Great little tool Just one tip learn your 10 X tables then you have the bulk of metric problems solved if the majority of the world can ; YOU CAN. A retired toolmaker from Australia
Their becoming more expensive with all the individual sellers. Most buy in stores then charge super mark up price because Amazon says they can sell for way more
I’ve had mine for 4 years, it’s brilliant. The bearings are available at any bearing store, the cutter tips are available, mine lasted for ages though. It’s for steel and soft metal only, don’t use it on stainless.
They make carbide for stainless cutting, Its a matter AS usual TO NOT LET YOUR TOOL WORK HARDEN THE STAINLESS, keep your feed aggressive and slightly less rpm
I’ve had about every sheet metal working tool over my 50+ years in the business . This one is a nice quick grabbing tool that is already set up waiting to be used. I’ll give it a try.
For a very basic manual knee mill this would be amazing. Only issues I see are trouble getting an equal chamfer on all surfaces when dealing with a radius smaller than the bearing on ID/OD profiles . A smaller bearing would be great but then you run into repairing wear parts and at that point you might as well just manually mill a chamfer correctly as you go after cutting each specific feature. For example using a rotary table to cut a radius change to a chamfer mill and using the same set up get an accurate chamfer. For large or simple OD contours this is awesome. Another great application would be round ID profiles or just roughing out a chamfer for rough fabrication. I like it and for someone with very basic machines or rapidly machining rough parts with open tolerances this would be great.
I had never heard of this tool before but was sold based on the video. Ordered one through Amazon...if you can't trust the "Boots in the field" when they say the product works...who can you trust? Great job...thanks for bringing this item to the attention of so many!!!!
I have been in the automotive / welding industry for years and I have never seen this tool before!.. At first glance I was like big deal another die grinder!!... But I saw half a million views and stayed tuned in, Im glad I did cuz I need this tool!!.. Thanks for sharing this footage!!
I actually ordered 2... The second one as a small thank you gift for a guy helping me with the body work of my car build. What a great and unique gift. I will probably order more just for this reason!
The key to keeping the inserts last longer is heat and not hitting sharp inconsistent edges or hard mill scale. It’s the same insert used for lath work or milling. You usually use coolant in lath work so keep them cool and they will last longer.
That is not alltogether true. Insert tooling either want flood coolant or no coolant. If you use just some coolant the thermal shock will make the inserts crack.
No, I did not say to use coolant on a handheld tool. I said the key is to keep them cool. I was simply saying that mills and lathes use the same inserts and they use coolant to extend the insert life.
That pilot bearing looks like a standard size for router bits. The screw on end of the cutting tip should be removable to let you change the bearing. ✌
Interesting, for those without compressed air, using carbide inserts on a router could work well too! I have no idea if it exists but assume it should :D
Thanks CHRIS. Ordered today. The tool will arrive in May. The spare carbide inserts will arrive first week of July! Both from Amazon. Made the decision after watching your demo. Thanks!
Pretty cool little tool. We use a large handheld that can do around 1/2" and a self propelled on a stand that can do I believe up to 3/4". This would make a nice addition to the set.
Hell, now they're down to 49 bucks on Amazon w/o new cutters and about 62 with a new set inc. The always amusing side, of cheaper tools found on Amazon, is seeing how many different brand names and colors they can make the same exact friggin tool!... This tool definitely doesn't disappoint in that department!
Very neat. I think I need one! Hot tip for content makers: If you find yourself saying "like I said", don't. Either cut our the repetition or don't flag it with "like I said". Same goes for all forms of "what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna". Like "what you wanna do is you wanna."
Thanks for the tip, I just ordered one from Amazon. About the bearing I have a company in my city that just sells bearings in every size, so when I get it I will go down their and purchase some spares that most likely will be a lot better quality, then I will let you know. The grinder itself is about two weeks out before I receive it. Can’t wait to use it👍👍👍
Would you post the bearing size for others? I should find a local bearing company, and give them some entertainment with the weird ones I try to find - like ones to repair the roller-brush on my $130 Hoover house vacuum.
@@firstmkb I won’t be getting the grinder until about the last week of July. The company is all they do is sell bearings and I will have to take it down their to see. If they can’t match it to something in their books nobody can is my guess; because all these duds do is sell bearings only and all types.
