The mechanism will be used to build a chain excavator. The length of the mechanism is over 120 cm measured from the axis of the drive, which should give about 100 cm of effective digging after deducting the height of the device. Auger to the ground away from the chain than it should be, but in the machine I'm building at the moment there will be a supported mechanism right behind the chain, and there will be a second auger to the ground behind the chain
I’m lucky to have an 80 year old machinist living next to me , this was a great project, I played it for my neighbor and we both have respect for you
Thank you 😁 Greetings to You and your Neighbor
Yes. because most people wouldn’t have a clue to what we just witnessed.
Twoja robota i twój kanał pokazują że Polska i Polacy to bardzo twórczy naród, nie mamy się czego wstydzić na tle europy, po prostu jesteśmy najlepsi!!!
I almost wish I would have waited for pt 2 so I could watch them together, BUT I can't resist watching anything you upload. Really looking forward to pt 2 to see how well both builds work together. Great video! *God bless.*
Thank you 😁 I tried to do everything in one video, but the project turned out to be very laborious, I'm trying to do the whole thing and publish it before Christmas 😁
@@WorkshopFromScratch // However the timing of the next videos release works out it's all good, especially considering your previous builds which, if they are any indication as to effectiveness, then it will be worth the wait to see this one in action. Either way Merry CHRISTmas.
Spectacular video! Thank you for so frequently adjusting the camera so we can get great shots of everything you do!
Кожна Ваша робота це маленький шедевр. У вас золоті руки та світла голова, ви великий молодець 💪👍. Бажаю успіхів та натхнення у наступних роботах 👏👏👏
Lovely build!👌🏻 A suggestion tough, a support to keep the toothplates level right before they’re moving on to the idling wheel. It will help against derailment headaches😅
Cool project, the points to think about 1 Need to be able to change the end bearing real easy, because the seals only last the first 100 meters, bearings don't last long. 2 The teeth need to be balanced, ie 2 teeth side by side, you'll have to limit the number to suit horsepower 3 You'll need removable wear plates on the top and bottom of the boom, the steel hardness to be slightly less than the chain. 4 The chain may not be heavy enough to last a long time. 5 You'll need a cleaning spade to trail the trencher. Have a few more ideas but they are my own preferences. My trencher dug about 6 kilometers per day, and smashed itself regularly. Looking forward to seeing the final build.
6. Next time drive the bearings in with a piece of alu or bronze pipe that DOES NOT touch the inner ring of the bearing, but only drives the outer ring. Like we've been taught to do it in industry. Because the way it's done here, you're pounding on the inner ring and the bearing balls are driving the outer ring. And yes Paulman, If I look at the leverage of the teeth vs the links of the chain, it looks a bit flimsy.
Thank you for the hints :) It is very important to me, especially if you are a person who uses such a machine, we'll see how it will work in the final stage, I'm sure I need to think about a few things :)
Paulman50 I was thinking the same thing about the teeth, needing 2 on each sled to pull straight on the chain, instead of cocking it side to side. 1 offset like that puts the entire load on 1 side link of the chain. Granted, 2 teeth would increase the load, but it would be more of an even pull. I would consider cutting rubber inserts to bolt onto the spare tabs that tuck behind the sleds (or a continuous band) to help keep debris from the chain.
Awesome build you are very skilled. I hate to be that guy but 8:02 those seals are the wrong way round. The way you have them, is if the bearing had a grease nipple and was backed with grease from the inside. Unless I am mistaken the bearing housing can not be pumped full of grease. The purpose of the seal, appears to be in stopping dust and dirt from damaging the bearing. In which case the seal should be flipped. In this way as dirt packs and applies pressure to the seal in will close. The way it is orientated now, pressure will cause it to open.
Thank you 😁 You're right my mistake, I'll still be disassembling everything for painting so I'll fix it :)
Mexican Cattel is grateful to you for such a great tutorial. Best of luck!
You're clearly a very good welder and a very creative maker,even though I'd do some things differently, but whatever gets the job done is OK. I'm looking forward to part 2.
Thank you 😁 Sometimes I go back to previous projects I say to myself "why didn't you do it differently". But a person learns all his life 😁
Hind sight is 2020 vision. We always look back and say maybe this or that. Henry Ford never built a Formula 1 nor a Hummer. Well done "Workshop From Scratch"
If anyone can define behemoth it is this man. Thankyou for entertaining us and please keep it going.
Curious to see if it works as intended. Definitely will be keeping an eye out for part 2.
Thanks for going all around with your welds. Just tacking them is dangerous, in my opinion.
I love watching all of your videos. In the USA, we call those "Trenchers". I've rented a few of them installing water, gas, and electrical lines. I can't wait for part two to see if this is a walk behind or ride on version. :)
I was going to call it that, but I also want it to dig trenches wider than for cables, e.g. for a concrete foundation and in this project I want to experiment a bit with hydraulic motors because I have never used them before :)
@@WorkshopFromScratch I was curious why it was so wide; that makes perfect sense. Best of luck working the the motors. It's always great to learn something new when working on a project.
