It’s not the side to side movement, it’s the height of the crown. The makita has more crown, over 180 degrees of crown. You only have about 15 degrees of belt on your crown, which means the effect of more tension in the middle is much reduced. Also, you want a long run before the crown. It’s how the belt flexes on approach to the crown that makes it track. I have a video on this, so does Steve mould.
Despite the challenges, this video is a great illustration of the whole prototyping process. Great idea -> first prototype -> unexpected problem -> problem solving -> next prototype (repeat several times with other unexpected problems) -> complete the functional prototype. Then, of course, there is a whole additional process of converting a hand-fitted prototype into something that can be mass produced. Great fun to watch.
Good example of the development process! Perseverance through failure and showing that failure, while frustrating, is how improvement and learning happens and is all part of the path to success.. this needs to be shown more!
Wow! So much interest in the competition! In view of the large number of participants, we will be giving away three more sets. So there will be eight lucky winners in total. Good luck to all! Dear Marius, thank you once again for the great cooperation. We are totally impressed by your perseverance with this project and really appreciate your work. Nice to see that our tools were a good help.
I must say that tiny angle grinder looked just wunderschön! I sometimes have the need to cut metal, but it is usually in a "small scale", and even a 125 mm disc feels enormously oversized and frankly scares me. So I guess that now I want to win a PROXXON tool
Hello @@nlkatz, the RBS/A Tube belt sander is not a custom machine but an official one. Unfortunately, this one is currently not being sold in the US - sorry. We'll take your interest into consideration.
Wow what a difference from a teenager to an adult, I remember when you started your channel until now.. congratulations 🎉🎉 going from your parents to your own shop ..👍👍👍👍
Job well done. This process of prototyping and testing is the reason why quality tools and machines are so much more expensive, but so is working with them absolutely priceless! Go on!
I love the way you did your ads in this video. Completely seamless and didn't affect the flow of the video at all. I wouldn't have even been able to tell if not for the AD watermark. If only more creators could find sponsors that were as appropriate for their videos as yours were for this one. Great job on the sander. Glad you stuck it out and shared your struggles with us.
The end result might be considered boring - but the enjoyment you had, as well as all the lessons learned make it worth it. a no-nonsense tool in your shop is priceless.
Marius, the genius isn't in the design, it is in the knowing that it needs to be better. The average punter out in youtube land would have looked at the first iteration and gone "Yep, close enough is good enough. It works so I'm done. You looked at it and said "Damn, I can do that better"... then did it. It really is a marvellous little piece engineering. Well done.
Thank you for sharing your engineering thoughts and process on how you do things, it's really a blast to see something being built this complex from the ground up and showing iterations.
It's really great to see your steadfast persistence and attention to small details. It's also satisfying to see your joy when each part finally comes together. Truly a master at his craft.
I want to win a PROXON Tool. But nevertheless I enjoy to watch the videos. As an engineer 🎉really appreciate the problem solving. Never give up on a good idea 😊.
35:47 that is brilliant!! Why have I never seen that on anything before. So simple and elegant. My only guess is that it will rattle loose over time, but I'm sure some pressure could keep that minimal, and a knob on the end of the adjustment would double as a dial indicator to show when it needed re-tightening!
I'm not an engineer, I'm not particularly patient nor am I even an above average woodworker - yet here I sit with my coffee, utterly fascinated... well done, really enjoying this process :)
I want to win a PROXXON tool, that’s it. When version 4 functioned properly you took a breath while staring at the machine and I so know all the emotions that were in that moment! A bit of math about how long it took, a huge amount of relief that you wouldn’t need to relive some of the worst moments, and a the rest of the breath dedicated to some giddy humble pride. Thank you so much for sharing the whole process and demonstrating what resilience looks like!
I want to win a PROXXON tool, that´s it As a mechanical engineer, I found this an educational video for anyone who wants to make mechanical engineering a career. Marius this is one of your best videos you've ever made. twelve out of ten thumbs up.
