Air Angle Grinder Restoration

[@lorrainewilliams7896]

I am always blown away at how many different parts are inside these things, the tools needed to take them apart, and that you remember how to put them back together again. Me, I would be in deep doo-doo. :-)

[@mikster313]

I swear this channel is just a throw away account for My Mechanics or Restoreit. Take that as a compliment if it isnt!

[@achillejosserand8575]

I worked in a workshop where they had this amazing pneumatic disc sander. Very light, precise and powerful. Awesome tool ! If you can get your hand on one of these, don't think twice ! Much better than even a festool sander. You can hold it in one hand and use it all day long without tiring your wrist. Noisy though ^^

[@dbeckley43]

Really nice job, that tool is so much better than modern ones.

[@diyrestorationclub7534]

Good restoration! ! The glitter of brass has regained its antique beauty. It is also meaningful to show the inside of the air tool. Thank you very much.

[@father6371]

It's videos like yours that make me want to get into restoration projects

[@markharris5771]

I wonder whose brilliant idea it was to stop making tools out of beautiful 100% recyclable metals and make them out of plastics? Another perfect restoration of a tool made to be used. In twenty years time there’s no problem restoring it again. A great video, thank you.

[@forgottentoolsrestoration1786]

Thank you, I was impressed by the quality and precision of the parts, I bought this for 3€, cheaper than the spray paint ! :)

[@AcmeRestorations]

I've never seen any plastic pneumatic tools. Electric tools make sense, since it helps to prevent getting shocked if the tool shorts. Also, complex shapes are much easier to achieve with plastic. The problem now is that the plastic they use is getting cheaper and cheaper.

[@Shamefulbird]

Because plastic is more abordable than steel

[@markharris5771]

ACME Restorations The only tool I have for my compressor without a significant amount of plastic is my air gun.

[@markharris5771]

? ? ? My question was more rhetorical musing on how things that used to be beautiful no longer have that beauty.

[@TheObersalzburg]

You have given that grinder a new life.

[@ATLTraveler]

Holy shit that wrench was HUUUGE, great job mate you have inspired me to do something similar. Although knowing me I would half ass restore it then wouldn't be able to get the thing back together. Sort of story of my life...

[@Miidaguy1]

Have faith in yourself mate.

[@douro20]

I've seen regular hand wrenches bigger than that in a machine shop.

[@vladicb4736]

Ооооо...кайф новый канал где можно позалипать. Ни слов, ни шума, побольше эстетики. И я буду счастлив!

[@colinaskey9777]

A very efficient and effective restoration of a very well made pneumatic angle grinder,will last many many years,well worthy of a 5☆ rating

[@theropesofrenovation9352]

Big nut, big wrench made me laugh. There were a lot more parts than I had imagined! Great job!

[@michelvidal7666]

Parfait !Un bon point pour l'utilisation des outils adaptés (Clé Anglaise, clé à ergots, etc...)Un bon point pour le remplacement de l'embout cannelé par un embout "Staubli"...Belle peinture bleue...Les bémols :Vous auriez pu changer aussi les aubes en céloron...Vous auriez dû enlever les bavures de fonderie bronze...Les restes de rivets POP, ça ne se chasse pas avec un tournevis d'horloger...Perfect ! A good point for the use of suitable tools (wrench, spanner wrench, etc ...) A good point for replacing the fluted tip with a "Staubli" tip ... Beautiful blue paint ... The downsides: You could also have changed the dawns into celoron ... You should have removed the bronze foundry burrs ... POP rivet remains cannot be removed with a watchmaker's screwdriver ...

[@daviddaddy]

At 9:07 the top left rivet hole disappears! Then reappears lol im assuming it was clogged with sanding dust from the bondo lol and then fell out lol looks like magic haha. Wonderful Restoration! You did an Amazing Job!!!! Thanks for sharing.👍👍👍👍

[@daviddaddy]

Lol

[@forgottentoolsrestoration1786]

Thank you ! I didn't notice that haha

[@daviddaddy]

@@forgottentoolsrestoration1786 You're Welcome! Lol yeah surprised me when i saw it on my phone lol.

[@1955harry]

Great job and well done. Greetings from the Netherlands 😀😀👍👍

[@taytase]

Wow, that was great! As a new subscriber, I look forward to seeing many more of your videos.

[@MistaSweeeft7214]

As a new subscriber; this is amazing stuff to see. It gets my mind thinking in so many ways.

[@jefftaylor7511]

Nice restorations. A shielded bearing on the end open to the grinding wheel would have protected the bearing from grit. Beautiful when you finished it. Nice!

[@nullings]

I absolutely love the epoxy resizing trick! Neat!

[@blackraven8805]

Vert good restoration job with the exception of the guard paint job. It's an overkill.

[@КошмарКошмар-й2б]

Hi FST 👋👋👋 good to see you 🤝🤝🤝 very good restoration grinding machine 👍👍👍

[@darioobp]

Awesome restoration, great work, u just got new subscriber. Well done!

[@Brian-vc1oy]

Nice job! You got a new subscriber here! Keep up the good work!!👍👍👍

[@ronaldlapointe1219]

Bravo belle réussite! 👌 et au plaisirs d’en voir d’autres!

