This is one of the best DIY power feeders I've seen. Finding a gearbox could be a stumbling block for most ppl. A good source of small free/cheap gearboxes are self-propelled lawnmowers / push mowers. I even have a couple that are 3 speed. One trip to the junk yard, garage sales, recycling center etc can yield a few of them.
+Frank W Thank you Frank for that generous comment. It is much appreciated. I have never thought of using a lawnmower gearbox. that sure sounds interesting. It would be cool to hear from you if you decide to test one out
you prolly dont care but if you are stoned like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my gf for the last couple of days xD
Great idea using the hockey pucks i was thinking about skateboard wheels. Because of the flat surface. But the hockey puck was brilliant ! I liked that. Speed adjustment too and the fact it Worked on the many different thicknesses without major readjustment ! Looking. Way foward to watching more of your videos on the channel
Thanks Craig. I think it would also work with skateboard wheel. The hockey pucks have a serrated edge, that helps with the grip. Thanks for watching and hang on. There will be more projects added
Very nice rig! Thanks for the credit to man I appreciate that. I got to do a new one too and I might rob a few of your Ideas in my new design. Thumbs up for sure man
Wooden Tool Man Thanks Wayne. Looking forward to see what you come up with. I am working on another version trying to use more readily available parts, so its easier for others to make also.
WoodRodent Thank you, The speed reduction woks Ok. If I had the chance I might pick a gear reduction beeing maybe 50:1 or 100:1, to get even more torque. The drill runs on absloute minimum speed at the lowest speed. I have not used it for serious deep and heavy cuts to test the torque. but I think it will serve me ok in most cases
Could this be used on the outfeed of a jointer table? I'm a wheelchair user and find the action of planing very difficult/dangerous, so if I could be on the infeed side and just pass stuff through, letting it do the hard work of holding it down flat to the outfeed table, it would be much easier for me.
It might, but as you say it might be best on the infeed side, but it would be harder to get away with jointing the last end. Shifting pressure to the outfeed table when passing the center of the board usually helps. It might work best with one on each side. Kudos to you for to for being into woodworking despite of your obstacles
Bid Budy Thank you. As you tighten the nut on the threaded rod you squeeze the rubber hockepuck to grab on to the shaft. Very much like a drum on a commercial drumsander
+Flatdog Sound & Light Thank you very much. Yes it flexes a little. I am in the process of rebuilding my router table and will make a more ridgid attachment of the fence, like you suggest. Thanks again for the kind comments, and for watching
+Coffieman5150 Its salvaged from an old German profiling machine made by Homag in the early 90`s. It was mounted on the one of the spindles servomotor driving the tool into position. I have a couple more , along with the servomotors, but I did not keep the servodrives unfortunately
Thanks. It is a 25:1 gear reduction out of an old wood profiling machine. It had servo driven positioning of the spindles, and a picked the machine before it got scarpped
That is a well thought out feeder. I have literally tons of lumber to rabbet the edges of for siding and flooring. We have been sawing lumber for building our house and it's time to start finishing the rough sawn to finished now , and need such a feeder. What did the worm gear drive fit or come off of? What ratio is it as well? From watching yours with that drill motor it appears you have the perfect range of speeds. We have a few worm drives from the scrap yard that I bought at scrap prices but they're at least 3 - 4 times the size of yours and would be too big and bulky.
Hi Phil. It came of an industrial woodworking machine. I was installed on a servo motor positioning some milling motors in a line. Its a 25:1 reduction. but if you plan to use a drill, i would suggest you get one with at least 50:1 maybe even more. The drill has to be run on absolutely slowest settings, and that reduces the torque some, and also makes speed adjusting harder
Thank you for the generous comment. You can do everything you want. Dont be afraid to try out your ideas, its the best way to learn. Sometimes you succeed, sometimes you dont. either way you have learned something new. thanks for watching
OMG! That is awesome!! I bet you and Matthais get along great - you're kindred spirits. We need a few hundred of you brilliant guys in the same room so you can solve a few of the world's problems... :)
Thanks. It would have been a blast to share a day with Matthias in the shop...He sure has some great ideas, and thank you for the generous comment, it is much appreciated

Straight into the TODO jig list ! Thanks for sharing :-) Planned to share/sell the plans ?
