Hey guys. This is the 19th episode of this series. All other episodes are linked in the video description right under the video. In case you want to help with a donation, here are two ways to do that: patreon.com/tpai paypal-donations: inventordonations@gmail.com
Please put the names of the repaired goods into the description so other people trying to repair them can find your video and fix similar problems on those machines! :)
3:01 oh god you found the arm breaker! There is a higher chance that that drill will break your wrist/arm than to kill you by electricity ! Those drills are so powerfull that they can swing a grown man.If i havent seen it i wouldnt beleave it .In a shipyard a 2 men were drilling a ships deck made of stainless steel sheet metal ,it was 10mm thick but the drill was 30mm.Now they did drill the pilot hole and they did go 25mm then 30.But something happened and drill got jammed and drill knocked guy that was holding it on the floor.Nothing bad happend to him ,nothing was broken except the pride ,but after that they used 2m long pipe to hold it. The reason why they convinently put 3/4 NPT water pipe is so ,you can go to a hardware store and buy any length you want.Whatever you do BE CAREFULL with drills like those. Also building a drill stand ,simple out of U channel or square tubing would be a great idea,those things have more power than any cheapo drill press.Wish i had one of those...
FWIW, if you want to use LED for task lights, it *REALLY* pays off to spend a little more and get high CRI LEDs for light that is close to sunlight in quality. I used the ones that are in the DIY Perks lighting tutorial videos and will never buy any other strips again!
If you get a piece of polarizing film out of a dead LCD screen and put part of it on the magnifier and part over the LEDs--turning one 90 degrees--you won't have to worry about glare anymore. (I used this idea with my camera lens and flash to take straight-on pictures of an aquarium. There was *plenty* of light, but no reflection off of the glass.)
Just as a safety reminder the left thread nut must be on the left side so your rotor is probably flipped arround. This way the wheel can loosen itself.
@@philippsaure7545 - not sure if those magnets would be strong enough. I'd imagine some neodymium magnets arranged in some sort of lever arrangement inside a fabricated base would work?
Hallo from Connecticut! Bridgeport is a post-industrial city in a rough spot since most manufacturers left, sometimes it already feel post-apocalyptic there. Very funny to see a Bridgeport part with Ein/Aus written on it!
Do make a video of different applications of the TL494! As a software person, it is always interesting to see how software can be replaced with hardware.
I love your opening philisophical musings. Its unlikely that the bulk of the "throw away society" will ever even watch these videos, but you'll probably convert some of the people who are curious but are afraid they don't have the skills. Keep up the good work, very entertaining and well paced.
I was born in Bridgeport ct and almost dropped when I heard you mention it. We called it Bridgepit lololol. It use to be a nice port city but in recent years, I've heard it run down.
One thing I appreciate about these videos, is that unlike AvE, there's no yells about "Focus you F**K!" because he knows how to manually focus on a close up object :)
Thanks for taking the time to make this and to considerately place the advertisements. It really enhanced the video. Weird that so many other people just stick them in just any old where or don’t think about where they show up - it can really break up the flow of an otherwise nicely produced video. Greetings from Norfolk, UK
A neat option for a grinder that has parts missing on one side, is to fit a tapered spindle adapter ("pigtail") over the existing spindle, and fit polishing mops for metal.
The Fein drill reminded me of an old vintage Bosch GD25 I rescued recently, no clutch, no soft start, but bags of torque and easily rips itself out of your hands if you're not careful. The first replacement power cable I put on was trashed on its first big job, I've since added another handle on the top where it would've had one originally and treat it with a bit more respect!
Be careful with those big drills! My dad used to use one to bore big holes out of big oak beams in old buildings for restoration work, he said that one time the drill caught in the hole and the second handle came round and knocked him out cold!
Love that old grinder restoration. I scored one from my local scrap yard in great condition and made a stand for it from other scrap. Now I just have to extract the big lathe sitting in the junk. I don't like my chances !
Thanks for the video - I really enjoyed it. A word of warning about the big drill. Be very careful of getting your head in the way of those handles - if the bit jams the drill will rotate and do you some serious damage - I speak from painful experience!
Me too gained some experience by a sudden increase of moment in a handle towards my head. Thankfully I wore ear protection so there have been some major dumpening. Was quite a lesson though. Some newton-metre are simply irresistible.
I agree with your "get out of the skip" message, I once was walking up to one, about to launch a fairly heavy 240V motor in, but just caught the edge of something moving. Thee was a twit in there and I was about to brain him.
As far as electrics inside a steel tube is concerned Plast-Dip is a very easy way of ensuring that every conductive surface is completely insulated and it actually have a very good electrical insulation rating and it is one of it's intended uses(it gets harder with age so the first week+after applying it will be more delicate and not at full strength).
I'm someone who is very ignorant about mechanical and electrical engineering, it always amazes me how you can explain things in a second language than many can in their first. I could do with that magnifier to read instructions that always seem to be in 6 point text these days.
Hello, I enjoyed your video. I have a comment about the switch for your magnifier lamp. The old switch is totally usable for an on-off application. Those old switches have an "extra" position if you hold down the "on" button to connect the "lamp starter" to the cathodes for pre-heating. If you remove the old wiring, it may be wired to function as on-off. I did this for a florescent to led modification on my desk lamp and there is no issues.
I had a florescent desk lamp with a switch that worked like that as well. I think it operates that way because of the strike/run properties of florescent lamps.
The Fein drill is great! Somewhere i saw a video where a DIY magnetic-drill-stand was build for a drill. I think, that would suit this really powerful Fein drill perfectly well! How about building one from salvaged parts? I would love to see this on your channel! Your videos are great - keep going!
This is so cool. I hate that the scrapyards in my area will not sell anything to regular people. They cut up whatever comes in and sell it by the train car load. I would pay more per pound and they would not have to cut it up. Oh well, I can enjoy your videos. Glad to see all this great equipment getting saved.
In power stations and large turbines the couplings have massive expanding bolts 4-5" and the couplings cant be removed. So with these 2 handed "hoaning drills" are used for hand hoaning on these
Hey that drill is similar to one i used as a young fitter in about 1974 we used it to drill up 1"-25mm dia holes but we fitted a 3/4" BSP [british standard pipe] pipe with about 800mm in length to stop the drill from turning when it dug in. It was a beast which took two men to operate one on the drill and one to hold the end of the pipe . I Am 68 now and use a limpet or Mag drill now , which is a lot less dangeruss.

