If you need deflector wheels with crush sleeves, our 2" rubber contact wheels are now made by us, right here in California and they're on sale for $35 each.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Now I'm annoyed that I didn't check with you first! Thanks for the info.

[@douglasbattjes3991]

where is here in CA?

[@samirrana75]

@AmeriBrade Grinder Why don't you just send him a pair as a Promo. He gets the wheels, you get your promo. Win Win. : )

[@clydedecker765]

I know you don't need it but I cannot go without commenting again on just how good you are at designing and implementing great ideas. I am in awe of your creation and execution of well designed tools.

[@Freespirit5371]

Jeremy, the work you do is meticulous and amazing. Until I watched your videos on your 2' X 72" belt grinder I had no idea how useful one could be and also had no idea I need and want one. Not only do you do excellent quality work in the building process but you also are outstanding at explaining and narrating the build process. Thank you for your great work!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thank you!

[@Freespirit5371]

Jeremy, you are welcome and I want to let you know that I purchased your plans.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Oh, well, thank you again for that! :)

[@rivergate]

I do very little metalwork, but even so I find your projects, craftsmanship, and style absolutely captivating. You are clearly brilliant and I can't help feeling that some commercial industry is somehow missing out on your talents and skills. From the comments below it's also great to see you're such an inspiration across the age range. Nice work as always.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thanks Andrew!

[@mcremona]

Got my Jer fix. Had a bit of withdrawal going for a bit there

[@Eutropios]

Hey, I’m 17, looking to get into metalworking as a profession. I’ve recently learned how to MIG weld! You’re a huge inspiration to me

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Love to hear that. Thank you!

[@sapelesteve]

That belt grinder machine is just awesome Jeremy. No other build that I have seen on YT even comes close! Always enjoy watching your videos & admire your work............... :)

[@ashleynevins4458]

I couldn't have said it better myself. I am impressed by your design and wish that your were making them in mass quantities. America needs good quality products like your design.

[@palmermoynihan2]

Jeremy, I love your style and your craftsmanship, but mostly I love your thinking processes.......your communication skills aren't bad either......I have been done with my build of your design for many months now......I still use the machine almost every time I enter the shop.....it is a horse !

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thank you!

[@FireAngelOfLondon]

I love seeing this use of a belt grinder to help make more parts for itself. A lovely example of your design and fabrication skills and the advantages of the machine itself. EDITED for spelling.

[@RonFarberNewman]

You did something in this video that I always love watching Matthias Wandel's big build videos - using the unfinished tool to build another part for itself before the tool itself is actually complete. Great stuff! I've never been into metal working, but now I think I'm going to have to build one of these when I have a shop someday because it just looks so damn handy.

[@6099x]

highly functional belt grinder. this new addition is not only stylish, but also incredibly well built imo. so precise - its nice how the beltsander helped create a new addition for itself. I really think you should consider creating a refinded model of this so that i can be produced on a larger scale. The belt grinder and all of their addons would make a fantastic addition to any woodworking shop or machinist shop. great stuff Jeremy, you must feel accomplished :D

[@chesterbanner3093]

I think you have created a very innovative belt sander. The build process to date has been very informative and enjoyable to watch.

[@minskmade]

this build just keeps getting better and better and better and better.

[@williamfeeney2020]

I love your videos, please keep them coming. The fact that you use a hack saw to profile 1\2" steel the best. You prove that you can do anything with brains, elbow grease, and commitment.

[@pgtips4240]

You are a proper engineer. You are extremely talented and your videos are so inspiring to watch. I put you and Matthias Wandel in the same compartment when it comes to innovation and ingenuity and there are not many I would associate with Matthias. Take care, and thanks for posting this video.

[@DH-ik1vf]

PG Tips True. We need to get Jeremy, Mathias, and This Old Tony together to make something cool

[@pgtips4240]

D H They could design the SandingPantoRouterBandsawLathe for the small workshop. 😂

[@Vikingwerk]

Excellent build and video, like always! I think the consumable wheels on the slot attachment is the perfect demonstration of why the spindle sander was invented.

[@atomicboomstick2543]

Your grinder is probably my favourite self-built power tool I've seen on KZbin.

[@Stephen1455]

As an English tool and die ex apprentice I have done some improvising many times, but you take the biscuit! Incredible results with the surface grinding on the belt grinder!!!!! Maestro!!!!

[@Carnac311]

I don't do any metal work (and never really have much), but I still watch all of your videos with great joy. Well thought out and well explained designs, quality for pretty much a life time and good videography. Keep up the good work Jeremy.

