AEG | German Bench Grinder | Restoration & Modification | 4K
I have been looking for a suitable polishing machine for a long time because I always have to polish when restoring. Unfortunately, the compatibility of newer models is somewhat limited and older ones are extremely rare. Since I'm The Restoration Guy anyway, I decided to restore an older bench grinder and then modify it for my purposes.
In case someone is wondering why I have reduced the bench grinder from 380V to 230V, the connections in my workshop are very limited, for this reason it was easier to change the bench grinder as to lay new cables.
How to connect the electric motor 380V to 220V:

Nice restoration! One remark: Your earth (yellow/green) wire should always be the longest, not the phase (brown) or neutral (blue) wire. In case you accidentally pull the cable out, the last one to go is the earth.
Thanks for the tip, some have already noted that. I will definitely stick to it in the future.
These old AEG products are very solid. I have a 40 year old AEG refrigerator. It's still appreciated that it is still running.
Some have already made such comments here. I am not familiar with new AEG products, but as the comments sound, they are of a fairly poor quality.
AEG is in the top 5 of manufacturers on this planet.
Ремонтировать старый механизм это достойно уважения для этого нужно много чего знать и много уметь.
You did a good job with limited tools and resources. I admire your work more than the work of a restorer that displays their CNC machining center, premium blast cabinet, milling machine lathe, CNC printer, powder coat system and spray booth, yada, yada, yada.
As Monty Burns would say Excellent ! Beautiful Job , Complete and Total Thumbs Up !
When you started polishing the id tag, i thought that was going to ruin the vintage look. But the result is amazing! Congratulation!
Working with a friend (who had a lot more confidence than me) we stripped out the busted gearbox of a heavy old Holbrook lathe, to repair the reversing mechanism. It did not use many ball races, just bronze bearings all over the system. The solidified grease and oil was older than either of us. In order to do all this we had to remove the belt drive system, in it's heavy cast casing. That part alone was over 200Kg. We managed to fix the bodged up parts and get it all working again, as intended. It is still a good lathe with a taper turning attachment and reversing on the fly. It is amazing how solid and well made these old tools are. Once they are cleaned, with fresh bearings, they work like new.
Your experience with these heavy machines sounds interesting. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I have a shop where I've been buying and restoring vintage shop equipment and tools. It's a great therapy for me to work with them.
Hmm.. something is telling me that these tools were still made for an eternety. Nice job on bringing it back for another 60 years 👌🙂
I think you do great work here, and show what everyone can accomplish without the money to afford a sandblaster and other expensive tools. Great job! I will be watching more of your videos.
Yes, I try to use as few power tools as possible so that everyone can imitate it. But strangely enough, many expect the opposite. Thanks a lot.
When he shows heavily damaged screw and you think he's going to say "Let's make new one"
We cant judge peoples handy work off of my mechanics, he takes restoration to an entirely new level. This guy only has 2k subs and his work is amazing.

I love your lighting and workbench setup, it gives the the videos a unique feel compared to most other restoration videos.
Thanks, I really appreciate that
A nice practical restoration of a good old machine into something useful again. Well done.
I love watching restorations on KZhead... but I'm always shocked by how many guys don't have a basic set of snap ring pliers. The cost about $5 US.
Estoy de acuerdo contigo, aunque para ser honesto, me gustó mucho la solución que le dieron al problema. Creativo, muy creativo, aunque si vas a retirar anillos elásticos con frecuencia, lo más apropiado y económico es comprar una pinza, aunque cueste USD 30
Ha ha ha u noticed😂
@@nathanromero3430 en efecto.
Wow you are the first one that actually do a good restoration you changed the bearings 👍🏻 most videos are just cleaning
Thank you very much, nice to hear.
We've seen hundreds of videos and bearing replacement is common. KZheadrs from Vietnam and India don't usually do that.
I was so glad to see your chosen tools. The wire brush and the Buffing wheel are a great idea.
Thank you
I have never watched a restoration video, of any kind that, is this long. I enjoyed every minute of it too!
Thanks you for being your first 😄. Be careful, this restoration stuff is really addictive.
I have a few videos on cleaning up a baldor grinder... Thanks to watching your videos I always get encouraged to restore old tools. Thanks!
