot at 6 o'clock using a wheatstone bridge?
It irks me that wranglerstar is recommended to me under these vidjyeos. Not even a similar quality.
NICE! One cannot find that at Harbor Freight! That is sweet!!!

have you seen dewalts 60v cordless holehog knocock off ??? tear down in the future???
Look at the screws on the box looks like a apprentice done that screws pointing every which away
How long is this gonna take to troubleshoot? Haha, cracked me up.
Nice welding clamp garage door lock.
Hey bud, like them forward-reverse switch you have along with the red HAL light... looked through sporkfun but no love. Can ya point me to em?
The comment about the accurate breath of management condensing down your neck is so right!
Are you done yet?
What is it?
How much longer?
What do you think it is?
I don't want to be a PITA but how much longer do you think?
Anyone I can call?
Do you need help?
Did you check x,y,z yet?
Could this be it?
What about the ,,, did you look at that yet?
Would a magnet work like a filter for iron dust?
Man I'm jealous of that thing.
use the 4 wire kelvin method to measure the resistance, so much more accurate.
At 14:05 why are all your screws not positioned vertically or the same as each other. Apprentice laziness?
Now how do we make super fine grit belts for odd sized sanders? Wanna do some wet belt sanding.
is that the same one as in the background to the rock crusher 2013 vintage?
9:58 did you figure that out before or after blowing up a led?
I used to be the only guy in my company that called 'em Ferrules. Everyone looked at me like I was dumb whenever I said it. They called 'em bootlaces
I think the correct name is "Bootlace Ferrule" so you are all right!
Rhodesian reacharound? You mean the Mozambique mombo. The Djibouti shooty? The Tennessee tango? The Colorado conga?
I thought that maneuver was illegal in Canada.
I use to run a 450hp 480volt 3phase at 120 hurts. get it hurts.
Rhodesian Reach Around?
While building a machine at work, I installed a VF drive on a 2 hp/1850 rpm 3 phase motor and the controller would allow me to go to 240hz. I didn't need to go that fast. But, you know you just have to try it once.
LOL Programmed it for a slow ramp all the way up to 14,500 rip ems. Sounded like a fricken jet engine spooling up. LMAO.
Oops. 3700 rpm motor. Still on the first cup of coffee here. :D

If you're going continental, Leffe is the only tasteworthy gift for free help, but it's a hefty 6amps, caution to the unwary.
😂 Fantastic language, cant stop laughing!!
Pppffft. In the old days we’d just have a friend drive down the road and we’d drag the piece on the ground! How’s that for speed control????
That gravity challenged led looks like an eye of a terminator slave work unit from the future. Careful with that one.
We call ferrules Bootlaces in Australia
Dewclaw rocks! Worth at least twice what you're paying him.
You're fine, it's iso-1664 compliant.
The dura pulse hase a factory DI for jog, so how did you get jog on your GS2????
I might have tricked it with the multi-speed. I don't recall now...