+Jérémie Tarot Thank you for watching and commenting Jérémie. I do not have plans for this as it is custom made to fit this old salvaged gear reduction. I did try to scout for a good radily available substitute, but could not find one. I might try to make one with just wooden gears
8 лет назад
Thought so after posting ! It's been a couple of days I think I have to look for wooden gear box project... Could be a nice application :)
I have been trying to do this myself for the past few months with little success, before I found this. thank you. Motors I have used are from garage door openers, and are chain driven, except the last which is a 12v marine line haul 2 speed motor. All chains and sprockets have come from the openers with the sprockets for the wheel drives, from the bike shop. All drive parts are on the inside of the fence, with the wheels going through so I can still use feather boards and have good visibility. My issue is that my wheels do not grip. I started using the 100mm scooter wheels, they try to work, but there is not enough bearing surface so they slip, have made wooden ones and now looking for a tread to put on. would like to try the hockey putt idea, but they are as scarce as here in NZ. I like the idea of sprockets and will investigate that as it is a lot more compact. thanks for you video and your ideas. - Les
Rod Roberts Thank you. The gearbox is salvaged from a servo motor that used to be on a German Homag profiling machine. we dismantled it at work many years ago, and it has been sitting around waiting for the right use. I am sure there are avaiable gearboxes out there somewhere. maybe ebay.com?
Great machine! On my to-build list. Curious... what is the orange measuring tape that you used on the height adjustment called and where does one pick it up at?
Jim S Thank you Jim. They are adhesive tape measure made for taylors and cutting boards and such. You get the on a roll really cheap, and the one I bought is 95cm and repeats 20 times on the roll.I even got this one with readings Right to Left. Just type: "adhesive tape measure repeat" on ebay seach and you will find plenty
SzymekCRX Thank you, They are mounted with a slight angle towards the fence to pull the stock tight to the fence. the angle of attack can be adjusted with the to helx bolts on the right side of the drill
Sharpest idea I have seen all weekend. really cool. Seems like ou are not asking too much of the drill either. The gear reduction should allow it to continue to operate well.
phooesnax Thank you very much, glad you liked it. If I had the option, I would go for an even larger gear ratio, making the drill run faster. Now it is on an absolute minimum rpm
Tayler Made Thank you Sir. It was actually some production work that got me thinking od this 2 yrs ago. I was making alot of slats with roundovers on all 4 sides for some louvered doors, and started grinding on the idea
Christian Vale Thank you Christian. The gear is a 25:1 reduction angle gear. I salvaged it from an old German profiling machine for laminate flooring many years ago. So unfortunately I have no good answer for you
Great idea! I was looking at ac gear drive motors. They come with variable speed controller. You can choose different gear ratios. Would a 50-1 work ok? I believe the rpm was 0-25. They are about $70. Approximately what rpm should the feed rollers run? What is the diameter of the gears. That would all change the speed. Thanks, looking for reply
aintgonnahappen Thank you. There might be some plans in the future, but It would have to be redesigned to be made from readily available parts. It might just happen
Bellevue Woodshop The hardest part to duplicate would probably be the gear reduction. You might consider just drawing up your build, just as it is. Anyone buying your plans could make adjustments for whatever hardware they can find. (Edit: over 11,000 "gear reducers" on eBay.... maybe not hard to find after all!?)
Happy New Year Roy! Wow! What a great build. Very impressive. I guess the only question I have is how did you make the feed rollers keep the stock up against the fence? Are they set facing slightly inwards at the back? Cheers. Oh, BTW it's 42 degree C here today. Summer is just starting to warm up. What's it like there?
