Would you like to see a video showing how to connect the wiper motor (or other similar) to the voltage regulator, limit switches, left-right switch, etc.?🙂
Sweet piece of kit! Usually folks would forego the setup of such a device for the ease of just laying a straight edge as a guide and holding the torch/plasma cutter.
Your layout work is outstanding. It’s easy to drill holes out of alignment if the center punch is off or if the drill wonders off. Your craftsmanship is exceptional because the fabrication is not just functional. You pay attention to detail. You would think that you have made this many times by the way you proceed. As a retired machinist I can appreciate the experience you have that is well rounded. Skilled labor like this is getting harder to come by because of high tech automation. Enjoyed watching.
Yeah it was a bit misleading to say using a wind shield wiper, should have said plasma cutting is easier not cutting metal was easier. I was expecting to see some sort of hand saw being pulled back and forth by a wind shield wiper. Basically just replaced a stepper motor with something a little simpler but ultimately probably the same price considering how cheap a stepper motor is.
This is almost exactly the design I was planning, just with a different motor. I was adapting the linear motor from a treadmill. Thank you for the excellent video!
Close to 50 years ago a neighbor kid built a cutting table with a torch. It had the torch mounted to a hinged arm that would extend to about 4 feet. He used a wiper motor with a reostat driving a drill chuck with a small round magnet in the chuck. The magnet would follow the edge of the metal pattern or whatever you wanted to copy.
That’s very nice. I was expecting something that wasn’t truly worth having. I’m not a fabricator by any means but I’ve used steel clamped down over my marks to guide the tip because I’m not steady. I’ve even used wheel bearings to spin metal in a circle while the nozzle was mounted in a vise to cut circles
Nicely done Derek. It's interesting to see how people have integrated angle grinders, and wiper motors into their designs and builds. Thanks for the new video-I'm looking forward to seeing it in the future, or if there's any design changes after using it for awhile. God bless.
Impressive. At first, I thought the wiper motor was going to drive a power hack saw, and thought it would be under-powered for that. But your cutter makes a cleaner cut than a hacksaw! Well done!
The world is full of some very smart people. You sir, are one of them. It is people like you and I who may help save this world from the human race someday. Keep up the fantastic work!
I have watched your video many times now and can't stop watching it. I love it when a plan comes together and you now have a most useful addition to your tools. This thing can now save you tons of time!!!
Not sure if I see it as a time saver. He has to stand there anyways while it cuts so he actually could've saved more time and money if he made a simple straight edge guide when you consider the time and money invested in this project
Jest wiele filmow na YT prezentujacych wykonanie tego typu przecinarki plazmowej ale Twoje wykonanie jest bezapelacyjnie najlepsze! Estetyka, pulpit sterujacy, elektromagnes... super! Pozdrawiam :-)
Amazing! I loved this video. I have a couple small ideas that might add to the build. 1. A switch that faces down pressing against the work surface that when released (because there is no more material - aka reached the end of the cut) would cut power to the cutter/torch/naughty bit. If you orient the switch in a certain way, it may even be able to facilitate a “reset” function so the head can return to its start position without ripping the switch bit off. 2. Add another AXIS! Would be a big big addition to this thing but you would have a 4axis steel cutting money printer! Ok, this one is a bit more than the “small ideas” but you seem to make small work of big projects! e.x. cutting steel! 3. Drink holder. To hold your drink. Amazing work, subbed! Mas!
We had a Machitech plasma table we could put 3 4 x 8 sheets of steel and aluminum, the controler had pre-installed designs which was convenuent, just walk up to the table pick you design load the measurment in and hit start. What a time saver. Now they cut steel with water, amazing!
I've got a 6 foot 1/2" Acme thread shaft I've been saving for "Something ?". I've found the "Something" ! I've even got a 12v inverter and a wiper motor. I've also got some nice 1/2" stainless angle for slides. This was great, Thanks !!!
