MrTeknotronic, my dude. Maybe take a moment to think about how bearings work, and what would have happened if he'd left it in, and get back to us on this.
Not sure how durable that would be, because the epoxy would be dealing with the torque of pushing a not-insignificant length of wood through a running saw. My instinct says that's not ideal, but it could work.
Yeah, certain You Tube gems like Mr. Wandel are fun to go back to their early days and see how they started out, then look at some intermediate videos. It sure gives you an appreciation for how they do their videos now.
Fantastic idea as usual. I really appreciate you going over your thought process as you build it. It is immensely beneficial to not only to know how to build something but why you build it. Thanks again
Between Matthias and "gear show", I always learn something on all their videos. They each have a knack for coming up with unique solutions and methods for the project at hand.
Hi Mathias I Love how you Explain what you need, How you build it to a working conclusion, and allow people to learn the thought processes on how to make not only this project But How to think on future projects Very Much Like Edvard De Bono - Lateral thinking a way to think outside the box and to look at a problem, and not just see one answer, but many ways, of achieving the final results Well done mate Tony
Dude that is so ingenious. You should patent that & sell to Bosch as an add-on attachment they would sell....you deserve to be compensated for your ingenuity
A bandsaw as a wood lathe....MIND BLOWN! You are something else man! I want you to know that I am a person revered for my intelligence in the IT world, and you sir, I pay homage to!
Matthias comes in 2 flavours. you can have him - obsessive compulsive precision to the micrometre. OR! ...... junky random - this stuff is not important so it's close enough. This makes Mat the best woodworker ever. Skill and exseriance and knowing where to spend the time /bow
It is necessary to equip the thrust ruler with a mini motor with a roller and a start switch or an optoelectronic pair and a power source from the machine's network. Excellent addition for the machine!
Amigo Matthias W. Usted es un hombre muy ingenioso y su investigación y trabajo tiene que llevarlo otro nivel, asesorandose con un inversionista o empresario de manera de patentar y comercializar tanta creatividad, colocando al alcance de todos, estos inventos que no solo facilitan el trabajo sino que en medios de seguridad son buenisimos. Muchacho tienes que explotar tu creatividad. Estoy sumamente asombrado. Felicitaciones.
Hi Matthias. Thank you. The bit about the brushless drills is very helpful for me. I have been looking for a way of motorising a metalworking mill table and need a slow running motor that does n't overheat - or shut down in the middle of a job. Cheers. BobUK.
I think what I like best about this is the safety implications. Adding an overarm dust collector to the feeder would reduce the odds of cutting a finger while at the same time lowering breathable dust in the shop.
Great video Matthias, and it couldn't be more timely. I am about to make a who bunch of molding and trim for my kitchen and I am most definitely going to make use of this.
Those are inline skate wheels, roller skate wheels may be useful as well. They are generally wider, but smaller in diameter, and the better ones are capable of high RPMs, especially with quality bearings. I greatly enjoy your many jigs and fences, it helps so much to see the development process.
I wish you would revisit this. Use an old corded drill and wood gears to make a 3-4 wheel power feeder. You said you don’t need it but I think your viewer base would enjoy building it as much as using it. It’s really useful, and too expensive for most people to buy. And everyone can find an old corded drill.
GRIPPYER , Lmao . Gyro Gearloose you are a genius. I absolutely loved the way you turned a bandsaw into a lathe. I am pretty good at improvising but you are in a whole nother League from me. I take my hat off to you. Best wishes my friend .
I'm going to make one of these tomorrow! Been trying to figure out how to make one of these for our cheap hot air edge bander. Next might be a box joint jig. Your long reach c clamps are neat all out of wood, but two pieces (cut one in half) of pipe and two 90s is what I did for the frame.
I love that you say the DeWalt is too big and bulky, yet the other drill is fatter. I've always found the DeWalt brushless drills and impacts to be very svelt. The Craftsman brushless drill I have is much more heavy and fat comparatively.
Really neat. I recommend putting something soft like foam between the bolt and the trigger of your drill - the plastic certainly wasn't meant to deal with metal fingers and its an easy fix. It would be a shame to damage the drill.
Even in metal, and even using hand taps (rather than machine taps, intended for power tapping), a battery drill does a better job than turning by hand. Old metalwork teachers will tell you otherwise; that's one of the perils of "knowing too much" -- dismissing something you haven't tried is always risky.
I still think that Matthias is relieving passing-by skaters of their wheels with some sort of clever ruse. Like "Would you like to see my chisel collection?".
Thanks! I'll need a power feeder soon (for similar reasons like you did initially; making moulding), but I "only" have two (ok maybe three) cordless drills, none of which are BLDCs. I figured I'd steal the roller-skate idea but instead of pivoting the shaft and using a cordless drill to drive it, I'd put it on a small stepper motor instead and pivot the whole "power unit" (roller-skate wheel + stepper motor + driver).
