2x72" Steele Kit Grinder - Unboxing and Assembly Tutorial

[@DocRorshack]

It is great that you sold out of Grinders so fast...How about leaving the prices listed so those of us that missed the initial drop can plan and budget?

[@bfg1637]

I was just about to say this. Agreed 100% hard to budget when one does not know what to budget for.

[@FiredUpKnifeandTool]

Just about to say this also ....hard to maintain interest when i cant budget for something in the future or know how much to save up....i know origin blade maker is a solid grinder made in the usa and if these grinders cant match OBM pricing i will just go with them

[@HooverM75]

Great tutorial. One thing I would suggest is you guys might use some bag on a roll and a heat sealer instead of using Ziploc bags. Will save you time, but also look a little more professional. They come with white on one side and clear on the other also for easy labeling. Just a suggestion, but great looking products, and keep up the good work.

[@gatorb8]

I was thinking the same thing but thought maybe they just threw the hardware in zips to make it easier for the video. Not sure tho, haven't bought one yet.

Interesting that many bolts don't have any locking or spring washers. Are there any issues with bolts working loose due to vibration, or do you recommend loctite or similar locking compound?

[@organbuilder272]

Will, Very nice presentation. Nice job of assembly. This appears to be a simple machine to operate, assemble and has been very versitile in use. You should mention the cost of this kip and perhaps estimated shipping costs. How about obtaining belts for it as well. Is the first one included? You have done a wonderful Job, WIll. Long last your partnership with Alex

[@Sebula21]

Awesome job guys, so happy to see you working hard and doing well. Just wondering if the motors are 220 single phase or 3 phase.

[@dannyberg4294]

Sebula21 if I recal correctly; most Motors on belt grinders are 3 phase, which is why there is a need for the VFD. It’s a speed controller but it also converts the power so you can run the motors on single phase

[@Cloudstrife112233]

So, everything is either sold out, or coming soon on the website, but I don't see how much they cost. I'd like to know if they're going to be in my price range or if I'm going to have to go with something else for now. I'm really wanting to upgrade from my little 1x30 harbor freight sander soon and I really want to support you guys. Just need to know if it's going to be something I can swing when the store is stocked back up?

[@FiredUpKnifeandTool]

I think im just going with an origin blade maker the basic grinder single speed is 759$ with the added tool rest and easily upgraded to a vfd later ....759$ no screwing around with assembly just yank it out of the box add a belt and plug it in to a 110 outlet and go

[@andyb7963]

They're imperial, did you even listen to anything he said?

[@karma247ajm]

@@andyb7963 Will mostly stated the size of the head of the bolt, or the size of spanner he was using. A 3/4" AF spanner would fit the 19mm head of an M12 bolt, as 3/4" is 19.05mm. So, the fasteners could well be metric. Also, the belt grinders are made in Australia, a country that lives in the 21st century. Therefore, it would be reasonable to assume that they would use metric fasteners, thus, the question that I asked was perfectly valid.

All Alec did is bought a bunch of grinders wholesale cheap , he must of gotten a deal if he bought so many , then put his name on them when really they were someone else’s grinders & jacked up the price , same with all the tools had them made dirt cheap then sold them at a higher price , I,ll almost bet that if you go to the dealer that sold him the tools or grinders you can get them cheaper than what he & will are selling them , I was in wholesales & retail for 5 years so I know how the system works. I,m not dumb. If you want a better price just go to the source that makes the tools & grinders . I started a company when I was 29 by legally steeling venders from a company I worked for & even negotiated a better price than the company I worked for was getting now I,m 46 & was able to retire from the company with a $ 120,000 Thousand dollar a month retirement paycheck , now my daughter runs the business.

He's literally said that's what he's doing, with a couple key additions: including all the necessary bolts, including a motor and VFD in the same package, and pre-wiring it all. Yes it's flipping, but he's adding value by doing a lot of the more PITA steps for you.

[@randomguy3281]

Robert Lee yeah it’s not some conspiracy, they have said repeatedly that these are made by 84 Engineering in Australia, all Alec and Will do is bulk order the grinders, motors, and speed controllers, QC, Market, set up the web site, and handle the shipping. They are doubtlessly making a profit, but when you account for the work they are putting into it, they are not robbing people blind, and are still selling a competitively priced quality product.

Also, the hammers were made by a former student if his, which practice is the hallmark of a master craftsman.