I want to win a PROXXON tool, that's it. Ich habe bereits einen Steckschlüssel-Satz und einen Drehmomentschlüssel von PROXXON. Neben meinen blauen Werkzeugen würde mich sehr über ein bisschen mehr grün/gelbes Werkzeug in meiner Werkstatt freuen. 😉
Had to laugh at "I'm a naturally good designer. No need for testing." My boss told us this one time when we were building test benches for programmable logic - "I design it to work right the first time." Was his quote. I have also gotten demerits for taking too long on testing. But I have gotten bit in the rear end too many times when taking shortcuts as a new engineer. After 41 years in the business, I have learned that hubris is painful. Good for you learning that early..
Love the engineering process Marius, and you love solving the problems. I think I'm like that too, I love going after the smallest detail and not on: "It's just good enough "
I want to win a PROXXON tool, that's it. I'm glad you're going to be documenting your new shop! Hopefully, we will get to see some more tools being built!
Fun fact, metal doesn't have a smell. The smell we associate with metals is usually skin oil catalyzed by the metal (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2006, 45, 7006)
@@joshphillips9961 Just a few weeks ago, I saw a very interesting video here on TH-cam about this. I can't remember the channel, but I guess it would be easy to find. It was of course a chemistry channel, so it went quite deep into the chemistry behind this phenomenon. Highly recommended! In fact so much, I just looked it up for you, it was (of course? 🙂) a video by NileRed from 5 years ago: th-cam.com/video/BqLH-nTZEOc/w-d-xo.html And I also found that The Action Lab did a shorter video on the topic a year before that, focusing on an experiment with coins (pennies). Of course, this was already known by the Romans a long time ago: PECVNIA NON OLET! ;-)
I have had a Proxon Micromot for >20 years - replaced bearings a few times - a very useful machine. It looks lonely on my shelf with only other brands - needs a sibling. Thanks for your videos, always stimulating
Well done for going through the iterations process with us. This is why companies need to make back their R&D costs when bringing a product to market. Regular consumers don’t have a clue what happens before an end product reaches the shelves and the costly mistakes that are made to get it there. I work for a speaker manufacturer and the “learning” curve is is intense, especially if it’s a product that’s pretty ground breaking. And it can be anything from the innocuous, the obvious or just pure bad luck. Keep doing what you do and good luck with the new workshop!
i want to win a PROXXON tool, that's it... seriously though, what a beautiful way to document the process of prototyping! i dont think many people are aware of the sheer amount of ingenuinity, research and perseverance it involves to develop something like this. if anything, youre the best tool in your shed haha!
I love to see the amount of lessons learned from ‘failed’ prototypes. Personally I don’t see them as failures because of the knowledge gained from them.
I want to win a PROXXON tool. I was particularly impressed by how you broke down the complex problem of belt tracking into simpler concepts. Your use of the crown roller was a brilliant solution.
Deine Schritte und Gedanken zu sehen, wie du an die Probleme, deiner selbst gebauten Maschine, herangehst und auch das hin und her mit den Prototypen, hat mich sehr begeistert. Als Heimwerker benutzt man meist nur fertige und hoffentlich funktionierende Maschinen und sieht sonst nicht wieviel Entwicklung für ein fertiges Produkt notwendig ist. Ich habe selbst Jahre in der Produktentwicklung gearbeitet und wäre über deine Art der Dokumentation und Präsentation der Probleme und Lösungen begeistert gewesen. Dadurch finde ich wertschätzt man es viel mehr wenn am Ende alles funktioniert. Respekt für deine Hartnäckigkeit!
You are an incredible engineer Marius. Thank you for all the effort to film all of this whilst also doing the engineering. Full marks!! Oh and I want to win a Proxxon tool please! :)
I want to win a PROXXON tool, that's it. I liked this video, showing the iterative process of prototyping a mechanism. Also congratulations on the new workshop - I will definitely be checking out the second channel for that.
I want to win a PROXXON tool, that's it Great building and problem solving skills!! But what I like the most, is the way you can explain every issue or detail in a very understandable way! Great work (on the new workshop as well)! To answer your Proxxon question: I especially use the scroll saw, a lot :)
I want to win a PROXXON tool! Also, Marius, I have to say your explanation of the design process is incredibly clear and insightful. The attention to detail in your work is inspiring-thanks for sharing your expertise!