David Handley Thanks, and aHappy New year to you also David. Thanks for the kind words on the project, glad you liked it. The feed rollers have a slight angle towards the fence. The angle of attack can be adjusted with the 2 hex bolts on the right side of the power drill. I propably did not show this to well in the video. 42 celsius?...holy moly, you lucky dog. after a week with freezing temperature below 0, we finally hit the plus side. 3 degress celcius today. No summer in sight yet......
+Joel Genaw I bought them off ebay. The crosshair/line is just scored into the plat side of the magnifying glass, and then line is filled with a permanent marker. they are aprox 1 usd for 5 pc. just search for 5pcs Style Plastic Handheld Mini Magnifier Magnifying Reading Aid
Very fine work !! but i was wondering, do you know other DIY versions for this tool ?? I would be so gratefull. We need something more simple :D Thanks already and Bravo !
Thank you. I have not seen any specific online. The main issue is gearing and torque. any decent size gearmotor with the correct ratio (maybe 10rpm?) could maybe do the trick😄👍
Just wow! I guess I will be building this the day I'll be making siding for my house) I'm wondering however, if you tried this with featherboards to push slightly bent stock towards the fence?
+Bellevue Woodshop very nice idea/design. The only thing that I would like to suggest is that for the variable speed you could add a dimmer switch and always have the drilled on. In my opinion the dimmer would be an easier way to control power output.
+marcoagarza I have never tried regulating the speed with a dimmer. Might give better control, but have not had any issues yet with speed regulation. Thanks for watching and commenting
The Lordship Thank you Kenneth. Yes Matthias Wandel and Wooden Tool Man have alot of interesting stuff and usefull projects to follow, I really enjoy their channels
Seus trabalhos são muito criativos ! vocês tem muitas idéias boas, muita criatividade .aqui no Brasil ,se temos idéias enfrentamos dificuldades .máquinas são caríssimas ,estacionaria nem se fala .Parabéns pelo trabalho de primeira.
Leonardo Rinaldes Obrigado Leonardo, fico feliz que tenha gostado. Aqui na Noruega estas são feitas apenas para uso na fábrica e não pessoal. Como tal eles são muito caros para comprar
Awesome, I was hoping that the Wooden Tool Man would produce a build video and a walkthrough on the build...but you did it first. Although, one could never duplicate your build, it solves many problems vs starting over from scratch...so thank you! Any thoughts on making plans available for us? The only part that I am unsure of where to get is your salvaged angle gear reduction mechanism...are those freely available for purchase? What exactly is it meant to achieve? Thank YOU!
MP Woodworking Thank you very much. I to followed the build, but after part 5 in oct 2013, it ended. So I pulled out the feeder I had started 2 yrs ago, and I really liked the idea of the hockey pucks and gears, instead of the rubber coated plywood wheels I had, with chain and sprocket. There might be plans available, but it would have to be redesigned a little to only use readily available parts. I have started a couple of tests on this, but no promises. the gear is mainly to reduce the speed so that an amount of torque is obtained from the drill, as it can ride on a decent speed.It did not hurt that it was angled, at i saved space. i thought of using an angle gear from an old 5" angle grinder, but this has only a 4.5:1 gear ratio
Thanks for your reply, and anything you have in forms of plans, I would love to see. Even beside the speed reduction portion, I would like to start to attempt this. Along with Izzy's osculating sander, these two are now atop of my "things to do" column.
Grahame Blankley Thanks, yes you are correct, it lifts a little, but it doesn affect the cutting action or accuracy. maybe the compression springs for the vertical motion are to stiff?
Clever idea, I just got one question: Did you angle the feed rollers inwards to pinch the stock against the outfeed fence to keep it tight against it or does the wheels track in parallel with the fence?