I find your videos hugely satisfying to watch. I'm always in owe of your skills, if only I had 10th of your skill and knowledge. Sending you my thanks from the UK, absolutely love you're repair-a-thon videos 🇬🇧👌
Thank you for your help ! Here is a tip to help you The #1 penetrating fluid "U.L." 50% acetone 50% A.T.F. automatic transmission fluid. Tested by United lab's. Hope it's helps I personally hate the spray cans that fail when you need them most find a hand spray bottle of good quality to use it with
Hehe, we have a similar drill around here (and I inherited one from my father), called ИЭ-1023 - it uses morse taper 1, I believe, and it's known under the name "helicopter" - because if the drill binds, you become the propeller :-D
Awesome as always! The intros really set the stage and get's me in the right mood. Sure, circuits are useful and educational if explained so that a normal person with intermediate electronics skills can understand.
The LEDs were soft white, with any utilitarian use it’s better to have cool white. Also PWM interrupts current meaning flickers light. When working on any spinning items it may cause strobe effect, also may interfere with light sensors and causes radio frequency interference.
Sorry to be tardy for this party. I just ran into this particular video. I'm from Connecticut, As a matter of fact I can be close to Bridgeport, Pratt and Whitney, Colts Firearms and Raytheon, which used to be United Technologies. Hello from the USA!
If that drill jams in a hole a sudden gross rotational movement can be detected and drill electronically braked so that you do not become the post apocalyptic whirley man
I love this stuff. I wish there were scrap yards like that here. I’m sure there are places to sell off metal scrap, but it’s doubtful anyone here would want to buy scrap itself. They probably just immediately melt everything down
I've discretely scavenged replacement parts for appliances at the local recycling plant. The employees are staged where the good stuff worth restoring is, so the appliance area is not as closely monitored.
Be careful with that Drill, you can hurt yourself really easy, if possible try to make the switch in such a way that you let go if the drill gets stuck
You have no idea how much I envy your ability to go to a scrapyard and buy stuff. In Sweden it is impossible to get access to those places anymore, unless you know someone who owns/works there. I will soon move to Berlin and I have yet to find a scrapyard there either, that allows me to go in and pick things out. Got any suggestions?
Here in the US, once scrap is dropped off, dont dare pick through it. (At least in most places near me.) Its a shame. We do have one yard that will sell parts.
got to be careful prototyping stuff like that if it catches on you might find yourself with a job. Great work always a pleasure to watch you on the lathe.
Just wrap a chain around the power drill and the thing that you're drilling into. As you turn the power drill, the chain will push the drill against the workpiece with a great force.
@The Post Apocalyptic Inventor I really enjoy your channel. I'm glad you can talk about fractional inch measurements without a "Metric is superior" attitude. I can go back and forth between standards and I'm pleased to see you do it too. I'm aware that Germany has a very good technical school system. Are you a product of that or are you mostly self taught?
I have a corner of my work table is a 70s small drill press. Having that extra bit of stability helps. But it would be an improvement to add speed control, in this case in the AC plug, probably no room for anything else inside the drill.Even then, better than many modern equivalents.
Fluorescent might've been better for the lamp, if you plan on filming with the dimmed light. But fluorescent has its own problems, mainly a ton of audio and EMF noise.
Didn't you use big paper washers between the grinding wheel and the metal discs? I always heard those are very important. A soft kind of cardboard is needed to spread the pressure otherwise the disc can shatter. Kind regards from the Netherlands!
I would love to see a video on that 12v led dimmer that you built with some greater explanation. Or maybe a point in the right direction to learn about it?
You are so lucky you can actually pick stuff from a junkyard - not possible in most of North America. There are lots of fully working machines worth 1000s being thrown out daily. Heck in Alberta where I live large fully working and in like new condition 100hp electric motors are scrapped.
Excellent video. I particularly enjoyed the segment on the Fein drill. I have a Fein device that is designed as a tap threader with an automatic reverse. The jaws of the chuck are damaged and I have not figured out exactly what is causing the problem. I would like to use it as a heavy duty drill. It is easy to see the quality of these Fein tools (pun intended). Bob
I'm a little concerned about the heat dissipation in the Triac, the heatsink attached was way too small and vacuum cleaners are rated for much less power than that drill machine. Maybe needs a bigger heatsink or even better would be to use the metal surface as a heatsink if you can find an insulated body triac.
Yes go full stream ahead, you are saving power tools all around the world now by training other tinkers and yes more please on the electrical side as well
Got to say very upsetting seeing you Beautiful black lab Lily I lost my black lab shadow just over two months ago she was my Little soul mate she would of been 12 on the 19th of December which also happens to be my birthday Stay safe my friend
Tip do not use that big drill with the handles In lever whith your face If the drill bit i strong enough when it jams ; and do not not break ;You risk Hand arm face damage. Those types are used for timber house construction boring "2 holes for wodden dowels. Sometimes they have specially made brackets to take the force if the drill bit jams. That's because can get thrown of the working platforms otherwise. You have the drill near you and you hold it in a very ferm grip when drilling. It may twist your arms otherwise, even when nothing goes Wrong. Typical good use is boring hole in workpiece you can stand on yourself . Make a" stopper bar " to go where that that dovetail where. Seem a waste to build a drill press whith it. Very nice idea To add speed controller. Often those heavy drills lack that.
Hi. Well, I would definitely like you to keep going with these videos. I love them. I also would love to know more about electronics. Your English is absolutely superb and I think you have a great teaching ability. Maybe a course of 'lessons' at getting started in: a) general electronics b) microprocessors c) motor basics (which I know you have already covered a fair bit) d) a topic of your choice Regards Mark in the UK p.s. your write up the other day on FB showed your amazing understanding and use of English. It is a real credit to you
Dear thecorbies What is his English? You can't be serious at all! Nevertheless: This guy is a genius when it comes to electronics and repairs in general. Best regards, luck, health and wisdom.