Tip: Never use an impact gun to cut threads. Not crappy taps, crappy execution. I’m old school and always manually tap everything, but at most, use a slow-speed power drill on a medium torque setting, and remember to back it out from time to time to remove the cut material from your tap/hole. Slow and steady wins the race my friend. Otherwise, pretty cool setup you made there from junk laying around the shop. Great resourcefulness! 👍🏻
Don't bet on the tap. I just spent a bunch of time in Poland. I went to about a dozen tool stores. 98% of taps and dies that are for sale there are asian made garbage. Same with most of the hand tools. Don't get me wrong, there are some great Polish made tools available. But nowhere as many as were available in the mid 90's when Poland was gaining industry. I myself had some beautiful taps and micrometers made in Poland. All that's left is one 1" micrometer.
Agreed. Easy to shatter even an expensive tap by hammering on it while it's spinning eccentrically through steel. Though those combo drill/tap/countersink bits are laughably bad. You couldn't design a tap more likely to break, even without power tools. Combined with low speed/low torque, a regular tap held high up in the chuck past the squared end will slip nicely when it binds. Not that I haven't been lazy and sloppy a billion times. We all have a mountain of broken taps on our consciences, I'm sure. Not sure I'd keep it in the edit though.
I was thinking the same thing. I’ve seen a lot of guys on videos using a drill to run a tap. I remember what I paid for the damn things and would never even think about putting one in a drill or impact.
@@Tom-hz9oc Exactly. Using the company's tools often has a different protocol than when your using your own tools. How many times have I seen a guy pound something into place using the company's battery drill.
Very clever. It definitely frees up your hands and saves your back. The electromagnet really makes it easy to position and lock without clamps. It's almost like a track saw for steel but even easier to use
I mounted an angle grinder to a linear rail setup. This would be an ideal way of motorizing it. It can make some very straight cuts as is but one has to be very careful with hand pressure when moving the grinder. Generally apply the pressure to the linear bearing. Cool MIP
Seriously great design and idea. If you had an adjustable limit switch, you could make complex cuts by setting the lengths, cutting, then changing the angle, setting the new length, cutting, etc.
Well made tool ! I'd be surprised if there is one similar to this available commercially-for several hundred dollars. But I don't think it would work any better. It certainly makes a fine cut.
Absolutely fantastic job ! many years ago I did something very similar but with a circular saw for cutting plywood sheets. same linear bearings n rods. Thank you for sharing this.
On your final cut your kerf lines (the vertical lines on the edge of the plate) are running away from the direction of travel. Slow your speed slightly to reduce the slag and get a better cut. Kerf lines should be perpendicular to the plates surface when cutting.
the simple is great - I also like the simplicity of non CNC round tube cutting / welding "machines" - being able to set up simply is priceless, of course if CNC is needed a stepper with control module can be integrated *as could a second axis, rinse and repeat. (or make a 2 axis R+P robot - by adding a rotary axis (like a radial arm drill) at the origin - but still able to just drop the whole machine on the workpiece).
This jig makes very pretty cuts. It may not save time when cutting, but it absolutely saves time when smoothing the edge. Very nice idea. Now make a second rail, perpendicular to the first one, hook your pwm to the output of sinus wave generators and make yourself a circle cutter 😊
This is the first video of yours that I've watched. I really like how you showed that sometimes things don't work right and things break, helps to know that this sort of thing doesn't just happen to me!
Fantastic work, dude! Really well done! 😃 A tip about heat shrink: you can force it open a bit with pliers before putting it in place for heating it. This way it expands a bit. I use to do it a lot for XT60s in my rc aircrafts. 😊 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Twoje projekty wymiatają, gratuluję pomysłów i wykonania, czasem jak każdy bym coś zmienił lub zrobił trochę inaczej ale to szczegóły, przy tym projekcie jedynie zamontował bym inne wylaczniki krańcowe, takie z typowej automatyki na "sprężynkach" ale żeby nie było nie czepiam się to tylko moja sugestia:)

