It just looks like it is in reverse due to the frame rate vs the actual rotation of the bit. Think how wagon wheels appeared to be running backwards in the old westerns.
No it's forward.. It's just looking like it's in the reverse position if you don't think so try it and record it and just use a large bit and watch your video it'll show the same motion. LoL 😅 for real..
Nope, thought the same thing first, but the drills and seemingly the rest of this guys tools are just that dull. Don't take advice from a guy who doesn't know how to sharpen his tools.

On behalf of my best friend David that was recently killed in Australia due to an angle grinding accident, I urge people to think twice before modifying an angle grinder. David was using his angle grinder with the correct size blade and it had a guard fitted. Yet the machine jammed and a small piece of the disc broke off and hit him in the leg and cut through his femoral artery. He died alone at home before help arrived. Family and friends are still suffering from his loss. Please don't make angle grinders any more dangerous than they already are.
@@tarheelcountry1868 I can't believe how many wonderful people there are out there. It's overwhelming. Thank you kind Sir. David was a very shy and modest guy and he would be embarrassed to see how many people in this world actually care so much, in his name. Thank you Tar Heel Country and thanks to everyone else that left such lovely comments.
I'm real sorry to hear that. My friend nearly died from a cutoff wheel coming apart and hitting him in the neck, and damn near bled out before paramedics arrived. I had a router bit blow, and catch me just above the collar bone 27 years ago. I still have the scar, and numbness. The point is, even when tools are used properly, accidents, or failures can happen. My main angle grinder runs at 13.000 rpm., and has one he'll of a kick when started. Most non-variable speed grinders run between 11.000, to my 13.000 rpm's which is one hell of a lot more than a lathe, and most variable speed ones are rather cheap consumer grade, and would be very hard to guage accurately for a proper rotating speed to approximate a real lathe. Imagine realistically how many "uses" you'd get out of this "lathe" with all that unbalanced mass loaded against the arbor, and the only workpiece retention is a bolt through a scrap of wood screwed together on the other end. It's going to fail in a bad way. Someone is going to get smoked in the face at the least. Always treat power tools with respect, and please... NEVER modify a power tool outside it's intended purpose. This should be considered entertainment only.
SCREW THAT! I am a tradesman wood machinist who has had his share of chomped fingers over the years. This is an accident waiting to happen at worst, outright power tool abuse at best. I could easily see someone trying this with a grinder that is not speed variable and the entire rig disintegrating in their face at 13000 rpm

Used to be a Manager of a Harbor Freight Tools store and sold cheap $20 side grinders, had a customer that wanted to modify it with one of our 4" table saw blades to make a tool to cut baseboards to put down tile or hardwood floors. We sold a tool for this. Had adjustable depth, and reach but it was about $60. The side grinders had a 5/8" arbor, and the 4" wheel had a 1/2" hole. The side grinder ran at 20,000 RPM, the table saw blade with Carbide teeth had a Max RPM of 6500. He wanted to Redhill the table saw blade up to 5/8". I told him that it would have to be completely concentric or else it would be off center and wobble like an Egg. He planned on using a Reostat speed controller to slow the grinder down, so I told him that most grinders really didn't run like that, and would bog down and shut off if they didn't get enough power. About 2 weeks later he came in. His right hand was bandaged up, and he told Me that he should have listened. He tried His idea, had to run it without the Speed Control, it started to vibrate so bad He dropped it, that blade broke into several pieces, one about took his thumb off, and parts of the carbide tips fragmented like shrapnel into his forearm before he could get clear. He bought to Side mounted Cut off saw to cut his baseboards. I did give him his Money back on the grinder as it was undamaged.
this is why tools that rotate at high speeds always have soo many warnings on them! there's always one guy that thinks he a innovator and ends up losing a hand. But at least this guy admitted he was wrong and learned to not do that again.
reminds me of the scene in the movie hot rod where bill hater is grinding and a piece flies into his brow, I once used a grinder to grind through a hydraulic cylinder, that didn't go well, out of all the tools in your shop the grinder is the most likely to injure you.
@@victorleskiv any tool is dangerous if used incorrectly or for the wrong job, that's why its crucial to be educated about the tool and to only use it for what's its intended for and safely
Awesome video, thank you! I did it in my garage and it works perfectly. Now I`m missing one eye and four fingers, but hey: passion takes sacrifices! Please upload more, keep these great videos coming! Genius!