Word to the wise, when drilling large diameters, drill a pilot hole first at least the size of the larger bit's chisel point....
Nah just find the torquiest drill you've got and hold 'er one handed like it's a kill shot.
@@ayitsyaboi That only works if you also hold it sideways like a gangsta and scream the magic words "straight outta Compton"
Instead of another drill press, you could use this big Fein drill to build a mag-drill. Cool idea, ha?
Had the same suggestion. Could make for an awesome Video.
Maybe with Microwave Transformers for the magnets.
@@philippsaure7545 - not sure if those magnets would be strong enough. I'd imagine some neodymium magnets arranged in some sort of lever arrangement inside a fabricated base would work?
@@samvalentine3206 Right, similar to how magnetic base (e.g. for dial indicator holder) works.
Similar to: ua-cam.com/video/n9tZIFfM14o/v-deo.html
@@samvalentine3206 You are most likely right. Maybe such a configuration could even save some space and increase the usability of such a device.
Think that's a bit of a heavyweight
Hallo from Connecticut! Bridgeport is a post-industrial city in a rough spot since most manufacturers left, sometimes it already feel post-apocalyptic there. Very funny to see a Bridgeport part with Ein/Aus written on it!
Adding the handle and speed controller to that old drill was really cool. What a great way to resurrect an old tool.
Man your intro to the foundational principles behind these videos is excellent.
Do make a video of different applications of the TL494! As a software person, it is always interesting to see how software can be replaced with hardware.

