[@THCBLADEWORKS]

Not witchcraft. The threads on the left side of a bench grinder are reverse. when you used the impact gun on the wire wheel the mass of the grinding wheel wanted to stay still and the friction between it and the nut and washer was enough to loosen the nut when the torque hit the shaft. The threads are reversed on the left side so they will self tighten. That is why the problem resolved itself when you turned the motor on.

[@fasousa4798]

My thoughts exactly. Who ever wired a 3 phase grinder wrong knew that right away when in the best case scenario had to retighten the nuts rather than pickup grinding wheel pieces from the floor

[@bigguns45acp]

Beat me to it BladeWorks.

[@AN-kg4ei]

​@@Dangerpurple I was in the same relationship from 21 until 32 years , married for two. She was a good person and I may be exaggerating. For some reasons, marriage changed things. I'm just glad we didn't have kids to put through that. I had immediately jumped into another relationship for four years, bought a house, got engaged, she comes home and doesn't think she loves me anymore. Oh well. Single for the first time in my life for the past few years has helped me break out of autopilot mode. I'm glad for you though. Some marriages just work out better than others.

I'd say drill press. The main things people will be doing is cutting a material or putting holes in a material. you have the vice to secure the item to cut, you have the grinder to clean up the things you cut so logically the only thing left is to put holes in things. Yes you can use a hand held drill but a drill press is so much easier to use over all. or a big old box of loctite and hair pieces

[@csimeonides]

A drill pres is the third item needed as a minimum of three items for a small shop. By way, HF offers the same grinder but with shields for 19.00 USD cheaper. love your videos. I don't comment much on any of them because they are good. Thanks for the good videos.

[@buckyflex1]

I said anvil but drill press is prob it

[@unknownhomesteader318]

My first cheap bench grinder was a dual shaft motor from an old washing machine and two arbor adapters from Sears. No switch, just a plug in power cord. No tool rest or shields, just open grind rock and wire brush. I used that grinder for years, until I could afford a store bought one. I leader end safety and how to make things work the hard way. A lot has changed since those days.

[@austinlane5533]

Funny I see this comment. Me and my father did the same thing last year to clean some large bolts and sharpen chisels. At the time it seemed perfect, but when I finally got a real grinder I quickly realized the danger I was playing with when using that ole washer motor. No guards, no lights, no covers. BUT, you can't beat those old days with your pops in the garage making things. Wouldn't trade those days for anything in this life.

@@AS-ug2vq I have a baldor 7" grinder that I think is either 1/2 or 2/3hp and 3 phase. It was left in a business suite that I cleaned out and rehabbed after the tenant was evicted. Luckily, I took it and figured out what a variable frequency drive is and spent $150 to get a $700 grinder going. It is a great size for a home shop or small business and it is very powerful and smooth as silk. I figured it was broken when I saw they left it behind, but it turns out it was 3 phase, so maybe they thought it was only good in a commercial shop. The 120v version looks like it only pulls 4 amps which is 480 watts.

[@brianmaddy6713]

The left wheel on the Baldor needs to be dressed with a wheel dresser. Instead of wearing gloves to prevent burning your hands when grinding, use vice-grips or pliers. The wheel can catch the glove and draw your hand or fingers into the grinder. You should replace the wheels when the wheel when it is approximately one-half the original diameter of the wheel. Keep the same face on the wheel as when it was original. Wearing the wheel unevenly can cause it to be unbalanced and disintegrate. Thanks for the tip on the Mora Chisel Knife.

[@jonathanbetenbender307]

I don't wear gloves with anything that spins; also on a table/circular saw you can feel when something is going wrong (something in the wood. pinching etc).. your literally cutting off a sense when you wear gloves. Also safety glasses always fog up, I've got a pair of goggles that fair well... point is I'm all about the face shield, if it's glasses I'll end up going without (I'm gonna get a face shield that's a bit more robust). Wanna get a leather apron eventually too (have a canvas one atm).

[@stonetoolcompany3649]

Let me point out a couple of things: What happened when you impacted the wire wheel on, was that you loosened the nut on the opposite side. There is a left and a right hand thread so tightening one side with impact will loosen the other. The direction of the thread on either side results in rotation tightening the nut.... or rather it is to prevent rotation from loosening the nut. Any grinder will to this... but the very low inertial mass makes it more likely with the little one. Second. the printed horsepower rating means nothing at all on modern motors. To know the relative power you look at amps. They lie about horsepower on almost everything. A drill press of course is the next indispensable tool.... I own a floor stand drill press, two electromagnetic drill presses, and a light weight drill press stand that will take a half inch cordless or corded drill..................... I rarely use the latter, and use the floor stand drill virtually every day. I use hand held grinders far more than a bench grinder...

[@David-hm9ic]

Yes! My 4 HP Craftsman air compressor has a 15 amp GE motor in it. GE, for obvious reasons, does not have the horsepower on the motor. I would believe the rating of a Baldor motor but not the HP rating of most electric tools. Fifteen amps at 115 VAC will get you 2.3 HP no matter how it's calculated.

