Huge belt grinder that I fabricated from parts and pieces I had laying around the shop. This is one of my favorite tool to use. It has a 5 hp motor that spins the rubber go kart wheels up to 9000 sfpm. It will grind a half in diameter solid round rod 10.75 in 1 min. The vibration damping platen works great to get that perfect surface finish on parts. I have a 6 part detailed build series if your interested in more grinder action. I use the fireball square, metal shaper, milling machine, metal lathe, esab welder, miiler syncrowave tig machine, and many more.