What Matthias uses so casually at 1:33 ('turning' down the wood on shaft against the bandsaw) has, IMO, HUGE potential. Why turn wood fast and shape the work using lathe cutting tools... Why not turn the work much more slowly, and apply a rotating saw blade, turning router bit or even CNC end-mill bit. Further, if you're rotating the work very slowly, now you can consider driving that rotation with a stepper, which can have linked-motion control with the cutting drive mechanism.
Agreed. Spinning the wood at high speed makes little sense if you can use a powered cutting tool. There are CNC versions, but I remember seeing a video a long time ago (I believe sponsored by a woodworking magazine) that used manual control. There was a replaceable set of gears on the end which attached the wood spindle to the router feed. Changing the gears gave different ratios, and in turn different patterns in the wood. Simply pick the bit and gears and use the hand crank to cut a pattern. I would love to see a version by some of the DIY RUclips tool makers.
These features in brushless electric rotating tools, constant slow speed without overheating, losing power, or draining batteries, is new to me. Can you think of any other applications where they might prove useful?
Matthias: Points to DeWalt drill "I would have preferred to use this for the feeder..." DeWalt: "He's endorsing our product!" Matthias: "...because I don't like using it as a normal drill." DeWalt: "I'll show myself out..."
That, is a great idea! Could you use an AC motor in place of the battery powered drill? Maybe an old garage door opener motor would be slow enough for the feeder. It looked useful enough to keep jigged up as a portable (around the shop, anyway) unit to help with multiple repetitive tasks.
Maybe consider attaching the pivot arm to the spring and the spring to the adjustment knob. The spring can then keep the pivot at the desired height off the table without the a little block of wood under it.
The Dewalt one for the slow speed I think is incase someone tosses it in a tool box and slightly presses the trigger, it won't run the battery dead. To be honest its a nice feature for a worksite thing. Most people won't be running it slow like that otherwise you are doing something like this.
I suspect that the 5 minute feature is intended to protect the drill when the trigger has been pressed accidentally, like if it fell over or were tossed in the back of a truck or something. It's annoying in this case, but understandable.
I personally dislike finding that the designers of a product have attempted to improve it by making it more suitable for use by fools, because invariably it defeats the use of that tool for any purpose other than whatever the designer had thought of. Uber-specialised, narrow-application products seem like a bonanza for business interests (because every time your need changes a smidgen, you have to go out and buy another doohickey) but it's a veritable PITA for resourceful people who dislike waste ..... including waste of their income and ingenuity.
If you ever make a device truly idiot-proof, nature will simply evolve a better idiot. I think we'd be better off letting the idiots self-select themselves (out of existence).
Mathias, did you considered motor frm windscreen wiperers? It can be powered by batter charger, PC atx power supply, battery and fine sped adjusted. It have big torque becouse gearbox is wormdrive gears, it is smaller, and all construction could be moved up and down (like on horizontal router or flush trim horizontal router). And a usually, you have one great project and idea. Keep going, I wish you all the best.
yes, a wiper motor would be suitable. Though they don't necessarily run that well in reverse. Also, you need a variable DC power supply to be able to adjust the speed. So it's more involved than using a cordless drill.
Your knack for finding the most efficient available solution to a problem is continuously awesome.
Crystal Soulslayer Except he threw those bearings away and spent a ton of time making that stupid wooden hub. Just saying.
MrTeknotronic, my dude. Maybe take a moment to think about how bearings work, and what would have happened if he'd left it in, and get back to us on this.
I'm not saying use the bearing as a bearing, I'm saying bearing+epoxy=hub. 5 minutes, done.
Not sure how durable that would be, because the epoxy would be dealing with the torque of pushing a not-insignificant length of wood through a running saw. My instinct says that's not ideal, but it could work.
2 years later and I just want to say I enjoyed that little discussion.
The way to find the grippiest wheel was great. So simple yet so clever.
damnecuadorian similar method when determining the strongest M&M for reproduction standards
I agree!!
Stretch a section of bicycle inner tube over the wheel, super grippy rubber tyre.
@@atomizer2665 You wouldn't want to introduce a "bump" which would happen at the seam.
Great implementation using things that are on hand. Also worth noting is that the editing, pacing etc. of the video is brilliant.
Yeah, certain You Tube gems like Mr. Wandel are fun to go back to their early days and see how they started out, then look at some intermediate videos. It sure gives you an appreciation for how they do their videos now.
So many problems in the world to be solved... but only one Matthias Wandel :(

