Vintage Belt Sander Restoration

I bought a vintage belt sander from a used tool store. Through my research, I discovered it was manufactured by Makita, model 9400, in Japan. When I found it, the shaft was seized and it was quite rusty. In this video, I will restore its functionality. I hope everyone enjoys the video

For €30 I bought a very old belt sander Makita 9924DB...it is in excellent condition and works...just a little dirty, rust etc...I already have all the bearings etc...I will also restore it😃 Good video...keep it up.👍

Hope you can bring it back ^^

You could have used a degreaser to prevent the screw from breaking.

[@ModelsExInferis]

Another great restoration! I love it that you just get on and fix things, no fuss, no drama, just broken to working. I look forward to the next one!

Push in a bearing by the outer race not the inner race.

[@hbrestoration]

Pressing on the shaft will apply force to the inner ring

[@brentdallyn8459]

Wait!, the sander was jittering so much because he wired it wrong, it was running backwards...watch which way the belt turns lol

[@hbrestoration]

😅Yepp you are very observant, I had to reverse the wires

Excellent restoration, but not everything needs to be painted....like the 2 rollers and flat plates.

Nice refurbishing job. I felt bad for you when you broke off the corner when removing the screw that was holding on the plate. But you welded it back drilled and taped it and made it work. All in all, it came out nice. A great color for the sander body would have been a hammer stone silver grey. But it still looks good how you painted it. Thumbs Up!

Consider the Zen of sanding the sander....

In this context zen means “pondering the meaning of existence, raising one’s consciousness of reality.”

Very old to very new. But you know what they say about used tools? All they need to do is the job. The job doesn't need pretty tools.

[@hbrestoration]

I understand what you mean. It's like buying a new tool, it's better

[@robertblahnik7685]

@@hbrestoration No, I didn't say that. I'm meant that it doesn't matter if a tool is new or old so as long as they do the job. Having said that, its very good that you restored that tool because during a restoration you can find issues that need attention like a worn bearing, or belt drive that slips, or a crack in the housing like the one you found on the sled. Here's another example: my dad had a very old Craftsmen Drill that quit working so my dad got another drill that had a better chuck. So he didn't throw out the old drill. So I restored it and polished it's aluminum casing, and doubled the length of the cord. I replaced the chuck with a newer Jacobs chuck. Next, I sharpened all 100 of his drill bits. So he gave me his other drill, which I used for 10 years until the first cadmium battery drill came out and I got that.

[@hbrestoration]

@@robertblahnik7685 I think so too, it's great that you have such a great tool, what's more meaningful is that it's associated with a memory with your father.

Great video and authoritative teardown and rebuild. I restored two of these. One is a Makita and the other branded Wolf (made by Makita). I use one for sanding and one for pulling out vehicles stuck in mud. Joking of course, but they are a beast of a sander. Not sure why yours was bouncing around so much, which it shouldn't. Maybe a belt bump issue?

Liked everything you di from the recording, to the restoration to the editing, however, it's what you didn't do that will prevent me from subscribing at this time. You didn't provide any information whatsoever on what steps you were taking once you had deconstructed the sander. I want to be able to follow and you didn't provide that.
