There is a lot of demand for working drawings of this mini grinding machine. But I don't like spending many hours behind a CAD program to make decent working drawings. However, if there is anyone who enjoys doing that and would like to volunteer for it, that would be great! I have photos of every part, and almost all the important measurements are included. That could be a sufficient source for a set of useful working drawings. If that works, I will make an extra video with some detailed explanations about the materials and construction and of course you will also get all the credit you deserve in that video.

As a wanna be machinist I’m very impressed and your standard of workmanship sets a benchmark. Maybe one day I’ll get there. Thanks for taking the time to share.

Definitely a future project, it's a great design for a small workshop, versatile and compact. 👍👍

Nice build Michael! Looking forward to the eating of the pudding! Best! Job

Looks more compact and more capable than the standard d bit grinder. Well done.

Thank you! It is certainly much more compact than a standard D-bit grinder. And it is certainly also the intention that it is more flexible, more versatile. But whether that is also the case in practice will become clearer in the next video. In that video I want to sharpen large (by my standards..) 10mm drills, but also smaller ones of 2mm. In addition, I'm going to make a tungsten carbide scriber, try to revitalize some badly abused sandpaper scissors and sharpen an old wood chisel. I'm going to try and see if I can revive a 60 degree metric threading tool bit. And I also try to give some standard HSS toolbits and a 2 flute endmill sharpness and usability again. And of course I'm going to make a D-bit. What is a grinding machine video without a D-bit being made in it? Worthless, don't you think 😉 . Maybe there will be some more grinding work coming my way, which I will add.

@@Michel-Uphoff looking forward to it, sharpen all the things 😁. I think the next big upgrade would be a jig for sharpening the flutes of an end mill.

I should be out doing my own machine work this morning. But I cannot quite pull myself from this captivating series....Must resist watching further...Must resist watching further.... 😁

You've done a terrific job Michel, Well done!! And it only goes to prove that in the right hands, quality work can be achieved using Proxxon equipment.

Excellent!

I think that an occasional reference to Supertramp would only compliment your arsenal (a Dutchman’s financial backing got them up and running🤓) Man, you’re doing some right fine work. 😎

They sang "Give a little bit" and Sam Miesegaes gave a lot more than that.

I love your videos but I wish you would discuss more of the parts as you make them. Watching and trying to figure out what part goes to what and does what is difficult. I was watching this series because I’m looking to make my own and I like your design, but it’s a bit difficult to follow because by the time things are being assembled I’ve forgotten when some of the parts were even made and when they’re being made I’ll often think (oh, I wonder why he’s doing it like this instead of like this, or is that operation even necessary or was done weirdly) and by the time things are assembled I’ve forgotten about those questions which may have been answered if I knew what they were for. It also helps keep the pacing of the video and spreads the interest further as it helps mark progression

Thank you for your comments! I understand your wishes, but with these videos I am not trying to give a step-by-step explanation of how to build a machine like this one. There are so many videos that show you in every minute detail how to make parts and what there purpose is and how they work. Personally I find such videos (for example drilling two holes and flatten one plane in a 30 minutes video, accompanied by 30 minutes of chatter) often boring. If I did that too, I might have to spend 25 videos ore more on this build because there are a lot of parts. I try to inspire others with my videos. To make you think "Hey, that's different, but it can be done that way too!". The plan was however, to have an extensive set of working drawings made for this machine, precisely because I received many requests from people who wanted to build this tiny machine. Unfortunately, those drawings have still not been delivered, and I fear that will continue to be the case. That said, if you have any questions about the build and operation of this machine, you are welcome to ask them here, and I will try to answer them.

👍

Prachtig !!!!!

looking at the size of the collets i think the machine is about the right size for machines up to the hbm bf25 milling machine , think it be way more universal than a d bit grinder too , hope that once you worked the kinks out you will release drawings for the machine

My upcoming video will be all about testing this machine, and problems I may have encountered. If there is a lot of interest in it, and that remains to be seen, then I can make a sixth video with additional information and construction drawings. But I will only do that if it is clear to me that many people would like it. It is an awful amount of work to convert all scraps and sketches into a few easy-to-understand working drawings.

@@Michel-Uphoff like i said from wat i can see the machine should work better than a d bit grinder (up tp the max size aplicable for the average hobbyist ) and i think it be eazier to set up , a d bit grinder that cost around 900 euro
