Best way to get the same readings is to set the voltmeter to the off position and your guaranteed to the same readings everytime.

[@Jgoo75]

AvE seems to have more fun and entertains he self a lot more when there’s someone there to interact with. I love it. Not that there’s anything wrong with the solo videos, I love those as well, just a nice way to mix things up.

[@Maleko48]

Where were these videos when I was an operating engineer running a mobile concrete batching plant??! We had to pay ~$10k to have an emergency fix after one of our 50KW inverters went up in flames on the job site. But seriously, this material is gold for the DIY home shop guys. Thank you for making these videos.

[@mikeselectricstuff]

Ferrules are great but dude, get a proper ratchet crimp tool!

[@arduinoversusevil2025]

They're so expensive here that they tend to grow legs...

[@adriandaw3451]

A fitter donated his to me when I was building a kit car 30 years ago... about the only tool I can still find, and it gets used regularly.

[@carlholm7867]

I've always used the cheap ass stamped sheet metal crimp tools for that. Never fucking works and I always blamed the terminals. Then I tried my friends ratcheting one. I promise you that I could hear the angels singing!

[@thomasflynn5366]

Wait. Is Adrian Daw Dewclaw? Do we have our first clue?

[@hgbugalou]

Speaking expensive, I own this Greenlee MK50ML-138 crimper: bit.ly/2BTc8eo Made in Germany and totally worth it if you crimp a lot and value your hands not being sore after work since the wife is out of town this week. There are dies for ferrules, the YBR crimp connectors, molex, 8P8C, RJ11/12, etc etc. A perfect BOLTR opportunity!

Amazed by that white DURA box. Greetings from Germany, where every house has 3-phase-400V.

[@duminicad]

Jakob Schulze seriously? Since when? How?

[@ianhopkins1984]

Most of the world is moving to 3 phase homes, more economical,. Unfortunately most of north America is single phase to screw the population over with high electricity bills. Go figure eh!

[@duminicad]

Ian Hopkins interesting, haven’t heard that in Romania or Hungary, would be cool tho

[@Thompson-from-Finland]

In finland we also have 2 phase every where.

[@ToastbrotRaver]

@@duminicad it's become standard since people started using more electric energy, most stoves run on 3 phase. we have 32 amp CEE outlets in our home shop what for really choochin up the pixies

[@danielm2142]

Everyone else: "this belt grinder runs at a fast enough speed for me" AvE and Dewclaw: *_"GAS GAS GAS!!!"_*

[@tomf3150]

As long as the grindy bits don't get ejected on the rollers it can go faster !

Gotta love how the goofiness knob gets bumped up a knotch or two when buddies are around. And Duke Law, no less? Not bad.

[@coreybuck2908]

I love building these little drive panels for random odds and ends projects at work. Surprisingly capable for such a decent price.

[@jonathanwright5550]

My boss made one to run a welding rig that rotated the pipe while he welded the flange ends on

[@johnpossum556]

It might be set at 400hz because that was a standard avionics frequency. In any case colour me envious of the Grizzly Belt Sander that could easily make a proper hollow ground knife! Those blue belts rock, too. I've used the same one on my 3 by 21 belt sander to sharpen the lawn mower blade for years now. They really last.

[@coliimusic]

I love how AvE introduces Dewclaw in a flurry of insults and then just full-canuckistanian stereotypes out a "howya doin buddy?" in just the most innocent way

[@tomf3150]

Irl Tellarites.

[@HeathHunnicutt]

Measuring big coils with a low voltage DC high impedance transistor radio, it takes a while to charge up the magnetic field in your LR circuit. Equivalent circuit is an inductor series to a resistor, and a voltage source. If you need the coil DC resistance, just clip the meter on it and wait till it finishes revving up the pixie through the loop de loop.

[@compactc9]

So a friend of mine is getting into knife making, and he got a rather large belt grinder, its only a single phase, but its getting a simple VFD (not as fancy as yours) for the purposes of controlling the speed according to what he's doing. Should be fun. Already ran a sub panel to the garage. Lots of electrical going on in my life lately.

