#benchgrinder #beltsander #knifemaking - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Glad I have something to listen to in the background to calm me down. Just stripped the head off my oil drain plug and have been slowly working it out for an hiur
Damn, that's bad - what vehicle is it?
Aw damn man. Patience
Vice Grip = wrench
I feel for you. I'm doing the power steering pump in the suburban today. Just got to hope and pray that I don't run into something like that.
😟
Thanks, have been looking at this type of grinder/ belt sander combo, good food for thought. Nice review sir.
that spindle sander is hands down the best power tool I own. it works so well
I have the Buck tool 1"x 42" with 8" disc & 3/4 HP motor very smooth and quiet. Use it for knives. Very good for Handle shaping. Use Both belt and disc. Love your show
Thanks so much for the comparison.
Thanks for the review. I just bought the Buck. I'll see how it goes. I too am a Montana Boy!
Great video thanks I would definitely go with the HF
Thanks! I always appreciate your reviews and videos. Shine On
Thanks a lot for the support! If you have any other video ideas like this, let me know .
Man whatever it is i can count on the bear to have a review for me. Thank you so much for all the videos and information you consistently deliver.
I have the Hercules 8 inch variable speed grinder.. and the central Machinery belt sander with the Disc Sander attached on the side, I use them both a lot, great machines. I use the grinder to sharpen my woodturning gouges.
Great comparison! Thanks for sharing your experience with these tools. It's interesting to see how they stack up against each other. Have you tried any other grinder/belt sanders? I'd love to hear your thoughts on those as well. Keep up the great content!
Good test. Thank you
The HF one has a larger motor but I bought the Bucktool because the backing on the sander is easy to remove making grinding metal easier.
Great review! Thanks!
I remember about 30 years ago I used to see a similar type of machine but much larger, had a disc sander instead of grinding wheel, made in Taiwan for maybe $300. I don't see them around anymore though.
Great video thanks man
Very informative. Great video. Keep it up bear.
nice video, i had doubt between bauer and bucktool, I’m going with bucktool
thanks
Wish the Bauer came with the 2 x 42 belt!
It's all about HP on grinders and the quality of the abrasives, period? Great job, Bear.
Do you think you could do a video on the best laser level set up? They’re expensive and I would love to know your opinion on the best
I can't really make a comparison here. I mainly do metal work and have both a 6"and 8" bench grinder. The 6" has wire wheels on both ends while the 8" has stones. Several years ago, I bought the Buck Tool 4"x36" belt, 8" disc sander (#4801). I use it for both shaping and smoothing metal with anywhere from 40-120 grit discs and belts, depending on what I'm doing.
When I do work with wood, I have a Craftsman belt/disc sander that I absolutely hate to use! It was broken when it came out of the box but, it was one of those "store closing" deals and it wasn't returnable. I've been able to make it work when necessary but, as I do more and more with wood, I've been looking at other options. The Bauer looks interesting and, I'll be checking into it.
Bear I’d really like to see a comparison of 8” variable speed bench grinders. I want to buy one for sharpening lathe tools.
Awesome deals 👍🏽👍🏽 I just picked up that $49. Tarp, and the $9.00 Warrior 4.3 amp grinder. The $4.00 soldering iron. Why not? 🤷🏾♂️. Also picked up some other miscellaneous stuff. I’m also from the Central Valley. Oakdale, Ca
Rpm gauge? Nice to keep track of the speed. You have a link for it?
I am really glad I watched this I was going to buy the buck tool actually fixing to order it tonight but not now I think I'll go back to Harbor Freight in the morning the store is just up the road and go with theirs I've had good luck with Harbor Freight Tools so far everything I make my Knives Out of came from Harbor Freight and no problems as of yet the tool wrist looks really kind of like a toy there don't know what I'm going to do with that I really need something bigger and heavier easy to adjust I have the one by 30 sander and it's really been great it has a good Big Tool rest that's easy to adjust and it stays where you put it
Just for comparison:
In the mid-nineties I bought several machines of this type through an industrial supplier. The brand may have been Jet. Price was $160 each.
Thirty years, same price. Impressive.
If it was my choice... I would put a metal buffing wheel on the grinder side and use it as a metal worker.
I found 4 in the garbage and bought 3 off marketplace all usa or jet or crapsman delta have stationary tools mounted on side or rolling toolboxes with portable counterparts and consumables in the drawers
@denoftools Are you doing a hedge trimmer video in the future? The massive amount of rain over the last few years here in Southern California caused my hedges and bougainvilleas to grow out of control. I need a more powerful hedge trimmer that could possibly cut 1 inch branches.
No plans, sorry.
Got to be honest, at a quick glance, I thought the title was the "best grinder sandwich". Now I'm gonna have to go get one.
What is with the pliers om the grinding wheel?????? I must be missing something here. Love to see you grind somthing like a 1/4" HSS threading tool. (BTW, It takes a AWFUL lot of grinder to make up for the proper grinding wheel)
Hello how are you? I am a fan of knives in Venezuela and I bought a Bucktool sander, I use it to make some bevels, handles and leather sheaths, only finishing, and the truth is that no
seems to me that you should be able to disengage the belt sander while using the wheel or at least have a safety shroud as a precaution so you don't sand down your right elbow.
