That’ll teach me to watch videos when I don’t know what’s being made. Next try making a hard drive from an old knife sharpener…?
Ha! Thank you for the chuckle!
You do what you can you "privileged" man, appreciate his efforts if you can.
Your justification for crying "privileged" is what? ?.?🤔?.?
Time and $ spent on parts = time and $ spent on purchasing 1/4” grinder from Harbor Freight Tools store.
@@johnlauchner7383 -- I think he does it just for the fun of it. Some dudes just like to roll their own.
Thanks for realizing me that throwing the old HDD in trash was a
better choice..
it's not a better choice
I never throw them away
I use the platters for coffee cup coasters
and the shells for putting screws in when i pull apart electronics
it's also good when you are soldering and you can solder over the hard drive enclosure so that your solder doesn't fall on your bench, but instead in your HDD Housing
@@martinkuliza I do the same - I have so many discs now I use as coasters - the screws are useful too
@@chrisgraver2112
yeah they come in hand, so do the magnets of course
and if you know how.. ON CERTAIN BOARDS you can use donor parts to repair other hard drives
@@martinkuliza Ever heard of real coasters and plastic boxes for screws?
I pull the magnets and throw the rest away
It's a good demonstration of how to access the functionality of the small high-RPM motor present in hard drives. Not sure a grinder would be the first application I'd apply this to but it's food for thought. Your patience with the hacksaw is impressive.
Am I supposed to be impressed?
@@chasimonoh I barely have the patience to hacksaw through a nail before I say screw it and grab the Dremel, so I'm impressed that anyone would take the time to hacksaw through the entire width of a hard drive case. That's bananas.
@@houseofdiy1030 there are a few good videos on youtube about angle grinder safety, some of which are applicable here. A HDD motor is capable of running at 5,400 RPM. If that disc should break up at that speed, especially with abrasive material on its surface, it's going to cause injuries.
This project is a really, really bad idea. I agree with you though that it's good to show how the motor can be used, but I'd agree this project is a bad idea. Especially given that it's cheap enough to buy a proper grinder.
@@derekstuart5234 "cheap enough to buy a proper grinder" is quite relative term of comparison. Consider India has over 1 billion population, the vast majority living on around $2/day. There could be over 1 billion discarded hard drives circulating in the world.
@@gregrice3867 I suggest looking a bit more into angle grinder safety videos.
You might learn something. These are not toys and a fast rotating disc can quite easily shatter- trust me, it hurts.
This is a life lesson in so many ways. Time management. Cost benefit. Clickbait awareness. Bait n switch. Algorithm resistance. Sunk cost falacy and more. Life changing. I will never ever click anything again ever.
15 min I'll never get back. Why in the hell would I go through all that when I can go to harbor freight and get a 20 dollar angle grinder that works much better
@@jasonclark6194 ,
A simple 775 Motor will do this much better with less efforts. Provided you are not willing to waste you time.
Truly Amazing, incredible, really. That's the most stupendous thing I've ever seen. I have to go sit down.
😆😂
😂😂😂thank god i saw ur comment b4 watching this video
😂😂
There's 13 minutes and 38 seconds of my life squandered.
That's why you use seek bar on shitty ideas videos. you guess them from the word "amazing" in the title and nothing relevant in the video thumbnail.
That’s 15 minutes I’ll never get back. Stick that disk on a drill.... same thing, more power
How strong is the motor in a harddisk? The only thing I really know about them, is that they're very strong, compact, precise and silent. But aren't you doing something horribly wrong when you need that kind of extreme power in a sanding disk anyway? I think I would prefer the low noise and high precision control, which is why I sometimes use a dremel instead of a hand drill. But I guess to each their own.
in life there is very much we need to learn for the advancement of our life on this planet earth that we love

@@jeschinstad No. A hard drive motor runs very stable and true. The fact that he uses 100 grit sandpaper is probably a cost issue. For a person working with lapidary and fine polishing, this is a brilliant idea. Just replace the sandpaper with a 1200 grit diamond lap or a tin polishing wheel.
Dear god, why didn't I just read the comments FIRST before wasting my time
@@mycrazygrandpa yes why didn't you.
