SNS 304 Part 2: Baldor Buffer Improvements, ZTFab Milling Arbor Racks

[Music] he's just some tool bits that my buddy Lance bolts he had ground for me and I just got him in and he also sit in this straight edge here he and I are doing some bartering right here I picked up these two tool bits off of ebay these are Rex 95 and they were originally inch and a quarter square tool bits and I wanted these to fit my shaper lantern holder so I sent him to Lance and he he ground an eighth of an inch off of one side of both of them to make them rectangular in shape and then I asked him what do you mind go ahead and grind in the end for me on his surface grinders that's what he's done I've got two separate grinds on this one here we've got a negative rake on the the tool angle there on the on the cutting side and in this one here we've actually got a positive rake there so more of like a back rake and a side rake there to the tool but they look good Lance did a beautiful job on the grinding I've got to put my the corner radiuses in there the way I want but there we go just to - nice tool bits but this the main thing was grinding Impero the side of it so that we could get it to fit the the lantern there so and this is just some rust inhibitor that he has put on there it looks like SP 400 if I was the guest it's kind of waxy filling alright so there's a tool bits and then what I'm gonna do for him he's got this straight edge here that's also known as like a prism straight edge Rahl casting so it's just Rahl cast iron and I'm going to machine all sides of it for him and then once once this is the machines I'm not sure if he's going to scrape this one I can't remember if this one was for him or for somebody else but I just know that this is something that he was working on and he asked me could I help him with but the they end up getting scraped I just can't remember if it's him that's going to be scraping it in so I think I'm gonna end up making a knt mill project out of this I originally thought about going over to the shaper and in cutting it on the shaper but I think I'm going to do it on I've been kind of thinking about my approach there so once we get to this I'll see you down the ket mill we'll get started cutting in on that but Lance thanks for the tool bit grinding I really appreciate it this is gonna save me a little bit of time and some excellent tool bits that I got for a really good price overall fee Bay I want to share with you guys some new shop organization tools that I just got in from Paul Brinegar over at Z T fab and what these are are shelves hangers for the 50 taper arbors for the milling machine sometime back I actually I believe it was last year maybe I had saw where Keith Rucker Evert venez machinery had got with Paul about making him one of these for his arbors and ever since then I had wanted to see about getting one for myself as well so I contacted Paul and asked him could he make me a pair of these things to go in my shop because he does he does not list these on his website but he will make him to order if if you guys are interested in these things you could send him an email and he'd be glad to work with you on a set that you need for years I'm not sure if he planned on putting these into a you know standard stock item that's on his website or not and I know that whenever he made it for Keith I think it was sort of like a test item to see how they work but they seem to be working fine and I had them actually make me two of them this is the standard size for one size Arbor right here and then this one right here what I had him do was cut the these two middle slots wider to fit the larger Arbor which is going to be this guy right here inch and a quarter arbors the running bushings are 2 and 1/8 diameter right there so what I had him do was cut these a little bit bigger so that if I grabbed an arbor and it's got the running bushing on it like that that it will fit inside this slot right there how it's supposed to work and you just hang it so you both that on the wall and then you got a proper rack there to hang your long arbors on which is actually the way that you're supposed to store these things is in a hanging manner so that you don't actually bend the the arbor shaft on there the spindle because I got two of those that have the the larger the inch and a quarter size bushings on there so this will be working for that and then these are the two standard sizes right there and then this one right here of course they're all the same and it'll fit this size which is a 1 inch 1 inch Arbor but it'll fit these guys right here if you want to and build a hang and I've got several of these arbors I believe I got either four or five of these arbors so I wanted to have two of them so that could hang all of my arbors including some of these 50 taper stub arbors that I've got I've got a couple of these and this also will work on this one here hang this one just like that on the wall and get him out of the get them out of cabinet from laying over on their side these I've been standing up on the end like that so they're just usually just standing up in the the cabinet which works fine until you reach a hand in there to grab one and then you're you know bumping into them and knocking things over so Paul always does a stand-up job on his fabrication he cuts him out he's got a CNC plasma and then he does all this himself he's a one-man band and breaks him up he puts a nice finish on them and they're ready for paint so