Thank you very much, I have to thank you for enjoying my video.
Restoration videos are basically ASMR for men.
Sabado 2:30 am, borracho mirando esta estupenda restauración. Te deseo lo mejor, eres mi hermano.
This is next level restoration RG, love your work mate!
Thanks a lot
Love it, but when you replaced the power lead, the earth lead should be the *longest* wire so that if the cable gets pulled out, the equipment (and you) are protected as long as possible. Love your work!
Your work is very satisfying, inspiring other DIY'ers around the world. My 🤝 here from Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Meine Mecahaniker was here 👏
Your work is so good and clean, sadly I’m going to be a bit nervous to send my resto projects to just anyone I want THIS level of attention.
I love seeing someone utilize a power drill like that
My friend had a workshop opposite a motor rewind company in Sheffield. Mostly working on big industrial motors from factories. So we regularly witnessed huge motors, some approaching 1000 Kg arriving, some burned out and being stripped and rebuilt It was fascinating. Being in Sheffield we had and used some very large buffing sets on stands in the polishing & grinding workshop; well away from Lathes and milling machines. It was a great place.
Lovely job. AEG certainly made some quality products, that should last a good long while.
Thank you, I hope so.
Aeg does make quality products had a dishwasher that lasted 30 years, have a washing machine and dryer that work that long as well
Dont know about the quality nowadays
Everything was made in the 1950 60's that exist today is quality. But aeg don't make them not like this any more, there is no market for a 700 euro benchgrinder.
@@arjanvanraaij8440 Agreed. But it does allow restorers like us to get top quality tools at a reasonable price.
I watch a lot of restoration channels and you rank up there with some of the best! Keep the videos coming!
Oh wow thanks a lot, I really appreciate that.
Love that green!
Good job. The machine will live. Good luck.
you make me to dig antique stores near my house. love your video. thank you
Thank you for watching.
As a fellow KZhead restoration content creator let me say...excellent camera work and editing as well! I know how much effort goes into that. I see good things ahead for your channel.
Thank you buddy I really appreciate your comment.

Can I sub your channel?
Hi Restoration Guy. Great video! If you add a line that says 0:00 Introduction to the start of your list of timestamps, the timestamps will show as true chapters within the video. Also moving those motor end bells involves moving the shaft within the bearing - so it makes it much easier to to clean the shafts as much as possible of rust before doing that. Cheers, Craig
Thank you very much Craig. Yes, I have to change that. I only found out yesterday that you can set the timeline in this way. Thanks for the tip, I will definitely try it next time.
Que hermosa máquina. El interior está impecable después de tantos años... 💪
i just love how i can watch rust in 4k
Amazing how clean it was inside.
Yeah, I didn't expect that either.
Excellent Restoration Bro.👌👌👌
That's a badass piece of proper kit :-)
This is restoration at another level. Subscribed👏
Thank you
Mi papá, mecánico automotriz, tuvo ese mismo modelo de esmeril. Ahora sé como es en su interior. Gracias por el video.
Really cool, i love it when something becomes a new look instead of being thrown away or looking awful in the shop
👍
Great restoration! Love the color. 👍
Thanks again
you sir, are a genius and i m in love with ur work..
Thanks a lot
You don't always use the right tool but it seems to work out, nice restoration. Nice grinder too, worth the work for sure....
Yes, many criticize me for my tools. I will definitely upgrade them in the future. Thanks a lot.
Subbing. There are a few things that I didn't enjoy and I leave here for you to consider: Using the vice to secure the screw, without any protection to not damage the treads. Not using a proper tool to remove the circlip and finally, the type of paint. If you had used hammerite metal paint the end result would have been awesome. And I guess you know this, you really need a sandblaster, even if just because of the mesmerizing effect that it makes when people watch something being sandblasted. :)
Thank you very much and thank you for your constructive criticism. Yes, because of the screws and the locking ring, I agree that I could have done better. I am also a fan of Hammerit. The problem is that they have a limited range of colors. Because of the sandblaster, I still have to see how I can organize it from the squareof my workshop is already pretty full, but yes, people love it and I think I will get one in the future because removing the paint is always annoying.