Something like this is exactly what I need for excavating a crawlspace under my house. If you're near Kansas I'll let you try it out and finish my project, lol
Great video, looking forward to part 2...
Thank you 😁 I'm trying to publish the whole machine before Christmas :)
Super stoked to see the future progress with this. Looks good. Not long ago someone has some thing small like this that needed a lot of work to get going. I think I could have re powered it and make it work. I do not need anything like this right now yet sometime soon I will need something.
Thank you 😁 Yes, it requires a lot of work, I'm curious myself if it will work, but if it requires any corrections or modifications, I will definitely show it :)
I am looking forward to part 2! It's seems to be pretty tough as well 😁
I thought I would deal with it faster, but the whole machine turned out to be quite laborious, so I published part of it and I will try to publish the whole project before Christmas 😁
@@WorkshopFromScratch many thanks indeed. It's also getting heavy as well. Merry Christmas to you, stay well and enjoy your time.
Polak potrafi, mega piękna robota.
I think all of the videos are great I am trying to put something together that will give me 40gpm to the attachment lines of a telehandler so I can run a forestry mulcher have you ever built anything like that
Great job...would you pls tell the specs of roller chain you use ??
Très beau travail 🤘🏻
Pretty impressive machine, dude! Fantastic work!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you 😁
Where did you obtain the carbide tipped teeth?
Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourself 🇨🇦
Thank you 😁
WOW that is an awesome piece of equipment your making. I can't wait for pt 2 and to see you test it. Happy Holidays
Thank you 😁 I hope that I will be able to finish before Christmas, because later winter may not allow me to test this machine :)
@@WorkshopFromScratch yeah I know it gets to be a long brutal winter in Poland.
Wow!!! Can’t wait to see that beast in action!
Thank you 😁 I can't wait either 😁
Good job mister well done can wait for the final project
Thank you 😁
what's that chain called? I've been trying to build my own chain trencher.
you make it look to easy, will be 67 on 12/7.2022 and i'm a little bit slower now. great job from a retired r&d guy.🎄🎄🕶🕶🥇🥇
Thank you 😁
where did you source chain/sprockets? How did you select the hydraulic motor?
1 ?, did the teeth that are at the ends of the plates cause torque issues for the links they were bolted too?
an extraordinary discovery, my friend, but I don't know what it is used for
Extremely nice build. What is the name of that type of chain?
Attachment roller chain
Looks like a work of art, it will be painful to see it go into the dirt
Well *I’m* sure looking forward to part 2! This is a really interesting build!
Thank you 😁 I hope that I will be able to build this machine in such a way that it will fulfill its task :)
This is so cool! I have contemplated making something like this but was unable to find the chain. Where did you get the chain? Or at least what is it called so that I can search for it?
Thank you 😁 The chain comes from a conveyor belt used in production and warehouses, as described in the announcement
Great video!! I would have done 2 teeth on each plate to cancle out the shear force. Just a suggestionen. Still an amazing work.
Who taught you to install bearings?? Outer race is the one to tap in, not the inner. But other than that, nice work
Ayeeee!!!! This some beauty!!....great job man! Love you so much!🤍🤍
Thank you 😁
Amazing mechanism. I want to know if it works. I can barely wait for it 😃
I always try to do the whole project on one video, including the test, but for various reasons, work on the project was prolonged, in the next video there will be the whole machine with the test 😀
@@WorkshopFromScratch i can't wait for it 😉😃
Witam a już myślałem że nic się nie pojawi a to po świętach taka niespodzianka Bammmm !!!!! Ogólnie to oglądałem filmik jak przerabiałem bandita na quada jakoś ten odcinek podoba mi się najbardziej inne też są super. Majster jak zawsze super robota 😃
Dziękuję 😁 W lutym zabieram się za budowę innego pojazdu też z silnikiem od motocykla 😉
Brutal bro excelente éxitos
Elegancko, czekam ze zniecierpliwieniem na druga czesc, pozdrawiam 😁
Dziękuje 😁 Mam nadzieję że pogoda pozwoli przetestować tą maszynę dla was
This is awesome! Just curious - why do you use washers when attaching to the chain @13:00? I'd like to learn more - can you help me understand why a washer is needed here? Thanks!
In order to increase the clamping volume of the screw to the plate from which I made the knives, it is 6mm thick, which can cause deformations during work and making it from thicker plate will significantly increase the weight, now I am wondering whether to give even wider washers
@@WorkshopFromScratch ah I see! Thanks for the reply!
Good evening, sir, great work and very smart. I want to ask you, is it possible to manufacture an electric scooter that can carry 300 K with the weight of the driver, with non-puncture tires, at a speed not exceeding 25 km per hour, somewhat similar to the golf course scooter (Caruca) and thank you
Great project.🤩How did you make the teeth of the knives? what material? I saw you welded brass?
Teeth bought ready for welding, the seller in the product description mentioned cooling the place where the widia is soldered right after welding :)
It's beautifully made, but are you sure that chain will take the torsional loading when those plates with the teeth right at the sides hit resistance? It's too late to change it now, but I'd have thought twin chains might have been a better way to go......... Though I'm still not sure exactly what it's going to be digging in. I'm picturing the stony dirt we have around here, so if it's going to be going into something less difficult to dig, the single chain could be fine.
