BLENDER? NO, GRINDER

[Leandro Felipe] is no complete stranger to the filthy hack, as well as this video of his conversion of a blender into a handheld rotary grinding tool is no exception. (Embedded below.) however the end result is something quite beneficial — a lighter as well as a lot more maneuverable rotary grinder that’s got a great deal a lot more grunt to boot.

(The video is in Portuguese, however the captions work quite well, when you get over the truth that the robots equate “grinding tool” as “rectifier” a great deal of the time. as well as anyway, you’re right here for the hacks.)

The highlights are a hand-crafted coupling that mates the blender motor with the versatile shaft as well as chuck, bought separately. as well as the flattened-out PVC pipe utilized as a installing bracket. as well as him utilizing the motor itself against a data to “lathe” down the drive shaft. And…

The idea of the day comes when he holds the blender motor in a metal vise to test it out. metal as well as spinning magnets — what’s the worst that might happen?  Sparks, smoke, as well as a trip to the thrift store for one more utilized blender.

If you just want to see the completed piece, you can jump ahead to the end. however it’s basically, get yourself a speed-adjustable blender, couple it to the shaft of an off-the shelf grinder, as well as you’re set.

It’s an concept so conceptually easy, you may question if Hackaday has ever showcased a blender dr3mel before. We have. What else can you power with a blender motor?

Thanks [Danjovic] for the tip!