I wish my local scrapyard had such good things. All they have is broken parts of cars built not to last, and plastic junk.
One thing I appreciate about these videos, is that unlike AvE, there's no yells about "Focus you F**K!" because he knows how to manually focus on a close up object :)
My favorite series on UA-cam. Keep it up, sir. Much respect from Palm Beach Florida
That Fein drill is a beast of a drill! And the desk lamp is beautiful.

When I was a apprentice pipe fitter we used a GF threading machine. I still remember how hard it was to thread two inch steel pipe.
Elegant work on the drill restoration/motor controller and PWM-controlled dimmer, and the grinder!
Yes, go full speed ahead on more of this!!!!
Instead of building a drill stand, you could also just mount that vise at about knee-hight, and then have a much better drilling experience.
Love that old grinder restoration. I scored one from my local scrap yard in great condition and made a stand for it from other scrap. Now I just have to extract the big lathe sitting in the junk. I don't like my chances !
Just wanted to say thank you for your wonderful videos. I also love to repair things. I hope you have a wonderful person.
It's always a pleasure, to watch a Craftsman at work!

I love what you said about the learning process from these projects in the opening.
Dang what fun.. I wish I had a scrap yard close to me.. Little towns seem to farm out there scrap to the bigger places I guess.. Carry on!
I'm someone who is very ignorant about mechanical and electrical engineering, it always amazes me how you can explain things in a second language than many can in their first.

Perhaps set it up for mixing plaster or some similar material. Often these are set up with powerful magnetic stands for drilling holes in beams etc.
Please Yes! Definitely want more info about the many applications using the TL494.
Fantastic content. Thank you for saving these treasures from the dump!
If you are mounting a grinding wheel you should use a paper spacer to avoid wheel cracking!
Always facinating and pleasure to watch.

Although I have only seen a few of you videos, I really enjoy them and learn something new with each episode. Please keep up your videos.
The LEDs were soft white, with any utilitarian use it’s better to have cool white.
Also PWM interrupts current meaning flickers light. When working on any spinning items it may cause strobe effect, also may interfere with light sensors and causes radio frequency interference.
Love these, dude, always such a treat to see them in my subscription feed. Liebe Grüße aus Irland x

If that drill jams in a hole a sudden gross rotational movement can be detected and drill electronically braked so that you do not become the post apocalyptic whirley man
fantastic videos - thank you. Germany (and Switzerland) have an incredible history in tool making.
Subbed for the awesomeness, and the lesson on the TL494!

Awsome!!! I'm so happy this mornin!!!!!
I wish we has scrap yards we could rummage thru here in the usa...they don't like you to scavenge used stuff

Make sure you ring grinding wheels. Hold them on a screwdriver in shaft hole. And tap the wheel. If it does not ring. The wheel is cracked.
Hello from Bridgeport Ct. That big drill would make a good magnetic drill.
got to be careful prototyping stuff like that if it catches on you might find yourself with a job. Great work always a pleasure to watch you on the lathe.
It is amazing to me what people will throw away.
Would love to see a video on building the drill press
Should add a relay to that lamp so the buttons work.
Just wrap a chain around the power drill and the thing that you're drilling into. As you turn the power drill, the chain will push the drill against the workpiece with a great force.
Awesome channel. Keep it up. I really enjoy these videos

Tip do not use that big drill with the handles In lever whith your face If the drill bit i strong enough when it jams ; and do not not break ;You risk
Hand arm face damage.
Those types are used for timber house construction boring "2 holes for wodden dowels. Sometimes they have specially made brackets to take the force if the drill bit jams.
That's because can get thrown of the working platforms otherwise.
You have the drill near you and you hold it in a very ferm grip when drilling. It may twist your arms otherwise, even when nothing goes
Wrong. Typical good use is boring hole in workpiece you can stand on yourself . Make a" stopper bar " to go where that that dovetail where.
Seem a waste to build a drill press whith it. Very nice idea To add speed controller. Often those heavy drills lack that.
Hello from Bridgeport!
Hi. Well, I would definitely like you to keep going with these videos. I love them.
I also would love to know more about electronics.
Your English is absolutely superb and I think you have a great teaching ability.
Maybe a course of 'lessons' at getting started in:
a) general electronics
b) microprocessors
c) motor basics (which I know you have already covered a fair bit)
d) a topic of your choice
Regards Mark in the UK
p.s. your write up the other day on FB showed your amazing understanding and use of English. It is a real credit to you
Dear thecorbies
What is his English? You can't be serious at all! Nevertheless: This guy is a genius when it comes to electronics and repairs in general.
Best regards, luck, health and wisdom.