I hope it will last, if something needs improvement, I will definitely show it in the next video, let's hold off on the assessment for the test 😁
@@WorkshopFromScratch fair enough. I just know the "Soil" in my garden would give it trouble. It's like quarry waste mixed with clay once you get down more than 15cm. I can still remember when I dug out fence post holes down there about 15 years back. I rented one of those petrol post augers, and the furthest it got was about 30cm before skipping around on a layer of half brick sized lumps of rock. That turned into a back breaking job REALLY quickly. 😕
Part 2 🥺🥺🙏😭😭😭😭😭😭
Hey dude, nice project going on and looking forward to see the whole chain excavator! But I have to point out a problem at the tip pulley you have. These bushings (spacers) you put to limit the sideways motion of the pulley go directly into the seals. But then the shaft going through doesn't have a seal with neither the holes on the welded plates nor with the bushings. If the tip pulley is going to be close to the business end of this tool it could leak...
I know there is a problem with this, but it will definitely limit the amount of earth getting into the bearing, so I won't have to change the bearings too often :)
good job, but i cant help but think that perhaps the front roller should have been a sprocket instead to stop the chain from spitting off?
I am very curious to see what this machine will look like 🤔
Klasa jak zawsze.
Dziękuję 😁
좋은 아이디어입니다 👍 작동도 잘 하는지 매우 궁금합니다.
what size chain are you using and where can i get it
Hey what camera do you shoot with?
Very good 👍
Thank you 😁
Your videos are really interesting. I like this. Can I talk with you scratch?
What is the name of the chain you used and where is it available
VIETNAM VLOG OK HELO YOU Vietnam xin chào tất cả anh em mọi người nhé
Hello were i can find that tipe off chain ?
@colinfurze needs to make one of these for his tunnel
Full machine cleaning video nextt plzz❤️😍
Super! Thank you!
Thank you 😁
10:50 sposób na dokładne zmierzenie rozstawu środków otworów: zmierzyć rozstaw dwóch bliższych krawędzi otworów i dodać średnicę otworu. Sposób pokazany na filmie mierzenia suwmiarką na oko jest często obarczony dużym błędem.
That would be ideal for drainage work
ну ты мастер с большой буквы ✊✊✊
Ох чувствую что-то будет. Жду следующую серию.
what if you put hard wood inside your square tubing for extra strength.
how do you get a Chain like that?
Can anybody please tell me what type of chain this is. I know it's at least #80 HD chain, but the tabs on the side would give it another name. I'd like to make a set of tracks for my garden tractor, because tire chains for them are junk and I don't feel like spending another 500 on new transmission.
Эпично 👍
God bless you ❤️🙏
Nicely done, but the design doesn’t look to leave much opportunity for modification. But, no matter how it functions, it’s gonna be pretty. 😄
I'm curious myself if it will work, but if it requires any corrections or modifications, I will definitely show it :)
what is that chain called!?
You should have hammered the outer ring of the ballbearing at 4.45 otherwise the balls can get damaged. Great video.
I was going to say that, but you beat me to it.
It's a plastic-tipped hammer, but a very accurate point, I shouldn't do that
Very interesting.
Thank you 😁
Cara e foda 👏🏾👏🏾
السلام عليكم متابع من العراق
When the next part will be upload
but .... but ... where have you find this huge monster chain ??? this chain must cost an arm ?
10:48 What is that chain from?
NICE! You definitely shouldn't hit the bearings in by hitting against the inner race because it puts strain on the whole inner race and all the balls. You should rather hit bearings home against the outer race, this way none of the inner shell gets any undue shock or violence against them.🙂
RIP bearings! You should never hit the bearing on the inner ring when fitted on the outer. Always hit on both rings. The best is to heat up the peace and cool down the bearing.
What is this chain and where did you get it.
The chain comes from the conveyor belt from the production machine. As I wrote you now, I entered the same sentence into the Google search engine and found such a chain
Why were the shavings blue
A ver, homemade homemade... Lo justo y necesario XD
"homemade" doesn't suit here in title in my opinion))) It's more like "DIY" thing because not everyone has lathe, welding machine, drilling machine, sewing machine and other tools at home ))))
1 : made in the home, on the premises, or by one's own efforts 2 : of domestic manufacture
От чего цепь?
Can you make noodles cutter at your workshop
Great video but driving bearings in by the center race is really not good @ all for bearings, you really need to drive thm in with the outer race, the bearings will last longer and thank you in the end!!!
Those bearings are weeping. You never install a bearing by hammering on the unsupported portion. E.g for these internal races you hammer on the outer portion only.
hello what is the name of that chain and what does it belong to
I found it in an advertisement, it comes from a conveyor belt
@@WorkshopFromScratch I understand, thank you very much🙏 where are you from
Witam prywatnie jak mogę się skontaktować z tobą
Where's part 2. Send me link
Nice, but homemade? i don't have a lathe XD.
Я так понял для удаления пеньков на участке?
Alguien que me explique porque no uso doble piñón... No lo entiendo.