I had a lot of old pipes and rebar to cut up and from what I read th-cam.com/users/postUgkxPDBfLu68o58Aw85O_J-zIFfjJARBhp-3 this would be the tool for the job. Since I had never used one, I watched a couple of youtube videos and I'm so glad I did. Some really good safety tips, which I followed, and this tool did a splendid job. One good thing to know is the weight of the tool puts just about the right amount of pressure on the metal I was cutting, so I didn't have to use a lot of pressure, which is more likely to jam the tool. It made fast work of my job.
This has inspired me! I'm going to do the same thing with an old 250cc two stroke dirt bike I have. I'm going to make it into a lathe. I'm just going to hook stuff to where the sprocket goes. Just imagine I'll be able to turn trees that are 18 to 25 in thick. Watch for the video in upcoming series I'm going to call death of a diy-er.
My dad knew a guy that turned a rear axle and 4 speed manual transmission into a metal lathe. It actually worked fairly decent. He could control his speed and even pitch threads.
Bro! And you have inspired me to grab some wood and turn my car into a lathe. With voice control!! "Son, daddy wants you to step on the gas", "Son, Son too much gas!"
Well I can at least give you a tip. When watching videos like this click the settings and change the playback speed to 1.5x so it doesnt waste AS MUCH of your time
i put a centre bolt in a length of wood & a second with a sharp tip and drag it round , without any power tools , perfect circle every time any size , i can carve a wagon wheel outta a barn door with little effort
Bruh also. People can diy lathes and it be safe. I had the honor or working with a badass artist who did. He shipped solid wood stools to japan that weight 50-60 lbs fat! Whole thing done on lathe
Had a guy borrow my grinder with the blade guard on properly. He took off the guard, and returned the grinder to me with the tip of his finger cut off and bleeding profusely on my grinder. Had a hell of a time getting that blood off and reattaching the guard before I took him to the ER.
Use a two speed mains powered drill. Angle grinder runs way too fast for this. Most lathes don't go above 2000rpm. Pretty sure most angle grinders at at least 5x that.
If I wanted 6” long table legs I think I’d just go buy them at the home improvement store. But put those studs on a battery powered side grinder and it would make a formidable weapon at the Renaissance festival
@@manikandanganesh977 The reason nobody tells you about the angle grinder hack is because it's so dangerous, anyone who does it is likely to lose fingers.
@@manikandanganesh977 Angle grinders are used primarily to remove unwanted METAL after welding and/or brasing... Now whaddaya think it's gonna do to a human hand if someone ain't payin' attention??
I saw almost the same thing on Amazon for $2,432.00. I bought it, but thanks for all your work and dedication. Really, tho, that's a lot of work and planning that you put into that hack and I appreciated it for that reason. I "liked". Good luck with your channel.
@@TF856 they do actually make milling rigs for chainsaws... brilliant invention but yeah somewhat dangerous, who wants to haul a saw mill everywhere? Safety first but only when it is convenient.
Admittedly I guessed what you were making , but very ingenious. As a young schoolboy I was dragged off the wood lathe so other members of the wood work class could have a go , fruit bowls and candle sticks , made for my grandmother’s . A funny story in my adult life was being bitten by an ultra long lathe for turning rams for hydraulic cranes , my boss managed to remove half of my left thumb with it . He swung it on to my hand while it was suspended from an overhead crane , I was lucky as it hit my shoulder first should of taken my arm off . Excellent machine though …
If you sharpen your drill bits properly, they will product shavings instead of dust - and cut much easier & faster. A cheap set of wood turning gouges will cut MUCH better than scraping across a flat chisel. The flat chisel isn’t much better than a screwdriver. A face shield might save you an eye when you’re learning. I have some good size dents in my workshop ceiling from shattered or ejected turning blanks.
Great job 👍👏👏 I likey invention man it's amazing how you come up with things and introduce them to the public... PERFECT I SAY..!.. Hey just a question haven't you made a homemade lumber saw from a long to lumber.?? If so can you share it with us (me) .?????
