SHOP BUILT DIE FILER

Horrible music

Superb I could really do with one of these !

very nice machine a very good work, today I dont find this machines , this machines are very useful , gratulations good work

Nice build. I love that you're casting your own parts. I almost thought you were going to put a pulley on your grinder and drive the filer with the grinder. :)

Nice casting project. Where did you get the drawings to make the pattern for your casting ?

Great work, and I always think that a die filer would be such a handy machine to own. I can never understand why they are such a rarity these days.

Witam bardzo ciekawie wykonane jeśli to tylko pilnikarka mogą być problemy z dostawaniem się opiłków metalu na prowadnice mimo stożka i tak dostaną się opiłki profesjonalne pilnikarki są górno pilnikowe

Great job on your die filer! I too am a fabricator and will build a larger version soon. You're very talented.

Excelente.
Debería girar la lima para ejercer presión sobre la mesa cuando lima!
Saludos

Great build! ... a bit fast maybe - and the file appears to be upside-down...

Nice work on the die filer and video!

Allen, don't know if you'll get notified of this, but wondered what you've found to be the ideal RPM for your die filer?

That RPM though! Great job

Beautiful job on building this filer. Granted this is a 7 year old video, but still a great build which gave me some ideas. Thanks !

Very nice machine work. I'd try to add a counter balance to make the machine a little more smoother operating but overall it is an excellent job.

Beautiful Job well done :) Isnt there too much shakes and how to reduce that if one day you decide too? Thank's for sharing...

This is unbelievable. Now I'm a little angry I'm going to have to learn casting LOL

would this be strong enough to file a keyway intoo a pulley ?
been checking the price for a broach and these things are expensive for the amount of times you need them

That's a lot of work for the result. It vibrates less than the scroll saw I picked up, but my thought was just put a file in that - yes I get you were learning.

I didn't think they made guys like you anymore.
Pretty incredible that you could make that from scratch.

Excellent. Like the build and the video production. My only recommendation would be a sturdier mount, as there is excessive vibration on the unit when you turn it on.

Nicely done. My only nit pick is that the drive plate should have been counterweighted to reduce vibration. Similar to the way that crankshafts have counterweights opposite the bearing. Though I may be over thinking this as a solid mount and reduced speed would probably remedy it.

Thanks for Sharing

Good !

Interested to know if you get any flex, as only one end of file is supported.
Also have you turned the file the other way?
Great video, thanks.

WOW THAT HITTING THE NAIL ON THE HEAD,,GREAT JOB ,,,,THANK YOU FOR
MAKING AND SHARING YOUR VIDEO

Welldone Sir! Great job! Hats out!

that is awesome! very nice work. seems kinda fast . I'm no filer expert but others ive seen were slower.

Nice job and thanks for sharing

Excellent

Very nice build Allen. From casting to finished product without drawings presents special challenges and responsibilities above those called for when there are drawings and a purchased casting. You should be very pleased with the final results. Hey, I'm impressed. I enjoy your videos and watch, however, I'm probably not experienced enough to contribute here in the comments so I am selfish and just learn and am inspired from watching. Thanks for sharing. Nice.

Very nice job!!
Thanks for sharing.

hi will you sell one of those castings ?

Well done sir! I subscribed to you channel after I bumped into your 4x6 bandsaw feed cylinder video. I was so impressed I've been binge watching everything you have posted. Excellent thoughtful work. Thanks for taking the time to record and share your passion. If you post i,t I'll watch it. Joel....

ottimo lavoro. complimenti

cool casting but the music sound like a porn movie from the 60's but other then that nice build Sr

Nice job. I also design as I go so the first is always a prototype. It's more fun that way and full of surprises. Thanks for the great photos, much better than video motion.

great work on machining and casting, it does look like it could benefit from a more solid mounting position though :)

cool build, I would like to build one my self. subscribed

When using a reamer bit do you use the drill bit size one smaller before you ream it to exact size?

Put the file in up side down so it cuts on the down stroke, wont push the work up as much.

i think trimming and balancing the drive shaft will make it a bunch smother. how is it holding up? might also tap two small fittings into the base of the rod, one with a check valve. built in air pump to blow away shavings!

Nice job :)
You might want to slow that motor down a bit, aluminum is just not stiff enough for this rig.Looks like you need to die files as well, you will kill a needle file pretty fast in that thing. They are cut to file on the pull stroke and resist dulling from running them in reverse. They are a bit hard to find these days, but new old stock pops up from time to time.

A great work and interesting project; there´s no doubt about that. But the effectiveness of that die filer is so lousy, that I doubt that machine could be ever get back in series production again.

it is better if you make this machin up side down if not machin wear out by fialling chipes soon

хУЕТТА!

Nice job I'm thinking about making one of these, I might just buy the castings though. Thanks again very informative video.

Everything is really awesome except for that badly non-supporting table you mounted it to, which lets it vibrate so much. Kind of a waste of such nice engineering. Get a more stable mount!
