Belt Grinder part 2

[@abclandscapingfx]

That pro-grade.....better than most all the big brands on the market. Well thought out motor placement and features.

[@steveschmor8674]

Cool got my screen shots and materials. This is gonna be great for my knife making and more. A big thanks for sharing. And for the critics Yes it's simple but when someone shares things like this it just makes it easier for others to get a better vision. Great job Jon!

[@WessexBladesHandMadeKnives]

super swivel front section...best I've seen and I've been looking at these things for 2 years...sweet!

[@dvdmatesi]

Wow, very impressed. Would love to see more on how it was built, parts used ect... Let me know when you have another video , plans or info on parts.

[@joandar1]

Very nice versatile machine Jon, I particularly like the head with 2 different Dia. wheels with multi position as well as a grinding rest. Cheers from John.

[@joeynovak07]

This is one of the most innovative things I've seen in a long time. AWESOME!

[@51barnfind]

Trick belt grinder!! Those plans?? I know when you make something great everyone wants one including me.LOL ..Waiting by my computer!! LOL Great machine and design. Thanks for sharing!! George

[@mobiweld]

Dude.....sweet machine......gotta get on those plans.

[@bluecrush4x4]

Hi...... I have never had any issues with the belt at all. I use a Power Twist belt. It was recommended when I was building the sander. I was a bit skeptical, but it works great! You can see it stretch on start up. I don't even really have it that tight. Hope this helps. Search "Power Twist V Belts"

[@rob16268]

The machine gets an A+ Not sure what I'd give the video quality though LOL... Good job!

[@yyppeerriitt]

Velice pěkná práce. Přeji hodně dalších úspěchů.

[@lmogden1]

i was in the abrasive belt business for 20 odd years saw machines from 6 inch wide to 48 inch wide half horse power to 120 horse and yours ranks with the best ,you have slack of belt plattern quick contact wheel chane and portable have you tried 3m trizact belts at all they go down to 2000# finish, brilliant machine market one for the diy market, it is all most people want

[@1Jwpeff]

Jon great belt sander .If you do get to making planes or even parts list I,m a happy camper thanks muchly.

[@TheManFromAlaska]

Great work on the Belt Grinder. I am planning on building one this winter when things slow down a bit. Any chance you could make a video going over your design so that we could have a better look at how it is put together and what point should be considered for building such a machine? Thanks -- TMFA

[@lockbuilder]

I have got to build something like this! Great Job. Thanks for sharing.

[@carlosfloresandrade]

Gracias es un Maestro .Lo que pasa en mi pa{is Ecuador no venden la cinta ( Belt) Tiene buenos experimentos Gracias

[@TheMinicSasa]

Meybe just the best one on yt! Very versatile! It could be used for woodworking, knife and straight razor making....cleaning, polishing ! You name it! I wont bother you for plans, since i think in metric! :D Also, this is one model that can be made of ANY size, with just about any motor, and any number of gears. One just has to figure out for himself what speed ratios he would need, and get according motor. Everything else is up to imagination ! :) Just don't remove video for some time of next three or four months. Not everything is available here! :)

[@sp473]

I found a couple of issues with my drive belt and it was shaking also. I made some changes today that should help that area and may also stop the sanding belt from shaking. Thanks for the reply i really like the design and I think I will get the problems solved. It has to be something in my work. thanks I will let you know how it goes.

[@kunwarjunaid]

thanks for the design the best thing i have seen is its simplicity , I hope you dont mind if I try to manufacture?

[@irekdz]

Hey nice work, the best home made KMG I've seen. And how compact it is... Congrats. Can we expect any plans in the near future?

[@bluecrush4x4]

Thanks Steve! I really only posted a video of the grinder because there was interest in it. I really just made it for myself. If I had the energy and time, I could finish the plans for this thing in a weekend. Just never works out with family stuff. Will see what I can do. Winter is here..... Take Care

[@fritz31847]

Jon Any plans available yet? tks

[@Damicske]

Ed Kasperek Check grabcad ;)

[@sharab85]

What a great design I can not wait to see some plans I would also be willing to pay for plans will you be posting details on KZbin or else where?