If I wanted a lathe , Harbor freight tools has a really nice bench top lathe and is much more safe than this setup which is very dangerous because of the high speed of an angle grinder , Even with the speed turned down , You have to start at a very low speed because your stock is gonna be out of balance and running it that fast can launch that piece of wood and you have no idea where it's gonna go and possibly hit you right in the face or forehead Back in high school , One guy was turning a baseball bat on the lathe and he turned up the speed to finish sand it , He didn't realize that the wood was off balance and it shot out of the lathe and hit him on the bridge of his nose , He was very lucky to be alive and had to have reconstructive surgery on his face and plastic surgery , For safety's sake Buy yourself a lathe instead of trying to make one because if that piece of wood comes flying out of there and hits you in the head can kill you , A lathe will cost much less than ending up in the hospital
But the person in your example used a proper lathe and still got hurt, so why not just build one like in video? If you're gonna get hurt might as well save some money.
I watch videos like this, with a combination of apprehension, anxiety and morbid curiosity. Wondering aloud just what kind of batsh!t crazy idea is coming to fruition before my very eyes. As I watch this video I find myself wondering aloud, what the hell, could it be? What sort of maiming device has he come up with now? Is it meant to simply to amputate fingers? Act as a blunt force trauma machine? Perhaps simultaneously disembowel and eviscerate? Maybe he has gone all in on the trifecta with this one and it is ALL of the above...
On top of what others have said about this, using a bench chisel as a turning tool is an accident waiting to happen as well. The tang from a bench chisel is far weaker and one good catch it will snap and you will have a piece of metal jutting out the back of your hand the way you are holding it.
This guy solved world peace on his break from doing this. And then I myself took a piece of titanium yesterday and widdled a pirate ship out of it with just my thoughts inside of a glass bottle.
The reason NOBODY will tell you about this is , LIABILITY............ Nobody wants to be sued because you did this and ended up in the emergency department of your local hospital.
I mean I guess the world we live in now you have to tell people, hey if you dont use this as directed you will be hurt or cause damage...But then again how do you think all the inventions we have now were made?...by those kids that used stuff how it wasnt.... LOL
This is the best advertisement for the development of a common maker space in your area. He has saved hundreds of dollars with this rig that he might only need to use once. A communal tool shop is the best answer. For the small membership fee you have access to the right equipment and a community willing to advise and help.
I would like to make a Man's lathe with a 9 inch industrial grinder. That will have plenty of torque. I am just a bit worried when I start the up. If I don't get everything running even and true it may chase me round the shed.
One thing that they taught me when I was in my carpentry apprenticeship.... Every tool in your tool box will at one time in its life, be used as a hammer.....Except chisels. Those are screw drivers! 😅
The vibrations will ruin the gearbox pretty soon though. On lathes you have the spindle connected to the motor through a belt. So that vibrations caused by excentricity of the rotating piece you're working on don't get transferred onto the motor shaft (bearings) and rather dissipate along the elastic belt. The RPM are too high as well. And I wouldn't want to be around when that piece of wood rotating at 25k snaps off the spindle...
True indeed , If that piece of wood comes flying out of there and hits you in the face or the forehead , Can kill you , True indeed about the gearbox and the bearings , An actual lathe has much heftier bearings to withstand vibration from out of balance and vibration caused by tooling the piece of wood , Back in high school , one guy was turning a baseball bat on the lathe and when he went to finish sanding it , He turned the speed up too high and the wood was out of balance , It shot right out of there and struck him on the bridge of his nose He was very lucky to be alive and ended up in the hospital and needed reconstructive surgery and plastic surgery , For safety's sake , Use an angle grinder for it's intended purpose only
@@catlady8324 True too , Whatever lathe you buy will cost much than ending up in the hospital , I myself use my angle grinder for it's intended purpose only , Using power tools to do things they're not designed for is an accident waiting to happen
Oh dear, blunt drill bit was irritating, so easy to fix but then it got worse. Blunt chisel used as a scraper, scary bit of wobble in the system as pressure is applied, what could possible go wrong. I hope no one copies this idea. The rules of natural selection unfortunately sometimes apply. Fast moving appliances need to be precise and treated with respect.
Right, you’ll only try once to take off more metal than the cutter can manage! Emergency stop button saves my day..... here though, when cak and fan collide, somebody is gonna have a real bad day.
Actually look closely. He used a metal bushing as an insert to hold it in place. I imagine he had problems with the wood flying off. Good prototype. Not ready for prime time.