Now you've made a fool of yourself.
The idea of using a HD motor for a grinder is fine. You should just use it for fine work with a diamond wheel or something like that. Not for something you'd be better of using a dremel or an angle grinder.
This dude is just eyeballing his whole project.
So this is what a waste of time looks like 😂
That was great! 🤣👍
Should have been labeled Amazing way to waster 13 minutes of your life.
yeah i was scared he was going to saw his thumb off with that rusty saw, 12mins later i wished he had
Thanks goodness I decided to come to for the comments before watching the video. Not going to waste watching the video. Thank you for the foresight 😀
@@hughjanus2465 that was scary for me too. but he is not a time waster. On the opposite: he is using his time to create something for himself. NOT FOR ME. I respect him for having a good idea
2.8M views, I'm intrigued 🤔
Start watching... ok where are we going... FFWD
1.2K comments... are you kidding me... Sandpaper?
2.8 million of us got Rick Rolled! 😆
Most fun is just collecting the actuator magnets.
Best fridge magnets ever.
Watching it from beginning to the end without skipping, observing all the details with all the screws et al was an accepted challenge for me.
😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
Glad I skip to the end, I could use that hdd as a sanding block way more better use of time. LOL
Thanks
he had a good time though, no doubt about that. I can go to a hardware shop around the corner..But hey, he didn't go out during pandemi lockdown for sure.. He saved himself didn't he?
Personally, I prefer the traditional whetstone approach but I appreciate curious minds.
🤣 good joke and true
I was taught years ago that the way to put a new end (tip) on a screwdriver was to put the screwdriver in a vice with the tip barely extending. With a good file run the file across the tip of the blade to make a new tip end. Next put the screwdriver in the vice where you can file a new flat side on the screwdriver and then do the other side the same way.
It's cheaper to buy new screwdriver
Gotta be cheaper than buying a new screwdriver if no-one is charging for labour.
I take care of my tools worth the effort..I have old axe / hammer I've cut an inch off the blade resharpening it but it will out last me ..
thats 13 minutes of my life I'll never get back.....
You’ll never get any of it back. That’s not how time works...
Until right near the end I kept saying, while laughing, WTF is this guy doing?
The first YT video i gave a thumb down
Only 1:40 of mine Thanks!
That's why I went straight to comments.
Hilarious, I love it. It's a shankmaster 10,000 thumbs up 😂
Here's the last thing I like to hear when disposing of an old hard drive: "PULL!"
I like it!
Mine tend to develop permanent "error .223" or "error "45 ACP"
Constructional madness!
Sometimes some ideas are just not worth pursuing.
THIS would be one of them.
Why, why do I always fall for these?
Note to self: Always read comments 1st
10 seconds, see your comment....bailing. Thank you!
fifteen bloody minutes of my life lost forever
13 minutes I'll never get back.
After seeing this I wanna donate my eyes😁
lol
Free eye balls? I’ll take them-they would super cool rotating on this contraption!!
@@T4BCSY bro first make this shit 😂
@@tutulahkar2299 I wouldn’t really make this piece of shit for anything. Guess I’ll just have to get a new pair of glasses. Maybe get an extra set of opaque glasses for watching videos like this?

Hi, don't worry about people who do not appreciate your effort and work, if not people like you , that have creativity, we would still use candles if Thomas Edison gave up after few failures, it is your idea and your time, and creating something on your own is better than buying everything. Thank
Pls someone call the Nobel committe. He has just invented the sanding disk!
He didn't invent anything. He just made a grinding machine from an old HDD. It's fun and nerdy. Not because he had to, but because he can!
A harddisk electric motor doesn't have enough torque to use to this... It's ok for any small work, but not the best choice.
😂😥😉
Ooookies...Was intrigued by the vid, but one would have to be REALLY bored to want to sit down and have the patience to build what is basically a cheap grinder, that one can buy for £20 quid upward. I am guessing the stuff one needs to build this, ended up costing just as much. But thanks for the 07.00 mins (I skipped 6.32 mins of the screwing and unscrewing, etc.) ...it helped pass the time while I waited for my Daughter to finally get ready so I could drive her home. I have to admit though, until I watched this vid, i did not realize just how much work of mechanical and electric engineering went in to building a harddrive, so thanks for that too :0)
Now if you could turn an angle grinder into a massive drive , now that would be impressive
There's nothing like a good powerful grinder and this is nothing like a good powerful grinder.
