Electric Grinder Restoration | Hitachi Bench Grinder Video
This is Hitachi grinder that I bought from Japan recycle shop 60$. I don't know how old this grinder is. This grinder looks very rusty and run not so good. But After the restoration it look like new one and works very well. I really love this grinder. You can find out detail the restoration process in this video.

First one showed missing parts. Second one was complete. It's a working bench grinder kzhead.infoUgkxxC8HPnl24fu0XhMU_nbmWNEUoK1RMHXk . One thing I like alot is that it's surprisingly quiet. I don't feel like I'm sacrificing any rpms or power for the quietness either. All in all it's a very nice machine. No vibration whatsoever.
Hitachi Koki, I worked there 30 years ago. Thanks for your restoration.
Maybe it one of yours. Who knows.
すごい！こうしてレストアしてまだ使えるのは日立工機のつくりがしっかりしているのもありますね。

Великолепная работа , приятно смотреть, спасибо !
This restauration is also a big respect to those engineers who made such practicals tools. Thank you for them.
This is not a restoration... This is Resurrection 😅 Awesome

Machines like these one were made to resist 2 or 3 lives and, with restorations like yours, things will work for more 30 years. Congrats from Brazil.
Thank you for sharing!
Yo pensé exactamente lo mismo.
30 years? more like 100's of years.
Thanks for not wrecking the ambiance with some crappy music. Legend.
Sphynk oh this is a rare and beautiful thing
I love seeing old machinery restored, because it will probably outlast anything made in the last 20 years or so. Nothing made these days is built to last. Nice work!
You are like Hand tool rescue. No obnoxious music. No grinding through the metal.
Great job. I like reviving old motorcycles so I can appreciate the work you are doing even more
@20:33 I love the procedure for “dialing in” the shaft runout. What, no dial indicator? No trouble, just use a sharpie and a BFH! Well done.
God bless the people that appreciate old tools and keep Hitachi and Makita running in Japan. Those brands are extremely popular there. People need to look at tool restoration like this. "The tool served you a long and hard life and paid for itself 100 times over. Show some appreciation to what little good craftsmanship we have left, return the favor to the tool. Give it a rebuild."
Friend of the Earth, saving another quality tool that others would scrap or add to a landfill.Great fulfillment in hearing the grinder purr like a well-fed kitten! Only a true craftsman straightens a shaft with one perfectly placed hammer blow!
Very good work. Nice to have just the sound of the tools, no voice overs or music.
Ditto!
I’m ok with some exposing but no music!
I can't believe I watched the whole video and enjoyed every minute of it. Nice work, man!
Awesome work.
me and this SOB are kindered spirits
I love watching these video's they are so calming as well as inspiring!
Watching it is kind of relaxing.

