I needed a longer wrench for undoing the arbor nut of the big Bäuerle table saw. This saw has a high starting torque and the big blades apply even more torque to the arbor when cutting, which makes the arbor nut become tighter and tighter. So what I did is to cut a standard double ended spanner into two and weld on a new handle piece to each of the ends. This left me with two much longer spanners which allow me to apply a multiple of the original torque to the arbor nut and to undo it with ease.
Nice Job Cosmas! That tool is much safer too. I aways feel uncomfortable applying high levels of force near sharp carbide tips. This keeps your hands well away as well as keeping the force required very controllable 🙂
Love it
Awesome
Nice work, you will never have that issue again and both wrenches can be applied in other areas. Which I think is the whole purpose of having a good tool.
Gut gemacht . Und durch die schräge Naht hält es besser .
very smart.
Cosmas my thank you one more question can I use adjustable spanner for arbor nut I am in the process of making my table saw thank very much again
Wow! You made a wrench longer. Tidy job though
"Now of course to _just buy one_ would have been an option, or to… whack it with a hammer, or whatever… but I think that… this is just… much, much more -elegant- fun."
Great idea!
Nice on. I always like your hacks and little inventions
Very Nice Cosmas! Thanks for Sharing! Have A Super Week!…..Gus
This has brought back memories for me. In the mid 80’s whilst working in London, I went home to Ireland for a short holiday,. When I arrived back there was no blade in my 16" table saw. Our company’s driver wanted to do me a favour, and have the blade sent away for sharpening. The blade was lying there all sharp. "Where is the ‘cast’ plate that goes over the blade"? I said. "I broke it" he said "and it will take two weeks for a replacement". ‘WTF," I said "… you do know that it is left-hand thread". He replied "I know now". He had used crowbars, levers, hammers, blow torch, and what not, but was turning the nut the wrong way. Just a memory, Cosmas. 🙂
What is your qualification Cosmos
Excellent idea, Cosmas!! Bravo!!!
Awesome idea
This is very clever! Thanks for sharing.
When I need more leverage, I always look for a piece of metal where I could put the other end in.
Especially with larger wrenches this can be a problem.
I’ve never known that you can weld Chrome-Vanadium wrenches to steel.
You opened my eyes on that.
Now paint or plastic dip those handles?
Buy one? No! If you have a workshop and know how to make one, you make one. Great video
I subscribed because you didn’t buy one.
well done!
Much better than buying one…
Bravo. Keep it like this.
Too much work! You could’ve just slipped a pipe or a square/rectangular tube over the existing wrench.
finish off with wooden grip,would look awesome
I like the long angle cut. That’s smart making the weld longer and stronger
Great job!
Well done, anyone can just buy one, where is the fun in that?
Yup. Build it and they will come (off)
When I hear a German say I need more leverage……well I hear a German say that he needs more leverage.
No but seriusly. I havent watched it yet butt I can tell you its gonna be big.
You sir are an excellent craftsman. Thank you.
I think a much bigger problem of the shorty-wrench is the danger of cutting your hand at the blade. well done. Franke bastelt Frankenschlüssel. passt !
OK that does it. I’m subscribing!
Nice weld, not sure I’d trust my welding skills.
Das ist ja wieder mal ein typisches Cosmas-Bauer-Projekt. Klar durchdacht und perfekt umgesetzt. [Daumen hoch No. 739] 🙂
Cosmas very good what size is arbor wrench please tell me
Mit etwas MoS2 Schmierfett (z.B. LM 47) im Gewinde ziehen sich Muttern auf Wellen bei weitem nicht so fest wie ohne. Das Fett verringert in keiner Weise die Festigkeit der Verbindung – meiner Erfahrung nach. Kupferpaste geht bestimmt auch (ist aber teurer :D)
Kaufen kann jeder. Super gemacht Cosmas!!!
Hallo Cosmas, ich sehe deine Videos schon seit längerer Zeit. Nun hab ich angefangen Sticker von Youtupe’ern zu sammeln. ( Only real good Woodworkers) Es Entwickelt sich so langsam zur Sucht😊 Ich wäre froh darüber, ebenfalls einen von Dir an meine Wand zu kleben. Wie können wir dies Handhaben? Gruß Ambos
Für was ist die gasflasche gedacht?
Most people don’t understand the satisfaction you get by building stuff on your own. Your solution is quite elegant actually, I would just have used some square extruded profile to hug the wrench.
One thing I’ve found is the satisfaction that comes with making your own tools can’t be explained to the spouse.
My only complaint is you didnt fully polished it or painted it, that would have been more elegant 😉
I love the bit about ‘just buy one’. It’s like these fools don’t want to watch you makes something…
Nice stick welding. I bet if you sand those down and polish them they’d look almost like they were made from one piece
muy bueno
Personally I just use another ring socket on the end. Do it regularly on the land rover for stubborn nuts. You also keep the short spanner at the end for ease once cracked off
Hi Cosmas. Hast du deinen Bandschleifer selbst gebaut? Wenn nicht verrate mir bitte woher du ihn hast. Oder wer der Hersteller ist. Dank dir im voraus. Ein klasse Video wieder. Und warum kaufen wenn man es selber machen kann!!!
another reason why its better then using a hammer is that the hits from a hammer will damage the bearings
Why buy what you can make? If you have the tools and the materials, you can make exactly what you want!
