This restoration reminded me that there's an old grinder in my Dad's shop that stopped working i'm guessing 40 years ago. I remember when i was about 10 or so having to bump the wheel slightly to get it spinning and waiting a good while for it to get up to speed. So it was around that time it was retired and left mounted on the shelf that's out of the way. When it was retired a new one was mounted in a more accessible location. After watching you (with your son's help of coarse) restore your Father's old grinder i now have Another winter project to add to my list. Thank you for making and sharing this video. I enjoyed watching and it turned out great. Take care. ::SUBBED::

Dad bought a broken grinder for a few bucks at an outdoor market. Power was going to it, and cap seemed ok. I could hear it hum but it wouldn't move at all. When I tried to rotate the wheel it was not smooth and wouldn't spin by itself if I tried to push it. I tried to open it to see inside for any damage, it wasn't shorted to ground. I could not figure out how to pull out the end caps. This video did help me understand how it's generally constructed. I never could get mine off by pounding just the endcap, but since I realized how the shaft runs, I ended up having to pound one side to push the other cap off. My bearings were covered with fine wood dust and was not moving at all. I sprayed the dust off with alcohol and the bearings were already spinning very well. I proceeded to wash it out with the alcohol as best as I could, and used compressed air to dry it out. Then poured fresh machine oil into the bearings, then stuffed the bearings with some grease. I put it back together, and to my surprise it turned on. The device also didn't have a switch, (switch was stolen/salvaged), so I used a pass through outlet that had a switch on it to turn it on and off. Apparently if there is resistance, it can't get started to get going and stay spinning, even though it was movable and you'd think the sheer spinning power could overcome it.
@dennisp.21476 жыл бұрын

Although I should probably just mount it to plywood for now because who knows how long it'll be till I get to the rim/pipe plan...
