    This larger die grinder ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxmwiwyX3ADeryrwvcsiwLeKxme6QNQmGL runs very smoothly in use. There's virtually no vibration. Paddle switch with the safety trigger is a bit cumbersome to use, but is much safer. Grinder cannot turn on if set down on the bench.Note that this die grinder, like most others, runs at 25,000 rpm. Always use a face shield and hearing protection. If your grinding stone has any sign of chips or cracks, throw it away. At 25,000 rpm, the stone sees very high G-loads and could come apart explosively if the stone is damaged. Always run the grinder for a short time before using it to check the stone.This tool is heavier than some but very well made.Recommended.

    I am currently "modifying" a winch ready rear bumper on a side by side and had no idea how to do it, I was thinking I would have to take it to a machine shop to have the work done, but your video just showed me how to do it, myself.! I mostly have to make the bolt slots longer on one side to get more distance between the support bars so I can put a 5,000 lb winch in a bumper made for a 3,500 lb winch. Then extend the slot where the cable goes through so I can use a bigger fairlead. I'm subscribing so I can learn more, I'm just starting metal working and have no idea what I need or how do to do what I want to do. Thanks for the video

    Those burrs are also a great way to remove the nitride edge from the inside of a plasma cut hole. So if you plasma cut some bolt holes, then decide you ought to go up a size, a quick pass with the burr will make it drill-friendly again - or you can use the burr for all the enlargement.

    Thanks man, you just solved my problem.
    I'm currently on a project, didn't see the need to waste cash on the burr tool, so I settled for a router (since I already have it).
    So far, it worked (cause I've smoothen over a 100 14mm holes so far) till yesterday when it snapped! God! It got me really frightened and sad, I couldn't go on cause the bit started to wobble (I think I got too comfortable and didn't grip it firmly in place, that's why).
    Straightened the bit but it just snapped again! So far, I think the speed of the router is way too much for the burr. I'm going to get the burr tool after all.
    Thanks again for the video, you just got an extra fan 😊

  • @colinstu

    When I first used these bits and a die grinder, I didn't know how bad the slivers would be. I was doing work underneath my car, no gloves... may hands were absolutely COVERED with them.
    Was able to mostly clean up... one of them however went deep into my skin, and my body formed a capsule around it. That was 2-3 years ago, and actually just recently went to the Dr to get it removed.
    Yeah, don't skimp on the gloves, folks.

    • @MakeEverything

      They are brutal! Sometimes I even wear rubber gloves under my welding gloves if I’m using the small burrs. They produce such a smaller chip and sliver, if feels like fiberglass in your skin, but worse!!

    • @rossilake218
      @rossilake218 3 роки тому +3

      With any kind of sliver (swarf) rub alcohol on the skin, dig it out with a stearyl safety pin. The hole will heal. Most of the time if left in, your body will puss around it and force it out. My 2 pennies.

    Cutting slots is easy with a Bridgeport, but not everybody has a mill. The carbide burrs are a great tool for both those who have and those who don't have a mill, can't throw a huge weldment assembly on a Bridgeport and the mill is too heavy and cumbersome to carry around the shop for quick carving. HAHAHA. I grew up the son and grandson of machinists who owned a successful machine shop, did my fair share too, chip control / evacuation / clean-up / recycling is a major part of the process and can be a literal pain. It's been four years since we sold our shop and I still find an occasional chip in my old work T-shirt pockets. Fine stainless slivers were the worst. Great tips and tricks!

    Holy cow man. I just added new carbide burrs to my shopping cart like an hour ago. Great timing. Glad i didnt instant buy ( I usually wait a few days and add more stuff) because I realized. The set I was planning on getting are too cheap compared to pferd ones. But $120 for those steel burr set only is a bit rich for me, no more than I use them so will try to find a set around 60-80 that will be sufficient.

  • @dwhallon21

    Use them to blend micro undercut on welds where adding more weld would be far too much. Makes painted metal after welding look great. Also running it across before your weld pass can help to expose clean metal to get a smoother arc if your specimen happens to have a ton of rust and mill scale. 👌🏻

    thanks for the great video. i didn't even know about die grinders until one of the stores i called looking for burrs mentioned them but i really can't go out and buy yet one more expensive tool. i was thinking of trying to use the burr in a drill press. connecting 2 drilled holes like you illustrate is exactly what i need to do but i assumed i should use a cylindrical rather than cone-shaped burr so maybe i made a mistake when i bought this more expensive style yesterday. i don't understand why it is better to use the cone but i guess it's so you can enter the predrilled hole from an angle. i'm glad you mentioned Dremel and i may try using that for this project.

    Been using carbide burrs at least 40 years, price is a LOT lower now than it used to be.
    You do know they are available with 6" shanks ? I usually cut them down to around 4" or so as 6" is way longer than I need and more difficult to control at 10,000 rpm.
    As for cutting aluminium, use WD40 or Crisco (Crisco is better than WD40)
    Using an air-line to blow off chips is a real bad idea, it drives them into places they wouldn't normally get, vacuum cleaner is a much better idea (and people throw out vacuum's all the time so it may not actually cost anything other than a few minuted cleaning out blockage in suction pipe - I got an almost new Dyson 'Pet hair' vac that had been thrown away and had a sheet of notepaper stuck in it)