[@Deathmelon_]

I can only add to the compliments of everyone else who already posted; I follow so many makers on KZbin, but somehow only your builds are the only ones I actually wait for with some real sense of anticipation and excitement. And I was not left unsatisfied today either. Well done. Greetings from Norway :)

[@captcarlos]

Jeremy, superb as always... That last frame got me. For anyone who has done compound angle preps for tube welding... I'm speechless. With a removable, adjustable fence on that adjustable angle work rest any angle of prep would be simple and repeatable. That alone would make your grinder worthwhile! Thank you.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

I hadn’t even thought about that particular use case. Good point!

[@ryangross5366]

dude your attention to detail and technique is seriously inspiring. i one day hope to get to this point cuz my god, you never miss even the tiniest details. its crazy. great videos!

[@paulkingtiger]

There is something amazingly satisfying about using a tool to make more bits for that tool!

[@marceaton3128]

Jeremy, your skill, and craftsmanship are incredible​. I always look forward to watching your videos. Thanks. Oh, nice welding.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thank you!

[@bgslade1]

Your design and workmanship are beyond compare, BUT, what I am envious of is your patience while designing these projects. I mean really, I believe you said it took 2 years to design to belt grinder before starting!! I would have blown into the build and then had to work out all the problems... 2 seconds of design and 2 years to fix all the problems!! Keep posting the great videos and projects Brian

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thanks! If you want to see how much the design evolved in those two years, I posted a screenshot of an early design on my Instagram page a while back.

[@AlphaBobFloridaOverlord]

You're a very talented man Jeremy. Thank you for sharing your gifts with all of us. I'm very proud to support you on Patreon! And, I'd encourage other fans to do the same - imagine what Jeremy will produce once he has a mill!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thank you!

[@oskah1918]

how detailed and precise your work is .. even the manufacturer may not be more precise than you .. great job 👏👏👏👍👍👍

[@trevhaydon5090]

Nothing but admiration for you Jeremy. Superb content and great video. Thank you for sharing. Always looking forward to your projects.Keep up the great work. All the best from London UK.

[@jonasfoellner5279]

Slickest and best designed self made belt grinder i have ever seen.

[@bobperkins4322]

Awesome as always, I bought a portable band saw for $100.00 now I’m no longer a hacksaw slave. 👍God bless and keep em coming...

[@stxrynn]

You sure have a fertile, creative mind. Your design on my wish list. Hopefully this year, I'll be able to fit it in. Excellent work!

[@neostrike1434]

I've watched a lot of videos about building a belt grinders and definitely your design is the best, by FAR!!!! I will buy your plans shortly and start building mine. Great work Jeremy!! thanks

[@DireWolfForge]

You don’t need a precision mill… you ARE a precision mill. Totally in awe of what you do, man. Heck of a job!

[@spencerwells4523]

peeling away tape to reveal machined surfaces is so satisfying.

[@vwbeetle5578]

Can you imagine how deadly this guys attachments for his lathe when he gets one. Another great bid sir.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

I have a lathe.

[@hypnolobster]

I'm so glad I bought the plans for this grinder. Looking forward to getting into building it this summer.

[@Poolboy28560]

Dude!! I have worked in the foundry industry for 30 years. There are a lot of Belt Grinders out there but I have never seen one like this. Well done!! I would say you should go into business manufacturing them but I also believe the guards and safety devices OSHA would make you attache for an industrial setting would greatly reduce the versatility and effectiveness of the grinder. Again Well done!!

[@dannyl2598]

Great job, great video. I love how you overcome the lack of equipment by using whatever you have. Your mind is the most powerful shop tool you have. You make good use of it. I admire that.

[@oliverworks5469]

Awesome work as usual! Best 2x72 belt grinder build! Bought my plans last week and getting steel tomorrow with hopes to complete in next couple weeks! Hope to be able to add on all of the attachments as I go! Cheers

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Great, thank you!

[@waltermila]

I love your fabrication and designs. You need a plasma burn table or a portable band saw for your cuts. Great work keep them coming!!!!!

[@pcat1000]

jeremy, you asked in another video if we have any project requests. i have been employed as a modelmaker & prototype / mock-up mechanic. a tool most model shops had where i worked was a 20'' disc sander, w/ reversable motor, & degreed platen table. i don't see them at auctions, & they are pricey new. 16'' - 20'' would work. love your design sensability.