As danishdart mentioned below, this is better suited for fine polishing and lapidary work than as a course sanding wheel. The HDD platter is very flat which should make it a good surface for final polishing small chisels and such with 1,000 to 6,000 grit papers, as long as not too much pressure is applied. Skip the CA glue step so paper can be changed more easily.
Well, the "flatness" of the basic disk is compromised by the stuff you attach to it. Were one to find some abrasive stuff to the Al disk you would have a flat grinding surface (except for the flexibility!)
A better idea would be to put velcro instead of double sided tape. Many sanding discs come with velcro hooks on them
@@Joxman2k Others are self adhesive, which might be another alternative. I have some of them but they are fine grit so would be more suitable for modelling work or polishing.
@@BoingBB Velcro could still work if you put the self adhesive ones onto a CD disk, or similar flat plastic, and put the mate to the velcro on the plastic disk :)
@@Joxman2k Yes I suppose that would work too.
Very creative.. you have a talent.... good job
Very ingenious! Every shop can use a sander/grinder! Thank You!
Just use dc motor and a cheap potentiometer and a cd
All the work for sharpening the screwdriver. Cheaper to get a new screwdriver
Not to undervalue the joy of a DIY project, or your clever ingenuity, but grinders are pretty inexpensive. ;-)
I got to Agree. Not to mention, he probably would end up spending the same amount on the extra circuit board, switches and stuff that would have paid for a decent grinder.
Plus he's got to have a fair amount of knowledge concerning how to "Wire" that contraption....lol.
One things for sure, he's definitely got a lot of extra time on his hands....
@@joeleyendecker5346 o
Makes me glad we have "fast forward."
Now that I know what you are going to use them for, you may *_not_* borrow my scissors!
😲
skipped to last 30 seconds. glad I did
Good idea, making silver from gold.
How is a broken harddisk comparable to gold? It's more like making a silent Dremel from a steel brick. The motors in harddisks lasts for a very, very long time, but a harddisk itself only lasts a few years because of the extreme sensitivity of the heads.
A better idea would be to build a hand held discombobulator....make somebody you hate have a really bad day,..satisfaction guaranteed.

I'm just happy i have fast forward to fastly see a sander.
When I watch makers on here use cutting tools it always amazes me that they retain full sets of fingers.
@ Andrew Hardman.A carpenter told me when I was a child after having asked him if he was not afraid using all those ultra sharp tools that he had,that more accidents are caused in the workshop due to blunt tools than sharp ones.I have always lived by that rule ever since.
I made it to 2:13 seconds and gave completely UP!
Maybe you can TRY doing all that "dis-assembling" of that video....LOL!
What would really get tongues wagging is a frame over that with precision ways and a linear actuator. And much more fine-grit sandpaper. High-precision tabletop surface grinder, for cheap. Might need a ring of precision BB's under the disk/platen for stability, but one-half a ball-bearing race could do it, if a large diameter can be found with small, low-inertia bb's. High-precision surface grinders don't use much power b/c they remove microscopic amounts of metal.
These are the skills of someone who spend a good bit of time in the joint.
You could have done the same with an old CD and drill bit on the end of a drill held in a vice
true but i think the hard drive might be more durable in the long run. at least for a DIY project
Next .....stripping down a crane to make a lever
Amazing 😃 I didn't read the description so I watched in amazement what this is going to be.... So now I know! Tx! One thing I will definitely remember is that these hard drives have a powerful motor to do all kinds of things with. I have a whole bunch of those from my Raid system. So now I know I have all these motors in there to do stuff with!
These motors are fast, not powerful. The slightest bit of drag almost kills the RPM. There's a reason real shop grinders are 1/4 horsepower or more.
@@randallsemrau7845 Ok tx! 😃 Now I know!