Worth the effort, as older tools and machinery were built to last by craftspeople. If quality like this is or was available today, you'd be paying a premium to purchase it.
AWESOME! My biggest problem with these restoration projects is I always wind up with a part or two I forgot to put back into the assembly after completion.
Ancel Carter take pictures before you take of a part it should help
Funny story, back in the naughties I was doing tv repair and one of the first Philips flatscreens came my way and needed a new _”light engine”..._ 246 screws of 4 different types later the part was swapped... despite my best efforts the thing worked like a champ with over a hundred screws left over.
orion khan that’s awsome and funny at the same time lol
I was told "I'm curious enough to take it apart skilled enough to put it back together and sneaky enough to hide the extra parts when I'm done" lol
Use a mag tray to hold all the bits as they come off the unit, also, cover the table with a thick towel, so if you drop a small part on the table it will get caught in the material and not skid onto the floor and go down a crack in the floor boards. It happens!
That's just beautiful work. Astonishing!
Your restorations and videos are amazing. I'd be very interested in having a "total time spent" line in the description for each project! Also, a quick shot of the products used would be very informative. Was that an enamel primer spray you used over the polyester putty?
Impeccable work. You have dismantled every part one by one and cleaned them up with great care.
Very much so has the “my mechanics” feel to it. Awesome job. I couldn’t figure out how to turn on the annotations for this video though...
Watching it run again was so satisfying and I learned a thing or two myself. Nice clean work. Keep it up.
こういうのは古代の遺跡で発掘したアーティファクト感かって観てて楽しい
Good to see a complicated restoration without use of lathes, milling machines, parts washers, spray booths and the like - just good old craftsmanship!
Thank you so much, I'm happy to hear that :)
Jesus! All those parts! I'd finally get it back together, but then think, "Wait. Why do I have a dozen extra parts left over?" 😧 Cool video. Nice job!
I'm glad people take the time to do this type of stuff instead of tossing it rendering it "useless"
I admire the time, effort, patience, and passion put in to this restoration project. Well done! Very satisfying video.
Amazing piece of work. I was a bit surprised when you approached rust with bare hands instead of gloves. But looks like you have a lot of experience. I was amazed at your skill and knowledge. Hats off to you, sir.
Old stuff brought back to life. Great.
great videos as always, thanks. I love watching old tools, come back to life.
This makes me happy to see a Hitachi power tool being brought back to life. I personally prefer Hitachi over other brands. My coworkers have tried to make fun of my Hitachi tools yet they still run strong as there DeWalt and Milwaukee stuff breaks and burns up.
Nobody made fun of your Hitachi tools. Its all in your head.
Great job! Those old machines were built to last, unlike this new stuff that's designed to barely reach the end of its warranty.
usually people just make them all extra rusty on purpose just to make a bigger difference this seemed genuine and awesome work👍
Your confidence with the mallet at the end is inspiring.
you tube recommendations are so random sometimes. But I enjoyed this video immensly.
Same as below, Ive just watched all of this vid and it was brilliant, a lot of skill and knowledge here, Brilliant Thank You for a fab video.
now that is a proper restoration every other video i saw, they just prime and paint, and i love the fact you addressed the horrible rust pitting. now it looks perfect
hi. I'm from Japan. I've searched this machine. but it is too old and I couldn't find out. thank you for your great restoration.
Замечательно реставрирует, шикарная работа.
Your chain is amazing, you have a well equipped workshop and you are a skilled restorer. Those old machines are really treasures of technology and to restore them as new is a pleasant challenge. You are restoring antique appliances and you continuously are touching rusty iron with bare hands, it could harm the skin so you must care of your safety against adverse chemical effects, Good job and good luck
Que maravilla, genio genio, impresionante resultado, sé lo que es hacer un trabajo con ese detalle y precisión, Felicitaciones !
I liked the trick of using the marker to check for level. Very clever.
As an Engineer I appreciate the amount of work that went into the restoration. Lot of man hour this would be a $800 bench grinder..
Some things money can't buy ..lol
Ok
Great job, very thorough. I did like it when you checked the runout on the shaft, then delicately adjusted it with one thump of the hammer :)
Wish there was a little bit words for learning. It's always been a pleasure seeing good hands work.
Wow...beautiful. I did have that moment of, “ right,.. how hard could it be...?” 😝 Thanks.
Same here.

@@Lenny-nl1ce "He says what we're all thinking!"
Nice job, I considered restoring my old bench vice but then decided against it as it was my dads who's not around anymore so I actually kinda prefer the well used look of it.. Plus it still works great like a lot of older tools with good build quality!
really wow....i wish he explained all the chemical treatments that he did, but this guy should awarded the noble prize of single phase induction motors re-creation....bravo.
Absolutely incredible workmanship my friend. Thanks and regards from Cuba 🇨🇺
The new bearing liked the hammerslap onto the shaft very much.
One Word WOW . Beautifully done . Lot of Patience .Really Appreciate it . Great
The bad voice in my head would say "don't bother, they're not that expensive", but the good voice would say "that's not the point. It's about recycling and the satisfaction that you made it look so cool".
The older stuff is better made too.
Great job, thanks for the lesson!
Now this is my kind of ASMR!
So relaxing AND satisfying. love it!
I just watched this and now I can go to bed knowing that it's a job well done. It looks and sounds great. Good night.
I know part what is being demonstrated here is that given the right tool, each individual step is simple. But I still can't help thinking that this guy is some kind of genius. Gorgeous work!
Golden hands dude... Great job, well done! Congratulations!
He started with a screwdriver and sandpaper and got all his tools by restoring them. Now he's got another to add to his arsenal.
True restoration takes patience, subtlety, and grace. Love it dude....
I`m amazed you know how everything goes back,I`d have a dozen pieces left over!
That's the advantage of recording it for youtube. You can go back on your video and remind yourself !
Years ago I had a Fiat where every time I fixed it that happened.
@@BlueTurfer are you alive tho?
@@zackhunter5646 As far as I can tell
@@BlueTurfer I don't think so
Perfect! is set exactly, man, is really good to work with, and it's just after calibration!
It must be extremely satisfying to use a power tool you yourself restored.
Yes, I am really like this work.
I love how you kept the original plates
Otra excelente restauración! Quedó hermosa! 100% operativa y 100% estética. La estética es fundamental para mi. Siempre hay muy buenos trabajos para ver en este canal. Gracias por este vídeo.
imagine if someone 60 years from now does a restoration on a hitachi magic wand like this.
I hope that you keep it in museum and let you watch your masterpiece. Poland is watching you:)
Qué gran trabajo¡ solo saber luego poner cada pieza en su sitio ya es increíble.
I'm sure that it is better than a new one Perfect job and I was very interesting while wating this professional work
Nice job. Good restoration, thanks for showing us.
+1 for adding the safety ground connection! (21:28)
what a very fine restoration for this amazing Japanese machine !!!
I HATE when people throw away electronic gadgets.... Ur channel is great