[@grantdanby1607]

Really like your belt sander build & intend to build one myself. Everything in line with one single axis point & multiple attachments ... JUST BRILLIANT

[@PiefacePete46]

Slick Jeremy, as always! :o) Thanks. Edit 4 years later: My activities don't provide me with an excuse to build one... but this tool is still soo delicious it makes me drool!

[@marcoschwanenberger3127]

If every machine in the world would be put together with such dedication and precision, we'd live in a completely different world.

[@gmbond]

Wow the attention to detail is incredible, nicely built!

[@johnniewalker39]

I love the attention to details and how meticulous you are. Lovely videos, as always!

[@patricktdonovan]

Impressive as always Jeremy. I know you're a busy guy but wish you produced more videos because I love your projects. Always done so well and so creative.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

I'd love to make more but I don't have enough good ideas. I have a lot of ideas but they rarely reach a point that I'm ready to share them...

[@MatthewSkars]

You have probably already thought about this and decided against it, but I'd like to share my point of view on the matter as a part of your general audience. For your less finalised ideas, you could try experimenting with another format. For example, instead of a long, (generally) ≤ 20 minute video with fully fleshed out ideas, a format where you experiment with one or several new ideas and compress the content into a ≤ 5 minute "bite-sized" video might be more suitable (such as the "Super precise measurements with your phone!" video). As your audience (yes, I am boldly speaking for the majority), we want to see all of the ideas you have, even if you believe they're not worthy of a full ≤ 20 min video. Which is why these "bite-sized" videos, where you share your ideas, would help satiate your viewer's hunger for more content by filling in the gap between the regular "fleshed out" videos.

[@FearsomeWarrior]

I assume your dad is a farmer and you work for him. You should definitely get him in a video. I hope he has immense pride for you and what you're doing making stuff. You could probably make building these grinders with your design your career for the rest of your life. Again assuming but there has to be a market for overbuilt grinders for the hardcore.

[@Bent-rAgE-559]

I aslo would like to see that

[@Pyro17059]

Dude, you're some kind of genius! Of all the self built grinders I've seen, this is by far the best one ! Very well thought out.

[@iverson2095]

Your belt grinder is just absolutely awesome! Super versatile and clever!

[@TheGoodoftheLand]

Just in time! Starting the build next week! I will send you a link to the video. Great plans! Highly recommended!

[@mrprimenumbers6448]

I am just absolutely amazed. I really am so eager to get to the point I can build this, it is driving me crazy.

[@billybobjoe198]

I kind of wish you would make a tutorial on mig welding. You're clearly experienced and grinding out a bevel has really helped me get strong, pretty joints, even on materials thicker than my mig can weld.

[@YourOldDog]

Jerry, I used rubber vacuum hose and hammered it down onto to my spindles, works great. BTW really nice job on the grinder and videos documenting it.

[@nielscremer599]

Now that's some insane craftsmanship

[@ezekielbenavides2740]

can't wait for the Mill build

[@phooesnax]

Coming attraction: mill build. There are a bunch of KZbin grinders. I do not think any....I mean any approach this quality. Your folks must be proud.

[@asgharrezaei0138]

Good job man you realy did it perfect nice and easy .

[@tsmartin]

Great series. You might consider building a conversion for your band saw to make it work vertically.

[@neilsbergstedt]

I've watched most of your belt grinder vids along with some from other people and decided that this is the project I'm taking on this winter. I'll be buying your plans very soon. Excellent work!

[@gamernick1533]

Man I wish you sold these as complete, ready to go set ups. Beautiful work :)

[@keiserkoba9532]

I have always thought a belt grinder would be nice to have. Now I crave one desperately thanks to you.

[@DraGma]

I like your methodical approach to things

[@chirots]

Your belt grinder design is the best on KZbin. Let me save up money, then I am going to purchase your plan. The plan is around 650baht which is quite a bit of money for me.

[@Smalltime]

That is an incredible machine you've build, linking all the attachments.

[@JoaquimParis]

My friend, your belt sander is probably the best in youtube.

[@bgthemaker]

Really good engineering for the grinder and al the attachments! I am impressed

[@kaaelo0]

This is true engineering art! Loved it! And the comment about calipers just for fun, shows your addicted to precise and perfect parts, and that's a good habit to measure everything. You are a true craftsman. Keep it going Jeremy, you know we all wait for more of you!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thank you!

[@tommy0164]

What a amazing tool you have built!! Very talented young man!!

[@ataria5609]

Hi Jeremy! I'm happy to see new video from you. I was afraid you abandoned video making and I'm glad I was mistaken :) You're an inspiration.

