BOLTR: Power-Fist Air Die Grinder.

Ғылым және технология

In this teardown we'll have a look at a low cost pneumatic die grinder. The air vane motor inside is the powerplant that is in all rotary pneumatic tools.
We also make a purpose built tachometer data logger incorporating the Rigol 1054 oscilloscope. We'll have a look at a few easy ways to improve air tool performance and maximize the capability of small workshop air compressors.
Thank you to everybody that helped make this vid!

Errata: The lower o-ring on the valve is HNBR. Thanks to xnutral for his technical expertise! From the parker website: HYDROGENATED NITRILE (HNBR, HSN) Hydrogenated nitrile was developed as an air-resistant variant of nitrile rubber. In HNBR, the carbon-carbon double bonds in the main polymer chain are saturated with hydrogen atoms in a process called “hydrogenation” that improves the material’s thermal stability and oxidation resistance.

    Oh, and the longest running joke! I worked at a dealership many years ago and one day tried to use my Snap On die grinder and it just would not have any torque and the roll lock disc would not spin to clean a surface. Well, I went to the Snap On truck a few weeks later and remembered to ask for a rebuild kit and the guy said I purchased a model that was being discontinued and there were no more.I took it apart to check it and it looked ok, just no power. Like all my air tools I had more than one so I took it home and put it in my other tool box.Over a decade later I pull the little red box out of my tool box and took it apart once again and after looking at it a while notice the inlet looked much larger than the outlet. Inlet pressure is way more than outlet pressure so I thought that the outlet should be the larger one.Come to find out some asswipe at the dealership took it apart while I was at lunch and turned the barrel around just to fuck with me. The bad part, it took me more than a decade to figure it out.The good part, I now have an as new Snap On die grinder.

    Dremels work at a very high RPM, they spin at speeds of 5000 to 35000 RPM. However most of them lack torque, especially in low RPMs and ESPECIALLY when it comes to battery powered dremels. So lets say you gotta drill a hole through a thick piece of steel, a dremel is likely to stop half way cos it lacks the power to go on. An air die grinder likely wont stop cos pneumatic tools have a lot more torque than electric tools. Correct me if I am wrong and feel free to add a better analogy.

    I mitigate the hose drop by having small extra tanks around the shop by the main outlets ;-) helps a lot to get that initial big hit on the impact tools to loosen bolts and nuts. But then the pressure drops a bit if you go balls out for more than 3-4 seconds. It's also good for trapping moisture.

You are right about using air pressure pep up the air tools, my cheap £10 ($1500 CAD) windy gun would only manage to adjust the volume knob on the car stereos at work, rather than wiz the wheel nuts off the cars, as we only had 8 bar of puff pressure. had to buy a swanky unobtanium bodied ingersoll randy windy gun. but at home when using my fridge compressor converted air compressor, running at 10 bar of goodness, it works like a $10 dollar crack whore.

Mine's mounted to an 80 gallon tank with what I believe to be a ~2 HP 115 volt single phase motor running it. It runs everything I need it to... 1/2 impact, ratchets, die grinders, etc..

SO really i could give a rats ass what you use, i've got all my tables and conversion slide rules at the ready. Fuck i mean you should of seen the mess when i started my business making filament extruders the engineer worked in metric and the machinist was imperial, so all our drawings, assembly workflow do dads, and machines were just cobbles of metric imperial and square pegs in round holes.

    JB weld would've fixed it ;) I actually bought 2 of these years ago assuming that the one would crap out at 2 AM the night before a race at the worst possible time.Because I figured nobody would bother stealing a cheapo tool from the race trailer for their shop toolbox and they didnt.Now some 15+ years later the one is still kicking (in my home garage)although the backup died after getting dropped in the bay. We used to go through a lot of cheap shop tools (good ones too)so I learned early on to tear them apart and give them a good cleaning,debur and a shot of real grease before letting the shop monkeys at them.If I did that I got pretty much the same lifespan from most of the cheapo stuff in the hands of the monkeys as we did with the better quality stuff.Because the essentially tortured everything to death no matter what it was.

    Nice trick with the coil and the magnet, and I'd be interested in knowing more about how you picked the particular coil and what kind it was. The last time I needed to do something like this, I used an optointerrupter mounted to one of those small radio shack boards and a bit of tape on the shaft of the motor that I was trying to measure (a sewing machine motor). It worked, and I didn't have to worry about anything flying off at me and changing the state of my eyeballs...