All fun and games until the grinder throws the wood at you at high speed.. accident waiting to happen. (I tried turning wood by attaching it directly to a 7000 rpm 1hp motor when I was little, sort of learned the hard way how dangerous that could be.)
That contraption took forever to make, and you've ended up with a dodgy lathe you'd never trust, an angle grinder you can't use any more, and wasted many hours of your life, as well as hundreds of hours of us viewers, decent bits and pieces of various materials gone down the pan, light and power..................this seems a good idea - can you make something to warm up the ocean a bit?
By the time you made that Jig & Set up & produced pc of Wood, I went to Lowes & got a Wooden Dowl put it in a drill & made the same thing in shorter time
Nice ingenuity. However, I think I’m gonna make a giant band saw powered by the 454 Chevrolet sitting in my garage. Seriously though, that was king of neat.
May not be the safest or reliable, but the man shows genuine ingenuity. Props for the imagination it takes to create a tool like this. The world needs more brains and less violence.
A few notes... Add a guard to keep wood shavings out of the grinder. Otherwise it won't last very long. Put the disc guard back on the grinder when using it for grinding. It might have kept your finger safer. And when using drill bits, make sure the drill is set to rotate in the proper direction. Sharp bits also help...
I applaud your imagination it looks really cool, that said, as an EMT 1st responder I have answered more calls than I'd like to admit pertaining to homemade tools just like these, certain tools are set at certain rpm's with,and certain torque values and particular braces and hardware they have certain functions that are set for certain jobs without overloading the units, im sure if it's used sparingly maybe you'll be ok but if your not CERTAIN of you "homemade" skills than this type of thing is where I'm the most buissyest please think if it's worth your face and hands b4 attempting making something like this the consequences could be permanent 😉 happy woodworking!!!
I feel like this could work, if absolutely needed, maybe in an apocalypse situation, but maybe the blood when it fails, will draw zombies... Kinda up in the air. But will be added to my prepping arsenal.
There's a reason that nearly every angle grinder I've seen you have continuously have to squeeze the switch on the handle, what did you hold it on with a zip tie
Yeah it's a safety mechanism because they're f****** dangerous. Angle grinder is without a doubt the most dangerous tool that exists. It's more dangerous than a skill saw it's more dangerous than a table saw and a chainsaw. The only thing that is near similar to it would be if you were using the end of the bar of a chainsaw to make cuts. For some reason nobody teaches quadrants. Oh in the chainsaw attachment that was created for angle grinders and marketed to the layman every day DIYer is downright criminal in my opinion. Numerous people have been killed from that device and ankle grinders in general. Because at the end of the day they do not understand quadrants
That maybe intriguing but that is so insanely deadly. The RPMS you’re dealing with, as well as standard bolts, all you need is one loose bolt or nut and you will be calling an ambulance. Please don’t try that.
@@Canibal_Animal im quite sure im not wrong. The tool he used has a regulation, looks more like a polisher and those are adjustable within 600-2800 rpm range and have a slow start too.
@@Sahtzor say what now? Its obviously a cheap 4" angle grinder. All 4" angle grinders run at 11-12k rpm. I don't know what you're looking at. The screw on parts on the threaded shaft are to mount a cutoff/grinding disc. Google "4 inch angle grinder and get back to me.
You can use a lot of tools for off-label projects!!! It amazes me how many people don't realize you can use a drill press as a router or a router table with jigs!!! I have a very old drill press owners manual that shows you how to use your drill press as a router or router table !!!!

Had a guy borrow my grinder with the blade guard on properly. He took off the guard, and returned the grinder to me with the tip of his finger cut off and bleeding profusely on my grinder. Had a hell of a time getting that blood off and reattaching the guard before I took him to the ER.
I didn't know wood workers were so witty and ruthless at the same time. The responses worth the wait.
Amazing that that guy has all 10 fingers.
4 hand actors were maimed in the filming of this 'wonderful hack'
Next week we shall be watching a chainsaw being turned into a kids jack in the box.
Man that is bloody brilliant!. I was just given half of a small laythe. Now I can rig up the other side. Thank you so much! 🙏🙏🇦🇺
Use a two speed mains powered drill. Angle grinder runs way too fast for this. Most lathes don't go above 2000rpm. Pretty sure most angle grinders at at least 5x that.
“Hey let’s take the most dangerous tool in almost anyone’s garage and make it even more dangerous”
It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye because one end of the piece loosens up and it come flying out at you at 200mph.