this is bare metal right here and what I like to do with mine as I did with my past ones that I got from him I've got the other racks for the welding rods and the grinders is I like to take them to my local powder coat shop and actually having powder coated so that's what I want to do I wanted to show you what they look like before I take them up there so we'll go get these things powder coated and then once I get them back I plan on mounting them on the wall right over in that area there I've got to do a little bit of organizing and move some stuff out of the way but I plan on put both of them behind the milling machine there on that wall I've got the pedestal grinder now moved which I'll show you that and it will mount those on the wall and we'll have all of our arbors hanging on the wall there so thank you very much Paul these things are beautiful and also threw in one of his cool hats there so thank you for the Hat Paul I appreciate it so since getting the Baldor buffer I put a little bit of use on it there's been a few little projects I've done in the last week or so that I've come over and used this will to do some polishing and deburring I'm actually not happy with with this wheel I'm not happy with the quality of the wheel I'm not happy with the how how firm it is and this is the medium one they do have one that's slightly softer than this but I think I want to just go back to my other wheel which is this guy right here alright so this is the one that I've been using for a while and my other that other grinder that I got this is the scotch brite this is very soft and pliable and I think it does a better job than the the hard will this this creates a little bit more bounce on your part if it's not absolutely true this one's a little bit more forgiving because it's more soft and cushiony okay and it's it's been well used but there's a lot of life left in this and I'll buy this off of Amazon I've got this one listed on my Amazon store there so the other problem now is having is everything is just way too loose on this thing okay the these are the bushings that I got to support the wheels okay three quarter to one inch there's just too much there's too much movement in there okay so I couldn't get anything to run true the the wheels are running out not only was this and running out the wire wheels run it out but we're gonna get to that one after this right now I'm just getting this side fixed and I'm gonna do some bushings for over there alright so forget these right here what I did I made me a bushing a three quarter to one inch bushing out of some phenolic this is some good material to make these bushings out of it's a little bit more forgiving and you can make it so that you know it's got sort of a interference fit without being too tight you can see that bushing it's not tight but it's not loose either you know I can't just flick it around on there so it's fitting the shaft very close all right and if I go to put it in this wheel right here I've got a real nice fit inside that will see just pushes right in there so we've got a really good close fit on the shaft right there so you shouldn't have yes it very little run out that way radial run-out the other thing I wasn't really happy with was the flanges here these are just cast aluminum flanges and I went ahead and faced both sides and I turned the OD to help balance amount sum this one was the worst one you can see you know how uneven it is there this one was just the center bore was just way out from the from the faces in the OD so I went ahead and face this side I wanted to try to get everything as true as I can all right [Music] [Music] [Music] so we've got everything kind of fixed up about where I need it to be now you know and I put it round on that face and we made sure that side was based out true as well because that was I was pulling it up on there everything was kind of binding up so we got that flange on there and we're gonna put our rotation that way according to the arrow and see that wheel pushes on there nicely you don't have any run-out and then we've got our other flange back up right there we're going to slide on and then this is a spacer that goes on there as well I checked it in a lathe there's really not any run out there these are just parted off pieces of tubing there so I'm gonna put the spacer on there and then we'll put the nut on there and I just draw it up a little bit doesn't take very much all right go ahead and run it that's running so much better than when I first put it on there that thing was just all over the place and you can see a little bit of run out there this is not the shaft bent this is just because the other side is so out of balance as well and this thing is just sitting on the key cedar here so it's just kind of vibrating around on the rubber feet because of the out of balance of the wheels but this is a nine-day difference from what I was getting even with this wheel right here this will was running way out as well because it wasn't centered up these little cheap stamped the bushings they just they don't do very good so it wasn't centering up like it was supposed to on these little bushings so my recommendation is just machine your own bushings if you've got these bow doors checked your backup flanges there and see if they're running out and just you know just tweak everything and try to get it running that's true and smooth as you can by doing minor little repairs like that facing the flanges out and then make your