[@gr8north1975]

Like your grinder and would like to know where to get the plans for it and if you like i would be happy to do a solid works model for you. I have build a few machines but never a belt grinder and looking for a new project to do

[@Okie-Tom]

Jon, I would sure like some plans and a parts list for this. Looks like a great machine. Tom

[@muchadesign]

@bluecrush4x4 This is brilliant! Can't wait to check out the plans. Will your plans include a materials list? Especially curious as to the wheels you are using and the total cost.

[@bluecrush4x4]

I was in bit of a guess. I welded two valve springs together I had sitting around, and it worked good.

[@jrsue]

I really like the design, any chance you could supply some details??

[@geweldigaum]

Really nice job. Where did you get the contact and idler wheels?

[@thetexasyoungs1]

Would love to see plans and materials list!

[@blaeuboy]

Very nice machine. With regards to the plans, why don't you just make the hand drawn version available. Although it would be nice, many of us were around before CAD/CAM & don't need them. Cheers

[@sp473]

i just finished a grinder like this and it works but I am having trouble with belt slap. It just jumps up and down between the wheels where the belt is slack. did you have any of that when you started yours up. this is a great design and I am looking forward to smoothing things out with the belt.

[@bdrman2004]

Also where did you find that rubber lined aluminum wheel you changed over to?

[@doberman74]

Incredible! Any update on the build plans?

[@TheManFromAlaska]

Is there going to be an update with build ideas or plans? I know that you said your were working on it about 7 months ago and just thought I would check up to see if you had gotten around to it. Thanks --TMFA

[@coyotebgone]

I want some plans, Dude your awesome.

[@bluecrush4x4]

The plans have been the "Monkey on my back" or "White Elephant" you pick. I pretty much have everything complete except the CAD drawings. I have had several say they will crank the drawing out, but always seam to flake. Anyway, I am playing with Solid Works on my own and am trying to get them done myself. Never thought it would drag on like this. Thanks for the interest and stay tuned!

[@ThanosKaragiorgos]

Congratulations .... the ultimate tool!!!!!!!

[@izbiz671]

How did you connect your 1 phase motor to avoid inrush current?

[@algae1000]

Very nice design! Appears to have minimum number of welds. Where did you get the wheels from? Expensive? Are there lock washers keeping the tension for the position of the platen, or a spring, or? Thank you for posting the videos!

[@Pasdechevredreamer]

A great video and grinder. Thanks very much. Do you know how many feet are passing over your tool rest per minute? What is recommended for these machines grinding metal. Thanks

[@stillbashingmetal]

Great design, very flexible.

[@macbruceter]

I love your sander and would like plans, I love shit that's OVERBUILT.....Yes the cads are a bitch, I'm working on some for my Zipmax....., I want to build one like yours and am all too happy to let someone else do the R&D for a change! Keep up the good work and let me know when the plans are ready. Thanks, macbruceter

[@63raven63]

Hi Jon,awesome beltsander.how about those plans? I would love to build this one:thanks for sharing.

[@moparmaker]

Hey Jon, I would really like a the plans for this machine. If not, where did you find your rubber wheels? .......TB

[@Suricatamigo]

Good job I really liked it.

[@manuelmonroy3267]

have any plans to build this grinder?? Thanks Manny

[@erik61801]

im thinking about 6x2" & 4x2" caster wheels with the thin flat polyurethane bands for belt wheels for a rig Im planning, think those would suffice? thanks, nice rig.

[@bluecrush4x4]

Hi...... did you make the wheels, or purchase? The drive wheel is slightly domed and the top wheel is rounded so that it will track. That is also where you adjust. Hope that helps.......

[@albertobaro3909]

very excellent job two thumbs up.

