Hello welcome to Enots engineering
I'm Alan in today's video we solve a problem about space.
I've got a tool and cutter grinder which you want to move over to
the same bench as my table grinder the problem is it's not big enough for both
so how do we overcome it? So let's go into the workshop see what happens this
is where more grinding machine is at the moment which I haven't used since I've
made the tool and cutter grinder so what I wanted to do is put the tool and
cutter grinder here and take this away but I don't want to get rid of it
because I know as soon as I do I'll need it. So what I will try and do is make
it available that out of the way so the first job is to get rid of the table top
here and try and sort out something new. With the grinder removed I can take the work top off.
Below that you can see a compressor and the storage box
Now with the top taken off this is what I've done so far I've got two old door
hinges which I've bolted to the frame and found this piece of board which I,ve
bolted to the hinges now the board will fold up and the grinder can fit on top
of this board and fold down underneath the table and when I don't need it will
fould backwards out the way. Using a brad point bit
Drill two holes to mount the grinder it's a brad point.
let's tighten the two bolts up there. So now when I lift it up it locks into there
All I have to do is put a lever on to unlock it. And then make a leg for it to hold it the
right hight
You see on the handle I've drilled a small hole in the end so that I can put the
cable tie through
This is going to be the support leg for the table what I'm going to do is use
this which use a support leg off a bath I kept it because of the threaded bar.
just drill and tap at the end there so that that can screw in that's on the floor
that should give me the height for the table. Thread on the end inside there I
don't want to get rid of that because this is a insert I made and that
thread in there is to hold the camera so I want to keep
that thread in there so I can use a tube for the camera as well when not being
used for the grinder I'm re drilling this at six and a half
M8 x 1.25 tap so I've set it in the
revolving centre so that its square using a handle on the headstock to rotate the
chuck at same time tightening up the centre into the back of the tap
back it off a bit
It should be square enough to do that.
The thread has just come through to the depth of that hole.
what I've done is turn it round in the chuck because the thread only goes from the back up to
that hole I'm going to drill out this side to the hole eight and a half mil so
that this threaded bar will go straight through so I don't have to cut any off
the bar and I've got a lot of adjustment on that
So I've got the thread going from about there to that hole. Clearance at the back, so hopefully this bar
should go right through so I've got that just screwing in put a washer on this end
and that will screw right through down to the bottom and put that back into the
tube
Put the screws back in and that's the leg base done
I'll work on the other end of the tube just making a small cap.
a piece of scrap aluminium
I've just made this small cap out of an off cut piece of scrap really that fits
into the end other end of the tube I'll just press that in that's this
leg finished. Now I found this piece of MDF from my scrap box and just drill a
hole through it it's a piece of pipe that I've got so that fits through there
I'm just going to drill three holes on the outside and counter sink them for
screws
and the idea is at the top of the leg fits into the wooden block and supports
the table now we'll have to do is adjust the bottom foot to get the table at the
right level
I'm adjusting the nut on the foot to get the table level and when I've finish
with it take the leg out and push it up out the way. So that leg also holds my camera
if I need it so it's got to job now I've got my cutter grinder on the top and
underneath the bench I've got the compressor and the grinder.
That's another job done everything put back in its place