I want to win a PROXXON tool, that’s it. This might be one of you best videos. I like that you do not cut-out your fials and that you keep us in the loop with your thaught process between iterations.
I want to win a PROXXON tool, that's it. Your videos are the best! Your problem-solving skills are off the charts. You're always coming up with great ideas and You give so many great ideas for inspiration to all of us. BTW I've still got my first old Proxxon Precision vice FMS 75 from the mid-80s. It's a workhorse! And I've added a bunch of other PROXXON tools over the years.
I want to win a PROXXON tool. Good job on troubleshooting by trial and error and applying new concepts from other tools and learning from them. It's not the most streamlined prototyping workflow, but it is a workflow you did follow succesfully. Others spend months and years on CAD and FEA and reasearch and finally end up giving up experimental testing due to overly complex and expensive project that in theory might work so it gets scrapped and forgotten.. so you clearly managed to find a balance between experimental and CAD design.
I want to win a PROXXON tool, that's it. Every time I watch one of your episodes, it is wonderful that you show why something fails instead of editing it out, which makes your videos so much more down to earth for way better entertainment. I hope you and all your fans stay safe, stay healthy and stay as happy as you possibly can in everything you do. 🤘😁👍 Hello Hello From Canada!!!
it was very enjoyable to watch, I don't build anything myself, but (or maybe therefore) it was very instructional to watch the problems you've encountered and the solutions you've found!
Cool to see the design evolve, with you making use of all the tricks in the book, and some from the dust jacket. Thanks for sharing! Also, apparently I want to win a PROXXON tool!
I want to win a proxxon tool! Great vid as always, impeccable editing, storytelling and ability to break down and explain what your doing in such an understandable manner. Always a pleasure to watch!
Wow was ein großartiges Engineering! Es bereitet sehr viel Freude dir beim Problemlösen zuzusehen. Ein wahnsinns hoher Standard! I would like to win a PROXXON tool, thats is.
I want to win a proxxon tool The first one I ever got was a micromot back in 1994 when I was 6yo and I still own and use it! Awesome project and great love for the details. Great engineering
It is not boring to watch. This is the type of video I should send my superior to understand engineering problems in products. We manufacture test machines and we have a first prototype for a brake cylinder test machine. And everything that could go wrong went wrong. The bosses wanted to push it out to production 3 weeks after the first powering on of the machine. About 3 days before the delivery, several key components broke. The cylinders are also too strong and the whole machine flexes. So we have to change the part fixation, the automatic adjustment mechanix, the part holding pins, servos, linear bearings, etc... Not to mention all the software issues we have :D Fun times :D Our team - as developers, engineers, we know how wrong things can go and it is extremely hard to convince engineering illiterate people of these :D So I'll be using this video to show it to people, how seemingly very simple things can get VERY complicated :D And there is a need for prototyping...
Would so much love to have orginal German versions of your videos to show them to my students in our makerspace! This one was once more so great to watch! Thanks a lot for your content! And yes: I want to win a PROXXON tool! Have a “dremel like” tool of PROXXON that’s doing a great job. And of course the adjustable, suction mounted mini vice that I love to use as a third hand when soldering XLR- or jack-connectors.
I want to win a PROXXON tool! Excellent video, as always! I've been watching for a long time and your progress from your parents' shop to a full shop of your own, as well as the quality of your engineering, has been amazing! Thanks for making such great content!
I just knew 6months ago that the belt tracking would never work without crowning rollers. However, I would not have the dedication and attention to detail to complete anything like this project. Love the self-depricating humour and reality!! Quality build, looks fantastic and sharing the development interations is really interesting. Are you planning to market an assembled machine?
I want to fix a Proton tool, that's it. Great job, Markus! I follow you on the path you went from making your own dust extractor to over-engineer a simple tool as a drum sander for the sake of doing it. Stay as you are, I'm curious what your next pitch might be. All the best!
