Grizzly 6x80" Edge Belt sander assembly (G1140)

[@jimmcardle2419]

Based on your review, I’m driving to Springfield MO to pick up a G1140 for my R&D lab. Thanks for your quality videos - please keep ‘‘em coming (as much as you can!) !!!

[@davidw2314]

Any chance you could tell me how close to the wall you can get the platten face? It helps me understand where it will fit in my shop. thanks!

Do you recommend disassemble to haul in a pickup?

[@kevinkorpela7470]

I see you have a vertical bandsaw have you done a review on it? How do you like it and is it 110 or 220V?

[@danl.4743]

Nice. I got something identical to that, but mine is cheap crap compare to yours. I paid about the same as Grizzly asks for this. What is that 80/20 profiles frame that you have there on the side? Building a CNC something? I'm planning something with these profiles to make a jig to weld frames....

Man t im sorry to hear that! Ya im building a router table!

[@danl.4743]

@@5thStreetFab A router. That will be interesting to see.

[@5thStreetFab]

@@danl.4743 if i can ever get it going! Haha I bought it back in 2019!!

Do you have much experience welding anodized aluminum tubing, specifically the clear anodized marine stuff? I am having a rough go at it.

[@5thStreetFab]

Ive done it but i hate it! Haha the best way ive found is to use an on off switch and put a root pas in first, then come over top of it blasting it with quick high amperage while adding filler and then turn it off, move forward and repeat. To get it to look decent youve gotta do it really fast

[@petem6291]

Very nice the big belt is definitely a good decision on your part , It seems kind of top heavy ?? I wonder if you filled the base with sand if that would be a good idea for cutting down on vibration and a way of adding stability ?? just a thought , your videos'are top shelf Pete M

[@5thStreetFab]

Ya maybe! But it hasnt moved on me yet! I think the rubber feet help

[@esin741]

What's your preferred grit for ally? And how come you stop making videos ?

[@5thStreetFab]

I like 40 to 80 grit. Haha its hard to find time bud! I have a few made that i never put out. Maybe this weekend ill put one out

[@esin741]

Yea man chuck them up...I liked watching your videos...so much details

[@ravindukalhara9924]

How many rpm and hp should require for this machine motor???

[@5thStreetFab]

Its 1725 rpm and 1 1/2 HP

[@19672701]

Thanks for the review,I'm looking to upgrade my 6x48 vintage craftsmans, I have two set up on one stand. Do you find it powerful enough and not stallable? Also do you think the rpm is fast enough.

[@5thStreetFab]

Unless i jammed something inbetween the table and belt i dont think i could stop it! Ya its plenty powerful enough for me!

[@davemaga2999]

Very cool bud, I will invest in something once I get a bandsaw first lol...I'll send you an email of my welding practice for you to have a laugh at 😄

[@5thStreetFab]

Haha keep up the practice bud itll pay off
