Making a Metal Dust Collector: Part 1 (4K HDR)

[@jcs6347]

I was going to to suggest a Bosch jig saw, it's the best hand power tool I own, but that nibbler looks like it did well.

Finally. Glad you're back :)

I have a couple of other videos in the work. However, they are quite time intensive. I have worked for two years on and off on one of them: the visualization of pattern welding.

Hi, I had an idea to use a powered electromagnet to collect metal from my shop floor and then turn of the power to discard. I searched for this and ended up here. Did you consider anything like this as a option?

[@dictionarypleb2826]

Your Frankenstein roller is pretty good. It is a good example of how making your own tools is the mark of a good blacksmith.

[@NielsProvos]

I was surprised how well they worked :-)

[@arondennis4810]

You could have used a jig saw with a metal blade for the larger holes

[@Rsama60]

I was about to say the same. Jigsaw woulh work great

[@martinsoublette95]

@@Rsama60 me too. I have experience with metal sheet working. 0.8 mm and 2 mm thick aluminium sheets to be precise.

The nibbler look like it worked great to cut the inner hole. Maybe could have "rough cut" the initial hole with an oxy-acetylene torch? Plasma cutter is available in the PiShop. I can help you with that next time. I also have access to the lathe in the metal shop at work if you'd like better rollers. Just provide the stock and dimensions.

[@brucebaldwin3877]

Could use an oxyacetylene cutter and a circular jig to cut the sheet metal, cost maybe 150-200$ plus rental of the gas tanks.

how to cut 6" hold in 16ga sheet, 6" OD steel pipe chisel edge ground innner to outer use a press, or a jack to press steel pipe through the sheet like a punch

[@ciaranamhain]

Make a video.

[@TheMadMagician87]

Yep, I'd go a jig saw. The (very expensive) Mafell P1CC is a monster and comes with guides and tracks etc. I bought it instead of a bandsaw as I'm space restricted. To the poor man, this expensive tool is a smash between a track saw and a bandsaw.

[@aserta]

You'll laugh, but with certain types of drills, in metal, on hammer mode, it actually cuts faster, didn't want to believe it at first, but it really does.

[@NielsProvos]

That sounds really counter intuitive :-)

[@Flederratte]

Great video!

[@arondennis4810]

And then I see you did,lol. Good job!

[@PackHunterGD]

Ya know they have electric snippers right, not too expensive. I'd of just got a tube with the same diameter as the hole and just punched it out

[@oneshotme]

The main problem with your videos is they are far apart lol Thumbs up and enjoyed your video

[@stewartwoerle6351]

Jigsaw with metal blade 😊