"I dont work in metric, so im just gonna eyeball it". As an engineer in Europe i find that hillarious :D Kidding aside, great review.. Kinda want one for the home shop
I get a rash every time I touch anything metric. .... We are the Americans,,,and when we were using all SAE standards we are the guys that left 2 vehicles on the moon. Now we have gone metric we can't even make a decent manual turret mill that doesn't cost 4 times what it's worth. .
We used these cutter bits at work for years. They hold up well. Garr Tool in Alma Michigan is where we used to purchase them. Looks like a pretty clean chamfer that tool recreates.
You can replace the existing air nipple with a couple feet of hose on a hose barb to put the bulky connection well away from the angle grinder which will then be MUCH smaller and easier to maneuver. Pneumatic swivel joints exist and work well too.
Just because you can never have too many sources for replacement parts, that little bearing is also found in 3D printer parts very regularly, especially around motors and extruders. You should be able to get 10 in a pack for a couple bucks.
I am a machinist and have owned this tool for over a year and only used it a day. If you are just looking to deburr and think this will be easier and fancier, it is not. Very slow and hard to maintain an even chamfer. Video says that it throws sharp chips out, but left out they are also hot as fire. For welders and those who absolutely need chamfers with no other tools to get the job done I would recommend this tool.
Well my order is in. Got me for the mag base and extra cutters too. You find the coolest tools. Thanks Wish I had the mag base when I was making all these blacksmithing tools.
You got the extra cutters to? the Amazon page the link takes you/me to says "out of stock the last two days? Cant seem to find the part number (ZA113) elsewhere on amazon either. When you get the cutters can you shoot me a reply with any other #'s or barcodes?
@@Uncle_Bucks_Forge Amazon is just a convenient (Liberal/leftist) store front..... Surely someone else more deserving could serve you? At the very least look for 'made in Taiwan'.
That is an awesome tool- I have seen the floor standing version for cleaning large plates but never this handy hand held tool- excellent for anyone making stuff that has more than an 1/8th inch thickness
That tool is very similar to a router bit used for wood working, so you may want to look at either Rockler or Woodcraft for the replacement bearings. Very cool tool. Thank you for sharing. Keep the videos coming.
ID move clockwise & OD is counter. I noticed he almost do the same like how i would on wood router. Great tool & my friend is the one who actually share me the video. This could prove useful on my next project..
I'm sure glad that I came across this video. There are different camfering tools out there but the ones I have seen are bench mounted so you have to bring the material to the machine. The carbide cutters look like standard TCMT to me. The size is either 1/4" or 3/8" I.C. that stands for inscribed circle. This is the size of a circle that lines up with the three flat sides. The first thing that I would do after purchasing one is look at the bearing number and buy any name brand bearing.
you change the bearing for a small brass piece, stick a small disc behind and you hold the bearing with a sunken machine screw. Bit of blue loctite, don't gorilla into the bottom but just let the brass slightly rotate.. :)
These look like TCMT inserts based on the Amazon picture, so they'd be single sided (because of the 7º relief angle) .. granted Amazon pictures can tell 1000 lies :)
@Bow to me faithfully Bow to me splendidly that is only relevant if you use such tool for such lengths of time, thousands of hours, that energy cost becomes more expensive than batteries. In such case, the tool couldn't be cordless anyway. I understand if you say that a compressor has a higher non recurring cost or it takes valuable space in the shop, but the argument about energy cost to me seems very weak.
Been using a grinder to do this for years, didn’t know these existed until a coworker asked to borrow it after looking at what I was working on…. His face when I handed him the grinder heheh. Ended up googling it and found this vid, definitely useful tool for inside corner bevels.
When chamfering plasma cut with work hardened surfaces, be sure to run this cutter in a conventional milling pattern (not climb milling). Get under the scale rather than pull it into the cut. Your inserts will last 10X longer.
❤ You may be able to replace the baring with router bit baring. I know they are good for around 20,000 rpm. Not sure what size shank you have (inside diameter).
@@tylerbennetts8079 the baring is not cutting, it's only providing an equal distance. I believe the question was where to get a replacement baring, was it not?