Ganz schön viel Aufwand um einen einzigen Schraubendreher zu restaurieren. 😉
Das Werkzeug ist älter als der Schleifbock❕👍
Hermoso!!! que espectacular trabajo!! felicitaciones
I see you have a lot of tools from the 60-70s. Nice.
6:14 there is always that one bolt and usually it’s the last one remaining when you already untied all the other screws
Excellent restoration and I really like the color . Keep up the great work . You have a great talent.
Awesome. Buy an impact driver. Great video
Thank you
Excellent work!
Thank you
This restoration is so peaceful that made me to subscribe..haha...keep this concept on...
Thanks a lot
Amazing restoration Done 👌 Thumbs up 👍 👏 👏
Thanks, buddy.
@@TheRestorationGuy welcome
Very good job, congratulations. Did you know that AEG had the largest factory in the early 1900s
Thank you, no I didn't know that.
Such a beautiful machine great work
Thank you, 🤣 that name kills me.
with all the tools you have I'm surprised you don't have a pair of split ring pliers. makes the job so much easier. excellent work though!
Wow! Great work here! I wish I had one to restore and keep for my own use too😊 good to know another good new channel, will take as reference for my work too
Thanks a lot. I will also check your channel. I am always looking for restoration channels.
@@TheRestorationGuy nice to know you😊 all the best to you!
Nice work well recorded and edited. Thank you.
Thanks & thanks for watching
I have restored the same Bench Grinder. Good Machine!
Yeah it is.
Bravo, neatly renovated👍
Thx
Very satisfying video. Outstanding work and I guess this took a considerable amount of time and was seriously condensed down. The cleaning and sanding along must've took ages. The quality of your videos and the way you record the footage is outstanding as is the audio. Great work, you have a new subscriber!
Wow thank you for your great feedback, I really appreciate that. Yeah the effort is a lot bigger than you can see in the video. Thanks for your support.
I enjoyed your video. I must give you respect for using the tools that you have available to complete your project. I know you've had much constructive criticism already, so there's nothing more to say on that matter. All I can say is that I'm very interested in seeing future videos and watch you grow as a restoration professional! I believe you have a VERY promising KZhead future ahead! Keep up the good work! Oh, BTW, you have a new subscriber!
Yes, there were some helpful and some less helpful criticisms of my work. Nevertheless, I am very surprised by the high number of clicks and the fact that there seems to be interest in my work. I really appreciate comments like yours that help me keep going. Thanks again.
@@TheRestorationGuy Keep using the "common" tools, I like that. I don't have a lathe or any assortment of high-end tools, you show us we can still restore without them.
What a great reaction, i also like the common tools that were used. For the same reason. Sure you can grow but you did a really great job dude!!! Finally some video's about restoration of both function and looks. Most of restoration video's are about looks. Keep learning, keep restoring. Greetings from Holland
Looks great, first video of yours I’ve watched, the fact that it was done with minimal tools gives me hope. I am wanting to start refurbishing power equipment and have been collecting tools and equipment, I think I’m ready, though I still want a powder coating system and a lathe. Maybe I’ll start with my 3 phase 440v grinder, it could use some tlc
Thanks a lot. Nice to hear that my video helped you in some way. I also have to add a lathe to my workshop. Maybe in the future I will find one that I can restore and that fits into my workshop.
The Restoration Guy I’ve been refurbishing boats for a while but that is expensive and extremely time consuming, I’ve restored cars, houses, I got into upholstery simply because I enjoy making old ratty things look new again. But my biggest attraction to restoration and repair is that I’m sick of this throw away lifestyle we have. Even though I own a lot of Chinese junk myself I hate that that is what passes for consumer quality goods. I may not be able to change the world but I can save some of the great products of the past from the scrap yard.
@@cm5838 I have the same as you -:))) Greetings from Poland !
Excelente Parabéns.
25:50 Your earth chassis connection is not good. You need to use a split washer above the cable end (to keep pressure always) and a star washer below, for a good electrical connection, Scrape the paint around the screw until you see metal. The way you have it, vibrations will make it get loose over time. Loved the video, hope you get another 30 years of use of this grinder!