[@pncorona]

AvE even flips exactly to the page in the manual like hes read the whole damn thing how much better can he be

[@ziggassedup]

Gotta be worth a box of beers.

[@SIkRiILLeX]

Isn't the drive expecting a 5k pot? I'd reckon that's why a half turn on the 10k would be registered as a full turn/full chooch signal to the drive :)

[@Kregorius]

Those apprentice marks on the high speed wheel are for balance. Happen to have two of same kind of grinders in my shop. The dents in the video are shallow. Some have 2-3 deep drillmarks. By the way this type of grinder has some problems keeping itself straight after some wear and tear. The belt tensioning mechanism inside wears itself out and goes all wobbly. That makes the belt go right and left every time you touch the motor. Got my third belt sander with different belt tension mechanism because of that.

[@quibster]

14:15 It goes full chooch at 12'o'clock because in the manual (pause 10:38) it suggests a 5k analog input and you're using a 10k pot.

[@Danimal100]

doesn`t matter , you droping all voltage across fixed resistance 5k,10k,100k and the wiper does the rest

[@johncox9660]

I liked the speed hole reference from slap shot from way back in 1977 since it was the only part I understood . Thanks for posting .

[@verdatum]

That switch is so sexy. If loving a sexy switch is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

[@nhrifle]

You would take a common shop tool and turn it into a mechanism of mass laceration. My hat is off to you sir.

[@Omnis2]

Lmao, I had some Kronenscourg a few weeks ago as my grocer was practically giving them away. 5:35 it's got that french armpit mustiness.

[@wibbledee]

[@imagineaworld]

Grizzly makes a mini lathe too, really looks like the proper version of the harbor freight/minilathe.

[@videolabguy]

Dude! Did you know Alex Maxey? He worked on the video tape recorder project at Ampex in 1954 to 56. Had a perfectly descriptive, yet absolutely obscene, name for every part of the machine. Would walk into the lab and say things like, "Today, we peel back the foreskin of knowledge and....". I believe I heard you use that term in another video.

[@randymitchell2006]

Nice to see he broke out a real meter.

[@mrmiz2547]

took me 6 months to figure my VFD out. I don't have a DewClaw, just the internets.

[@MaturePatriot]

Were you two in the movie "The Great White North?" Older electronics were heavier built. Yes at 400Hz that belt cover would bing around the shop and make noises like a Chinese name. "I'm given 'er all she's got Captain!" I love it.

[@zukikev]

Leave it run at 400 hz a while and it won't be so cold in the empire.

[@captainjerk]

I knew that copper hammer was sittin' next to the manual for a reason. :D

[@71dembonesTV]

You boys are having way too much fun

[@williecuellar3627]

How long is it going to take to troubleshoot...Wow that is a typical management question thought I was back at work...lol

[@gavster89]

Just make sure you keep the front guard on, I once stepped forward to let someone past and sanded right through my trousers and took half the buttons off my phone in my pocket. Just glad it was my phone and not my pecker! Variable speed is nice though :)

[@coles201]

Very professional setup. I'm very impressed.

[@gnarkill57]

VFD belt sander.....SWEET! Grind everything!!

[@claudyfocan731]

I am in my final year in college as a industrial electromechanic. I finished both my apprenticeships and passed with good grades. First apprenticeship was in a shop that builds, maintains and repairs machinery from large factories. As well as making welded constructions and machining parts on demand. (~80 employees) We were fixing a mold to make concrete slabs, got some reinforcements cut from plating, I was deburring it with a old French (1978) large 3 phase belt sander. Fucker was as tall as I am, had a 30cm wide belt. I was wearing gloves as the parts were large heavy and full of burrs. Suddenly the damn thing grabbed my left glove and I pulled my hand out so fast, I never did anything that fast in my life before lol. It ate the entire finger but the glove got stuck. If you press the emergency stop it just cuts the power 😂 Damn thing sounds like a jet engine being turned off and takes half a minute to come to a full stop. Its fast and efficient but doens’t take prisoners. One of the old timers walked past (had 40y on the job) saw me white faced in front of that machine with the shredded glove. He just said “No gloves around rotating machinery.” And kept walking past casual as ever. That was my first fuckup ever but it will be my last. No more gloves..

