Thank you. Yup works great

[@TOMA21207]

That is some good stuff. I have couple of motors in my garage, looking forward to give it a try and make one of my own. Thanks for the idea.

Great addition to your workshop, it's safe to say that you have an sander addiction . Keep them coming. Jasper.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thank you, I guess I fall in to the Sand-o-phile category. I just hate to sand. And this is not the last sander build. there are a couple more coming:)

[@harringtondave10]

Great idea. Do you think there would be an advantage in having a rheostat to adjust the speed?

[@harringtondave10]

Sorry I didn't watch the whole video before I commented.

[@freddyjayboy]

Fantastisk! Starter og stopper sponavsuget automatisk når du åpner og lukker lukene?

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Takk. ja da unngår man at noen luker blir stående oppe, og dermed reduserer effekten ved det punktet en skal bruke. Har på gang en video som viser dette oppsette, men har litt igjen

[@MRrwmac]

I understand the use of full sandpaper squares and those cut into fingers BUT I'm not clear on what the brushes (from kids broom) do for the sanding?. Unless it's just to help ventilate the sanding dust into the collector opening. Excellent build and design with dovetails and a VFD with rheostat knob smartly put at user station! Thanks for sharing!

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Its only to support the back of the abrasive(square or strip) to give it some rigidity but still able to "form" around the object

[@MRrwmac]

Bellevue Woodshop Oh Ok, good idea! Thanks for responding and explaining.

[@dannyoktim9628]

The spray adhesive you use is it a permanent bone or temporary construction bond, and can you pass on the brand . . . thanks, smart build

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thank you Danny, It is CA glue with activator. This brand is a custom made for Norway. But if you live in the US, Fastcap has a similar called 2P-10 i think

[@dannyoktim9628]

I like the ease of use of that product, thanks for sharing.

[@jachymwiaczka4271]

I see these in workshops around me but I always wondered... why? is it beneficial to use this sander instead of other kinds of sanders? like a belt sander or the vertical drum sander you used to sand the inside of that hole

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

These are mainly to sand outside curves, and objects with complex shapes. they are much more gentle than a belt sander, due to the fact that they dont have a solid backing. For instance sanding a live edge on a board or log, this one is perfect for the job. But definitely not the most used tool in the shop

[@АпишГарибова]

Jachym Wiaczka 🍭🍭

[@nikolatesla3874]

6:21 What is that thing?

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Its a VFD. Variable Frequency Drive. A motor drive that makes it possible to adjust speed by changing the frequency

[@coryfree6165]

Man that's nice. u can do some fine precise work with that. 👍

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thanks Cory, yes it works great

Drit kult! :) Hvor kjøpte du det limet med den sprayen? Ser det mye i statene, men har ikke sett det her i Norge noe sted.

[@haakonharnes]

På biltema :) Art. nr: 364831 Har forøvrig også hørt at de selger det på Carlsen Fritzøe, men er ikke sikker.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Takk Bjørnar. Det er et helt nytt produkt hos Biltema. Fant det ved en tilfeldighet. 49,90 for lim og aktivator i sett. Konsistensen på limet er akkurat passe . midt immellom medium og tykk vil jeg si. Løp og kjøp

[@Magnussen92]

Håkon Harnes Hjertelig takk, Håkon! Artikkel nummer og hele pakka, du er snill du :) Bellevue Woodshop Det skal jeg definitivt gjøre! Det virker sinnsykt praktisk med den aktiverings-sprayen. Jeg finner mange slike godbiter i vdeoene dine, slik som den rettholten i forrige video.

[@joebrewer6034]

Another great project. Always a pleasure to watch your videos! Out of curiosity, what do you use your sensors on your blast gates for?

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thank you very much for the kind feedback Joe, and for taking the time to watch and comment. They are reed switches for the blastgates to start the dust collector as soon as the are fully open. I am planning to make a video on my dust collector setup soon. So you will see its features there

[@MRrwmac]

Bellevue Woodshop I would also like to see that. I'm guessing that your innovative builds, that the sensors will not allow the DC to run if more than one blast hate is open? That is definitely going to be interesting!!

[@knh62903]

do you think i could do this with the motor from an old diaphragm pump?

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Any motor close to 1 Hp would work. If you do not have access to a vfd, it should not spin any faster than aprox 1300 rpm

[@StavrosGakos]

Very nice!

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thank you Stavros

[@danielmays1986]

Nice project. Well done. I especially liked the use of a variable frequency drive -- they should be used more often. The only negative is that you also NEED to install an E-Stop button -- which you can easily do.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thank you Daniel, I dont know how much the speed adjustment will be used. I used the vfd mainly the convert from 1 phase to 3 phase, But the variable speed is a great bonus. Thanks for watching

[@romario74]

Great job!

Wow, cool build! Hey, quick question: where (in Norway) are you getting that superglue/activator combo? I couldn't make out the labels. Also: CASCO TRELIM BEST TRELIM. Biltema veggmaliiiing represent! :)

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

[@nenasil1]

Hi, what is the power and speed of the engine?Thanks

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

I am not sure but I think it might be 750w and has a rpm of 2300. But the speed is variable due to the use of the vfd

[@davidmu2630]

[@lipevolcom2]

Far as I know induction motors cannot have a speed control , these are only suitable for brushed universal motors! Are you sure your motor will last with the regulator ?

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Sure they can. They are used in almost all industrial equipment, Its the change in drive frequency that alters the speed. just google Variable Frequency Drive

[@markusrtheben8900]

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thank you very much Rodney. Its 11 ply baltic birch glued together, so I think its going to last. The abrasive is more than secure. I lifted the whole motor from one of the flaps, as a test when i built it. thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you find something else on my channel you like

[@salmaniqbal2451]

Good idea

[@larsniklassonhede3798]

Bellevue Woodshop+ Nice build but speed control must be expensive? Are you not afraid of inhaleing that spray from the glue activator.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thanks Lars. The VFD was free. Salvaged half a dozen from work . Mainly used to convert into 3 phase as I only have single phase in my shop. Speed control was a bonus.

[@MRrwmac]

Bellevue Woodshop Wow, lucky you on the VFD's. Send me in and I'll pay you for it but shipping to USA is too expensive. I know because I got one of MTMWOOD end grain cutting boards from Russia for a gift to my Chef nephew (BTW, he loves it). Wish I could find a cheap VFD here in the USA.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

[@nomadbound9610]

Why does it need a broom or drawer slides?????

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Hi Thomas. The reason for the broom is to provide backing support for the abrasive. If this was not installed, the sandpaper would just lay flat and put no pressure on the piece to be sanded. The drawer slides is installed to be able to pull the unit out to sand larger curves and pieces, without the dust collection box obstructing. Hope that answer your questions

[@GeorgeTheWoodWorker]

With the risk of being taken as a troll(excuse me if so), i have to ask, Isn't a VFD a bit of an overkill for this application ?

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

That is not trolling, that is a legitimate question. The main reason is that I do not have 3 phase power in my shop. So when the time came to dismantle a machine at work and the electrical cabinet had 25 VFD´s in it, I salvaged half a dozen before it went to the scrapyard. These make me convert single phase power into real 3 phase, and it gives me the advantage of speed control. along with full acceleration and deceleration control. And it has a cool factor as well, at least in my eyes

[@finn127]

jøss, ka sku du hatt for ein sånn? reint hypotetisk?
