I love the advice that if you want to do something then just do it. This is sincerely something that hinders me a lot in getting things done; overthinking everything and only seeing issues down the road.
@Niels : You just described me! My father's advice was similar; just take the first step... the rest will follow. If you never take the first step, you will never achieve anything! Sadly, I was never good at taking his advice.
As always your skills and the dedication are amazing. There's a lot of practicing, preparation and learning behind these kind of works. That machine will end up more precise than new for sure!
I did the same thing. I had an old reciprocating saw and didnt want to spend the money on a Biax. I cut the stroke down to about 3/16", Made an attachment and some carbide blades from old files and inserts. It worked like a champ! I rescraped in my first CNC with it. Took four months but well worth it. Have used it for making allot of tools because I dont have a surface grinder. Thankyou for making these videos. People like us are rare these days...
Excellent engineering skills! You are one of the best metalworking professionals I have ever met. Each of your videos is like a breath of fresh air! I wish you good health and please spoil us with your new videos, with the deepest respect for you with greetings from Poland!
I'm currently trying to fix up an old English milling machine and take the wear out of it, this video is perfectly timed for me! I really like your work and the quality of your videos, it's inspiring!
Good job. Just do it is great advice. In the USA too many people are too busy whining and crying about why they can't do something. We need more people like you in the world. Very motivating video. I'm going to consider making a power scraper based on your new one.
Mr. Lem, you've done it again. An absolutely amazing concept and inspirational video. You are so talented, I'm looking forward to the CNC build. I'm sure it will be awesome. Thank you for sharing.
Always awesome to watch a "master" learning new skills! There is something truly beautiful about a hand scraped piece of tooling! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Making your own version of a Biax scraper out of a sawzall is something I have always wondered if it was possible since the first time I saw a Biax scraper. Nice work. thank you for the videos.
When I saw the thumbnail I thought "huh never seen a Hitachi scraper before, must have been sold in Japan only" was quite impressed to see it was a modified reciprocating saw. Good job making it look almost factory.
i just ordered the closest model saw i could find on ebay right now after seeing this. cr13v2. i’ll have to relocate the speed controller in trigger as mine does not have the remote speed knob like your model. the models available here with speed dials have some blade tilting device I didn’t want to mess with. you rock bro. this looks way more legit than your early model. I can’t wait
i bought one too! showed up yesterday! best I could determine is the speed dial wasn’t offered on the 120V models. [ without tilting blade thing anyways) . Mine i’m guessing like yours is also without a bush in the case for output shaft and uses 2 o rings and a cloth dust wiper. factory packed it with an amount of grease you don’t see today. the output shaft bearing is also without oil\grease grooves so i’m considering adding a proper bush to mine like shown here. I’m trying to find better photos or details on how this shaft coupling stroke adjusting device was designed. offer any direction wobbler design to help me make mine? this video is the only info on a wobbler type converted tool I know of. I bought my donor tool on ebay in the middle of night following discovering this video. having watched his 1st build video a wile back I had no doubts this is the best thing to build if wanting to avoid paying way too much for production made power scraper.
You sir are an absolute DIY beast! I wish I had your skill and ability with metal working. Can't wait to see your next video in the series and what projects you have in store for the future.
Linear guides and no problems. I have do scraping on my lathe, i was so heavy and takes a lot time, dont want to do this work again. Only rails. Big size and roller type and happy will happen. Precision...if hands grow from correct places, even on very bad mill/lathe machine you can reach 0.01 tolerance of details anyway
I want to learn to do this. Scrapping metal till its perfectly flat Ha subbed because of the advice. I use to think i could do things perfectly! I just have to think harder! But all i ever did was think!!
Beautiful work Ca Lem, thank you for sharing. It is a good strategy to explain the electrical scraper in a video about scraping, since it helps keep the video interesting for a wider audience. Just scraping alone is kinda boring, even if it's like meditation to actually do it. I am very excited to see the next installment. Your craftsmanship and quality of work put the original manufacturers to shame.
More please. can't get enuff of your videos. Woo Hoo, I've got one of those Hitachi saws,... Now all I have to do is convert it... mmmmm I think I'll be watching this vid a whole lot more, and that's a good thing in itself!

