Ya he comentado que soy un guardador compulsivo. Es difícil que yo tire a la basura algo que potencialmente pueda servir, aunque sea como pisapapeles. Por tal motivo, cuando hace tres años un "amigo" me devolvió quemada mi querida amoladora de mano, decidí archivarla en el garage a espera de alguna oportunidad. Hace poco me decidí a darle un destino útil, y acá vamos.
I commented that I am a compulsive keeper. It is difficult for me to throw away something that could potentially serve, even as a paperweight. Therefore, when three years ago a "friend" gave me back burned my dear hand grinder, I decided to file it in the garage waiting for a chance. I recently decided to give it a useful destination, and here we go.

Signing UpStep 1: La necesidad es madre del ingenio (necessity is mother of invention)
Lo primero que se necesita es una esposa que cada vez que se dispone a hervir fideos, pregunte "¿hay queso rallado?". En casa no compramos esos quesos que vienen en sobrecitos, porque son caros y suelen tener gusto a cáscara o a humedad. Preferimos comprar un trozo de queso de rallar no muy caro, dejarlo en la heladera hasta que sazone, e ir rallándolo a medida que se necesita. Yo tengo un rallador a manija que heredé de mi madre, es bueno pero solo sirve para rallar queso. Intenté dos o tres veces rallar zanahoria, pero es más el trabajo de limpiarlo que el que se ahorra uno con él. Consecuentemente, me dije "necesito un rallador multifunción, y lo voy a hacer yo mismo".
Destripé totalmente la vieja amoladora, y luego de analizar la factibilidad del proyecto, corté el eje del rotor en la parte donde comienza el bobinado. Me quedé con la parte de adelante o cabezal, y lo demás... no, no lo tiré, lo guardé para otra vez. (!)
The first thing you need is a wife that every time she goes to boil noodles, ask "Is there grated cheese?". At home we don't buy those cheeses that come in packets, because they are expensive and tend to taste shell or moisture. We prefer to buy a piece of cheese for grate, not too expensive, leave it in the refrigerator to season, and grate it as needed. I have a handle grater that I inherited from my mother, it is good but only serves to grate cheese. I tried two or three times to grate carrot, but is more work to clean it than you saves using it. Consequently, I said "I need a multifunction grater, and I'll do it myself".
Completely gutted the old grinder, and after analyzing the feasibility of the project, cut the rotor shaft in the part where the winding starts. I kept the front or head, and the rest ... no, I don't threw it, I kept it for another time (!)

