I welcome all fans to craft, I propose to consider instructions for making electric scissors from a grinder do it yourself. Homemade it’s not difficult to manufacture, and the principle of its operation is simple. The author with a light movement of the hand with the help of such homemade cuts cardboard, fabric, thin plywood and other materials. If the homemade product interests you, I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the project in more detail!
Materials and tools used by the author:
Material List:
- hacksaw blade;
- steel plates;
- speed control dimmer;
- a suitable corner to make fixtures for the grinder;
- bolts and nuts.
Tool List:
- grinder;
- grinder;
- drilling machine;
- vernier caliper;
- file;
- paint for metal.
Homemade manufacturing process:
Step one. Making an “active” knife
First of all, we will make a knife, as the source material, the author used a hacksaw blade from an old two-handed saw. The steel of such a tool is quite durable, so it is great for making a knife.
To begin with, the author cut out a square from steel and drilled a hole under the shaft of the grinder in the center. Next, we cut off the excess and grind the workpiece on a grinder, as a result, you should get a steel disk with a perfectly round shape.
Next, the author makes the markup and cuts off the excess, the knife should turn out to be 8 faces.
Step Two Fasteners for grinders
We make fasteners for the grinder, on which the second knife will be installed. The author made the fasteners from a piece of a corner of suitable sizes, everything will be fastened with a bolt and a hole with a thread for the grinder handle.
In fasteners, the author drilled holes and welded nuts, with the help of which the second, static knife will be fastened.
Step Three "Passive" knife
We make the second knife, which will be fixed statically. It can also be cut from a saw blade. This knife needs to be sharpened, we drill holes for fastening in it.
Step Four Shield
Be sure to make a protective shield, its author made of thin sheet metal. Such a shield will protect you from chips.
Step Five Painting and testing
We paint the details from the container, now everything looks great, and the homemade product will not rust. You can test the scissors, it is useful to include such a machine through a dimmer. As an experiment, the author cuts plywood, the cut is smooth and beautiful. Further, the author quite successfully cuts fabric and even thin plywood, such a task is possible for a machine!
The project is completed on this, I hope you liked the homemade work, and you found useful thoughts for yourself. Good luck and creative inspiration, if you decide to repeat this. Do not forget to share your ideas and homemade things with us!
