This will be an exciting build. Have tried to find homemade crusher builds in the past, but none were very detailed. Looking forward to the series.

I have a video that's not very detailed, but I am working on a second version right now that will be detailed.

Hello Donn, what about that detailed video? I really want to try to make my own crusher. Maybe just put the measurements of your cuts, or even just follow the video and put notes on it. This was you won't have to do a whole new video. Thank you,

[@SluSharkND]

"Why do I need it?" Please, you had me at "crusher". no further explanation necessary!

[@markfryer9880]

Donn, I think that you will find that the reo bar on the jaws will wear out quickly as it is only a low grade mild steel. You could possibly increase the service life by raising the carbon content through carburising the steel. You would need to make a suitably sized firing kiln and get some carburising material. Or you could just buy some hardfacing welding rods or wire. Choice is yours as always mate. Mark from Melbourne Australia

I'm loving this. I worked at a rock quarry. We had a jaw crusher that would crush Volkswagen size rocks. I could watch that thing all day. Theres something about a rock that size jumping up and down inside the jaw till it gets a bite into it and starts pulverizing it down to 3" stones. So cool.

[@DonnDIY]

I've watched many rock crusher videos here on youtube and must agree, it is mesmerizing. 😁

[@DonnDIY]

Nice to be the source of inspiration! 🤘

[@anderst5248]

Wow, what a surprise new build! Two things strike me; the very loose fit of the outer ring of the bearing and that you use rebar in the jaws.. Common rebar is actually very soft and is made of mixed scrap metal (but cheap to replace), maybe you should add Loctite or similar to fix the outer ring harder as the bearing will endure a lot of forces and vibrations. Edu tõõle!

[@Henning_S.]

He said that the rebar he used is from old (electric?)fence posts. We have some very similar electric fence posts which are made of some kind of spring steel, maybe the ones he used are also made of that material, it seems to be pretty tough... He can also use those hard facing welding rods to weld a rope on every rebar stick... I also don't trust the loose fit on that bearing housing, i think it will work loose and the bearing will rattle around in that housing after a few uses. I had a similar problem with a wheel bearing on a trailer, it was a little too easy to press the new bearing in (not even as easy as his bearing went in)and it made weird noises while driving. I used loctite to glue the bearing into the wheel hub and the noise was gone

[@ironfront9573]

A tip regarding welding 6mm+ steel like this. To get best weld you should always leave a gap in the root, the bevels should also be ground to a thinner edge, roughly the thickness of your rod/wire. Also the gap should be about the width of the rod/wire. This is the only way you get full melt of the material to be joined and filler material reaching the reverse side of the weld. After doing a root run on lower amps (working on the thin edge of bevel) you do a capping run on higher amps with thicker rod/wire doing a side to side weave.

[@NorthamptonEcoFarm]

[@Farm_fab]

Donn, just some FYI, if you want the bearing race to fit tight, machine it out to the right specifications, then put the bearing race in the freezer for an hour, bring it out and drop it in the hole. It will be just a bit loose until the race warms up. To remove an old race from a pocket, weld around the inside middle of the race and let it cool. At room temperature the race will shrink.

[@robertkeime4907]

Great video

[@johncooper4637]

I is nice to see good welds. That is certainly some heavy scrap iron you have. I understand the need for free or next to free but if that is mild steel it will wear a lot. You should get you some hardfacing wire and apply it to the plates. I know about this mainly from a friend who has a robotics welding company that makes welders for hardfacing the inside of pipes and valves.

[@DonnDIY]

I'll use hardox second time around once these wear plates wear out.

[@markusmuller8619]

[@williamdawson3353]

EXCELLENT You make Fridays a day to look forward to. Will the rebar be hard enough to withstand the crushing? Most crushers use hardened teeth/jaws.

[@DonnDIY]

I've seen rebar work great but if this fails in longterm I'll make the jaw out of hardox.

[@horstszibulski19]

I can't still imagine the entire thing yet, but that's most times the case in that early state... :-D But nice to watch anyway, thx a lot! :-D

[@kameljoe21]

Its a simple concept yet takes a lot of thick metal to keep it from deforming under the load. Its a v shape and the rocks go in at the top of the v. While the left side of the v is fixed and the right side of the v moves back and forth allowing the large rocks to come down and chip a small part off and as it chips smaller stuff off it get smaller till it gets to the bottom which has be adjusted to the size rock you want. Moving it in and out allows you to make smaller rock or larger rocks. The rebar on the removable plate is to help the rock find grip and make it crush better. Its going to be a massive build and super fun to watch.

[@horstszibulski19]

@@kameljoe21 Wow thx a lot for the explanation! So the moving part will hammer the rocks to the fixed one until the desired grade falls out? Sounds interesting, but Don's builds are always great and fun to watch! :-D

[@kameljoe21]

@@horstszibulski19 Yeah they are super awesome to watch. The one major thing about this build as you watch it will be the amount of metal he will use to keep it strong. Which is why he made that plate replaceable and I am sure he will cnc cut some gussets out to add to the rest of the frame. The other thing I have seen people do is box out that frame and fill with concrete as they will deform if there is not enough mass behind them.