I feel like the entire beginning of these videos is him trying to justify his more expensive purchase on the "better" tools until he tests them. 90% of people watching these videos are people who don't need the best of anything so we're watching to see if the cheap one is good enough lol

[@johnieblaze4079]

Drill press ofcourse! Cannot go without! Would be nice to test these Drill jigs that hold drills upright, and definetely not the cheapest once (they will break just by looking at them) but the more pro stuff, really intrested if they would work

I was taught to not use gloves when working with spinning tools. We had a guy in the shop lose some fingers because the wheel grabbed his glove.

[@fsmoura]

Dang! Scary!

[@daftnord4957]

If the piece im holding it too hot i just hold it with vice grips. No gloves

[@imchris5000]

thats why you dont put your fingers in the wheel it will do even worse to skin also if you wear proper fitting smooth leather gloves you wont have the issue of them getting grabbed

[@user-dn6qy1ou1f]

No joke. I say one of of ex's get her finger sucked in a disk sander from wearing gloves. Took all the skin off her finger. It wasn't very good

[@NWrunner2011]

keep the gap between your wheel and your rest less than 1/16 of an inch and you will be okay.

[@magicaljake]

ive been a big fan of the channel for a long time now.. been tooling up my personal shop as of late. I find it amazingly funny how i have purchased the same press and bench grinder combo. Also went through the same struggles mounting the same wire wheel to the bench grinder. It all worked out in the end.

About 15 years ago, I bought a brand new Baldor 8-inch grinder that can turn a battleship into a pile of powdered iron in about 30 minutes. It's probably one of the most versatile tools to have around...often just for fun. Metal grinding is a great skill to perfect, and I'm still learning. I also modified a Delta floor stand drill press to be heavier duty by swapping out the cheap Chinese coffee can motor for a 2-1/2 horsepower Baldor pump-house motor. I can drill through damn near anything now without the slightest drag on the torque. Amazing mod! As to that third tool you wanted us to guess...I'm gonna say an anvil...

[@kkane97]

Maybe the space should have gone on the outside of the washer so both large ends of the washer make contact with the wire wheel

[@sgtgrumpy13]

My Papaw had a round grinding stone about 14" . You had to sit and peddle to turn the wheel . Old school lol .

[@fredmertz1312]

On my bench I added a midsize drill press ... though I also added a 10" compound miter saw. Great review thanks. I bought the DeWalt ...

Buying cheap tools for the casual DIY homeowner is typically the best option. Professional high-dollar tools can be justified when needed every single day on the job. I purchased cheap tools to do a home remodel and then sold most of the tools, after the remodel was complete. I recouped from 25 percent to 75 percent of my purchase prices, depending on the type tool. That way I did not have to worry about rental times, etc. Some of the tools I kept for other projects. I purchased my bench grinder for $25 from a friend. It was fifteen years old at that time. I've had it for 18 years and it still works great.

[@brianhutchinson2377]

Third tool would be a drill press. Move your spacer to the outside of the convex washer, the wire or stone wheel needs contact with both of them on each side to spin correctly, and not slip. awesome videos, keep em coming!! CHEERS!!!

[@slinkyaroo]

Awesome choice. I was thinking battery charger or power bar but I don't know how long ago he was talking. Then a radio but that probably would be on a shelf.

[@lennym1273]

OMG did you just put the spacer inside the cup washer?, thought you knew a few things about bench grinders? you are suppose to put the spacer out side the cup washer right behind the nut, first one cup washer then the wire wheel then the other cup washer then the spacer then the nut...

I was taught never to wear gloves when working with any rotating machine that can grab the glove along with your fingers . What’s your take on that ?

[@sqwearl1392]

I got a wire in my eye while wearing safety glasses. The wire bounced off my cheek and under my glasses, directly into my eye. Not only woulf I say wear safety glasses, bit I'd insist on wearing the cheap $1 ones because they hug the eye socket and sit so close to your cheek that they function like goggles without the hassle of goggles.

Best to move the workpiece side to side on the grinding wheel to prevent uneven wear on the wheel. Just commenting so anyone inexperienced knows. Cody was just trying to bog down the unit's for a test.

[@beakerunrefined4230]

That is correct! It really pisses me off when the grinding wheel has been abused by someone who should know better.

[@madisonhill3175]

Call me a novice, but why is a drill press more useful than a portable drill?

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

@@madisonhill3175 A drill press can take a wider range of drill sizes. Has more power and torque. The work can be held down, with a vice and you have more control on the operation. A hand drill is one of the necessary tools, but its more for field work, on the job etc.

[@trentwheeler6161]

@@madisonhill3175 precision work can be done with a drill press. Easier to complete a job. I've drilled broken steel bolts out of aluminum before by hand (more than once) but by far many jobs are easier completed with a drill press. Don't forget about a few dabs of cutting oil. I use 5w30 or 15w40 engine oil!

When I was a young guy I bought a 3/4 hp Craftsman bench grinder. Still runs great. If you are young step up and buy a lifetime unit, if you are old a cheep unit will work. I have always run the wire wheel without covers so I can clean odd shapes items. The third item at least in my case was a small drill press.

[@dalepr69]

not sure i agree with this.. those thick leather gloves will either jam the wheel or just get ground away. On something like a lathe, milling machine, drill press i totally agree, those things are the type to snag and pull, a grinding wheel will cut and shred the glove before it pulls it anywhere

[@ronniepirtlejr2606]

You want the spacer behind your supporting washer, NOT against the wire brush. Supporting washers need to support each side of the wire brush for it to operate safely!