I want to win a PROXXON tool, that’s it. The amonut of work (both design and manual) you put in your projects is tremendous! I love the iterative approach. I finished mechanical engineering, but comparing my daily work to what you do makes me feel so "small", but also (fortunately) encourages me to try to improve. Anotheg great project; thanks for showing as your ideas come to life and doing it in a funny and entertaining way :)
I want to win a PROXXON tool, that's it I can definitely feel the struggle. It's easy to lose motivation at times. However to still power through is just - Power, that's it! Well done! I recently bought an old PROXXON 2400 lathe (from the 80s, I think) and I find it to be a very decent machine especially since it's still working OK after all these years. More PROXXON tools would definitely improve my restoration efforts! Best regards.
I want to win a PROXXON tool, that’s it I just wanted to say this has been such a fantastic series to watch! I really admire your methods for solving problems-they’re creative, effective, and inspiring. Great work, well done, and so well presented! I also appreciate how you share the challenges you face during the process, which adds an extra layer of authenticity and value. Truly impressive! 😊
I want to win a PROXXON tool, that's it. And wanted to say how much I've enjoyed you making this and taking us along through the whole process ! It's given me an idea I'd like to try and protype and started to design some 3d parts already. So Thank you..
it is such a pleasure to just watch this guy nerding out and building cool stuff. Mann this was fun. i hope one day i can atleaset make my own version inspired by one of your designs. also would love to get that proxxon tool xD
Wow, I probably would've thrown the setup out the window in frustration after the second revision. Respect! And btw: I want to win a PROXXON tool, that's it.
Your attention to detail is amazing and the final outcome is allways worth the effort! - keep up the good work Marius. oh yes, I want to win a PROXXON tool, that´s it 🙂 Thanks.
I want to win a PROXXON tool, that's it. New subscriber here, I'm really impressed with this build! Very cool to follow along in the prototyping process.
I want to win a Proxxon tool, that's it. I build theatre props and puppets which thankfully are far more simple than the stuff you create. But it's super nice to watch a fantastic engineer go through their whole process.
I want to win a PROXXON tool, that's it. Great content! It is so much fun watching how you crack problems! I do own a PROXXON Tischkreissäge FKS/E and a DS 220E Scroll saw - great machines! Greetings from Austria / Hungary.
Regarding the low fricition graphite backing, you could put some graphite powder onto the steel plate. It might not do much, but it should impregnate the grooves from sanding/polishing the metal if you apply it somewhat frequently. After sometime the grooves should be saturated so you would only have to put onto some powder very rarely. It might not do much but the powder isnt expensive and it wont hurt so it might be worth a shot.
Halfway through watching, you needed to go back to waterwheels and steam-powered belt-driven machines. You forgot the self-centering effect of a domed roller under tension.
I want to win a PROXXON tool, that's it I'm a handyman who is having allot of woodworking tools already. But often struggling with metal working. I do have some proxxon tools already...like a micro click and a industrial toolbox. But one of those you showed would be so great. Thanks for the great video as always!
“I want to win a Proxxon tool.” Free tool! Count me in. I found your videos when I started researching CNC machines. I continue to watch your channel even though I have given up on the idea of buying a desktop CNC due to cost and my lack of space. You continue to produce great content that entertains and shows how the mind of an engineer works. Keep up the awesome job.
I want to win a PROXXON tool, that's it. Sehr gutes Video. Ich finde deine Maschinenbau und Konstruktionsfertigkeiten erstaunlich. Fehlschläge gehören dazu und man kann vieles daraus lernen. Es ist auch sehr lobenswert, dass du auf Wartungsfreundlichkeit und einfache Einstellbarkeit achtest. Davon könnten sich so einige Ingenieure eine Scheibe abschneiden. Als Zerspaner fand ich es zwar etwas kurios, dass die Toleranzen von den Lagersitzen nicht eingehalten werden konnten, aber es war ja im Nachhinein kein großes Problem und wurde vorher offen kommuniziert.
I have a few PROXXON tools. I repair eyewear and the micro pillar drill is essential. In my hobbies I use an engraver and a cut off tool. They are great quality.
It’s not the side to side movement, it’s the height of the crown. The makita has more crown, over 180 degrees of crown. You only have about 15 degrees of belt on your crown, which means the effect of more tension in the middle is much reduced. Also, you want a long run before the crown.