[@AZ-cq8qb]

A perfect Bondo busting TOOL. Nice, me like!🛸😎😊👍

[@cathybenson5119]

When you were hammering the guard thing with it on fast forward, sorry I don't really know what it's called, it sounded like a kookaburra starting it's call. Lol.

[@KapsGTA]

Nantes représente ! Les Ets Georges Renault existent toujours d'ailleurs :) Rachetés en 88 par Atlas Copco puis intégré à comme filiale de Chicago Pneumatic au début des années 2000.

[@ankermek]

Well done 👍

[@yeagerxp]

Excellent work👍👍👍 . Thanks for sharing

[@user-jr8gp2en9b]

perfect job, really I like it.

[@stephenruvalcaba4680]

What kinda oil was used to lubricate the motor?

[@stephaniesander5465]

Terrific work!

[@tonyday7233]

Great work, i might have a go at an air die grinder I've got, how did you pick a left hand thread before trying to undo it the normal way?

[@forgottentoolsrestoration1786]

Thank you ! when you can't see the thread, you know it's a left hand thread when it's too late ^^. In this case I spent some time trying to undo it the normal way before understanding it is a left hand thread.

[@My_Op]

Could you repaint the protective shield? Although blue is one of my favorite color, I feel this particular blue doesn't belong here at all. Maybe darker? What was the original one?

[@forgottentoolsrestoration1786]

I think the original was darker, I was expecting a darker blue when I ordered the paint. I plan to repaint this part when I'll do a blue epoxy paint batch :)

[@bradwells8643]

All that matters it last another 60 years

[@fedor5664]

I have the same brake cleaner like the one you used on the guard

[@jordansmith4775]

What’s the brand of the grinder

[@Kamal-zu5od]

Just subscribed good job

[@5xgreentv33]

Do I have a shop vac hooked up to your sandblaster??

[@forgottentoolsrestoration1786]

Yes there is one, with a cyclone :)

[@rudyduarte6160]

What happen to the name plate.

[@trungphamhoang5068]

Nice job! But if u use more time to remove the scratches in metal face, it will perfect! Like new is better!

[@douro20]

The company "Établissements G. Renault" in Nantes is referenced in a 1924 edition of the newsletter "Revue Technica" published by the École Centrale de Lyon. A PDF of the newsletter is available; it has some nice vintage advertisements in it: histoire.ec-lyon.fr/docannexe/file/1531/te1924_196.pdf

[@patrickstoquert1637]

Super travail

[@donotfreeze]

You shouldn't just hammer in that bearing, heat it up and press in is a correct way.

[@n8er_tater]

I actually said aloud "holy shit, that's a big ass wench!"

[@forgottentoolsrestoration1786]

Sometimes you have work with what you've got haha

[@claudiomoreto4562]

VERY GOOD (MUITO BOM) 👍👏👏👏👋👋

[@renedufaux6141]

super travail pour une meuleuse qui va tous nous enterrer

[@JasonLLC]

great vid

[@timsmith1589]

Very nice

[@yvardeboer9431]

Are you from the Netherlands ?

[@forgottentoolsrestoration1786]

Hi, France :)

[@yvardeboer9431]

Forgotten Tools Restoration oh because that brake cleaner was in dutch so I thought

[@Yfyfy_Tcyfyc]

Super!

[@Tyranzor64]

Big nut, big wrench. Fuck it, can't fault that logic

[@berrivv870]

Are you Dutch?

[@forgottentoolsrestoration1786]

French :)

[@berrivv870]

I didn't know that there is a action in France. Because you have brake cleaner from the action.

[@forgottentoolsrestoration1786]

Exactly ! I bought it there, ~2€ per can here, I always empty the stock of brake cleaner :)

[@My_Op]

berri vv Action bestaat al 10 jaar in België en een aantal jaren in Frankrijk ook / Action existe déjà depuis 10 ans en Belgique et depuis quelques années en France aussi ;-)

[@My_Op]

Forgotten Tools Restoration Ah, un Français! J'aurais dû poser ma question en français - à propos de repeindre le protecteur - si j'avais su, ça aurait été plus rigolo :-D

[@haroldarellano5592]

Aparte de algunos malos procedimientos, demasiado lubricante al rodamiento y cero dextresa con el teflón.

[@zx6rkilla196]

They just don’t makem like they used too

[@Rolo-Tony]

You just wanted a reason to use that big ass wrench

[@jige8191]

Je ne comprendrai jamais l'emploi de mastic de carrosserie sur un outil. Un jour quelqu'un en mettra sur un marteau...

[@SignumHero]

А почему восстановление? Это просто обслуживание.

[@АндрейГорохов-и6ф]

Будьте снисходительны к переводу.

[@sergunya1979]

I'd never approve usage any tools in not appropriate purpose, sorry.

[@JRBUISEXCAVATING]

Where did you get the vanes from? I have a dozen pneumatic tools I need to rebuild and the manufacture has stopped producing parts.

[@forgottentoolsrestoration1786]

I bought the quick connect coupling from Amazon, only other parts changed were bearings and o-rings

[@fedor5664]

I have the same brake cleaner like the one you used on the guard