Gonna dust off the old wood lathe and turn it into a grinder this weekend
Classic
Haha was just thinking why did I watch that all the way through.
Yep.
Thanksgiving’s coming soon -
I think I’ll take one of my model 77 worm drives & turn it into a ‘rotary turkey knife’ this weekend…*
*angle grinder.
@@jamesrodgers9524 lol
first three minutes: *bewilderment*
next three minutes: please tell me he isn't trying to make a lathe
final three minutes: oh dear god
There's 8 minutes of my life I'll never get back
If I wanted 6” long table legs I think I’d just go buy them at the home improvement store. But put those studs on a battery powered side grinder and it would make a formidable weapon at the Renaissance festival
Only if it was cordless 😉
With a cordless grinder you could attach to a bike tire and get there effortlessly
Amazing, if I can find any time, I have to try that. Thank you for your show
Ive been using mine for years. Works great saved me a fortune too.👍
Look mom, I made a wooden leg. Good work son, now you just need to make some wooden fingers to replace the ones you lost.

Can you explain a bit more in detail. Am not able to visualise how can one lose fingers. I can understand a throwback but losing fingers.
@@manikandanganesh977 The reason nobody tells you about the angle grinder hack is because it's so dangerous, anyone who does it is likely to lose fingers.
@@manikandanganesh977 Angle grinders are used primarily to remove unwanted METAL after welding and/or brasing... Now whaddaya think it's gonna do to a human hand if someone ain't payin' attention??
Can't stress this enough -
THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE RIGHT JOB
... And This AIN'T IT !
I saw almost the same thing on Amazon for $2,432.00. I bought it, but thanks for all your work and dedication. Really, tho, that's a lot of work and planning that you put into that hack and I appreciated it for that reason. I "liked". Good luck with your channel.
Super cool little build... God damn dangerous as hell too.
😳
Tip for watching DIY videos, set your playback speed to 2. You can always go back if you need to.
@@screwsinabell that's what I do👍
That is a better hack than this clip lmao
Now make an angle grinder out of a lathe.
Gonna be on Hell of a angle grinder straight cut through anything
How about pointing that chainsaw blade straight up and put a table on top of that grinder motor and make a table saw.
Or have you done that already? 😁
lol
@@TF856 I'm speechless
@@TF856 they do actually make milling rigs for chainsaws... brilliant invention but yeah somewhat dangerous, who wants to haul a saw mill everywhere? Safety first but only when it is convenient.
Are those drill bits for masonry? Seemed quite the effort.
The so-called ‘lathe’ is the most stupid idea but the wisdom I found in the ‘comments’ is priceless! Thanks!!
I was waiting for the chisel to catch and fly up through his eyeball.
I always wondered why no one would tell me this angle grinder hack. Now I know..
Maybe we can get The Den of tools to review it
Admittedly I guessed what you were making , but very ingenious. As a young schoolboy I was dragged off the wood lathe so other members of the wood work class could have a go , fruit bowls and candle sticks , made for my grandmother’s . A funny story in my adult life was being bitten by an ultra long lathe for turning rams for hydraulic cranes , my boss managed to remove half of my left thumb with it . He swung it on to my hand while it was suspended from an overhead crane , I was lucky as it hit my shoulder first should of taken my arm off . Excellent machine though …
If you sharpen your drill bits properly, they will product shavings instead of dust - and cut much easier & faster.
A cheap set of wood turning gouges will cut MUCH better than scraping across a flat chisel. The flat chisel isn’t much better than a screwdriver.
A face shield might save you an eye when you’re learning. I have some good size dents in my workshop ceiling from shattered or ejected turning blanks.
Safety 3rd! Keep the hacks coming! Darwin Awards will be given out at the end.

do you wear safety glasses?…at least the first time you power up?
I find it amazing that he still has his fingers lmao
When I was looking up homemade tools to fiddle with my wood - I didn't expect this... My search continues.
Shhh, you'll give him ideas for other things to build with a grinder... And nobody wants to see that! 🤮
Great job 👍👏👏 I likey invention man it's amazing how you come up with things and introduce them to the public... PERFECT I SAY..!..
Hey just a question haven't you made a homemade lumber saw from a long to lumber.??
If so can you share it with us (me) .?????