+Morten Mortensen Thanks Morten. Yup, they are slightly angled towards the fence. The angle of attack can be adjusted 5:10 The 2 6mm machine screws on the right side
I salvaged it from an old industrial profiling machine. They used to sit on some servo motors, and they are a 25:1 ratio, to increase the torque of the drill, it would be better to use at least 50:1
Thanks Chuck for the kind feedback. Nope, located in the southern part of Norway. The reason for the name is due to Bellevue being the name of the lot where my house sits 😀

if you attach that thing to a jointer, you can create a homemade plainer!
Super. The easy on and off from the fence is great. Are you happy with the speed reduction or change it?

Thanks for your reply, and anything you have in forms of plans, I would love to see. Even beside the speed reduction portion, I would like to start to attempt this. Along with Izzy's osculating sander, these two are now atop of my "things to do" column.
What is the angle gear reducer from?
redfoot1958 Its salvaged from an old servo drive that used to sit on a German profiling machine tha we dismantled at work many years ago
однако, круто очень...зачет
I like it,I can see your fence rise up and down a bit as wood went under,Grahame UK.
Grahame Blankley Thanks, yes you are correct, it lifts a little, but it doesn affect the cutting action or accuracy. maybe the compression springs for the vertical motion are to stiff?
this could be very good to a table saw
איל לרנר Maybe i should try it if I have alot of ripping

Thats pretty sick
WestCoastMods Glad you liked it
Great Video well done and thank you for sharing. You have great new year and take care Michael.
Michael Davis Thanks a lot Michael, and best wishes for you in 2015 as well.
It suppose to be at not and
I was also curious about where you found
The gear reduction unit
Mr Joe Ruemenapp The gear reduction unit came off an old german profiling machine we dismantled aat work many years ago
Is the driller still working?
canceRZet Yes, I actually used it today as I made a roundover on 150 feet of seat slats for some adirondack chairs. Works great
Great build!!!
Richard McIntosh Thank you Richard
Do you have any diagrams that you wouldn’t mind sharing? Thank you and great build
Thank you. Unfortunately I have not made plans for this. The gear is a salvaged 25:1 angle gear off a servo motor on an old woodworking machine
Excellent. I especially like the attachment and speed control of the drill motor.
bob Last Thank you. yes it turned out great
Very well done, congratulations!
What is the ratio and the size of the diameter of the wheels?
+Győző Kiss Thank you. The wheels are regular hockey puck size, aprox 80mm diameter. the ratio of the gear reduction is 25:1
Bellevue Woodshop Thank you.
Clever idea, I just got one question: Did you angle the feed rollers inwards to pinch the stock against the outfeed fence to keep it tight against it or does the wheels track in parallel with the fence?
+Morten Mortensen Thanks Morten. Yup, they are slightly angled towards the fence. The angle of attack can be adjusted 5:10 The 2 6mm machine screws on the right side
Ahhh, clever! :-)
How or where did you obtain that gear reduction unit to which the drill is attached?
I salvaged it from an old industrial profiling machine. They used to sit on some servo motors, and they are a 25:1 ratio, to increase the torque of the drill, it would be better to use at least 50:1
Very clever. Well done done.
Mick Doherty Thank you for the kind comment Mick
Those are just insane skills!! Great video!
+All-Pro Quality Garage Doors Inc. Thanks for the kind feedback, It is much appreciated. Glad you like it, and thanks for watching and commenting

Many thanks for the info on the magnifying glass. I just ordered one
Merv Howard You are vey welcome Merv
Perfect!
+Vladimir Evdokimov Thank you, glad you liked it Vladimir
What is the gearbox you are using?
It is a 25:1 angle gear that i salvaged from a servomotor setup on an old wood profiling machine
Thank you
You really come up with cool ideas! Can I assume Bellevue as I Bellevue, WA?
in not I
Thanks Chuck for the kind feedback. Nope, located in the southern part of Norway. The reason for the name is due to Bellevue being the name of the lot where my house sits 😀
This is so cool :)
Michael Pedersen Thank you Michael
Very cool !
Antonio Soares Thank you Antonio