[@tahseenashfaq]

Just love your videos, hope your uploading a new one soon

[@originalokieoutlaw4146]

I must say that quite an ingenious design

[@stephenwgreen78]

Makes me happy to see you getting so much use and enjoyment out of that grinder. It really is an amazing design. Someday I may try tackle that project...but for now back to planning out my CNC router:) Thanks for the video.

[@danielrgusa]

Amazing grinder. I know it has already been said, but it can’t be said enough. Great talent and attention to detail. Keep up the great work.

[@therealjamespickering]

I really wish my belt-grinder build was half as good as yours. About the only feature I've managed to incorporate from you design is to make it heavy.

[@EcoMouseChannel]

Thousands of 2x72 belt grinder builds on KZbin. Yours is the only one I'd consider copying. But honestly, I'd rather just throw wads of money at you and buy yours.

[@optimich825]

jeremy, le travail que vous faites est méticuleux et incroyable. Jusqu'à ce que je regarde vos vidéos sur votre broyeur à bande de 2 pi X 72 po, je ne savais pas à quel point cela pouvait être utile et je ne savais pas non plus que j'en avais besoin et que j'en voulais un. remarquable pour expliquer et raconter le processus de construction Merci pour votre excellent travail!

[@gatekeeper84]

If you drill the thread out of a nut and grind it round you'll have one fat washer instead of needing a stack. Great video Jer!

[@Sausagesaucey]

I love the progress on this belt grinder!

[@amircogs]

pure beauty ! With this much skills you can redesign boing 747 at your workshop. I literally wait for your videos.

[@roarlyng]

Great series on the belt grinder. I'm thoroughly enjoying it!

[@kookyflukes9749]

Enjoy watching you work Jeremy. Great production values and content as always. Wish you well with sale of these plans.

[@kevinashby3784]

Your work is so good it looks factory made. Also. I am 8,pressed with all the thought you put into each of your pieces.

[@ЭдуардПопов-т4т]

Приятно смотреть на твои творения Джереми! Удачи тебе! Привет из Сибири, с Байкала! 👍

[@393strokedcoupe]

Excellent work as always Jeremy! There's something satisfying about using a tool to make parts and accessories for that tool. 😊

[@phillypauly]

this is my favorite machine ever. hoping for countless add-ons!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Lots more in the works :)

[@keith_hudson]

Dude you have got some freaking skills. What an awesome grinder.

[@bogsdolics]

Hi Jeremy great video very clear you only talk when needed and say it once then show the work as needed very exact and very good love you work keep it up , I thought the tape revel after the paint was class,G.

[@garrettducat5769]

I really liked the shots of the welding. Nice video!

[@KK6PD]

Hi Jeremy, another really useful accessory for your belt grinder! It's really quite impressive work on your part. Thanks for the videos! Well done!!

[@ManCrafting]

So glad to see you getting this video up. Great set up. Great explanation and the plans are clear and concise.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thanks!

[@thecorbies]

Definitely one of the best engineering channels on YT. Excellent design machine(s) and video production. Regards Mark in the UK

[@chris_1337]

Another fantastic video! It's so satisfying to see such ingenuity, precision and dedication, all so well packaged in such great videos! Thanks for all you do Jeremy!

[@andrewfearn5518]

Someone sponsor a mill for this dude, then we can get more Jer more often

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Somebody sponsor a shop for me, then I can buy a mill

[@chuckthebull]

This entire build is genius. Inspiring! good ideas for a few projects i have about a small hand held belt grinder to use on my lathe. Great work as usual. And your work around's without a mill are very clever.

[@sallesekulic]

I think it is time for you to make 2.0 of all attachments with upgrades in your way of designing things , make it as a package and try to make it or sell it .... it is by far the best grinder we all seen and the one everybody wishes they have ..... anyway much luv from Serbia and keep up with the good stuff

[@thechumpsbeendumped.7797]

The other advantage of tilting the metal in the bandsaw is that it’s less likely to bog down or stall at the end of the cut like it did in one of your other belt grinder build vids.

[@chrisbarry1016]

Excellent channel and videos. You are a very talented individual. I'm glad John Heisz recommended your channel.

[@brianhealy9360]

you aer a hellava engineer. i enjoy watching you make tools because you clearly love making them

[@michaelroof1969]

Jeremy, your engineering, and ability to apply are motivating. Keep up the great work brother. Great content!

[@Crewsy]

@ 9:41 Froggy 🐸 went a courting 💝 It shows that you actually put time into editing your videos. Part of what makes them so enjoyable to watch. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@SneakyLittleHobbit]

That's a cricket.