Thanks for the tip. You are absolutely right. I don't want to show people the wrong way. I will definitely attach the ground wire properly. Thanks a lot.
@@TheRestorationGuy The protective conductor (ground) must be as long or longer as the others. In the event that the cable is pulled out of the housing, the protective conductor must be the last one to be pulled out to protect against electric shock.
Thanks for the hint, I will definitely stick to it in the future.
잘 보고 갑니다. 감사합니다.
I like the way of starting.....superb
The reason you had a hard time removing the last screw was because you removed all the other screws first and the last screw was now holding all the stress. Slightly loosen all the screws first before you start removing any of them out. You do great work!
I subbed just because of that awesome intro logo. Great video too.
Thanks a lot. You are the first to rate the intro. I thought the long hours of work would have been unnecessary.
Yeah, I like the intro too - restoring the logo, to start the video 👍
Von der mechanischen Restauration her super, in der Umsetzung der Elektrik in einigen Punkten grenzwertig (Germany) trotzdem ein klares Super
A pleasure to watch!
Me yelling at my phone untill 5:00 take the woodruff key out you live and learn, but over all great video
🤣 Thank you
Отличный аппарат!
I like that, shades of The Really Random Channel. you got a new subscriber here.

Man I bought one of those automatic wire strippers for $40 at home depot and I do not regret that decision.
As always a good video. Learning a lot.
I like how his wooden handled screw driver is his most used tool in this video 😂
Nicely done!
Thank you
Ottimo lavoro, complimenti!
Toda mi admiración para ustedes, es un trabajo magnífico. Salvo por un detalle, que si me permiten, creo que se puede modificar en el futuro. En esta máquina los rodamientos funcionan con el aro interior girando con el eje, por tanto llevan un ajuste más apretado entre el eje y el rodamiento. Que entre el alojamiento o carcasa y el aro exterior del rodamiento, donde ambas partes, aro exterior de rodamiento y carcasa permanecen estacionarias y por lo tanto llevan un ajuste más holgado. Así que idealmente primero se colocan los rodamientos sobre el eje, impulsados únicamente sobre su aro interior, que en esa medida de eje, llevará un ajuste ISO js6 es decir -0,004 mm y +0,009 mm sobre la medida nominal. De otra manera se pueden dañar prematuramente los rodamientos por transmitir impactos a través de los elementos rodantes y los caminos de rodadura de ambos aros. Por lo demás me ha fascinado el empeño puesto en el proyecto. Muchas felicidades ¡¡¡
grazie della spiegazione, in parole povere sull'albero hanno una interferenza stretta mentre sulla calotta devono entrare facilmente per poi essere bloccati con anello?
Как-то не очень станочек стартует. При правильном подборе конденсатора и верном подключении запуск должен быть повеселее. Ну а так, ошибки в процессе присутствуют, но в целом пойдет ) За тиски лайк )
Wow!! Everything in this video is amazing - your editing, the way you handle the tool, the restoration, the audio (i didn't mind the wind noise), everything!! Easily a new favorite restoration channel, keep up the great work!
Fantastic video.
cool restore

Capacitor from Poland :).
I'm liking the restoration right up to the spray paint Dam is that not a good colour, it's a colour I associate with sewage.
Very nice job!
Thanks
Nice. Please invest in a set of snap ring pliers too.
Great Job, i am german, it looks like new !
Danke
I have a Baldor like that. Nice job
Thank you
Is there some method to balance the wheels. The vibration could be felt in Australia! Nice video. Subbed.
😂 You mean the polishing wheel? Yes, I could put them on a little more. Thank you.
Felt here in QLD...
Enjoy all your videos, but on this one, I caught myself wincing a few times. First, when you removed the paint from the inside of the grinder; second when you began using filler on that amazing texture on the surface; third when you selected a colour other than original (which was so great). Like I said, great videos, but my 2 cents on these few details. Keep up the great work.
Good to hear. Most people don't like the paintwork. The problem is that hammerite doesn't have the largest selection. I thought the vintage green would fit well and of course I have to prime for the spray paint. But thanks for your criticism, I probably have to stick to the original color more in the future.
@ Mark Robert This grinder was also produced for the army - Bundeswehr. This is its original color.
Great video!