own Bush and it doesn't have to be phenolic but the phenolic works really good you can use nylon bronze whatever you want I just think the phenolic is a little forgiving in allowing a very close fit without it just not going on there because it's too tight all right so this is the way I like using I think I'm just going to keep using this scotch brite will and you know I'll just put this on the shelf and how does it have as a backup for later on I thought I'd point this out just for anybody watching it may not be aware this is a scotch brite we'll see if you can use it for polishing cleaning rust off and deburring parts I'm just I use this wrench as an example right here this is one I use the tighten another you want to use it to brighten something up see it does a really good job right there and it's soft and pliable so I'm kind of put a little bit of pressure on there and it doesn't feel like it's bouncing off of it so there you go just a little example if you got like parts that you're machining and you've got little burrs on them you can come over here and real quickly hit them on this wheel right there and knock those burrs off and polish off any kind of like machining marks on them - all right I decided to make a modification on the wire wheel side of the the new baldor - what I think may improve it I have not put this on there yet but I wanted to go ahead and teach you up to speed so this has been mounted on there and you know when I round man at this and the other wheel on there I was getting a lot of vibration out of it okay the the shaft runs nice and throughs can be and then when you mount the wheels on turn on it almost looks like the shafts bent because it's so much so much vibration they'd see about getting it tightened up it's probably not pulled up square so this is how these wills come this is an 8 inch wire will that comes with a 2 inch bore there and then you can get these bushings these are what they call the bushings right here and they just fit inside that bore just pieces of stamped metal okay all right so that's what I had in there and you can see this one I had actually been a little bit because when I first installed it I was trying to pull it up and I couldn't get things figured out but I I finally got it so anyway with those mounted in there right here's your flange backups which we we just machine those but even without a machined whenever these are pulled up like that they're not even touching this area of the the backup flange right here alright I mean they're they're kind of pushing up into this area of the casting so it's not pulling up square so I made I made some my own bushings that I think might work out of a piece of vinyl but by the way I did face both of them I turned the Odie's on both of them and face the backside you can see how how I did square the bore was on these things so these things are sitting there wobbling and not pulling up square [Laughter] so these are the nylon bushings that I made I made me a little sketch right here of what I wanted to do so they match up with the OD of these backup disc right there 3/4 bore 2-inch shoulder right here so like a little 2 inch stub that will fit that wire wheel right there and I've got them a very close fit I just pushed it in there like that so there's no looseness there's no bouncing around see push that one in there on that side and as far as the thickness goes I just wanted to make sure that I made them thick enough so that whenever the flange here the backup flange is pushing against it they're not like deflecting and it stays kind of flat so I made them a total of 5/8 wide I'm showing you this in case anybody wants to do this hopefully this is going to work out so the step was 3/16 I'm sorry 5/16 and then the flange thickness was also 5/16 for a total 5/8 on the total width there alright so let's go put this on the grinder and see if it works any better now all right let's see here we go let's go ahead and put the back up flanges on right there there's a little key that's what the key ways forward to line that up keep it from spinning go ahead and install one of our bushings got a nice little press fit in there press it in by hand gets the shaft nicely let's get the other side on there everything pushes together right there all right back up flange machines that's looking good that looks nice all right so we're not going to be able to use our spacer right there it's just too thick I could go face that off really all want to do is just put a washer on there I've got this sae washer right there for 5/8 so I need to go I'm gonna go to the six jaw and just open this up slightly just so it'll just fit over that thread and then I will finish tighten it up all right Abbey's out here making sure that this is gonna work she just came out here to say hello there's the washer that I just bored out to three-quarter and this is our left hand thread side right here go ahead and throw it up our nut and I just hold the shaft by hand and just just lightly tighten it there's really no reason for it to have to be any tighter than that right there so let me plug it in over here let's give it a shot nice a lot better than what it was doing what that thing was vibrating really bad so much better now this is the will is running nice and straight I don't see it you know doing this as it's turning and when you come over here to use it you're not bouncing around everywhere that's cool there's you a little bit more of a straight-on shot very nice