This tool costs about the same as a new bench grinder, lol. I appreciate the project for the love of it though. A Black and Decker though? I'd have walked on by. In the UK they are considered cheap rubbish, at least nowadays. This looks like it was built in the 60s and might be worth the effort, since EVERYTHING was made properly back then. My grinder has stopped working.... I turned it on one time in freezing cold weather and it started briefly and then died. Is that the motor giving up? Took apart and can't see anything immediate. The fuse is also good. There's no capacitor though, which is weird.

@@ArcanePath360 I agree, I wouldn't have grabbed a more modern B&D grinder but this one is pure quality. I like knowing that it was literally at the dump and now it's a very capable tool. Money-wise, I only bought some bearing grease and paint. It took a lot of time and effort but I learned a lot. For me, that's what it's all about. :) As for your grinder, I'm no pro but it could be the switch. I'd try bypassing the switch, like I did, then plug it in and see if it comes back to life.

@@ArcanePath360 With the switch bypassed and the grinder plugged in, give one of the grinding wheels a spin to see if you can get it going. If not, I guess it's an issue with the motor. Unless your grinder has carbon brushes that need to be replaced.

They built them to last back then. I have a 10 inch Wolf grinder and it is all cast and indestructible. It weighs in at about 100 pounds with 1 1/2 inch wide wheels on and runs on under its own momentum for several minutes after it is switched off, Potentially pretty dangerous if you haven't got your wits about you.

A few things. The thing you called a commutator should be the centrifugal switch that breaks contact with the start capacitor once the motor is up up to speed. The other thing? IMO never reuse sus bearings. Just don't. Bearings in an application like this just aren't that expensive to replace. And these for sure look like they were "rode hard and put up wet".
@Mikeattempts
@Mikeattempts Жыл бұрын
Ah, thanks for letting me know about the centrifugal switch! As for the bearings, I agree. Like I said in the video, I bought brand new bearings, but I couldn't find the exact width. I was afraid there'd be too much play with the new bearings, so I decided to clean and repack the old ones. They sound good when the grinder is running but I guess time will tell. Thanks for the comment!

That was very educational and a treat to see, many thanks! I have a mini grinder not working. Saved from the dumpster. Wonder what it could be? Most likely a loose contact as it does not look used. Please save your hands. You will find as you get older your hands turn arthritic from overuse, esp the right hand. For this job, you would have been better off doing a sand blasting to remove the gunk instead of wire brushing. That angle grinder vibration does a number on the hands. I'm going tos set up a sand/glass bead/ soda blasting station.

@@Mikeattempts Well, no luck on my grinder yet. I took the motor apart, it looks new, carbon brushes ok, bearings feel lubed, I shined up the commutator (copper cylinder) which also looked new, no dust or rust at all. All the wiring under it looks new no dust or loose connections, no capacitator failures. I have to check these electronic components out: Potentiator motor aka Potsmotor which is the variable speed dial. Bridge Rectifier - black thingie that sticks out. MOSFET - a type of transistor Safety capacitor - a yellow square thingie. Nothing looks blown or obvious. I think its a faulty thingie listed above. I have a multi meter so have to figure out how to test each piece without removing from circuit board, if that is possible. Otherwise, its a desoldering job, get a new piece from Digikey, and resolder. Before I do that, I am going to test out the power switch. When I press it, the red light turns on only. I am guessing that the variable speed dial (Potentiator motor) is what might be faulty as this is what should turn the green light on and get the grinder spinning. I know nothing about electronics. I identified each piece by taking a photo of it in Google Lens. When you turn on Google Chrome on your cell phone, look in Search bar. On extreme right side you will see a camera icon. Select it. Google Lens app opens. Center the frame on item to be identified and click to snap photo. Google Lens immediately gives you other comparable photos and identifies what that is. A super handy function of the cell phone! Finding out the name of something is the first step in solving the problem. By the way, that foam piece you used to surround the wires to prevent friction wear on them... use a wire strain relief bushing. These are plastic grommets that fit into a hole securely from one side. You don't need access from both sides, so after it is assembled is fine too. You will need wire strain relief pliers, usually $8 on Amazon for Chinese ones but a much better one is the vintage Heyco pliers from Germany, sold used on Ebay for $30. You wrap it around the wires, then pinch the bushing with pliers and force it in. These pliers are essential for sewing machine motor wiring - they all have them and it is insanely frustrating to open up the bushings without these specific pliers. I am sure you will encounter these bushings in your DIY work at some point. I fix sewing machines as a hobby so passing this on. Only buy HEYCO unless you buy cheap ones and sculp them with a Dremel to be more precise on the tips. Very nice work on restoration! I love it when people save machines. So many good machines out there.

@@mjremy2605 Thanks for all of the great info and tips, I appreciate it! I'm not very good with electronics yet either but at 2:31 in the video, I bypassed the switch by twisting the wires together. Then I plugged it into an outlet and then quickly unplugged it. If the motor spins, you know it works and that you just need to replace the switch. Just be careful if you decide to give it a try.

I'm lovingyour content and the philosophy of repair you're bringing to the world. Though I have to say, if ever you are filing, the best method to remove the most material faster without making an awful noise, you want to position the part to be filed so you can file directly above it. And forward strokes only. this keeps chips from binding in and rolling around between the teeth all the time and keeps you square to the work surface. I know what Fireball Tool said, but knowing what my cheap files have done, it baffles me that the expensive files he used wore out after taking so little material.

Hey Mike, next time you encounter a loose bearing and shaft surface that's too much for threadlocker to fix, use a solid center punch and hammer to peen the shaft where the bearing's bore would seat. Don't go at it like a shaved ape with a sledgehammer but with just enough impact to raise the surface in equally spaced points around the shaft. You may need to repeat the procedure in an equidistant row from the last one until you have raised the surface enough to accommodate the full width of the bearing's inner race. Once you're satisfied with that, add the threadlocker and seat the bearing. Should cover the repair enough to satisfy your need more than adequately.
@Mikeattempts
@Mikeattempts 7 ай бұрын
I've heard of that technique, but I've never tried it myself. I considered it on this and a more recent project, but I was hesitant because I didn't wanna mess up the shaft. However, your detailed tips would make me feel more confident that I was going about it the right way, thanks!

One side of the shaft is reverse threaded so you can put a wrench on each side and tighten them both at the same time. It doesn't work as well when removing them because one side always breaks loose first. An impact wrench or maybe even an impact driver should do the trick. If you don't have any impact tools, you could put 2 nuts on the side that has been removed and tighten them against each other, then you should be able to hold the shaft while loosening the other side.

@@gorak9000 Yeah, another problem I've run into is the "longer is better" mindset when it comes to soaking things in the ultrasonic cleaner. You can easily go from cleaning to doing damage.

Try adding a small amount of automotive antifreeze to the simple green solution to help prevent oxidation.

@@commpost2 That's interesting, how does the antifreeze counteract the oxidation? The only problem is that it would take the solution from non-toxic to toxic by adding the antifreeze.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe you don’t want to be wearing gloves when using that bench grinder.

You're right, gloves shouldn't be worn around any spinning tools since they could cause your hand to get pulled in, causing more damage. It was cold so I took the risk.

Instead of using paper towel to hold screws on a screwdriver try a small dab of grease.

That's a good tip, thanks! I recently picked up one of those tools that grips the inside of a slotted screw on one end or a Phillips screw on the other. It's not something I use often but it makes life much less frustrating. :)
