Evig Power Scraper (Road to a Rebuild #2)

- I bought a rather unusual 42 volt AC Hungarian Power scraper- basically a Hungarian version of the Biax Power scraper. This should significantly speed up the process of rebuilding my 1947 Index Model 40 Milling machine (once I learn how to use it).

I promise I'll still mostly make stuff out of rusty junk and not just buy shiny things with your money.
I admire your restraint when it comes to this particular BOLTR. Sometimes AvE's patter just gets to me. Yours is so calm and therapeutic.
Agreed - AvE's shtick has gotten to be a bit much for the last few years. Jeremy's content is a great mix of ToT and ... I'm not sure what
"One day I'm going to buy a tool and not immediately take it apart" Yah Right! ...Why? Just parted out my new shop vac to check on better bearings :)
Cheers man
Looks like a fun machine. Way better than hand scraping.
Very, very thanks to this video. But I wish to see disassemble and assemble of working and adjustment mechanism of this power scraper.
This scraper is not a copy or clone of Biax. Only outer appearance of it looks like Biax. The mechanism is completely different.
It is the product of intelligence and success, and this should be appreciated.
I would be grateful if you would show us this clever design. I'm sure many people will be equally grateful.
I wish you continued your success.
In the evig united five factory. It was a big company but it terminated in 2001. Its a really cool tool, I never seen it before. The evig made explosion proof tools, electric motors, casting items and small electric tools like this.
That's a lovely looking scraper, Jeremy. Nice find. Looking forward to seeing more, after you have got to grips with it and start doing some scraping on a project. 👍
Totally awesome....can't wait to see the rebuild of your Mill. I also hope (some day) to rebuild my Cochrane bly to preserve it for the next generation
Keith Rucker is scraping in a table at this time.
I have just purchased a similar one of the same seller it’s on route from Hungary great stuff
GREAT FIND
Keith Rucker's latest video is very helpful - he does a ton of scraping on his ancient HBM slide.
I’ve been following that series and I’m looking forward to seeing it.
I was about to mention the same.
Definitely like no other content on TH-cam. 👍👍😎👍👍. Yes, I too am looking very forward to a slow speed carbide grinder build. Not that you’re keeping score, but I’m getting close to finishing watching your entire portfolio. What the heck am I going to do then? Your amazing videos have ruined the rest of TH-cam 😂🤣🤣
If you’re not watching them already, my recommendations would be Rustinox and Inheritance Machining.
@@JeremyMakesThings Yep, both of them channels are awesome too. Of course I got here because of RorarySMP’s YT channel. All of you are so interesting and clever. Thanks
Love the videos you make, man
Cool video, keep'um coming...
Mark (RotarySMP) sent me here and I'm glad he did.
I wonder if you could Mount some kind of chisel in a Sawzall and do that same thing
People do modify sawzalls to hold the inserts, and I considered going that route, but the “real thing” works better because you want to be able to adjust the stroke length for finishing work vs rouging, the ergonomics are better, and this has a good bit more mass than a sawzall, since this cuts on the push stroke, whereas the sawzall cuts on the pull, and is (usually) pulling against the saw.
Soviet day-to-day life wisdom here: The scraper most likely was made to run on 42V AC, exactly because this would mean for the tool NOT to be usable at home/outside of work. Doing sidestuff and "liberating" tools and supplies from factories was so widespread the various Socialist had to be really, really creative in their attempts at trying to keep it in check. Thus things like powertools with unusual voltages were quite common.
Jeremy, you didn't really expect the power plug to fit. Did you? If "yes" then you definitely have Murphy in your shop with you. Nice find for the tool. Despite how elegant your hand scraper was/is you'll get your desired results faster with the mechanical scraper.
Good luck. 🇺🇲🍌🇨🇦
This record is scratched!
It took almost 8 months for someone to get that reference and make a comment on it.
The variac does not have 2 coils. There is only one coil so the input power supplied is NOT isolated from the output.
If its Hungary, you should feed it
...plate scrapings.
you could probably just get 240 to 115 v mains transformer ment to power american devices in europe and just replace plugs and sockets well it may run a little fast on 55v :P
How much money that you buy？
Ah matches.
I think I’d have to swap that motor to a 15 amp grinder or something like that 110v sounds like it’s not generating the speed it needs to clean cut without straight up plowing
I was running it pretty slow to try to keep it under control.
@@JeremyMakesThings I’m clueless when it comes to scraping reckon when I do finally attempt it it’ll be on my lathe compound since mines complete shot probably be machined then turcite then scraped when it’s time for that one it’s out a crap ton
I’m pretty clueless about it too,
Lol. I found with the power scraper there’s a fine line as far as the angle goes between too steep and it digging in too much and too shallow and it skates across the surface, and leaves marks on the backstroke.
There’s a thread on Practical Machinist rebuilding forum where old Biax motors have been replaced with Metabo grinder motors. If it dies that might be ab option.
@@tonyray91 and @Jeremy_Makes_Things: The Metabo Jigsaw motors only fit the Biax models which were originally fitted with Metabo sourced motors. Before that they were from Scintilla, which became part of Bosch and before that they were made in house (in the 40s and 50s). Those older versions had a different pinion gear on the motor spindle. I guess you can figure out how I know this....
Worse than a USB cable? Its a US A/C cable... ;)
Ye machine chahiye sir ji
Ye machine chahiye 2 nos
Scraping is an arcane art, modernised looks even scarier. Good luck , Jan sverre Haugjord channel does a lot of scraping on his Myford lathe repairs, runs classes but Denmark may be a tadge too far for you