If I wanted a lathe , Harbor freight tools has a really nice bench top lathe and is much more safe than this setup which is very dangerous because of the high speed of an angle grinder , Even with the speed turned down , You have to start at a very low speed because your stock is gonna be out of balance and running it that fast can launch that piece of wood and you have no idea where it's gonna go and possibly hit you right in the face or forehead
Back in high school , One guy was turning a baseball bat on the lathe and he turned up the speed to finish sand it , He didn't realize that the wood was off balance and it shot out of the lathe and hit him on the bridge of his nose , He was very lucky to be alive and had to have reconstructive surgery on his face and plastic surgery , For safety's sake
Buy yourself a lathe instead of trying to make one because if that piece of wood comes flying out of there and hits you in the head can kill you , A lathe will cost much less than ending up in the hospital
Yeah. This can’t end well…
I actually have the Gründer shown..I got it from Harbor Frieght...lol
But the person in your example used a proper lathe and still got hurt, so why not just build one like in video? If you're gonna get hurt might as well save some money.
I watch videos like this, with a combination of apprehension, anxiety and morbid curiosity. Wondering aloud just what kind of batsh!t crazy idea is coming to fruition before my very eyes. As I watch this video I find myself wondering aloud, what the hell, could it be? What sort of maiming device has he come up with now? Is it meant to simply to amputate fingers? Act as a blunt force trauma machine? Perhaps simultaneously disembowel and eviscerate? Maybe he has gone all in on the trifecta with this one and it is ALL of the above...
😂
lock in D: All of the above...
AND THATS CORRECT FOR 10 FINGERS!
You win!
On top of what others have said about this, using a bench chisel as a turning tool is an accident waiting to happen as well. The tang from a bench chisel is far weaker and one good catch it will snap and you will have a piece of metal jutting out the back of your hand the way you are holding it.
Thanks for showing 4 (FOUR!) times how to screw a nut on a bolt! That is very difficult and I don't think I could manage without four examples!
This guy solved world peace on his break from doing this. And then I myself took a piece of titanium yesterday and widdled a pirate ship out of it with just my thoughts inside of a glass bottle.
World peace is a coming deception
This is the title of a Facebook page that I run.
The reason NOBODY will tell you about this is , LIABILITY............
Nobody wants to be sued because you did this and ended up in the emergency department of your local hospital.
it should be considered personal responsibility
LOL I love this guy, he makes the craziest shit and then laughs at comments.
😂😂
I mean I guess the world we live in now you have to tell people, hey if you dont use this as directed you will be hurt or cause damage...But then again how do you think all the inventions we have now were made?...by those kids that used stuff how it wasnt.... LOL
...because you have no business being around tools home made or otherwise!
This is the best advertisement for the development of a common maker space in your area. He has saved hundreds of dollars with this rig that he might only need to use once. A communal tool shop is the best answer. For the small membership fee you have access to the right equipment and a community willing to advise and help.
I would like to make a Man's lathe with a 9 inch industrial grinder. That will have plenty of torque. I am just a bit worried when I start the up. If I don't get everything running even and true it may chase me round the shed.
Did anyone else notice the bolt on the right was about to start a friction fire,
@Mr Guru yeah because sawdust everywhere isn't flammable at all.
@Mr Guru the only loser here is you, bud. What a super-duper-keyboard-warrior you are! Such a badass!
Am I crazy or did everyone tell me when I was a kid”only use a tool for its intended designed purpose”?
One thing that they taught me when I was in my carpentry apprenticeship.... Every tool in your tool box will at one time in its life, be used as a hammer.....Except chisels. Those are screw drivers! 😅
Excellent thanks
EXCELLENT!!!!! Thank for sharing 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
It was great.... I used it to make a hand railing 8" tall.
Did you use a 6 X 6? Or 8 X 8?
The vibrations will ruin the gearbox pretty soon though. On lathes you have the spindle connected to the motor through a belt. So that vibrations caused by excentricity of the rotating piece you're working on don't get transferred onto the motor shaft (bearings) and rather dissipate along the elastic belt. The RPM are too high as well. And I wouldn't want to be around when that piece of wood rotating at 25k snaps off the spindle...