Perfect isnt real! Its just you doing things!
Cutting Edge Engineering and Ca Lem posting vids on the same day is 🔥
As always your skills and the dedication are amazing. There's a lot of practicing, preparation and learning behind these kind of works. That machine will end up more precise than new for sure!
Absolutely brilliant workmanship and all self taught is a huge achievement. Well done on some top notch fitments

I've watched all of Ca Lem's videos & I'm starting to think that if he fries an egg, it cones out perfectly round!!!
And flat and concentric and parallel....
Really clever the design of the adjustable mechanism in the scraper. I definitely keep this in mind! ;) Thanks for sharing!
Great idea to support the scraper on some sort of bungee cord.
Always gives me a big smile when I see a new video from Ca Lem!
Great respect for you Ca Lem.👍🍺🍺
I never had any interest in scraping until watching your videos. Always awesome stuff - thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks man 😊
Excellent engineering skills! You are one of the best metalworking professionals I have ever met. Each of your videos is like a breath of fresh air! I wish you good health and please spoil us with your new videos, with the deepest respect for you with greetings from Poland!
Working out well, nice adaptation.
Thanks uncle Randy

More than your great skills, I admire your determination!
nichts ist höher im maschinenbau als die hohe kunst des schabens.ich bin sehr beindruck, vielen dank das sie sich die mühe gemacht haben.
Awesome! I've been looking forward to Part 2. Fantastic scraping.
You are amazing Ca Lem ... simply amazing!
I just found this channel this morning and have been binging this content. The restoration vids are amazing. Thank you from canada

thank you for the videos.
Beautiful work as usual. Thanks for sharing you work.
I am so glad you are back. Your work is fantastic and inspirational.
Nice. Ready for hour and hours of scraping :)
Improving a tool to improve another tool. My kind of craftsman! thanks for sharing your passion.

As usual Ca Lem so impressive 👍😁❤️
Great info, great video, keep'um coming.
LOL that bunji cord, great idea. If you want to be more mobile with that scraper maybe a guitar shoulder strap would help. Love your vids bro.
New subscriber but I have been watching your videos for about two years now. I truly appreciate and enjoy your videos. Keep it up.
You sir are an absolute DIY beast! I wish I had your skill and ability with metal working. Can't wait to see your next video in the series and what projects you have in store for the future.
I can't wait to see the finished product! You always do a bang up job, mate!
Your ingenuity always amazes me !
Very excited to see where you're going with the cnc and what you'll be making with it!

Amazing work as always
Superb content as always. I admire your ingenuity and can do attitude.
Some great work there, really impressed with your attention to detail.
Great video 👍 I think your videos will inspire many more to get into engineering, and as the saying goes"if it looks and feels right it usually is".
We all miss you buddy!!!
Glad to see you back!!!!!
:)
*best. video. EVER.* as always, much thanks and deepest respect.
Two footed twist gage! Outstanding 👌
Always enjoy your videos. Need a tool, make a tool. 👍👍
Watching you is an inspiration!
Ha! Old school! Cool! We do the same work here, in Russia. Scrapping and geometry correction. You Rock, Ca Lem! Will wait till finish!
I want to learn to do this. Scrapping metal till its perfectly flat
Ha subbed because of the advice. I use to think i could do things perfectly! I just have to think harder! But all i ever did was think!!

Excellent video, Cà Lem! Keep up the great work!
Great skills, I admire your determination!!!!!!!
Great video/discussion/demonstration, tks for sharing
Great stuff man!
nicely made scraper. As always you are extremely impressive.
Keep up the nice work.
Incredible work! Incredible preparation! I only wish I could watch 100 more videos from you on this idea. :) :) :)
That was really great!... Thank you. 👍
I (and other viewers, I am sure), would be interested to see the sharpening process for your scraper tools. 😊
Love your work and wit Mr Ca Lem. Happy new year.
I'd like to give this at least three thumbs up, unfortunately there's only one! ;-)
Brilliant Mr Icecream!
You and Robin should've done a collaborative video on this build, it would've been awesome as your both great machinists! 👍👍
Awesome video as usual 😎
Been waiting impatiently for your video as always. Thankyou
Hi, I am a new subscriber from Canada. I am very impressed with your work. Thanks so much for sharing your work. Bob
Excellent content🙏
it is wery perfwctly work! good day!
Well done! thank you.
Awesome Jobe @calem!
More please. can't get enuff of your videos. Woo Hoo, I've got one of those Hitachi saws,... Now all I have to do is convert it... mmmmm I think I'll be watching this vid a whole lot more, and that's a good thing in itself!
I could watch this for an hour
Gee, mister, that's a lots of exercise! 😵💫
Master Cà Lem, as excellent as we got used to by You 👍
Brilliant 👍👍
You sir are the definition of the word: Machinist
I would love to hear of your origin story. How early you began. Your mentors.
Quá đỉnh bạn ơi
Gday, great job mate, cheers
Thank you Matty 😊
Very good effort
ca lem excellent work
i see you still stick to "measure a bunch of time - cut once, carefully!"
and, as usual, thanks for letting us watch.
Muito bom ! Obrigado.
As always you are one of the best young machinest on TH-cam,but I think the bearing must be double angular contact bearing.
I love you man
Super.👍👍👍
Awesome
You are special
First like and comment 😃 I love your project please the lube system on the ball screw for the cnc and the cooling system too really important