This style is what most people should buy instead of a regular grinder. They are basically very light duty belt grinders and are far more useful than a grinder. I rarely use my grinder and would replace it with one of the Bauer ones. Once you use a real 3hp belt grinder you are spoiled and will always want one.
The Bucktool is not a knife making belt grinder it is a sharpening belt grinder. You need at least 2hp for knife making.
A company like Vevor could learn a thing or two from watching this. Like maybe we don’t need to cut every corner and make it as undesirable as possible (but cheap!). Companies like Bucktool and even Bauer are able to keep costs low but still include a bunch of little things that make me much more likely to buy their products. For $17 more you get like twice the machine in that Bauer over the Vevor.
Forgot the grizzley! I have one… looks just like the blue one tho
Use cubitron II sandpaper from 3M
2x less friction 3x faster grinding last 10x longer (and not only sandpaper, anything from cubitron II line is avesome for low power machines because you can get more from them and save money long term because they last way longer
It would be extra nice if it had a dual power switch. 1 safety, 2 excessive db's. It is still on my tool list.
Yes I did
Yes I watched all that!!!
Word of caution if you’re wearing earbuds wait to listen until you have regular speakers or just play it from your phone. It’s great to see the Bear doing actual comparative reviews.
How i order ?
IMO, these machines are primarily for metal working. In metal working 2 very frequent tasks are grinding, and deburring...in fact deburring almost always follows grinding. This belt sander isn't really meant for heavy shaping...It's meant for putting a chamfer on that bolt you just ground some threads off...knocking the burr off the sheet metal you just had to grind....
Great video big bear! Baurer beats them both!
Yea these belt sander/bench grinders are metalworking tools.
My OCD was kicking in, the belts on the first two machines are 2x27 not 2x28, and the BT is a 2x42
What do you think of the dewalt 8in grinder
It's a solid, single speed grinder. Sells for about $150. For a few bucks more you can get the dual speed Bucktool or if you move fast you can get a great deal on the Hercules variable speed grinder. It's identical to the shopfox and it's being replaced with a new model so it's on clearance. I have to admit I have a bit of a preference for variable speed grinders.
Thank you for not being a fanboy
You need to use a belt dresser to unclog it. Otherwise the belt won’t last 5 minutes. Buy an edge sander instead. Much more useful for sanding wood.
The conversion is 745.699+ watts/hp * efficiency. A 250 watt motor is less than 1/3 HP, maybe WAY less. Motor efficiencies vary between 70% and 96%, so, 100% is about 0.3352 hp, about 1/3 HP, 0.3218 hp at 96% and 0.2346 hp, less than 1/4 hp at 70%! Just for your information.
I have a Craftsman 42" belt & disk sander that looks a lot like the Bucktools. My Craftsman is junk.
i watched it all.
Why didn’t you use the sanding belts that came with each machine? It looks like you used aluminum oxide belts which are like one of the lowest grade abrasive belts. The bucktool comes with 3-5 zirconia sanding belts which is a testament to the quality of the machine. It came with a higher quality belt but you tested it with the same low quality abrasives that the budget machines came with ? Idk this test didn’t make any sense to me but that’s just my opinion.
I think these are too much of a compromise. My Grizzly G1015 (good tool but crappy tool rest) stays separate from my bench grinders. Heck, I used it for years before I installed its buffer wheel. Get the bench grinder you want, get the belt machine you want.
I worked not even 10 hours and it went into a short circuit and slowed down, the windings are aluminum, that was it, throw it away, it seems the worst to me, even though I bought it because of its characteristics
I would rather have the grinder/polisher and a separate sander.
I think Bauer is over priced for what you get. I think central machinery is a better choice
2:00 and 5:00 I swear, people who design this stuff didn't even use what they made. xd
"PIZZA OVEN" .... When do we test it BEAR?
I've got my pellet grill/gas grill combo moved to the shop, can't wait for the pizza oven. I've also got an older electric grill in storage. Just need to get a charcoal so I can do some cooking video's. The plan is to do a cook out at the shop every Friday. If you are in the area you are welcome to swing by.
@@denoftools I'm up in Kalispell and maybe some day we'll get around to a road trip and say hi. Love your cooking videos and am always keeping an eye out for a Pitmaster BBQ/smoker. I do have to admit our old Webber still does a good job on pork ribs. 🥩
@@rrich8371 Just haunt Walmart, especially this fall when they switch over to Halloween/Christmas. They have some insane clearance deals on Pit Boss.
When I was in Hong Kong all the mechanics, anybody that does “greasy” “messy” work, wears those silly cotton gloves.
Home Depot has some great deals going on now on Milwaukee battery operated tools!!!
Vevor 👎 Bauer😢so so …I got the bauer sander with disc sander I’m unimpressed on sale for 99. You. Get what you pay for, the bauer just barely helpful.but it’s been handy for small tool making and sharpening
Where do you put all this crap?
I usually keep one item in the shop for long term testing and then I'll either put them in storage for later comparison videos or I'll give them to people locally who I know will really use them so I can check back with them to find out how they did.
