After several requests
let's take a tour of my workshop
I will show you
the machines and tools
that I use most often.
- We are seeing an overview of the workshop
This is my table saw with the sliding carriage
The main engine has 2,5 horsepower
and the disk incisor motor has about 1 horsepower
It is perhaps the machine I use most in the workshop.
Here we have the vacuum cleaner
which, lack of a dust collection system
will serve, at time, in all machines.
I often use this grinding machine to sharpen tools.
This miter saw is also widely used and is very versatile.
It has the defect that the blade takes a long time to stop.
This belt sander was built by me and is almost entirely made of wood
I have a video posted describing the construction.
This Thicknesser is an amateur machine,
but very useful for small jobs.
It has an independent aspiration system
There is also a video describing the construction of this disc sander.
This is a drum sander done a few years ago
Unfortunately I do not have any construction video.
It needs to be fix, and on this opportunity I'll make a video
- A machine that is essential in a workshop is a column drill
I use it every day
This is the lathe. It's a big machine.
. It is 2.5 meters long,
but I only use a small part next to the chuck.
It is an old machine and the gear ratio is made by pulleys and belt.
We can see
- This belt sander was one of the last machines that I made.
It saves me a lot of sanding work.
. If you want you can watch the two videos of the construction.
This was the first machine I bought, maybe 30 years ago.
It is a universal machine with 4 functions:
planer,
thicknesser,
jointer and router.
At the moment I only use the router, because some wheels of the thicknesser does not work.
This is the box where I keep the router bits.
several shapes
This table saw is almost the same as the one we saw before,
but without the sliding carriage.
. I use it only with these wooden jigs.
- This planer has a table of 1.6 meters in length and 40 cm in width
It has a 3-horsepower engine and 3 blades.
Turn on like this
open this
. It is also used as thicknesser.
I only use it for large boards.
This is a router table
Up and down with a screw
- I do not have any video of this router table.
This table has a lifting system that works with a screw
and that for each full turn moves up or down 1.6 mm
It is a machine of great precision.
This is a smaller machine than the first one, but it is more functional and faster in use.
- I built this band saw about two years ago
and it is also a very useful machine.
I will make some improvements in the future.
It gave me a lot of work.
- Here we can see my old workbench.
It has two vises one longitudinal and one transversal.
. In the lower cabinet I keep small power tools.
This is my stock of wood: wood strips
plywood, and hardwood boards
of pine, cherry, walnut, mahogany, sucupira, cedar, chestnut, etc.
These are my paint guns, varnishes and thinners.
The compressor has 100 liters of capacity and 2 hp of power.
It serves well for the needs.
Finally cnc, which is also essential in some work.