This is just another Aliexpress tool you can buy the bearing for 20 cents and packs of cutters for about $2-5. There are tons of these types of specialty tools on Aliexpress because china applies mass production to EVERYTHING, so it makes sense to have a specific tool for every step of the way to make things as fast as possible and maximize output.
That looks exactly like a router bearing... I don't know if it is or not? I worked in a cabinet shop for 5 years. The ONLY oil we would use on our router bearings was Marvel Mystery Oil. It's the only oil that could stand up to the high RPM. Marvel Mystery Oil mixed with Motorkote, should prolong your bearings lifetime exponential!!!
Always thought a router table type setup would be handy where you could walk up, hit a foot pedal switch and run a piece of metal over a grinder that do the bevel. But it wouldn’t work for inside edges like this tool can.
@@markkollman870 pretty well I'm sure since rpms are probably around the same but ya can't take as big of a bit with his router as a normal wood router but for that little chamfered it does produce is probably pretty good on wood just not as adjustable
Two questions on a two month old clip: 1)how big a chamfer can it make? 2) is it possible to create a rudimentary cutting edge by chamfering opposing edges to a point in heat treatable steel?
Sorta, but the point would be 90* angle... Not exactly very sharp. You'd get a support edge by cutting one chamfer deep enough to make a point with the other side of the material - that would give you twice as sharp of an edge.
If the entire bit can be swapped out (and has a standard shaft) , there are a TON of other carbide bits made for woodworking routers and Dremel tools etcetera. There are pattern following bits with the bearing either above or below the cutter that can make a nice smooth edge, and v-groove bits like you asked about.
@@firstmkb No collect on this thing. It is not in the seance of woodworking a "bit" at all. It's a milling cutter that looks like an integral part of the shaft.
what a fantastic piece of kit. I wanted to see if it was a copy of a higher quality tool, i believe i found the source. Nitto Circuit Beveler CB-01 check it out being nitto its probably made in japan
Thanks for the video.. I hadn't seen these before, I like how it dresses up your gussets and mounting plates, it ad's that little something extra... so I ordered one too, cant wait to give it a try. I did find what looks like the same one, in LA California on eBay for like $38 with Free S&H
I’ll have to look closely at it and see! If I find a replacement bearing I’ll post the link to it in the description too. Under heavy use I could see the bearing failing
I used my table saw with a cheap carbide blade to cut a grid into cast iron to make lapping plates. Blade chatter kept the grooves from being super sharp, but no problems other than taking two days for my sphincter to relax!
I know it would be messy and need cleaned for welding, but I would what about a lubricant? It could even be the water based machine cutting lube. It could produce a smoother cut but that can be smoothed if needed. Not needed if welding as the “Angle Cutter” is providing a deeper penetration while staying flatter on top. Just a thought but after all, 3 sides to each cutter would decrease the cost per use. Also, if it is cutting on the side, the tip maybe perfectly sharp for re-purposing the cutter on a brake lathe as they look the same without actual measurements. McMaster-Carr May have these cheaper by size and angle of grind on the cutting face. You may not have a brake lathe for cutting disc, but may worth looking into. Just a thought as on the farm or small town shop, you never throw anything away. Tool of the week, from a guy who became an ASE Master Tech before MIG welders were sold.
That's pretty fantastic! Take my money! I've been using a router mounted upside down in a wooden box with a chamfer or roundover bit. Pretty expensive and sketchy.
Keep a strong magnet in a plastic bag near your work to catch the metal chips. The bag makes removing the chips from the magnet a snap.
I like the evolution magnet stick

I see it as not just as a finishing tool but a prep tool for butt welds. Quick easy chamfer , faster and neater than grinding.
It would work great for prepping pipe for butt welding.
Exactly, i am thinking about this use. Thanks to the Algorithm of TH-cam that recommended this video to me!

Yes but, those low quality bearings won't last long at 30,000 rpm.
Measure the dimension of thr bearing with a Micrometer and order from almost any bearing supplier.
Or take off the bearing to see if it's marked! Too many posts saying "it looks like..."
Or, just ask for a 683ZZ, as specified on the parts list (that came with mine).

