[@JordanHaisley]

Are there still plans for a 4x8 version?

[@cjhification]

I don't think I have seen anyone take the Bosch "Glide" mechanism and apply it to anything else, really nice rework if the concept.

[@elliottmanning]

Because of the craftsmanship, I thought James was an old guy... How wrong I was!!!

[@JamesBiggar]

Hi folks, I hope you're all doing well. Take care, and stay safe!

gen III - add miter swivel?

[@RoJay1983]

Saw the wood model video and thought "a metal one would be awesome" And you've made that too. Respect!!!

[@hippie-io7225]

Thanks for showing us all that we can "up our game." You are a master at adding value.

[@blogit1000]

Wow damn, that yellow trike looks dope

[@sethgecko6569]

Greetings from Russia! Perfect and unexpencible work, bravo mr. James!

[@whyldthing86]

Nice work! You can even upgrade this with some stepper motors and turn it into a CNC multi-tool thing. 😬

[@anonymousgoat3669]

Have you thought about adding an electro magnet to the table? I really like the design and build by the way.

[@dimphomoatshe7745]

You made it with basic workshop tools and measuring equipment .... im inspired 👨‍🔧

[@DonQuichotteLiberia]

Then "Gen" stands for "genius". Excellent work!

[@thomasmoore4576]

Thanks man that was slicker than snot on a doorknob it's nice to see people doing good things with their hands they don't realize how much work it is to do something like that I wish I could still do things like that with my hands but that's not going to happen the next best thing is watching you do it you're very clever thanks for the videos man keep them coming

Hello, congratulations on being the best engineer in the world😃😃😃😃😃😃

[@michapilecki4808]

That’s something very fresh on metal workshop YT. It was impressive!👍

[@kaosthecosmicreviewer1055]

might have to build this in the near future, I already have a table frame in the backyard so half the work is already done!

[@pulesjet]

Damn, that's slick. There will be a Chines Clone out at the end of the Year.

[@BenMitro]

I thought the same thing...made of lighter materials, missing some touches James included, like the neoprene inserts and end up being semi useless without substantial rework.

[@whyldthing86]

But wait...harbor freight will be selling these clones hehehe.

[@armentumhominum9931]

@@BenMitro I don't think so, they're copying with really high quality. The fault is in the consumer that prefers lower prices rather than supporting local workers. But I guess that's how the world works.

[@tobiasgreen8211]

Nice job.... Now which one do I buy? You've done great work with the 3D carver. Best value for money on the net considering some designs cost £250... And yours was the same as a cup of coffee from Starbucks! 👍

[@steveplowman4005]

Enjoyed your project, thanks for taking the time to share it. I will be ordering plans! Take care. Cheers Steve

Awesome video James. Waiting on the trike videos

[@JamesBiggar]

Thanks! Just waiting on the battery. It's stuck at UPS in BC on the other side of the country, due to the virus shutdown. Could be a while longer before it arrives. They can take all the time they need, I don't want anyone getting sick for my sake.

[@matthewpayneadventurerfilm8902]

Awesome build. Very tempted to make one myself. Would be a very useful bit of kit.

[@leslieaustin151]

Ingenious! Thank you. Les in uk

[@jamesreed5186]

Very nice. I would have enjoyed seeing you Orient one of those pieces of square tubing across your table and then cutting it right down the middle with your new tool to demonstrate that it will cut a straight line

[@JamesBiggar]

Could have, but I need that tubing not split in half LOL

[@AppliedMathematician]

Thanks for sharing, that implicitly solved a problem I had for something i was designing.

[@JoseSilveira-newhandleforYT]

Looks great! And the images answered all my remaining doubts. From the type of "table top" you designed, you could also use a plasma cutter, instead of an angle grinder :-)

Great job there mate - very "covid creative". I can't wait to see all the bells and whistles on this metal version, like you have already done with the wooden one. Thanks for all your work

[@RobertWelling]

stunning craftsmanship! thanks for sharing!

[@Rudik5626]

you can also install a protractor! to cut at different angles

[@morkovija]

Holy macaroni, this is amazing. I love the versatility

[@artgrathartgrath3451]

Thank you for sharing your amazing work Great educational video

[@madwilliamflint]

Well that's pretty damned clever right there. I've been looking in to building something similar but couldn't quite get the design right in my head.

[@kpp4463]

Great build! what did you put into the square tube stock when you needed to drill holes through both sides at 6:09 ? was that just a solid piece of metal stock ? Thanks

[@paulohchagas1558]

Exatamente um magnifico trabalho , tu é tóp das galaxias (brasil)

[@stevenboelke6661]

So it can just spin freely? It'd be nice to have adjustable angle control for exact angle cuts.