True indeed , If that piece of wood comes flying out of there and hits you in the face or the forehead , Can kill you ,
True indeed about the gearbox and the bearings , An actual lathe has much heftier bearings to withstand vibration from out of balance and vibration caused by tooling the piece of wood , Back in high school , one guy was turning a baseball bat on the lathe and when he went to finish sanding it , He turned the speed up too high and the wood was out of balance , It shot right out of there and struck him on the bridge of his nose
He was very lucky to be alive and ended up in the hospital and needed reconstructive surgery and plastic surgery ,
For safety's sake , Use an angle grinder for it's intended purpose only
Next: Dremel powered lathe!
So... he could hook it up to a belt. Granted a variable speed grander would be better suited too? Perhaps?
@@catlady8324 True too , Whatever lathe you buy will cost much than ending up in the hospital , I myself use my angle grinder for it's intended purpose only , Using power tools to do things they're not designed for is an accident waiting to happen
Trueeeee
BRILLIANT!!! Stellar video! 😀👍
I think you can actually buy a mini Lathe for about the same price as the grinder and all the labor
That is why almost nobody.will tell you to make this thing...
About $400 - $600
Grinders are 15$in my country
But where is the fun in that. If you like working with wood, this is way more fun.
Looks like a great way to burn out a perfectly good grinder. Not designed to run for several minutes at a time.
Cool, regardless.
Brilliant...!!...
Meantime... I went to lumber yard...
Think I'm going to put my car up on stands, use the wheel hub as a wood chuck and use it as a lathe! Thanks buddy!
Oh dear, blunt drill bit was irritating, so easy to fix but then it got worse. Blunt chisel used as a scraper, scary bit of wobble in the system as pressure is applied, what could possible go wrong. I hope no one copies this idea. The rules of natural selection unfortunately sometimes apply. Fast moving appliances need to be precise and treated with respect.
Well said. A lot of pieces being held in by soft wood. There's a reason the grinder has a metal body. It moves fast!
Maybe he should have made a drill bit sharpener first and THEN the tiny lathe
Right, you’ll only try once to take off more metal than the cutter can manage!
Emergency stop button saves my day..... here though, when cak and fan collide, somebody is gonna have a real bad day.
I skipped to the end to find he made a fishbonker with no handle.
lol
I think that was the handle?
I thought it was a dildo…
Should rename this "How to make an angle grinder even more dangerous."
OK you got me on the 4 holes bolted and now what can he do with that.. Great work sweet hack.
I’m ready to smoke a doobie now. Lmao

I took a vape rip about 5 minutes ago.
Don't like how the one end doesn't spin and just burns a hole through the work though... Friction will eventually ignite your piece...
I think tailstocks on real lathes don't spin anyway.
@@danielgoodman3578 they make live centers. They have been out for many decades now
Actually look closely. He used a metal bushing as an insert to hold it in place. I imagine he had problems with the wood flying off. Good prototype.
Not ready for prime time.
Love it , great stuff ! 👍
GENIUS! That is the absolute BEST way to burn out an angle grinder motor!
All fun and games until the grinder throws the wood at you at high speed.. accident waiting to happen. (I tried turning wood by attaching it directly to a 7000 rpm 1hp motor when I was little, sort of learned the hard way how dangerous that could be.)
and your rig was still running at about 10,000 RPM SLOWER than this stupid thing.
Not an "hack" but an improper/very dangerous way to use a tool, please don't do that, always use tools the way they are intended to be used.
Now why didn’t I figure that out! Very creative guy or gal!
Wow, thanks for revealing this highly guarded secret. Biggest cover up since JFK.
Use the grinder to sharpen your drill bits and chisel first!
Bro.... it takes less time to drill in real time than with a dull metal bit
Metal bits.... dull AF! lol but cool tho!
That's better than your dangerous chain saw built from an angle grinder.
ah yes, give this commnt a heart. pure logic
Oh god
Bwahahahhahha
AKA: suicide
Hahahahahha Hahaha
Great video any chance can u make a post round knob?? Say 90mm x90mm round ball to put on 100x 100 post?? Thank u
I'm up for this. He'll yeah. Eye protection is a must, though.
That contraption took forever to make, and you've ended up with a dodgy lathe you'd never trust, an angle grinder you can't use any more, and wasted many hours of your life, as well as hundreds of hours of us viewers, decent bits and pieces of various materials gone down the pan, light and power..................this seems a good idea - can you make something to warm up the ocean a bit?