I bought 3 units about 3 months ago. Usd$65 each + $3 shipping from china. Bargain! Fantastic tool!
Always thought a router table type setup would be handy where you could walk up, hit a foot pedal switch and run a piece of metal over a grinder that do the bevel. But it wouldn’t work for inside edges like this tool can.
That bearing is probably the same as my wood router bits.
Beat me to it.
I instantly wondered what kind of cut it would make in wood.
@@markkollman870 pretty well I'm sure since rpms are probably around the same but ya can't take as big of a bit with his router as a normal wood router but for that little chamfered it does produce is probably pretty good on wood just not as adjustable
Great chamfer from that tool and worth the price .. Great video Chris .
Two questions on a two month old clip: 1)how big a chamfer can it make?
2) is it possible to create a rudimentary cutting edge by chamfering opposing edges to a point in heat treatable steel?
Sorta, but the point would be 90* angle... Not exactly very sharp. You'd get a support edge by cutting one chamfer deep enough to make a point with the other side of the material - that would give you twice as sharp of an edge.
If the entire bit can be swapped out (and has a standard shaft) , there are a TON of other carbide bits made for woodworking routers and Dremel tools etcetera. There are pattern following bits with the bearing either above or below the cutter that can make a nice smooth edge, and v-groove bits like you asked about.
@@firstmkb No collect on this thing. It is not in the seance of woodworking a "bit" at all. It's a milling cutter that looks like an integral part of the shaft.
adding it to the LIST!!
That would be super handy. Great for finishing edges on projects or use it for weld prep
what a fantastic piece of kit. I wanted to see if it was a copy of a higher quality tool, i believe i found the source. Nitto Circuit Beveler CB-01 check it out being nitto its probably made in japan
It looks very nice at 7 times the price!
Nifty. It's probably overkill for this application, but you could probably also use it to chamfer edges before welding a butt joint.
Sometimes I do that actually, it’s nice on square tube when your doing a lot of it
The bearing looks like one off a dremmel router bit or maybe an 1/8” router bit.
Thanks for the video.. I hadn't seen these before, I like how it dresses up your gussets and mounting plates, it ad's that little something extra... so I ordered one too, cant wait to give it a try. I did find what looks like the same one, in LA California on eBay for like $38 with Free S&H
So basically it's a router for metal. Cool. Thanks for the tip.
Purchased one using your links. Awesome tool and great video showing what it can do. Cheers and THANKS CHRIS. 😎
Thank you man! You will get a TON of use out of this thing... Just watch those chips, little daggers...
Great tool, just ordered on "A" thanks for this recommendation.
Look on the face of the bearing. One side or the other. There should be some numbers you can get an exact replacement based off those numbers.
I’ll have to look closely at it and see! If I find a replacement bearing I’ll post the link to it in the description too. Under heavy use I could see the bearing failing
🤔 I once used a wood router with carbide router bits. On metal for a similar purpose
I used my table saw with a cheap carbide blade to cut a grid into cast iron to make lapping plates. Blade chatter kept the grooves from being super sharp, but no problems other than taking two days for my sphincter to relax!
Plz make million more of these kinds of videos.
Nice little router for metal.
I know it would be messy and need cleaned for welding, but I would what about a lubricant? It could even be the water based machine cutting lube. It could produce a smoother cut but that can be smoothed if needed. Not needed if welding as the “Angle Cutter” is providing a deeper penetration while staying flatter on top. Just a thought but after all, 3 sides to each cutter would decrease the cost per use. Also, if it is cutting on the side, the tip maybe perfectly sharp for re-purposing the cutter on a brake lathe as they look the same without actual measurements. McMaster-Carr May have these cheaper by size and angle of grind on the cutting face. You may not have a brake lathe for cutting disc, but may worth looking into. Just a thought as on the farm or small town shop, you never throw anything away. Tool of the week, from a guy who became an ASE Master Tech before MIG welders were sold.
That's pretty fantastic! Take my money! I've been using a router mounted upside down in a wooden box with a chamfer or roundover bit. Pretty expensive and sketchy.
I know what this little tool sounds like already.But its nice to hear it work some also..Great video!
