Fitting an old stock punch to a new type Makita JN3200 JN3201 Nibbler.

[@darylhudson777]

Thank you, our Brother Dean, for showing us how we can modify our older tools to keep them going saving us all money because right now it's getting difficult to buy groceries much less new tools.

[@deandohertygreaser]

Very welcome

Those old original Japanese Makita's were the absolute dogs bollox. You pretty much cannot kill them. I have a 30+ year old 1/2" Japanese Makita router, used it on a quite a few kitchen etc still perfect.

You are a genius, Dean!

[@michaelflynn6178]

Great job Dean you are the man when there’s a problem to be solved

[@CrookedSkew]

Eating Flavahans porridge with tae and watching this lying back on the couch is my idea of a great Saturday morning. Thanks Dean.

[@harkbelial]

You are a true magician. Only if we had one down here, who looks after there customers. I have a cordless Makita nimbler. Overpriced and a waste of money. $664 skin only. Makita JN3201J 710W 3.2mm Powered Nibbler $882

[@timothystevenhoward]

that is an awesome machine!

Half moons in your boots, not for the faint hearted 🤣🤣 the old Makita and fein nibblers are way better then the new gear out there

[@pwapwap]

Make sure you have a way of picking them up / containing them reliably. I used one of these once and was finding them with my feet for years.

[@denty32]

@@pwapwap I think they make a little bag now for nibblers that catch the half moons

[@pwapwap]

@@denty32 that makes so much sense.

I love your content so glad I came across your channel, quick question you said something about your shop on your live video is your shop a big shop with loads of manual & power tools on show or a small with mainly hardware etc?. Stay safe and mostly stay strong!

[@plunder1956]

I've only seen the lighter guage version before. Never used one, but it looks effective.

[@ElMariachi1337]

Nice modification!

[@tdimccullough]

Just on the new cutting pin being central rather than the old directional pin, you say that the cutting head can only point forward, if you could remove the directional pin then you could cut in any direction

[@patrickbonner4841]

Avoid that fast forward crack , that other channels use wild hard to stay interested fen the content is been speeded up ,

[@tomthompson7400]

well done , they are a mighty nibbler , but boys those little toe nail clippings get everywhere , I find me digging them out of my boot soles for weeks . on a slightly different not , a while ago you repaired a hilti random orbital sander with the round base plate using a makita part as it was in fact a Makita sander just made in red , would you know if the Hilti WFO 280 is in fact a malkita too , as I could do with some spares and dont know where to get them , many thanks T

[@stuart6973]

Great video Dean 👍🏻 Question, I’ve got an old but gold TRUMPF N325 nibbler. The Fein RS 649-4 is the same machine too. Do you have in your array of spare parts, have a set of punch and dies for it? Be great to hear from you! Cheers Stuart

[@deandohertygreaser]

I'm affraid not. Iv had them in for repair before, very good tools. Buy decided to not stock any parts as iv rarely ever seem them come in.

[@tdimccullough]

The fact the new pin is central can it not be rotated to give a sharper cutting edge as older edge losses it's sharpness?

[@queazocotal]

It will wobble randomly round very slowly as it's not fixed in orientation by the pin, and wear evenly over a wider area. This may or may not help life much, as it'll depend on how it cuts in combination with the die, and if that bluntens it's not going to do well anyway.

[@marconiandcheese7258]

Does makita charge for this software for parts compatability you are talking about? Even if they do where do i download it at? Their website?

[@prasadvn524]

Mr Dean I am from India.I own an old Makita 4300 BV jigsaw.Of late the Makita shank blades are not available .Is it possible to replace the lift rod that willaccept the new T shank blades.I have asked this question but have not got a reply.Can you please give your comments.Thanks

[@tonydaddario4706]

No, it's a 30+ year old machine. Either import blades or modify blades you have to fit.