Porque mi español es malo, voy a traducir del Inglés, también. Yo no quiero a "robar su trueno", pero tengo una idea (o dos) para usted. Para el disco de metal, una tapa de olla de cocina usado, tal vez? Aquí en los EE.UU., tenemos una tienda llamada "Harbor Freight" donde se puede comprar herramientas muy barato .. Por ejemplo, la amoladora, cuando está en venta, cuesta aproximadamente $ 10, pero es basura hecha en China, por supuesto!. Otra idea es utilizar un motor de taladro. Y la última idea es un regulador de velocidad para variar la velocidad del motor eléctrico. Bien hecho y gracias por tu gran instructables!
Because my Spanish is bad, I will translate from English, too. I do not want to "steal your thunder" but I have an idea (or two) for you. For the metal disk, a used cooking pot lid, maybe? Here in the U.S., we have a store called Harbor Freight where you can buy very cheap tools .. For example, the grinder, when it's on sale, costs approximately $ 10, but is junk - made in China, of course!. Another idea is to use a drill motor. And the last idea is a speed regulator to vary the speed of the electric motor. Well done and thanks for your great instructables
This grater has no motor, it is "by muscle".
I am a moderate ecologist as you, too. I have done some solar cookers, but I never get the minimum response from others.
I have seen here (Spain) Moulinex electric grater, which it does is turn a cone (several types), the grating, the product is within the cone, which is habierto the distal end, dropping the scratches,
It would be like you've mounted the disk, but instead of grating by the circular, the song does, only that is longer and that is where you have holes, slots, ...
you can see in the picture attached
I hope you help
congratulations on your work, you are an inspiration
I have an old grater with handle, which has a cylinder where the Moulinex has the cone. It's great for grating cheese, but for carrots is a mess, and besides the very tiny grating.
The disc is a little better than the cylinder, it was discovered when they began to use the primitive gramophones. I can make quickly new disks with different characteristics. Even the after cleaning is easier and faster with a disc than a cylinder or cone.
he visto por aqui (españa) un rallador electrico moulinex, que lo que hace es girar un cono (tiene varios tipos), al rallar, el producto queda dentro del cono, que esta habierto por el extremo distal, dejando caer las ralladuras,
Sería como el disco que has montado, pero en lugar de rallar por la parte circular, lo hace por el canto, solo que es mas largo y es alli donde tiene los agujeros, ranuras,...
lo puedes ver en la imagen adjunta
espero que te ayude
enhorabuena por tu trabajo, eres una inspiracion
Yo tengo un viejo rallador a manija, que tiene un cilindro en el lugar donde el Moulinex tiene el cono. Es muy bueno para rallar queso, pero con la zanahoria se hace un enchastre, y además la ralla muy finita.
El disco es un poco mejor que el cilindro, eso se descubrió cuando se empezaron a usar los primitivos gramófonos. Yo puedo hacer rápidamente nuevos discos con diferentes características. Incluso para la limpieza posterior, es más rápida y sencilla con un disco que con un cilindro o cono.
Or maybe is better to say "it is done with an angle grinder's corpse"
Please read my response at mikeasaurus's comment.
¿Puedo sugerirte algo?
He pensado en como evitar que se quede el queso/zanahoria en el espacio entre discos.
Quizás si eliminas la cuarta parte del disco de plastico ( la mas cercana a la abertura lateral ) preparando una tobera/rampa puedes hacer que caiga por ahí y se deslice hasta el plato, o incluso adaptarlo para enroscar un frasco y que quede automaticamente envasado.
Otra opcion es poner una sola aspa que gire solidaria al disco rayador y cubra el espacio entre los dos discos y asi mueva y empuje lo que ya has rayado.
Incluso las dos opciones al tiempo, pueden dar buen resultado.
Seguiré tus instructables son intenrés.
un saludo.
I'll try to translate for everyone else :).
To avoid keep cheese or carrot between discs, cutting a quarter part of plastic disco the one near to lateral hollow maybe can solve the problem, also a slide ramp to a dish or even a jar can be builded to extract it quickly .
Another option is make a spining blade to push cheese/carrot to the hollow.
Both of them also are compatible.
Tus sugerencias son interesantes, veré si puedo hacerme un tiempito la semana entrante para probarlas. Voy a estar muy ocupado porque vienen albañiles a rehacer un galponcito que tengo en el fondo, cosa de poder instalar mi modesto taller ahí.
Thank you for your compliment, I think don't deserve it.
Your suggestions are interesting, I'll see if I can do a little time next week for testing. I'll be very busy because builders come to redo a small shed I have in the background, so I can install my humble workshop there.
I've been working on my own homemade cheese grater, too. I may have to borrow a few of your great ideas here.
That day I discovered the ICCTPAT (impalpable cheese cloud that permeates all things).
A few minutes after, I dismantled the device. Days ago I found its rests into my stuff, and put them to fire. That story would have been interesting to "my Featured Author"
I was secretly hoping that you had just modified the grinding wheel to grate cheese very, very quickly. But this is probably safer. :-D

¿Too many English errors?

A few hours ago I grated carrot, and as I expected, it was almost all within the cavity under the disc. But I had no problem in passing it from there into the salad bowl. Also, remove the disk and rinse everything is very simple. Very easier than the purchased grater.
Are you sure that all stainless steel alloys are diamagnetic?
Some weeks ago I found a large sheet of stainless steel during my bicycle rides, but I could not carry it to my house because it was too big and I had no way to cut a slice. It was a little wrinkled, but that is easily solved.
That "friend" that burned my grinder, killed the goose that lays the golden eggs, I never lent him a tool another time.
Hello embochner, the story is in the intro. The grinder was walking phenomenon, I lent it and they used it to match all the hardwood flooring! It said no more. I hate people who do not care what belongs others.