You've spent an inordinate amount of time making something that's completely useless. However this is what artists do. Ergo, you are an artist and an exceptionally interesting one at that!
Thanks for making power tool...
Hope it helps to decide whether you want to watch it: He is creating a sanding disc.
yeah...wished I seen this earlier...I want my wasted 13:38 back....lmao
@@thecentralscrutinizer5105 same here....
Already late for work but noooo,I must see this
Good vid man
I _guess_ so. It works, but wouldn't a cheap (see Harbor Freight) mini-grinder do just as well?
I tried doing it but i got lost just after opening my hard disk.
I must say being unsuccessful at it was one of my most worthy moments in life.
Where did you get stuck ?
@@martinkuliza Bait meet fish.
nossa !!! um trabalho danado , gasto de peças e uma mão de obra para fazer um esmeril ? ,sem comentario .
It’s a stupid idea after going through a lot of hassles to make a mini sanding machine 👎🤔😳
I agree too. Too lengthy video and project not worth the time and effort
of course. the old completely dismantle the old hard drive trick.
Walmart mini grinder $40 and no building you do the math.
That might be a months wages for some...
I got my Walmart grinder for $12 on sale, normally $17.
He spent money on the new drive motor, box, switches etc, He could have bought a file to sharpen the blades at the end.
Nice job! Even if one is not interested in making something out of an old HD, just taking it apart - there's a crap ton of screws that can be reused for whatever, and can never have enough screws in the bucket o' bolts stash
13 minutes to make, basically, a nail file ...
Lmao!!!
We need to change an old car to new carriage.
Well done!
This is so cool. I spent all weekend making this, then dropped the thing on the floor and the glass disk shattered. It's ok, the tape kinda still holds it together.
use an old dvd or cd
So you’ve got the glass disk, and here I thought they only came in aluminum disks.
@@EMPIREJIN I think I heard the glass was in the laptop (2.5") drives. But that may be out-of-date.
@@chaos.corner oh I c, I haven’t got any pleasure with an hdd off a laptop yet
Toss that thing. You do not want that disc spinning at (whatever the RPM is) and have it start falling apart. The entire project is like building a Russian Roulette angle grinder.
Acyually, if you take one apart the disk it's self is a very durable first surface mirror that is incredibly tough. It is VERY difficult to even put a scratch on it. I used to use one as a shaving mirror when camping. The hole in the middle makes them easy to hang on a nail or a tree limb.
Well the thing he made may not be something I have any need for, it has inspired me to try repurposing an old drive to make a turntable. It will be interesting to see if it is capable of driving a relatively massive platter and keeping speed consistency.
Any result?
also interested to hear if u tried it =)
Harbor Freight has an angle grinder for 3 dollars on Black Friday.
I think you could change your background music...
It is so cool but I've already got one something like that so I do not need to make it. Thanks!
Cool but just use sandpaper? I converted my upright vacuum into a mortar
Ok

My Principles of Communication instructor back in college told us to submit a demux/multiplexer project, and I laughed when my some of my classmates submitted something just like this. I wondered where they got the idea.🤣
Actually, this is why they make belt sanders and angle grinders, bench grinders......so I don't have to learn electronics...but interesting project....
I like watching people who are innovative like this.
But can you record data on your old broken angle grinder?
Depends on what grit it is to how much data you can store, the finer the grit the more data …
as a laptop repair texhy. i have thrown away so many hardrives and now i got into woodworking i could have made so many of these for sanding corners etc.
Thanks. I bought brushless motor drivers a time ago. but I thought thy were dont working with HDD motors. After Seeing this vdo, I tried them. Working Perfectly. thanks again
Great for Staind glass 🎇 work
Or you could just buy a sharpening stone or grinding wheel.
Very good nice video
I seriously doubt that motor has that much torque to grind something with any pressure...
Pudding, Spaghetti?
It's a good demonstration
I'm just imagining the engineers who designed this being mortified by the dust and fingerprints getting inside their chassis.
Good thing I always go to the end of videos like this first.
Me too!
an old appliance motor would provide more torque and would be way simpler to wire up but I agree with houseofdiy1030 that your patience level is almost deific. :)
Awesome repurpose of old HD. Thanks for the Video!