it was very enjoyable to watch, I don't build anything myself, but (or maybe therefore) it was very instructional to watch the problems you've encountered and the solutions you've found!
Proxxon hat das beste Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. Hab schon mehrere Handwerkzeuge und die sind super.
Cool to see the design evolve, with you making use of all the tricks in the book, and some from the dust jacket. Thanks for sharing!
Also, apparently I want to win a PROXXON tool!

Great vid as always, impeccable editing, storytelling and ability to break down and explain what your doing in such an understandable manner. Always a pleasure to watch!

Unbelievable video once again. The level of detail going into these builds is really impressive.
This is so beautiful. I have no words.
Wow was ein großartiges Engineering! Es bereitet sehr viel Freude dir beim Problemlösen zuzusehen. Ein wahnsinns hoher Standard!
I would like to win a PROXXON tool, thats is.

The first one I ever got was a micromot back in 1994 when I was 6yo and I still own and use it!
Awesome project and great love for the details. Great engineering
I want to win a PROXXON tool, that's it.
Another excellent upgrade, well done!!!
It is not boring to watch. This is the type of video I should send my superior to understand engineering problems in products.
We manufacture test machines and we have a first prototype for a brake cylinder test machine. And everything that could go wrong went wrong. The bosses wanted to push it out to production 3 weeks after the first powering on of the machine. About 3 days before the delivery, several key components broke. The cylinders are also too strong and the whole machine flexes. So we have to change the part fixation, the automatic adjustment mechanix, the part holding pins, servos, linear bearings, etc...
Not to mention all the software issues we have :D Fun times :D Our team - as developers, engineers, we know how wrong things can go and it is extremely hard to convince engineering illiterate people of these :D So I'll be using this video to show it to people, how seemingly very simple things can get VERY complicated :D And there is a need for prototyping...
Would so much love to have orginal German versions of your videos to show them to my students in our makerspace!
This one was once more so great to watch!
Thanks a lot for your content!
And yes:

Have a “dremel like” tool of PROXXON that’s doing a great job.
And of course the adjustable, suction mounted mini vice that I love to use as a third hand when soldering XLR- or jack-connectors.
I want a PROXXON tool !! Love your videos !
Love the precision and quality of what you make. I bet it is a pleasure to use.

Excellent video, as always! I've been watching for a long time and your progress from your parents' shop to a full shop of your own, as well as the quality of your engineering, has been amazing! Thanks for making such great content!
I just knew 6months ago that the belt tracking would never work without crowning rollers. However, I would not have the dedication and attention to detail to complete anything like this project. Love the self-depricating humour and reality!! Quality build, looks fantastic and sharing the development interations is really interesting. Are you planning to market an assembled machine?
I want to fix a Proton tool, that's it.
Great job, Markus! I follow you on the path you went from making your own dust extractor to over-engineer a simple tool as a drum sander for the sake of doing it.
Stay as you are, I'm curious what your next pitch might be. All the best!
I want to fix a Proton tool, that's it. Danke für den content!!

The amonut of work (both design and manual) you put in your projects is tremendous! I love the iterative approach. I finished mechanical engineering, but comparing my daily work to what you do makes me feel so "small", but also (fortunately) encourages me to try to improve.
Anotheg great project; thanks for showing as your ideas come to life and doing it in a funny and entertaining way :)
Fine engineering at work!

That's so much iterative fixings! The result, even if not visually stunning, truly is incredible!

I can definitely feel the struggle. It's easy to lose motivation at times. However to still power through is just - Power, that's it! Well done!
I recently bought an old PROXXON 2400 lathe (from the 80s, I think) and I find it to be a very decent machine especially since it's still working OK after all these years. More PROXXON tools would definitely improve my restoration efforts!
Best regards.