Nice build. You just need to write down on the machine the offset distance from the edge of the angle to the plasma cutter, inside and outside measurements, so that you don't forget them and then it will be easier to set up for each cut. Mark from Melbourne Australia
Very nice! My only change would be to have adjustable stops so you can pierce and run the line then stop after x distance based on where the endstop is clamped on. (Keep existing switches, just add additional endstop in series that can be plugged in as needed.
Good idea. A easy add would be to have an adjustable impact switch that a user could slide to the desired position. Or maybe a key pad input of a cut distance but that would take an encoder.
The easy way is a proximity switch fixed with the plasma head facing to working steel plate and he need to put a magnet where he want to stop he could use a red switch but it will not be good as proxy . I think is a nice project
It's a good idea that I had too, but it isn't really necessary! He could start the cut in the middle, for example, and put the end of the cutter close to the edge of the metal sheet!
@@mellis966A keypad could be easy to implement, because knowing the travel speed and the distance it would be only necessary to move the head a certain amount of time! No other hardware needed like encoders! Staying analog without using a microcontroller he could use a mechanical timer and a paper chart with thickness, length and duration calculations!

Videos like this are such BS. It's the ones that show you how you can make a tool cheaper than buying one. Yeh, sure YOU can in your workshop with 100k worth of tools. 🙄 "You too can make a bending brake with just a few scraps steel angle and some simple tools; angle grinder, drill press, welder, 5-axis CNC and a bending brake"
I suppose the title is misleading, but did you really expect to see someone use a wiper motor to cut steel? Since the channel name is Made in Poland, I'm assuming english isn't his first language. When I read the title my thought wasn't, "how is he going to cut steel with a wiper motor?" Instead, thought is he going to control an angle grinder, plasma cutter, or maybe even an oxy acetylene torch.
brilliant idea, as are many of yours. Thank you for the inspiration !.. And yes please, details of the electrics would be great.. particularly the wiring of the microswitches..
Great work. I had a thought when you were setting up the cut. Would a laser sight line be useful or helpful to see where the cut is lined up on your marks?
As an automation student, I found its motors robust, inexpensive in car scrapyards and brilliant. I had lots of ideas for diverted applications And then we actually ended up working with brushless, industrial controllers, Siemens or Schneider PLCs. Goodbye to youthful dreams. Too bad: no more time to have fun. Sniff. 🥰
MIP, been watching ur channel for years. Finally saw ur face. It's great to put a face to this creativity. Really appreciate u and what u share. SUCESS 2 u from Phoenix AZ
Very cool. If you attached the limit switches to the moving part you could then place a mobile block anywhere along the longer if the track to stop the feed.
As someone said NO impact drivers for taps, if you have many holes to tap I suggest you drill the holes 1 size bigger than recommended and use a drill to drive the tap . I also recommend using tapping compound for lubrication NOT oil. If you have many holes you can buy a tapping attachment that fits in a bench drill and you use Spiral Gun taps in once thru you just reverse the handle direction and the tap comes back out. I wouldn’t recommend it for blind holes unless you have had a lot of practice with he attachment. For maximum holding ability use the recommended hole size and use a manual tap , i was taught to go one turn and then reverse the tap and go again this breaks the cutting and generally gives a very good thread and prevents the tap from binding, again use tapping compound.
Speed & Feed....! 😂🤣😂 A favorite saying from one of my old Machine Shop Bosses ! As he would push in to my work area, and take over ! Then wrecking the tooling, only to send me to the tool room, for new tooling ! R.I.P. DNCS Norm
I stopped buying cheap drill bits. This was always happening to me. Actually I started buying top of the line tools and equipment and any other things I may need for any job. Saves you lots of money and time in the long run.
Would you like to see a video showing how to connect the wiper motor (or other similar) to the voltage regulator, limit switches, left-right switch, etc.?🙂
Yep!
Jasne że tak!
Yes bro
Ja, natürlich!
Yes
Im not an engineer, but my Dad was a Tool maker, so I really appreciate the skill and knowledge that has gone into this product.
The limiter switch & the electromagnet foot are the little details that I really appreciate! 👍👍
to really finish it off it needs covers over the rails so the sparks don't pit them and crap doesn't get in the bearings.
Sweet piece of kit! Usually folks would forego the setup of such a device for the ease of just laying a straight edge as a guide and holding the torch/plasma cutter.
LOVE IT, someone made something without costly CNC machines, lathes, mills, etc. My kinda guy