[@bdrman2004]

You have made a really flexible tool. Did you design it in a cad system or on paper?

[@rinaldofaria]

Hi, Jon. Do you have any plans about that machine?

[@Mickyslist]

Really nice hrinder

[@bluecrush4x4]

Hi...... did you make the wheels, or purchase? The drive wheel is slightly domed and the top wheel is rounded so that it will track. That is also where you adjust. Hope that helps....... JD

[@pj2sp]

Wow! it the greatest belt sander I have seen, Great job. Wish to build one like this for my hobby. Will you sell your design?

[@tjn6278]

wow great design!

[@jcwinkel]

Great design! Jon what's the name of the red handle contraption you use to raise the motor when adjusting the belt. Thanks

[@bootsnthejeep]

Jerry, that would be a Destaco Clamp. Go down the rabbit hole. They make ALL kinds of neat stuff.

[@miltongwelch2707]

Cool. I'm going to be taking the ol everlast out and welding up a belt grinder this summer.

[@bluecrush4x4]

The main vertical tube is 2"x 3" x 3/16 wall.

[@paulo1006]

Hey was just wondering if you could help me out in any way you can, I'm starting out and making knives just like a lot of people and like everyone else it's defiantly the best I have seen by far what motor did you use and do you have plans sorry to be a pain and yeah great job and awesome machine have a good one

[@bluecrush4x4]

Wow........... Thanks!! It was a combination of all the best grinders I looked at and tried to put it all the things I liked in one package. I still have a few more thing I'm going to add when I have time. Eventually, I'll make a new better video and possibly some plans. Take Care!

[@bluecrush4x4]

Hey All...... I'm sorry for the delay in these plans. I have had to many irons in the fire for about two years now! I really started to get the plans in action and then things got real busy again and I guess it is one thing i can push aside (the plans) I have some of the parts in cad and some still in the works. Just wanted put out something nice. Let me see what I can do........ Thanks!!

[@Fabien_D]

Hi Jon, very nice belt grinder. I've also built mine and i face small issue with the tracking of the belt. When i start and stop the grinder the belt is moving left and right before it aligns, yours seems to be very stable! I can't find a position where the belt don't move, i can't let the grinder alone for 1 min without re-align... Do you have any advice regarding the wheels or anything else which would help me? Thank you in advance

[@A1986Ge1995]

@bluecrush4x4 Cool sander, however from a safety point of view there are to many rotating parts that can make for a bad day at the hospital. Some kind of guard over the varius belts would make it a lot safer. My hat off to you for rest.

[@2010teodoro]

Jon Davis , good night! You commercializes belt sanders ? It can send me the measurements, engine type , pulleys, etc., so I build an identical ? I am Brazilian and I'd love your answer. Valdemar Teodoro

[@odyfreak]

Thats the nicest sander I have seen on youtube. I keep seeing comments below about plans but I am not finding any. Do you have some? Have some to sell?

[@7602416553]

have any plans for this belt grinder if so I would to have a copy!

[@randymitchell2006]

Where can I get the plans and materials list for that buils

[@MakerDent]

[@williupt]

Where can I get one of these? I love it! You put a lot of thought into it!

[@jfcustomfab]

[@crazy8888ize]

грамотная железяка теперь я точно знаю что хочу спосибо

[@WisWeldingServices]

Jon awesome design! Did you ever get a print put together for this build? I am more so interested in the size of the main square tube and the main slide collar. Great work!

[@bacres8334]

Any plans for the machine ??

[@aiguille2]

Hi, what is the speed of the engine and what is the best or fastest speed for the band? Greetings from Germany

[@nathans9151]

Thanks jon. I'll order a 6 inch wheel too.

[@bluecrush4x4]

Hey Bomber, I'm still here. I will try and see what I can do. Sorry to drag the plans on so long. Just wanted to put out a quality set of plans. At the minimum, I will make a new video with more details. Thanks!

[@777jjones]

I want one, how do I get one?

[@bluecrush4x4]