I just wanted to say this has been such a fantastic series to watch! I really admire your methods for solving problems-they’re creative, effective, and inspiring. Great work, well done, and so well presented! I also appreciate how you share the challenges you face during the process, which adds an extra layer of authenticity and value. Truly impressive! 😊
I want to win a PROXXON tool, that's it.
And wanted to say how much I've enjoyed you making this and taking us along through the whole process ! It's given me an idea I'd like to try and protype and started to design some 3d parts already. So Thank you..
This is what I call dedication
I would really like that oscillating, adjustible belt sander, but a PROXXON sander would also be great❤
it is such a pleasure to just watch this guy nerding out and building cool stuff. Mann this was fun. i hope one day i can atleaset make my own version inspired by one of your designs.
also would love to get that proxxon tool xD

Wow, that was quite a rabbit hole but good to see your prototyping. Well done
Wow, I probably would've thrown the setup out the window in frustration after the second revision. Respect!
And btw: I want to win a PROXXON tool, that's it.
Wonderful project and such interesting videos. Well done on making something very special!
Wow, great work as always! As they say: We don't do things because it's easy, but because we thought it would be easy. 🙂
Your attention to detail is amazing and the final outcome is allways worth the effort! - keep up the good work Marius.
oh yes, I want to win a PROXXON tool, that´s it 🙂 Thanks.

New subscriber here, I'm really impressed with this build! Very cool to follow along in the prototyping process.

I build theatre props and puppets which thankfully are far more simple than the stuff you create. But it's super nice to watch a fantastic engineer go through their whole process.

Great content! It is so much fun watching how you crack problems!
I do own a PROXXON Tischkreissäge FKS/E and a DS 220E Scroll saw - great machines!

Excellent video again as always Marius!!
Nice job Markus
Regarding the low fricition graphite backing, you could put some graphite powder onto the steel plate.
It might not do much, but it should impregnate the grooves from sanding/polishing the metal if you apply it somewhat frequently.
After sometime the grooves should be saturated so you would only have to put onto some powder very rarely.
It might not do much but the powder isnt expensive and it wont hurt so it might be worth a shot.
Halfway through watching, you needed to go back to waterwheels and steam-powered belt-driven machines. You forgot the self-centering effect of a domed roller under tension.

I'm a handyman who is having allot of woodworking tools already. But often struggling with metal working. I do have some proxxon tools already...like a micro click and a industrial toolbox. But one of those you showed would be so great.
Thanks for the great video as always!
I want to win a PROXXON tool! :) Love the progression of the sander though, what a labour of love!
“I want to win a Proxxon tool.” Free tool! Count me in. I found your videos when I started researching CNC machines. I continue to watch your channel even though I have given up on the idea of buying a desktop CNC due to cost and my lack of space. You continue to produce great content that entertains and shows how the mind of an engineer works. Keep up the awesome job.

Sehr gutes Video. Ich finde deine Maschinenbau und Konstruktionsfertigkeiten erstaunlich. Fehlschläge gehören dazu und man kann vieles daraus lernen.
Es ist auch sehr lobenswert, dass du auf Wartungsfreundlichkeit und einfache Einstellbarkeit achtest. Davon könnten sich so einige Ingenieure eine Scheibe abschneiden.
Als Zerspaner fand ich es zwar etwas kurios, dass die Toleranzen von den Lagersitzen nicht eingehalten werden konnten, aber es war ja im Nachhinein kein großes Problem und wurde vorher offen kommuniziert.

Awesome to watch the design process. As well as the sense of accomplishment on yout face. Great machine
Thanks for your great content!
I have a few PROXXON tools. I repair eyewear and the micro pillar drill is essential. In my hobbies I use an engraver and a cut off tool. They are great quality.
Very awesome upgrades!

Nice job Marius! Always enjoy watching your machine build videos. Congrats on the new shop!
Also absolutely beautiful work super fun build to watch.
Dude you're a wizard
