A simple machine from a grinder in 30 minutes with your own hands - a detailed review
Perhaps the grinder is one of the most common power tools among folk craftsmen.
It is truly a multifunctional tool with which you can perform a wide variety of work. This was once again proved by the author, whose invention I will cover today.
(I will show you how it works at the very end)
In today's review, I would like to tell you about a simple DIY machine in 30 minutes.
This invention was invented not unknown to everyone, the author of the video channel The bearded master. I will try to consider in detail and evaluate its design, as well as identify all its advantages and disadvantages.
Idea
Rated 3 out of 5
As I already said, with the help of a grinder, you can perform a wide variety of operations. By changing the disc, you can cut, grind, and polish a variety of materials. Therefore, many craftsmen have this power tool. And of course, there are many homemade products using this machine.
Also in specialized stores you can find racks for attaching grinders, which allow you to expand the range of work performed.
In general, the range of offered devices is so large and varied that the author's invention is lost against their background. Therefore, I gave the author 3 points for the idea.
Design
Rated 3 out of 5
In general, I have a favorable impression of the device presented. Below I would like to share my thoughts on the construction of this product.
Indeed, with the necessary tools and minimal skill, this machine can be made in 30 minutes. Its design is very simple, and any craftsman can find materials for manufacturing.
The overall dimensions of the machine are small, so storage will not cause problems. The grinder is fastened to the machine with standard fasteners, that is, you do not need to purchase or manufacture anything additionally.
However, I was surprised by the lack of any fasteners to the table. In my opinion, this is a very important omission, since the machine may fall during operation and injure the employee. For this, I lowered the mark to 3 points.
Design
Rated 5 out of 5
The author has painted the machine, so it has an attractive appearance. So I gave the author 5 points.
Analogs
Rated 5 out of 5
Currently, in hardware stores you can buy a variety of grinder machines. Their cost starts from 1300 rubles.
The machine designed by the author is made literally from waste, so its cost is minimal. For an economical solution, I gave the author 5 points.
Outcome
Rated 16 out of 20
A simple machine in 30 minutes with your own hands gains 16 points out of 20. It is suitable for attaching the grinder and working with it, but the lack of fasteners to the supporting surface makes it dangerous to use.
I consider it possible to use this machine only when this drawback is eliminated, that is, it is necessary to think over the fastening of the machine to the table.
