Grinder Build: Finally Up and Running

Sorry for disappearing for so long, but I've been working on my 2x72" belt grinder for what seems like an eternity. I finally got to chew up some steel and try it out. It's amazing how fast a blaze 60 chews through 5/32" stock.

240V single phase VFD in NEMA 4 enclosure
2 hp, 3 phase WEG motor
Operator control panel w/ tachometer (and SFM) display
Classy 8 Ball

Work in Process - Checking drive wheel and tracking.


VFD Enclosure


Revving up that motor.


Chomping some stainless


Now to get some practice on this machine and get back to the fun.

Cheers,

Dan