That single precise hit with a simple wooden mallet says pretty much everything about your skill :D You're a magician! Excellent restoration!
Thank you so much!
Remarkable how you think of putting all the parts back together, screws and small parts, congratulations.
Because God created people to LIVE AGAIN ❤ everything is possible in this world 💖 THANKS FOR SHARING ! GREAT JOB , THANKS KZhead CHANNEL ❤
You could tell straight away that this was a good quality item to begin with...
The old japanese tools usually are, not so much the newer ones from the same companies since they're chasing profit margins like all their foreign competitors. The japanese domestic market (JDM) tools are still decent for the most part though. I found a pair of real old Mitutoyo vernier calipers in good condition at a grage sale for five dollars and my heart almost jumped out of my chest. I'll be passing it down to my kid...
@@LieLo416 Well... For what it's worth I'm an Englander... Most of my measuring/marking out is Moore & Wright Sheffield, England...(i have a bit of L.S. Starrett as well)... I've a lot of old metalclad Black & Decker & Wolf stuff as well...
Awesome work! Great that you can keep track of all those wonky little parts.
If you can't remember where the parts came from, you can use a muffin baking tin, egg crate, etc. number the compartments, and make a list as you go: "#1 screws from grinding wheel cover, #2 name plate screws, etc." Then just reassemble in reverse order.
Love this page 👌 not a single expensive tool was use to do such nice work 👌👌👌 subscribing ✅
@20:35 that is a very nice technique on arbor alignment. Almost every video of Gear Show's, I learn something new. mahusay na trabaho!
Another great video as always. Which part is more satisfying to you? Taking stuff apart, or putting it back together?
If you are going to do more restos, a small investment in media blasting and powder coating will save you lots of time and result in a more durable coating job. In addition, you can use powder coat primer to fill the pitting.
A lot of work and I would surely say some was pointles... However the idea to straighten the axle and check how to hit it with a marker was brilliant!
Fantastic, it's great to watch an expert at work. Yyou have done a truly remarkable job on that and saved it from the ever increasing habit of throwing it away, well done it was a pleasure to watch it. From Keith in North Wales U.K.
Good job, bro. How industrious you are!
Thank you!
I fell in love with this grinder! Great job, master! It would be interesting to see photos / videos from recycle shops where you buy :-) What paints and primers do you use?
Awesome work, you did the perfect restoration, I really appreciate your hard work. sometimes it's not possible to repair spare parts, we have to replace the spare part instead of repair it and you did it. Great.
wow the berings were so smooth after all the years it has been rusting.what a fine mechine,i bought a new bench grinder mahak mark and the berings started to make noise and got hot after only 7days.
well... nice job on the painting. But slamming bearings on the shaft and cranck cold like that? i would have heated them. centering the main axle with a hammer? interesting... it worked though. u could have easily used the old grinding stones too by sharpening them with diamond. I have seen a lot of these videos, and i am greatfull to you for spending so much time on this video, but it does look a bit crude my friend. i whish u the best for the next video !
How would you had the shaft centered?
it really looks better without music!
All mechanical vids are better although the childish idiotic music!
I love the way you straightened the bent shaft with a machinist hammer! Happy grinding! My grinder is a wilton.
absolutely a great job, compliments
Another fantastic restoration, very well done. It now has another 50 years ahead of it!
Thank you for sharing!
Amazing job, very satisfying seeing you do your work. 👍🏻
Thank you!
Beautiful restoration. Very nice. I wish you'd keep the original blue color, but still loving the results.
This dude cold blooded. And highly skilled might I add
So satisfying to watch video like this.
Great work! I think I will invest thousands in machine shop tools so I can restore my $50 grinder!
Nice job. Next time try a hammer finish paint on the body. looks great on metal, and gives the metal a real tough industrial look to it.
This guy is a beast! Absolutely amazing!!