You’ve clearly never seen a any cnc plasma cutting before
@@bighitstepside Absolutely. I seen better.
Stuff like this is why I became a fabricator, you can make anything out of metal with enough imagination and ingenuity!
Designs are always a perfect mix of elegance and practicality. Engineering at its best.
This is almost exactly the design I was planning, just with a different motor. I was adapting the linear motor from a treadmill. Thank you for the excellent video!

One tiny detail when joining timing belts is you can use a short upside down strip of belt to overlap and cog into the two ends.

So simple yet SO HELPFUL!!! I LOVE the stuff you come up with!!!
Exactly how i would build it, too (metalworker/machine builder since 24years). approved 👍👍👍
One useful add on would be a pointer attached to the torch holder at its center line so you could line up on lines drawn or marked on the steel plate
I like this. Simple design. Consistent speed. No GCODE
On your final cut your kerf lines (the vertical lines on the edge of the plate) are running away from the direction of travel. Slow your speed slightly to reduce the slag and get a better cut. Kerf lines should be perpendicular to the plates surface when cutting.

Awesome project seen others build similar but this was best so far, simple and easy to use and takes up very little room!
Perfect cut. I’ll consider making this unit but with one addition. I will mount a line-laser to simplify positioning. Cheers.
Looks handy. Possibly you could make a reference guide with a pivot point. Or with a few set pins, so it’s removable for when you’re cutting.
Very nicely done! Certainly a great asset to any metal fabricator!! Beats a torch any day!
Great work with off-the-shelf parts and great engineering. Thanks and keep posting

Nice design!
Don't blame the taps! If you started by hand or much slower , you might not break as many 😉
man I’ve watched you for years your brilliant thank you.
Nice build. You just need to write down on the machine the offset distance from the edge of the angle to the plasma cutter, inside and outside measurements, so that you don't forget them and then it will be easier to set up for each cut.
Mark from Melbourne Australia
Brilliant! I love putting old things to new uses whenever possible.
Very nice! My only change would be to have adjustable stops so you can pierce and run the line then stop after x distance based on where the endstop is clamped on. (Keep existing switches, just add additional endstop in series that can be plugged in as needed.
Good idea. A easy add would be to have an adjustable impact switch that a user could slide to the desired position. Or maybe a key pad input of a cut distance but that would take an encoder.

Nice idea too !!
As someone said NO impact drivers for taps, if you have many holes to tap I suggest you drill the holes 1 size bigger than recommended and use a drill to drive the tap . I also recommend using tapping compound for lubrication NOT oil.
If you have many holes you can buy a tapping attachment that fits in a bench drill and you use Spiral Gun taps in once thru you just reverse the handle direction and the tap comes back out.
I wouldn’t recommend it for blind holes unless you have had a lot of practice with he attachment.
For maximum holding ability use the recommended hole size and use a manual tap , i was taught to go one turn and then reverse the tap and go again this breaks the cutting and generally gives a very good thread and prevents the tap from binding, again use tapping compound.

A favorite saying from one of my old Machine Shop Bosses !
As he would push in to my work area, and take over !
Then wrecking the tooling, only to send me to the tool room, for new tooling !

I stopped buying cheap drill bits. This was always happening to me. Actually I started buying top of the line tools and equipment and any other things I may need for any job. Saves you lots of money and time in the long run.
Nice and clean, perfectly straight and probably cost 60000 times cheaper than one professionally made thats Usualy riddled with problem's. 👌
I like its simplicity, well thought out design
Oh wow, this was such an interesting video and what a very neat and accurate cut, I love the addition of the electro-magnet. Really great tool