I'm impressed! Patience and skill! :-)
However, I am not sure about security , keep it away from children and the abrasive paper too much often needs to be replaced...
I own a efficient small grinder, cheap price.
There used to be drill sander with a flexible shaft, with VELCRO pads... about the same size. So putting velcro on it, and perhaps on the pads as well, or being able to buy the standard pads to put on it. I did some sales with them as a demo at a couple of shows and markets. The Disc O Flex Sander.
OMG I want this 10 back in my life. And for those that spent $30 bucks to make this LOL.
why stop at sanpaper? use it to make your drink too/
Oh
Good nice. A side grinder work's to
Or you could just get on Amazon and buy a new screwdriver
Bad assumption that he's in a 1st-world or 2nd-world country. Most 3rd-world countries resort to things like this.
This is mental!. I see EASY TECH has 422k subscribers. I'm bloody baffled how they all operate on youtube vids in the confines of a straitjacket?
woah! what i lot of work/effort and expensive just to make a orbital sander!!
I feel like my eyeballs need a tetanus shot now
useful video...........................
There are some nice permanent magnets inside an HDD. And, I have once used a hard drive motor as a bearing for a DIY hamster wheel. The wheels that you can buy off the shelf are typically creaking and rattling. I used an appropriate cylindrical plastic continer for the wheel and fitted one HDD platter centered to the container's bottom to make the plastic bottom stiffer (as a reinforcement). During the nights, all I can hear is the little paws tapping on plastic, rather than something rattling and shaking the whole cage.
Couldn't be more dangerous! The rotating ceramic of the disc is extremely brittle under any kind of pressure. That is why the disks work in the VACUUM state! And I say this as a computer and electronics technician.
Nice job converting the hard drive to a grinding wheel I have to say but I rather just spend $30 on a grinding wheel machine that you can get at Home Depot
A really Dreadful presentation 👺
Can you do better ? We doubt it !
Turning modern technology into something a cave man wouldn't be excited by
OMG I have laughed so hard with some of the comments... Good stuff. And although the surprise with the screwdriver at the end also made me laugh. I did learn some. @Grants Pass TV Repair says it best "Not to undervalue the joy of a DIY project, or your clever ingenuity, but grinders are pretty inexpensive." Thank you for showing us this project.
IME, the most common cause of hard drive failure is poor plug contacts, especially with early external drives that were basically internal drives in a box. This lead to a piggyback lead system when the internal plug would fail. These contact failures lead to apparently missing files, folders and broken segments. Simply taking the plugs apart and treating the pins and wire to pin contacts with a contact cleaner & conditioner fixes the connectivity problem so that on reboot the drive comes up clean and restores the drive directory bringing back previously lost files that your computer tech said were unrecoverable...... DAH
once they started grinding that screwdriver on there... I was pretty sure the files were lost. Your comment gave me hope, so thank you.
@@wookiee1807 Yep, just saying that trying the easiest, low impact, low cost option in an attempt to recover files is probably a better 1st option than making them forever unrecoverable by assigning drives to the bin or repurposing into workshop tools. Not that they haven't tried here (we don't see that), but the bin is probably the most common 1st response. Most people, even computer techs just don't know this approach to electronics & hardware repair though it works most times.
@@kenwebster5053 see, I live a couple of miles from our recycling drop-off. There's an old box trailer that they let people dump their old electronics into. I get cool junk all the time, I just don't know what to do with it.
230v blower motors, an iMac that works, ipods, iPads, old laptops, blenders, fans, u name it, it's been in there.
I even took a couple cooling blowers off some old tanning beds and found out they were $500/piece!
@@wookiee1807 OK, do you get some of this. repair, move it on, put it to use, repurpose etc? where I am , it's now illegal to resell old electronics without and safety ticket from a certified electrician. So, pretty much all of it goes to landfill these days. There is recycling but, you know that system is in reality broken. If I come across something that seems worthwhile, I have a go a repairs, but some things I regard as just too dangerous, large capacity capacitors for example. Yes I can discharge them but they make me nervous, so "NO" to microwaves ovens as far as I am concerned.
nice
