We started the grinder build today.
Here are pics of what my friend and I got done today, we ran into some tracking problems so we will try and resolve that problem tomorrow, I think the flange bearings are just a little out of alignment.

Here's a few more pics, all that's left is putting some plate on the sides to cover my screw up and paint , we had to move the bearings back a little, everything seems to be tracking good now but I haven't hooked the motor to it yet.
I'm going to build a stand for it and mount the motor under the grinder. Last edited by Kevster; 01-27-2013 at 07:17 PM. |

Pretty serious cant on that idler wheel. May change when you power-up.
Let us know how the shock adsorber works out. Did notice the depression/release handle for belt installment sticks out a lot toward the front. Will it get in the way of any slackbelt use? I always manage to find a way to work on something so that things like that get in my way, but that's just me. Let's see it in action. __________________ Carl Rechsteiner, Bladesmith Georgia Custom Knifemakers Guild, Charter Member Knifemakers Guild, voting member Registered Master Artist - GA Council for the Arts C Rex Custom Knives Blade Show Table 6-H |

Well, I did some more work today. I tried the platen and like Crex mentioned I had to shorten the handle. I also shortened the receiver tube and cut the wheel tube shorter. The tracking was out of wack and I was able to get it looking a whole lot better.
Here's some updated pics, tomorrow I start on the stand. |

Did you make the pulleys that the sanding belt rides on or did you buy them somewhere?

I bought them from Beaumont metal.

That's a cracking looking grinder. I wish I had the equipment to make one like that. As I have no welding equipment, and only access to scrap steel, mine is a little different. If you want a really good laugh, I'll show you!