[@JamesBiggar]

Yes, if you loosen the set screws in the locking collars. Otherwise, you can lock it at any angle you want around a 360° axis. Grinder can be locked for compound cuts as well. But I built this for my needs, since it's in my shop ;) Others can do whatever they want however they want

[@naungyaung5220]

Perfect 😊

How can I get a set of prints for these they are cool a hell

[@oldoldpilgrim7898]

How well does the one built in the video hold it's level when cutting a dado over the full extent of it's travel?

[@JamesBiggar]

The prototype works excellent. But like I said in the description, the new guide is only for metal working, I'm building a separate guide for crosscutting plywood and surface planing. Like anything in this world, if you build them accurately, then they'll perform accurately - the quality depends on the builder ;)

[@MrJackfriday]

Owh, make a drill and plasma cutter attachment for this build!

[@DonDIYProject]

Wow!

[@Wabuh-Wabuh]

Hello, what are the tools & materials called?

[@marciomonteiro5067]

Muito show

[@GoatZilla]

Would be neat to integrate an accelerometer so you can set angle of the grinder.

[@JamesBiggar]

Don't accelerometers measure acceleration? Vertical angle can be set by loosening the bolt that fastens the grinder to the arms (where the handle usually goes in the grinder) and use a speed square for angle reference. Horizontal angles are set the same, except by loosening the set screw in the locking collars. Easy peasy :)

[@GoatZilla]

@@JamesBiggar Yeah they measure acceleration, i.e. the gravity vector. But you'd also need to know the angle of the table too so yeah ultimately just use the regular methods.

[@yiotisker683]

Good job James!!! When we will see the project of new turbine?? With 18coils??Did you do anything or coronovirus take your time??? :p

[@JamesBiggar]

Guys have been frozen in the ice, don't want to chop them out in case I chop a wire lol. Should be free soon though

[@tawantae]

@ I just start doing metalwork. At around 02:42 is it ok to grind with a cutting disc? Are there any caveat, and how often do you do it? I really like your content. Hope to see more usage of fiberglass with iron :D

[@JamesBiggar]

Hi, thanks! Slow the clip down and you can see that 99% of what's happening is a cutting action - not grinding ;) I first removed the majority of the material with a 1/32" thick cutting wheel, because they cut the fastest. I then switched to a 1/8" grinding wheel to make a series of straight cuts and remove the rest of the material, with some LIGHT grinding near the end. The trouble with using a cutting wheel to grind begins when the user puts lateral pressure on the wheel which will cause it to bend and potentially break, but it will also taper the edge of the wheel. This is dangerous because when you go to cut something with the wheel again, the fine tapered edge is likely to break, and when the broken edge makes another rotation around and hits the work piece again it can snowball into a nasty explosion in the blink of an eye. The force applied to a cutting wheel should always be inline with the edge of the wheel - the wheel is strongest on it's edge. My 'rule of thumb' is to never do any grinding with a wheel thinner than 1/8". 1/8" or thicker is more of a dual purpose cutting/grinding wheel but with limitations. 1/4" or thicker is suitable for heavy grinding. But this is in general. In actuality, not every 1/8" grinding wheel is created equal. Some are designed to do more cutting than grinding, or vice versa. Using the right wheel really comes down to reading the labels on the product when purchasing to make sure it's designed for the task ahead.

[@tawantae]

@@JamesBiggar Thank you for the explanation :D

[@constructor4425]

Bad ass. I want that

[@Kuliomahan]

hey good job bro

[@douglasharley2440]

if a wizard were to somehow watch this video they'd be like "damn, that james biggar dude is a WIZARD!"

[@a.forsyth5806]

Awesome device. How do you square the grinder?

[@JamesBiggar]

Off the table with a builder's square. As long as a person builds the table square and flat, then it will serve as a good benchmark.

[@kenkrommenacker8649]

Cool!!!

[@toddundy]

Are you working off of some plans or are you building this straight out of your head?

[@JamesBiggar]

Out of my head - I created the plans www.resystech.com/diy-project-plans.html This is the second version, the first was a wooden prototype that I made a couple of years ago (link in the description). Hundreds of downloads for those plans, some of the results can be seen here on KZbin. It's not really a new concept aside from being able to attach almost any handheld power tool to it - the project was actually inspired by Bosch's Axial-Glide system: www.boschtools.com/ca/en/boschtools-ocs/miter-saws-gcm12sd-33969-p/ But that saw is pricey to buy and replace when it eventually kicks the bucket, and can't even do half of what the tool guide can do, which was 1/5th of the cost to build in comparison.