[@drasiritzbir]

"Oooh, that is some skunky shit, yeah, i love it!" :-D Instant classic!

[@JohnLee-sm8op]

Just looked up what a Dewclaw is; laughing hysterically.

[@TheFridge]

I still feel sorry for you having to put up with mildly annoyed pixies (110v V's the 220v kind I get here) and not having access to three phase. I can get a three phase hookup to a residential property here in Australia, makes having a home shop so much easier. :)

[@stewie3128]

I’m in the US on my ex-gym 3-phase treadmill at home right now. We can get 3-phase whenever we want, just need to run a circuit.

[@tpcdude]

Love the rock fragments on the motor waiting to leap without warning into the belt and fuck things silly

[@wolfitirol8347]

When I converted my optimum mill to CNC I put the electronics into a self welded Aluminium Box ..when a friend an electrician came by and saw my controller box he made me doing all over again but the proper " don't burn your house down" way ...where have all the good times gone when homestyle was good enough 😂😂😂

[@Hagledesperado]

How long is this gonna take to troubleshoot? Haha, cracked me up.

[@1all1in1one1]

Every drive I have autotuned has spun the motor somewhat during the autotune function. Remember there is more than motor winding resistance at play within a motor. Impedance, reluctance, inertia, back EMF (braking characteristics), saturation time/current, hysteresis. Depending on your drive, the autotune function may be doing a whole lot more learning than you anticipate. It also may be a whole lot more imporant that it may seem.

[@joeteejoetee]

NICE FREAKING BOUND PAPER MANUALS !!!

[@juicedmaster]

I just kept thinking the entire time, that motor and fly wheel would make an awesome electric go kart!

It irks me that wranglerstar is recommended to me under these vidjyeos. Not even a similar quality.

[@matthewmarting3623]

Fuck yeah! I’ve been continually stumped by the dearth of belt grinder related content on this channel. They’re skookum ass tools. Mine is also my lathe and my mill.

[@edwardbadlands8621]

Everyone needs a friend like electricleaux

[@JAxford]

ferrules make me a lot of money. Every year I get given a pile of thermal imaging reports highlighting hot joints that need repairing. 80% of the time it's a ferrule. It's a quick fix just cut the ferrule off and terminate the wire directly in the terminal. They make for a neat job on control wiring but are nothing but trouble on wiring carrying a load.

[@thuzil]

Thanks to you all I can ever see are the flat screw heads all out of kilter.

It looks like you need to install a giant red-and-yellow oh-shit mushroom on that thing, especially for those times when you find yourself "polishing" your purple mushroom with it and accidentally crank the frequency to 400Hz !

The comment about the accurate breath of management condensing down your neck is so right! Are you done yet? What is it? How much longer? What do you think it is? I don't want to be a PITA but how much longer do you think? Anyone I can call? Do you need help? Did you check x,y,z yet? Could this be it? What about the ,,, did you look at that yet?

[@randallslattman3119]

Questions. What size motor is on the sander and what drive are you using? Also how many amps does the drive pull on the incoming power from the breaker box?

[@Miss__Victoria]

About lost my finger to one of those once.... it grabbed my class 4 or whatever protective glove and yanked it right through the guard and spit it back out under the the guard or something somehow. happened to fast to actually see. and yes the guard was probably too far from the wire wheel and I had been working 70+ hours a week 7 days a week for almost a month so I wasnt "all there" lol. fell asleep standing at the bridgeport a few times lol. just standing there drilling and counter sinking holes for days.