Man you are the absolute best. I watch all your videos I wished I could hang out with you for like a month straight. true inspiration thank you
over a year later and i'm still impressed with this. your ingenuity never ceases to amaze me, Matthias.

I thought of inventing this 7 months ago! Well done matthias you brilliant madman!
I am amazed every time I watch your videos. The content you provide is on another level, and no one else compares. Keep up the great work!

Just showed this to our maintenance dept. It's there project of the week.
Thanks Matthias
This is the best god damn woodworking channel on RUclips.
Okay, you definitely win the cleverest Canadian award. I can't wait for your book, whenever that may be
I love the makeshift lathe/bandsaw. :)
tool abuse!
Poor man's lathe
WOW
It's amazing the way you find solution for everything...
Thank you Matthias and Congrats...

I like watching you figure out problems.
The next one is to build an automated sanding machine to clean up the cove cuts 😉

Holy SHIT! Unobtainable genius! SO many amazing videos. THANK YOU.
First time I ever saw a band saw be a lathe. Now I see it all the time in my shop. Thanks, MW.
Good build, Matthias, I enjoy your engineering.
When you use your bandsaw as a lathe
Now try using your lathe as a band saw. 🤔
Mitch King Chuck the part in the lathe and push a saw blade against it.
Drill was the lathe, bandsaw would have been the cutting tool.
@@danielallen2000 Spin ya lathe up with a rotary cutting tool, and let it eat through the wewd. 🤷
This blew my mind tbh. Now I’ll never need a lathe! 😂
Very clever, always enjoy watching your video on Friday mornings!
its funny how i subscribed to see more of his marble machines 8 years ago, but he stopped those about that time.
DAMN!!! a mini-lathe with the bandsaw... the guy's aMAZING!
Awesome man, you are so full of DIY ideas.
Simply magic !! Thanks Mrs.Wandel
You're one crafty dude. Thanks for the video.
There is some genius at work here!! I want Matthias instead of Lizz on the Canadian $20!! Mind Blown, as they say.
Great video!... I can tell you're getting back in your groove. Keep them coming!
You are a mechanical genius!
Chapeau Matthias Wandel! Nice feeder!
Great video! This gives me inspiration for a project I'm working on. Love your videos.
He is amazing engineer! Great respect for his mind!
This guy is a freakn genius!!!
I love that you say the DeWalt is too big and bulky, yet the other drill is fatter. I've always found the DeWalt brushless drills and impacts to be very svelt. The Craftsman brushless drill I have is much more heavy and fat comparatively.
Matthias doesn't know the difference between a roller skate and a roller blade. Such a dad :)
My lord man, you are a genius.
I would have thought that lathes had been legalized in Canada by now. They are really useful for making round stuff.
Really neat. I recommend putting something soft like foam between the bolt and the trigger of your drill - the plastic certainly wasn't meant to deal with metal fingers and its an easy fix. It would be a shame to damage the drill.
Nice tapping of threads! Always wanted to try it myself!
Even in metal, and even using hand taps (rather than machine taps, intended for power tapping), a battery drill does a better job than turning by hand. Old metalwork teachers will tell you otherwise; that's one of the perils of "knowing too much" -- dismissing something you haven't tried is always risky.
