Broken Japanese Sander Restoration

So due to the worldwide crisis we are facing at the moment all of my bigger projects are on hold as i cant get any parts but i do have enough materials in stock to restore this cool old sander i have, its made by Nitto Kohki and im not sure of its age but it looks pretty old. It doesn't work just now but by the end of the episode it will ;)

So lets crack on!

First thing i do as always is to give the item a good check over to asses the condition then if all is good i proceed to taking it all apart. Taking this sander apart was a piece of cake and only took very basic tools which is nice for a change. Once apart it was clear to see why the sander wasn't working. Due to age the internal air hose had dried out and broken into several pieces , Nice easy fix :) I then proceeded to sandblast all the parts that were painted and treated all the rusty fixings in a bath of deox c. While the rust was being dissolved i prepped and primed the parts i had just cleaned up in the blaster first with a coat of etch primer then a coat of high build 2k primer which was left to cure while i got on with the zinc plating. The plating was done with my usual methods and the parts were giving a nice yellow passivate instead of silver as i feel it goes better with the white body of the sander. Once plated the parts were left to cure and i set about wet flatting the primed parts to leave me with a nice smooth surface to lay the paint down on. For the paint i was tempted to do something wild but then i decided against it and went with the stock colours. these were applied and left to dry while i made up the stencil to replicate the original lettering on the top case. The stencil was applied and surrounding areas masked off and then it was given a coat of black before being unmasked and clear coated to seal in the lettering. I then set about the next job which was buffing and polishing the rest of the parts needed to put the sander back together this was done with a polishing mop in my pillar drill. Then it was simply a case of re-assembly.

I hope you enjoy it and ill see you all in the next video.