@Peter Dalton 😂
By the time you made that Jig & Set up & produced pc of Wood, I went to Lowes & got a Wooden Dowl put it in a drill & made the same thing in shorter time
th-cam.com/video/z8YjAl_I4ho/w-d-xo.html
Nice ingenuity.
However, I think I’m gonna make a giant band saw powered by the 454 Chevrolet sitting in my garage.
Seriously though, that was king of neat.
How far did you have to screw the dead end into the wood to keep it tight. A little bushing cap and some lube.
May not be the safest or reliable, but the man shows genuine ingenuity. Props for the imagination it takes to create a tool like this. The world needs more brains and less violence.
Yeah, just rename it "Killer Angle Grinder Tool" !
I can see why no body has told me about this hack.
😂😂😂
I liked it. Maybe others can afford new but with cation this would work for me
OUTSTANDING LATHE
Awesome jig
A few notes...
Add a guard to keep wood shavings out of the grinder. Otherwise it won't last very long.
Put the disc guard back on the grinder when using it for grinding. It might have kept your finger safer.
And when using drill bits, make sure the drill is set to rotate in the proper direction. Sharp bits also help...
I can second this from 1 years work cabinets installation. Drills do need to be set to the intended rotation.
I applaud your imagination it looks really cool, that said, as an EMT 1st responder I have answered more calls than I'd like to admit pertaining to homemade tools just like these, certain tools are set at certain rpm's with,and certain torque values and particular braces and hardware they have certain functions that are set for certain jobs without overloading the units, im sure if it's used sparingly maybe you'll be ok but if your not CERTAIN of you "homemade" skills than this type of thing is where I'm the most buissyest please think if it's worth your face and hands b4 attempting making something like this the consequences could be permanent 😉 happy woodworking!!!
I feel like this could work, if absolutely needed, maybe in an apocalypse situation, but maybe the blood when it fails, will draw zombies... Kinda up in the air. But will be added to my prepping arsenal.
Very good , thanks for sharing.🇦🇹😎
So what was the reason that NOBODY will tell you about this, or did I miss that bit?
Because it's incredibly dangerous
There's a reason that nearly every angle grinder I've seen you have continuously have to squeeze the switch on the handle, what did you hold it on with a zip tie
Yeah it's a safety mechanism because they're f****** dangerous. Angle grinder is without a doubt the most dangerous tool that exists. It's more dangerous than a skill saw it's more dangerous than a table saw and a chainsaw. The only thing that is near similar to it would be if you were using the end of the bar of a chainsaw to make cuts.
For some reason nobody teaches quadrants. Oh in the chainsaw attachment that was created for angle grinders and marketed to the layman every day DIYer is downright criminal in my opinion. Numerous people have been killed from that device and ankle grinders in general. Because at the end of the day they do not understand quadrants
YES ! Meccano clamp, haven't seen it used other than for building proper toys or motorcycle battery boxes for at least 40 years, build on
That maybe intriguing but that is so insanely deadly. The RPMS you’re dealing with, as well as standard bolts, all you need is one loose bolt or nut and you will be calling an ambulance. Please don’t try that.
Spoiler alert, he makes a 12,000 rpm lathe that kinda works while being extremely dangerous.
So then put a plexiglass wall up to lessen the risk xD
Its not even close to 12000 rpm
@@Sahtzor see that's where you're wrong. Most all 4" angle grinders run at 11k-12k rpm.
@@Canibal_Animal im quite sure im not wrong. The tool he used has a regulation, looks more like a polisher and those are adjustable within 600-2800 rpm range and have a slow start too.
@@Sahtzor say what now? Its obviously a cheap 4" angle grinder. All 4" angle grinders run at 11-12k rpm. I don't know what you're looking at. The screw on parts on the threaded shaft are to mount a cutoff/grinding disc. Google "4 inch angle grinder and get back to me.
Are wood lathes too expensive???
Some want to try it out before they sink the $1000 in the tool and tooling. Some will only use a lathe once in a while. But this seems dangerous.
awesome back scratcher!
You can use a lot of tools for off-label projects!!!
It amazes me how many people don't realize you can use a drill press as a router or a router table with jigs!!!
I have a very old drill press owners manual that shows you how to use your drill press as a router or router table !!!!
I have seen several videos showing how to use a drill press to tap threads into metal!!!
Also how to use a drill press as a wood lathe!
Even use your drill press as a horizontal table saw with fences!!!
