Please expand on the speed controller. Have same tile saw. Thanks

I love how it looks like it has a little face on the top drawer. Even the dresser is surprised how well he turned out!

you... you can put a 14" blade on there??? And also use it as a grinder??
@WisconsinRocksАй бұрын
Would love to see the parts list. Mostly curious what pulleys you used and what the rpm of the actual barrels ended up at. thanks!
@jacknife10000Ай бұрын
Cant you just use a variable speed controller to plug the motor into? Then you dont have to worry about pulley sizes

thats one of the best controllers for the price

Can you post the link to the speed controller? I just got a Ridgid 10 inch tile saw and it's WAY too fast. I don't want to order the wrong speed controller. Thanx!! Oh, also where did you get that diamond grinding flat lap disk?

I had an "aha" moment watching your video. I couldn't understand why your jars were rotating so slowly, when by my calculations your drive bar is rotating at around 308 rpms? Then it dawned on me you actually have a second pulley system going with the diameter of your drive shaft and the diameter of your mill jar. Now I got it. This is a great build. The incorporation of the motor fan was a great tip. Thanks.

Where did you get the marathon electric motor? I'm looking for one like that.

Interesting video, but I was hoping I would learn the difference between the three types of blades, and I didn't. I wish you would more clearly say what is different between them.

@jamespiper33806 ай бұрын
Dude. Thank you. I had given up on adapting a tile saw to cut slabs. I am picking up my 10" harbor freight saw right now. Same deal, used for one project... $100! I am jumping up and down! I also have a tumbler like yours, using a motor off an old band saw. Thanks for making this video.

use some rubber tubing from the auto parts store for better traction on the shafts.
@wheresthepudding9467 ай бұрын
I might use something like this setup to slow down my current tumbler because its twice as fast as i think it should be in order to get nice results..

Thanks! 👍 My friend has one thats the same dimensions that he got on amazon but the base is stone and the top is leather, made in china. This is just a mock up to approve the design. He has requested much nicer walnut than this, but it wanted to use walnut so he could visualize the end piece as he has select some highly figured claro walnut.

Yes it will.... And it did. It just came off like 2 days later. I found some rubber hose that slid on the 3/4" steel real nice so it now has some thick rubber and it hasnt even started wearing and its been months now.

I’m running one that uses a 1/8hp motor spinning a “40lbs” barrel with a loaded weight of 68.2lbs pulling only 3amp at 22rpm. The FLA is 3.5A. Did I mention the new Dayton TEFC motor runs at 40C… what is your amp draw and motor temp?
@rockhound_and_down8 ай бұрын
I think this motor is 3.2 amp 120v and 1.5 240v. I have outlets for both in my garage so i can use 240v. The temp never gets over 105*F on the hottest part of the motor. The rest of the motor is room temp. I do have a small fan on it but i dont think it needs it at all.

Would making the 12" pulley smaller make it run faster? I'm looking for about 66 RPM...
@8000-f6z10 ай бұрын
If I remember correctly you need the barrels to go something like 33, or 35 rpm, but you should verify that. There is a sweet spot to make them tumble. Too slow, and they slide, and too fast I think they break each other.
@stripedbassnut10 ай бұрын

@dreamlookautodetailingauto335310 ай бұрын
Makes it run slower. Running a little bigger pulley on the motor end will make it run faster. Either or...also, 66 rpms is too fast. Rocks can break.
@rockhound_and_down8 ай бұрын
yes. It would increase the rpm to go to a 8" pulley. These barrels are recommended for 22 rpm which is what the manufacture suggested for this diameter. The smaller barrels do need to go faster. 50 to 60 rpm is what my 3lb harbor freight spins at.

You think 1 hp 1725 rpm motor is to much power?
@ianbottom739611 ай бұрын
If you don’t need the extra power the cost of the power will quickly chew up any savings from not buying a smaller motor
@rockhound_and_down8 ай бұрын
I think the amp draw on a 1hp is too much. Its like 10amps i think. This 1/4hp is 3amps. Much cheaper to run and cheaper to buy. It will easily spin up to 12 of these barrels with zero effort.