so I've got about as much out of as I can get the rest of its gonna be in the manufacturing of the will and you can see as it slows down that the OD is actually not running true right there I just kind of bump it so that's where that's where the rest of the run out is gonna be is that right there but I think hopefully we can just use it like it is and start wearing it in maybe it'll true itself up as we come over here and use it I'm real happy with that alright here's a full frontal view of the new bow door I like it so it's gonna sit right here for now and this is a temporary location I do have plans to make a dedicated pedestal just for this grinder so that's a project that's on the list I need to go write it on the whiteboard I think I got it right down already but uh it'll work pretty good right here for right now so I'm happy with how that turned out you guys might check these on if you've got one of these bad or buffers and see if maybe yours need to be trimmed if it's causing any issues there that up but for mine it helped out quite a bit alright so there's that I wanted to point out I finally got the Queen City pedestal grinder moved over here to this side as I mention in a previous video we ran a circuit here just for me to hook it in we've got our circuit for our key cedar and in our electric press right there as well so we got it setting over here I've got it level on the on the base down there so it's sitting nice and square and I'm real happy with it and just for now I've got me a little clip light up there plugged in and it works good you can see it kind of puts a nice light right there over it whenever I'm grinding but I would like to add me some more of these LEDs along this area right here just to kind of brighten up the area here where the grinders are gonna be I'd also like to maybe put me one or two more in this area right in here to kind of help brighten up the area over the welding table I don't think it looks that bad in a video but when you're actually here in person I could use a little bit more light right in there all right let's see what else was I gonna show you there's the bars that we worked on this right here is a job that I got to get started on this is another job for my mom and Fernando you know he's always helping me with the electrical so I got to help him out whenever they're needing a problem this is for their camper they've got a 90s something model RV that they use and every now and then they have to you know fix something on it this is the hydraulic pump on it for the hydraulic levelers you know I've got that hydraulic cylinder that I repaired you know a few months back I've got a video on that the welded cylinder well whenever he installed that he was having issues with the hydraulic pump so he took the motor this is not the motor this is one that we're gonna try to adapt right here okay this is the motor right here United Technologies automotive and he took this down to Escambia electric the local electric motor shop to see about getting it rebuilt and they said that this thing is bad and they can't it can't be rebuilt as what they said there's the brushes down there on the on the end of it so he hasn't had any luck being able to fix this motor so that he can put it back in the hydraulic pump and get the hydraulics working the valve body bolts to the top of this right there and he says there is a ton of lines and wires and everything coming into that and he'd really like to just build I put this unit right back on so all he's got to do is just bolt it in and go so he's got this hydraulic motor right here to come off of a different pump that he wants to see if I can adapt to the the actual pump right there so I've got some machining to do I got some head-scratching to do on the machine that's going to be required to make that work I'm gonna have to make a stub shaft that will connect the two together I've got I've got one in here this is this is what was used to drive this guy right there but this motor right here is what obviously fits in there it fits a bearing and then it fits up into you see you got the two flats there and that's what it looks like up inside so this is my next project I'm going to work on this this coming week and hopefully get this one done and of course I'll take some video and and show you how this is going and I'm sure by that time I'll have it done and somebody will say hey I've got one of these sitting around on myself you can have it but I tell you what if any of you guys do see this right here and you got one that you know is a direct replacement that works please email me and let me know because it wouldn't be bad to have an actual spare for this unit right here since they said that you can't get this part anymore they've already tried sourcing it they can't get it something else I wanted to touch on is I had some comments about labeling and marking the cords and the receptacles for the high voltage and low voltage things like that and that's what I've been working on I made a couple comments and said yes that's what we've been doing and we've been marking it in the equipment as well the lines that are the high voltage so this this one right here goes to the G&E okay and it is a on the 240 volt receptacles and plugs I use a 30 amp plug okay and you see how that looks so 30 amp so I've got it marked on there I got it marked on the plug I got these tags on here now to 480 volt I've got this one added for the Smith & Mill shaper more to come on that