Hydraulic Rebar Cutter Restoration

I bought it about last year, it cost me $40. In this video. I made a new cooling fan, repainted it, etc.

[@cabji]

the good thing about these tools is that they seem to all be exactly the same inside, so this is a really good reference video for working on and maintaining these things.

[@mndlessdrwer]

In case anyone was curious why so many restorers bother to strip the paint off before media blasting, My Mechanic actually mentioned in the subtitles on one of his videos that he does this so that excessive paint doesn't get into his blast media and contaminates it. It makes it last longer before needing to be replaced if there's less paint getting in it.

[@jbuckley2546]

Not really, mainly in case the paint contains lead.

Outstanding restoration! You certainly know your business...very impressive to watch.

[@paulorth2251]

Very nicely done sir. I especially enjoyed the use of the plastic binder to keep pieces in place until you could get the end on. It looks like you made a good job of it over all and it does work well. Those blades were definitely made to handle so heavy duty re-bar and may have to be manufactured to fit right. Thanks for sharing 😁🐕🇨🇱🇺🇸

Sandblasting is so satisfying to watch without having to hear it. I wish my cable provider had a sandblasting channel, then there would be a reason to have cable.

19:55 Be very careful with residues from some types of Loctite near any plastics. Some compounds will slowly invade many plastics and destroy their structure from within. They make several plastic-safe thread-lockers for use near plastics and poly-carbonates.

1. He has all the right sizes. 2. These bolts where installed when it was made then never touched since, not hard to believe that he was able to undo them all

[@SAHER1925]

Good job. You could work more on the painting for better finishing.

[@tommasodibello]

Very nice job, especially because you used the Hitachi Impact Driver to unlock the exagonal screw, so you used a tool that you repaired and i'm convinced that you'll use even this hydraulic rebar cutter. Super!!! Greatings from Italy, friend

Anerobic sealants like Loctite make plastics very brittle. Can you not read the package before applying to the motor fan?

Hey I’m new to your channel. Great video, can’t wait to see more

[@ScrewDriverxxx]

Definitely one of the better restoration videos. Excellent work! Look forwards to seeing it cut once you find the blades. You may have to make those yourself...

[@joshyingling]

I wish you would have removed all that rough surface on the black main body of it but good job on everything else

[@Saxonx500]

Good job, put some steel packer blocks behind the new cutters and it should work fine

[@formhubfar]

Simple solution is to take the difference in width and divide it by 2 then get steel plates the same size as the cutting plates and put these on first either side.

[@judgiesa85]

Quick query mate, how olds the machine? just wondering as that gasket (edit: the original gasket) looked like it may have been made from Asbestos? Hope not. Otherwise very nice work :-) I need to find an excuse to get one of those.

[@miriamschoon2105]

I was wondering the same thing… and I'm slightly worried it might have been lead paint, but that's going to be hard to test for after sand blasting (😱)

[@permeus2nd]

I was also thinking that looked an awful lot like Asbestos so much so that ied treat it as if it was just to be on the safe side, that said I can’t think why they would use asbestos in this thing as they tend to only use it on items that are around heat or fire.

[@joshcook8586]

[@georgepretnick4460]

I dunno. Heating those bolts to blue them for cosmetic reasons might not have been wise. Those bolts went through a very specific hardening process. You most likely weakened them.

I doubt that a 3D printed fan will last long. 3D printing is nice for prototyping but not for parts that are under heavy load. With such thin walls it won't withstand the rotanional force of the spinning motor at all and will likely explode after a while.

[@ProtonOne11]

If he printed it in the right plastic, like ASA or Nylon, and at the right temperature to minimize the chance for delamination, it could still be a very strong part that holds up for years. If it's just PLA, then i agree, that stuff is way to brittle for an application like this. You could even get the design laser sintered in PA-12 or other engineering grade plastics at a print service company, if you need something stronger. the nice thing about 3D printing, it's easy to make a replacement part, if it really breaks again. Still not that quick to take the tool apart and replace it here tho.

[@douro20]

These things can be several thousand USD new. Many of the cordless ones will only operate for a certain amount of cycles before a logic lock is engaged and it has to be shipped back to the factory to be rebuilt at a considerable expense.

[@Marcelo-56]

Because the video did not show the internal assembly of the hydraulic system, which is the most important thing❓❓❓

[@Infrared73]

It's there I believe, just not explained. The three small pistons are driven by the off centre shaft. Motor spins fast and it slowly pumps the fluid in. Once the trigger is released, the spring returns it. I would have loved to see the mechanism described but that isn't necessarily what this channel is about.

[@andybrooke1961]

I wonder how they actually held those three spring-loaded pieces in at the factory, surly not with zip ties)))

A question for you, if you dont mind. When you were checking the motor housing, how come you had the meter set to ohms? I thought you were checking continuity, yet it was set for resistance.
