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.
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!
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.
I'm so glad for channels like this, even if it's just for my own mental health. I get so disappointed in myself with my failures but I now realise it's just part of the process. Just scrap the part and start again. Overlooking seemingly obvious flaws is just being human and i believe commercial parts go through this hundreds of times.
I think companies love to hide the fact that they spend millions prototyping and failing miserably before you get the final product. Literally hundreds of failed prototypes. It gives us a false image that these products just magically pop out of nowhere and it was easily made. That would be like thinking Roger Federer came out of his mothers womb with all his tennis skills built in. Apparently it took a Car crash and the death of his coach to set him straight and mature into the world class player that he became.
@@MariusHornberger 13:47 😨😨 You should go to the hospital for examination, I'm sure your heart is made of stainless steel and not human muscle, it's been through all this manufacturing and pain in you know where (🍑)
EVERY success is built on thousands of failures, often more - because the knowledge Marius is using here was already "fail tested" before he even started - by the engineers who figured out how the various principles used even work. My motto is If I don't get it wrong a bunch of times, I've probably forgotten to consider something. Failure isn't just "part of the process" it's ALL OF THE PROCESS, and no engineer will tell you any different.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.

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..
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 :)
35:47 that is brilliant!! Why have I never seen that on anything before. So simple and elegant.

Thank you so much for sharing the whole process and demonstrating what resilience looks like!

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!

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!
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!
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 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. 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 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! 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!
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, 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, 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..
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.
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! 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!
The answer is being able to adjust the axle of the end roller, both sides, to accommodate difference in belt lengths. I built one of those in 1975 when I was 16 in my schools design and technology classes.
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.
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.
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
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. New subscriber here, I'm really impressed with this build! Very cool to follow along in the prototyping process.
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.
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.
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 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 hope you continue the success. It has been proven multiple times, that moving to a new and bigger space kills the creativity, hightens the production pressure and eventually grinds the channel to a hold into destruction.
I work in a paper mill, or more correcly at a paper machine. Where we have 40-80 meter long felt/wire that are 7 meters wide. Controlling it is way easiler when you have a large enclosure around the tensioner. We typically strive around 180 degrees.
You've probably said it in some video, but: Why not slightly round the drive roller? That way the smaller roller would stay square and be a reliable sanding surface.
I want to win a PROXXON tool, that's it. But actually that's not only it, cuz I want to mention that while not being an engineer, your videos always make feel so humble and a bit baffled on how you do it !! They give an insight on how things work, inspire to improve and showing perseverance to prevail, usually leaving myself and my husband in awe ! Thank you for that !
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.
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 Another example of how rapid prototyping is changing the game.This amount of iteration would have taken years to do manually.
I want to win a PROXXON tool, that´s it You know, PROXXON tools are like my workshop sidekicks-they just get me. As a maker, I dive into all sorts of projects, and these tools make the whole process feel like pure fun. They're precise without being fussy, and reliable without any hassle. With PROXXON by my side, tinkering isn't just productive; it's a blast. Honestly, they turn my "What if I tried this?" moments into "Hey, that actually worked!" moments. Can't ask for better than that.
just looking at the first 4 minutes it seems that you used perfect cylinders for the rollers, while even on the sample one it's visible the sides are convex - ie.it's a barrel 😁 ok, let's see the rest if i'm right... edit: the word i was looking for: "crown" 😅 and lack of it was a desing choice to have two diameters for sanding square. doh! my bad 😁 nice work and perseverence!
Super cool as always. Great to see you over-over engineer the machine once again :) Can't wait to see the new shop coming along! Also: I want to win a PROXXON tool, that's it.

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.
Long video perhaps but fully complete and well paced. Amazing machine. Well done for your determination. Thank you. I’d love one.
At 1:29, the Marius alter ego steps in to vent on original Marius the designer. What a great film maker! I love the techniques.

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!
This is what I call dedication
This is so beautiful. I have no words.

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.
Fantastic video, design, process, everything - this is amazing. well done

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! 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!
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.
Love watching your videos! Thanks for sharing what you are working on

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.

Another excellent upgrade, well done!!!
I would really like that oscillating, adjustible belt sander, but a PROXXON sander would also be great❤
Huge effort! Very satisfying results!

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..
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.
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.

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!
The answer is being able to adjust the axle of the end roller, both sides, to accommodate difference in belt lengths. I built one of those in 1975 when I was 16 in my schools design and technology classes.

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 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.
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.
Love the precision and quality of what you make. I bet it is a pleasure to use.
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

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! 😊
this is a great video, loved seeing the problem solving 👍
Also, those proxxon tools do seem handy, definitely interested in them

Wow, that was quite a rabbit hole but good to see your prototyping. Well done
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.
Wow, I probably would've thrown the setup out the window in frustration after the second revision. Respect!

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.
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. 🙂
I want a PROXXON tool !! Love your videos !
“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!!
Excellent video again as always Marius!!
I hope you continue the success. It has been proven multiple times, that moving to a new and bigger space kills the creativity, hightens the production pressure and eventually grinds the channel to a hold into destruction.
Wonderful project and such interesting videos. Well done on making something very special!
Dude you're a wizard
I work in a paper mill, or more correcly at a paper machine. Where we have 40-80 meter long felt/wire that are 7 meters wide.
Controlling it is way easiler when you have a large enclosure around the tensioner. We typically strive around 180 degrees.
You've probably said it in some video, but:
Why not slightly round the drive roller? That way the smaller roller would stay square and be a reliable sanding surface.
I want to win a PROXXON tool, that's it. But actually that's not only it, cuz I want to mention that while not being an engineer, your videos always make feel so humble and a bit baffled on how you do it !! They give an insight on how things work, inspire to improve and showing perseverance to prevail, usually leaving myself and my husband in awe ! Thank you for that !

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.
I want to win a PROXXON tool! :) Love the progression of the sander though, what a labour of love!
It's a lovely machine and you gave clear and precise explanations of the problems and your solutions, thank you. And I'd love to win a Proxon
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, nothing else.
Kidding, always love sticking around for a MH video.
Thanks for your great content!
Very awesome upgrades!

Another example of how rapid prototyping is changing the game.This amount of iteration would have taken years to do manually.
Also absolutely beautiful work super fun build to watch.

You know, PROXXON tools are like my workshop sidekicks-they just get me. As a maker, I dive into all sorts of projects, and these tools make the whole process feel like pure fun. They're precise without being fussy, and reliable without any hassle. With PROXXON by my side, tinkering isn't just productive; it's a blast. Honestly, they turn my "What if I tried this?" moments into "Hey, that actually worked!" moments. Can't ask for better than that.

Awesome to watch the design process. As well as the sense of accomplishment on yout face. Great machine
I want to win a Proxxon tool, that's it.
Also, I'm excited to see the new shop. Can't wait to see what it will look like fully equipped!
just looking at the first 4 minutes it seems that you used perfect cylinders for the rollers, while even on the sample one it's visible the sides are convex - ie.it's a barrel 😁 ok, let's see the rest if i'm right...
edit: the word i was looking for: "crown" 😅 and lack of it was a desing choice to have two diameters for sanding square. doh! my bad 😁 nice work and perseverence!
Super cool as always. Great to see you over-over engineer the machine once again :) Can't wait to see the new shop coming along!
