Belt Grinder Filing Machine - Die Filer!

[@goldfinger490]

Great video! I think it would help to show the SketchUp view at the beginning to make it easier to follow what you're building. Also, you're the perfect maker to sponsor for 3D printing, their loss!

First off, great work. I love it. Keep it up. But for the love of god convince maker KZbin to use low pass filters on audio of their tools. The super high pitches don’t make it better but they do make it nearly impossible to listen though for many. You can kill this useless annoyance with a simple low pass filter set to like 6000hz or something when the dental tool sounds happen. Keep up the great work

hmm, ok, noted

[@keith4788]

you should get a vice that you can clamp the wood into :)

[@AndrewKleinWW]

I should, I should

[@tinom.2455]

Yep, but did you know a company that sells good vises? 😉

Hi andrew, good idea with this die-filer. I also know the problem with the splitting plywood. In my experience there are 4 aspects that affects this: - The plywood itself, is the ply bad, it will split, no matter what you do. But your ply looks high-quality. - The screw. When people don't countersink but use a countersunk-screw. But you did contersink... - The drill or the pilothole. In my opinion, these tapered drills are bad. The hole they create is too tight at the bottom. So tight, the screw will split the ply. Its like there where no hole. Or, if you drill deeper, the hole is still too tight at the bottom and to wide at the top. Since I use straight drills, this is less of a problem. It also helps if you use screws with a drilling tip, even better with a drilling tip and cutting countersunk. These screws still needs pilotholes and countersunks, but if its not perfect, they correct it by itself, at least a bit. - The impact driver. The impact driver forces the screw in the wood, whatever comes. You can't "feel" the wood. And the screwhead is forced in the countersunk, and this is the biggest issue for splitting plywood at the top. I banned all my impact-drivers from my shop. Its a tool for a jobside or for bigger, rougher projects. I use regular drivers. It's also way quieter... I hope someone can pick up something from my experience...

any deflection when you're pressing a workpiece against the file edge?

[@AndrewKleinWW]

None that I can notice

[@jaapvanklaveren6929]

Thanks for your video. Useful machine. cleverly conceived and beautifully executed.

[@chetleonard169]

dip the twist drill, great tip!

[@AndrewKleinWW]

just explain why it took me so long to figure out!

[@chrislarmour]

Damn, that's a lot of metal dust on your band saw!

[@bushman4124]

Men i love your brain, great video as always and those rcrews you made, those micropika or something like that wow!

[@truthbomb4775]

Great job, I wonder how many hours were spent in CAD versus printing and assembling.

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Probably 10 hrs in CAD

[@donrozwick7367]

did you use 3/4 inch plywood?

[@gregmize01]

frickin' wizardry

[@ericmilligan5953]

Are you using standard files for your machine? A regular die filer uses files that cut on the down stroke.

[@AndrewKleinWW]

I have a regular file in there now, seems to work fine

[@MakeStuffwithLittleDevil]

👏👏👏

[@MCsCreations]

Wow! Fantastic work, Andrew! 😮 Wizard! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Thanks as always, you also

[@dpmeyer4867]

cool

[@damianrobinson422]

How much you selling?

[@damianrobinson422]

Shut up and take my money.....please.....hhahahahha.....I want it.

[@damianrobinson422]

Men and tools are like women and shoes.

[@damianrobinson422]

You are brain rich.