Good comment on keeping the roller perpendicular and just changing the angle of the device.
ERES UN GENIO, SALUDOS DESDE PUNTA UMBRÍA-HUELVA-ANDALUCÍA-ESPAÑA.
As always....
Pure genious creativity.
I've been wanting to make one of these ever since I made the "micro adjustable table saw fence video". Nice job!
I've always wanted to see you build a new shop tool.....maybe a drum sander - even if you wouldn't use it frequently.
If it's a tool I don't use, then I wouldn't be adequately testing it.
Yeah, how often do you need to sand a drum anyway?
lol, its a large thickness sander (drum sander) - used for sanding surfaces accurately.
Greg Feneis's drums must be rough as hell.
I still think that Matthias is relieving passing-by skaters of their wheels with some sort of clever ruse. Like "Would you like to see my chisel collection?".
You are a damn (Genius) You have a over re-active mind, those wheels of yours are always turning!! Thank You for sharing buddy!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
the newer tools these days have cool features where you can adjust speed through software when there's a full trigger pull. Kinda cool
You sound sick yet you still made a video. That's dedication.
I don't know wtf you do for a job... But what ever they're paying you isn't enough! You come across like a science teacher..... 😁
Dude powerfeeds are like £600 from axminster and you just did it with like £5 worth of scrap. Brilliant
I vote for the gears! Complicated is always better.
Awesome Matthias you just keep coming up with new idea. You
I think this deserves a coat of green paint!
Very good indeed.The only thing I will do different is to clean the bearings, roughen the shaft big time and fill the wheel with thickened epoxy.
Thanks!
I'll need a power feeder soon (for similar reasons like you did initially; making moulding), but I "only" have two (ok maybe three) cordless drills, none of which are BLDCs.

You need a very large stepper motor for this, plus the controller. A brushless drill will be MUCH cheaper

they are more efficient and don't have brushes to wear out.
YES! Thank you, Matthias! I love this video!
really cool! if ever make a lot of baseboards I will have to make this! Thanks for sharing

Freestyle milling on the bandsaw, made my day.
Round the bottom right corner of the pivot block you are attaching out at @4:20 for additional vertical clearance?
Great imagination makes great tools.
This guy is an evil mad scientist. I love him...
That, is a great idea! Could you use an AC motor in place of the battery powered drill? Maybe an old garage door opener motor would be slow enough for the feeder. It looked useful enough to keep jigged up as a portable (around the shop, anyway) unit to help with multiple repetitive tasks.
That is a handy jig ! Awesome.

It's a good feature, there should be a documented way to override it though.
If you don't design your product with idiots in mind, they may end up suing you because they were idiots.
If you ever make a device truly idiot-proof, nature will simply evolve a better idiot. I think we'd be better off letting the idiots self-select themselves (out of existence).
Even idiots can hire a good lawyer.
Most excellent idea! My saw doesn't have t slots just the ¾"square slot. How would you attach that to the table top?

Have you consider using metal in your fixtures and use a lathe and Bridgeport style mill. Because you are pretty clever guy.
Simple. Works. The fewer bits there are, the fewer bits can fail :-)
