Homemade Tool Wood Router - project failed And almost got me seriously injured

⛔⛔⛔ warning! ⛔⛔⛔
You must not try the next project! Before you read the description!
Dear friends, I started this project with great enthusiasm and everything went well. I did not do something that is not typical of me, and did not take into account some simple laws of physics.
At the request of some of my followers, I decided to make a video showing how to turn an angle grinder (disc) into a rotor. I planned the steps ahead and started working. Everything was built perfectly except for one thing. I did not consider that the central axis quality is poor and the diameter of the axis is too small. And all that data worked poorly with a 30,000 RPM rotation speed
My mistake was that I had to install a speed regulator and lower the engine speed. This would prevent the main axis of the engine from breaking! And the result you will see in the video In the 09:24 minute. Although the project failed I decided to upload the video so you can see how dangerous it can be when you do not keep the safety rules at work.
Dear Friends Safety at Work First of all !!! Smart people will watch the video and learn a thing or two about the importance of safety at work especially after changing its purpose to an electric tool. And this is the first project I failed and Today I learned an important lesson and it is definitely .a sad day for me! 😭😭😭 Tell me in the comments what you think it will help me greatly

I am very proud of you. When your ideas fail, you still show your failures to the world. Good job and hopefully your work will be better in the future.

[@DIYFixMan]

Thank you so much for your support !!!! I'm happy to read what you wrote down.

[@labhrashealy]

Thanks for having the guts & integrity for showing this. Glad to see you're not injured. Roll on the next project!

[@DIYFixMan]

Thank you so much for your support, I have certainly debated a lot about whether to post the video, my fear has been vulnerable to my reputation. But some people have helped me understand that even the best makes mistakes and it is okay to make mistakes and learn and grow. Thank you for watching the video

[@shahulabubakr542]

you are a hero brother, bet you saved and will save many from injury. our world needs more like you

[@EitriBrokkr]

And thats why routers, or milling machines use collets instead of chucks. Drill chucks can not handle sideload

[@visnjigor]

If you look carefully, you will see that the drive shaft of the motor broke off. That shaft is not designed for significant side load coming from cutting forces and unbalanced chuck. The drive shaft in angle grinder is primarily subjected to torque load and small side load coming from gear mechanism. Some shafts might even have a groove right in front of the bearing to accommodate circlip. That is a serious stress concentrator for bending loads. However, the idea is nice if collet chuck supported with its own ball bearings would be used.

[@efrencuadro2]

I think it will work good if you replace drill chuck with 8mm collet. Drill chuck is not design for high speed.

[@danceswithaardvarks3284]

There are a whole lot of dangerous (even more dangerous than this) angle grinder adaptations on KZbin. Glad you published this as it may discourage people from building them.

[@DIYFixMan]

That was my intention. Thank you for your support

[@danceswithaardvarks3284]

Thanks for sharing .. Glad you didn't get hurt

[@DIYFixMan]

jamal alghazoune Thanks for watching my video

[@lloydblakley1923]

The chuck came loose because it was only being secured by a small allen screw. The allen screw itself wasn’t even tightened fully as you can see by the angle that the allen tool was being used. A chuck on a drill normally doesn’t rely on an allen screw to remain secured.

[@stefanopisano7663]

More useful than a lot of beautiful video where everything seems always successful! Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@DIYFixMan]

thank men

[@hendrieklee5004]

As a FIXED MAN from DIYFIXMAN, this video was not shew failure, but to lecture other fellows in the same hobbies of workworking from choosing the right parts of DIY projects, in my opinion you choose the wrong drill chuck instead of trimmer chuck which is slim & lighter in spinning bits, thanks God you were ok, keeps on new projects man..

[@DIYFixMan]

Thank you very much my friend, I am happy to read what you have written here. I really appreciate it

[@Tboyhoot777]

Very nice video and warning lol too lol. I just bought a router on sale for 39 dollars, and they had cheaper ... so save the grinder lol!!

[@azharsalim2028]

I would presumed that the shaft from the motor has sheared off. Probably due to the side force as the cutting bit was digging through the wood. Looking at the diameter of the shaft, it appears to be too small to take any side loads. It was ONLY designed to drive the gears inside the original grinder itself.

[@fjlugos]

Unfortunately, this configuration will always fail due to the compatible coupling between the shaft and the chuck, unbalanced, mainly mechanical instability.

[@agapiosagapiou]

Thank you for sharing your failure! Is a good lesson for all us to be more careful on equipment modification. This is a nice show case on why in every manual they set that you should never modify the equipment or use it unconventional.

[@RohitVishwakarma-wt8gw]

Thanks bro. To show what we should not do. With these power tools

[@DIYFixMan]

Yes I was very lucky

Thankyou This video may have more value showing failure than if the project had been a success

[@natishamullis-brooks5715]

Thanks for sharing such a scary and embarrassing event! Hopefully it'll help prevent serious injury, to a fellow woodworker, in the future. I wish that you would have explained what caused the failure, however. I've only been a woodworker, just over a year and I was completley lost. Thanks to @EitriBrokkr and @Goran Visnjic for their explainations. Y'all were both great helps at straightening me out on this issue.

[@Telectronics]

Good that nothing happend to you my friend ! It was not a good idea to take the front gear off as you have seen that the axis is too thin and you are right. Thanks for sharing this.

[@DIYFixMan]

Thank you very much my friend

[@rizalardiansyah4486]

Thank you for sharing this video. It is a good reminder that not everything in the internet will works as intended...

[@nicasiosalonga8804]

nice sharing lesson learn. i will use aluminum next time

[@rodcabz2136]

chuck with a threaded attachment screw into a threaded shaft is much much much more secured than a set screw which cannot counter the turning force.

[@techreviews8293]

great idea i think it possible to make stable version of this. just don't stop keep working, don't forget safety first

[@DIYFixMan]

Thank you so much friend for taking the time to watch my video. You're definitely right and I won't stop trying

Thanks for posting, you've charged my mind, I'll just need to buy a separate router.

You are a lucky man. The chuck are not for router. You must use a collet. Regards.

Dont use the drill chuck. Its too heavy with over 20k rpm. Use the collet instead. More safety. Good work bro.

You've got lucky, thanks for sharing. I was wondering if the Chuck was a bit to big for the grinder. I'm planing to do a trim with a shaker motor, the Chuck will be inside a pipe. Best regards

The main axis of the grinder was too weak for the load.

sorry but it was obvious, the shaft diameter is too small for the cutting force ... a rigid ball bearing as a support with an adaptation would have been recommended, a good idea however as for very fine and not deep points or strokes

It appears that the metal piece in the angle grinder also broke. guess it was more of carbon steel and not tungsten steel.

Все дело не в большой скорости двигателя... по-моему. У некоторых фрезеров скорость бывает 30000. У вас слишком длинный шпиндель для патрона. И, как мне показалось, - диаметр мал. Так же нельзя не брать в расчет еще и плохое качество металла шпинделя.
