    I had a lot of old pipes and rebar to cut up and from what I read ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxPDBfLu68o58Aw85O_J-zIFfjJARBhp-3 this would be the tool for the job. Since I had never used one, I watched a couple of youtube videos and I'm so glad I did. Some really good safety tips, which I followed, and this tool did a splendid job. One good thing to know is the weight of the tool puts just about the right amount of pressure on the metal I was cutting, so I didn't have to use a lot of pressure, which is more likely to jam the tool. It made fast work of my job.

      Absolutely, I was going to try cutting my hair with it but then came to my senses :-)

    I saw a clip the other day where a guy grinds bolt heads to fit 14° dovetail slots. This clamp idea could be a good start towards a jig for that. What caught my ey here was the tile in the vise. I have a cross vise, so all this has got me pondering what I guess you'd call a grinding mill.
    Good tip on the card spacer for the sugru, and a stable effective build. Nice one.

    Cool thanks! I am making one to cut plane blades so you have given me some ideas.

      HaHa, I probably jumped when it happened. I learned something with that one.

    You know a forstner bit leaves a flat bottom hole except for a little dimple in the exact middle. That dimple works great as a marker if you want to drill a deeper, smaller diameter hole with the same center. Jim Y

    i would like to know what that tool is u are putting in the screws with please

    • @RandomSmith
      @RandomSmith  7 років тому

      Its called an impact driver and generally makes it easier to get screws in because it has more torque and the driver doesn't jump out of the screw hole as much. But it is a lot noisier than a normal screw driver. The particular one I was using was - www.bosch-pt.com.au/au/en/cordless-impact-driver-gdr-18-v-ec-131420-0615990g83.html. I only found out about them when I got that one and didn't know what I was missing... (but definitely not essential to have one over a normal type driver)

    • @thediscoman2001
      @thediscoman2001 7 років тому

      thanks for that never seen anything like it before i use impact bits but nothing like that

    • @thediscoman2001
      @thediscoman2001 7 років тому

      i didnt mean the machine its the thing u put the screws in with the yellow bit in the end of the impact driver

      It would be the equivalent of one of these, it's a magnetic sleeve that fits on the end of a screwdriver bit - toolguyd.com/dewalt-flextorq-magnetic-sleeve-review/
      Mine was a plastic one that came in a set like this one - www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DWA2SLS30-MAXFIT-30-Piece-Sleeve/dp/B00KW1ZRZ0/ref=sr_1_13?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1509969968&sr=1-13&keywords=dewalt+magnetic

    Seria bom se desse para regular a altura!

    • @RandomSmith
      @RandomSmith  7 років тому

      seria ótimo, eu tenho que apertar o material na altura correta em uma plataforma que leva tempo "it would be great, I have to clamp the material at the correct height on a platform which takes time"

    Using the putty was a good idea, but couldnt you just have used some leather, or rubber?

    • @DavidXSmith
      @DavidXSmith 7 років тому

      Brad Sampson, yes any material that would hold it in place could be used. I used the sugru/putty stuff because i had it available and it would give me a mounded shape with constant pressure/grip but definitely not required

    What's sugurey? Do you Speak Japanese?

    • @RandomSmith
      @RandomSmith  5 років тому

      Sugru is a sort of silicone putty that is like a mouldable flexible glue. sugru.com/about. I have started to see clones of this glue, so you might be able to get one of those cheaper than sugru. I'd like to be able to speak Japanese, but can't. I am from Scotland and speak English with a Scottish accent.

      I agree. too complex solution for easy work.

    • @RandomSmith
      @RandomSmith  7 років тому

      I used it to create a non linear cutout (rectangular + l-shaped cutouts) , something that was too hard for me while hand holding the angle grinder.

      Yes, I would agree an angle grinder would be overkill for a thin tile like in the video you posted and for doing straight cuts, you would be better hiring a tile score cutter for straight cuts (which is what i did). I was attempting to cut 10mm thick porcelain tiles without straight cuts - I was doing an L-Cut and a socket cutout with it. The main reason I built it was not for cutting tiles, but for cutting metal.