I did find out that it's wired for high voltage so I added a receptacle right there alright the 480 volt receptacles and plugs are a 20 amp so the 20 amp will not fit into that and then the 240 volt one that so you can't interchange them and blow yourself up and burn the shot down and I know that it's possible yes but highly unlikely that I'm gonna do that but anyway I thought some of you guys some of you guys might appreciate that I've been getting the everything plugged all the plugs marked I mean put a little sticker there sticker there I was gonna put some signs up but all the signs that I found are like ginormous and too big I got this right here 480 volts as well 20 amp receptacle and plug for the Oliver drill pointer you see we've got our plug mark right there alright so this one that's a dedicated circuit for the Oliver and then when we come over here to the K and T because that's kind of where all this started as I mentioned this was the main power to feed the motor for the gearbox 240 volt alright we've got it marked I've got it I've got it tagged 30 amp receptacle and then here's our 480 volt line right here 20 amp receptacle and I've got it marked I've got a tag on there as well alright the work that Fernando did inside the box is also indicated so that anybody that might come behind me knows what's going on in here alright so but for now this is how we're gonna operate the milk we're just gonna have both those plugged in and that's what's going to work for me and I did a job for it this week and and it worked out real good so far so good so I think that's going to be about it for the content I got for you for this week's S&S and hopefully you enjoyed and come on back next week and I'll have some more fun stuff to share with you alright I'm down here at the powder coat shop Gulf Coast powder coating also velocity restorations and Cody and the guys got my ZT fab rack brackets finished up we got them wrapped up so I'll just we'll take them out at the house so that you can see what they look like Cody really hooked me up this was a one day turnaround I brought down here yesterday and they finished them up yesterday evening so I come down here this morning to pick them up but what I wanted to show you guys just give you sort of like a little look at their business here velocity restorations they do full-on restorations of all generations of Bronco including Scouts and they work on just about everything though as well and I talked to Cody about possibly doing a shop tour here which they're totally open for that so we might talk about do and I are scheduling some kind of shocked or I can come down here and show you guys what it is they do because they make some amazing Broncos down here there's one sitting in the door right there that they're just finishing up there's a Mustang they're probably one of their customer projects that they're working on though the powder coating is like a side business that they started because they were doing they've been doing powder coating for themselves for a long time for their build so they just went ahead and open it up like a separate business where they take in other customer work as well so we'll come back down here another time and I'll give you guys a full shop tour of velocity and then show you all of their capabilities here and show you some of the builds some of the stuff that they do it's really amazing the work that they do here on all these old Broncos and scouts so let's head on back to the shop from now and I'll check out our new GT fab racks to spend powder-coated all right let's cut these bad boys open and take a look see but they look like in person now it looks awesome maybe I'm not unwrapping knowing that he'd wrap them up there we go there's there's the first one right there it looks good nice even coverage ends are covered good this is this is sort of a standard color a lot of people like this color this is the same color that I put on the ZT fab welding cart as well and the TIG welding rod brackets that's the silver vein is what it is and you can get this vein texture in any kind of color you want really they have six thousand color possibilities for uh powder coating alright here's the it was the second one looking good nice job I love having these guys I mean they're literally right down the road from me and I've got good connections with them so I actually think that I want to utilize their service so more often when I have some smaller projects that need to be stay painted instead of me worrying about paying because I hate painting I hate setting up for painting I might just see about taking some projects like this down there and just have them you know powder-coated I've got an idea and possibly doing one of my eight-inch Reid vices powder coating instead of me painting it so this is something that I would like to do in a future project is you know the vise and have it powder coated like that so all right well the next time you guys see these hopefully they're going to be mounted on the wall and we'll have our arbors hanging on them and thanks again Paul over at Z T fab for making these brackets for me be sure to contact Paul if you're interested in some of these or any of his shop organization devices that he that he makes for the shop there and looking forward to possibly doing a shop tour down there velocity and show you guys what their capabilities up with those Broncos that they built [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you
