DIY Bench Grinder to Belt Grinder Conversion | No Weld 2X36 3/4HP

[@laurikennedy3147]

First one showed missing parts. Second one was complete. It's a working bench grinder kzbin.infoUgkxxC8HPnl24fu0XhMU_nbmWNEUoK1RMHXk . One thing I like alot is that it's surprisingly quiet. I don't feel like I'm sacrificing any rpms or power for the quietness either. All in all it's a very nice machine. No vibration whatsoever.

[@lesstime1678]

nice job man ,,,, no stupid welding in this job ,,,, that's the way to go ,,,,, when i see weld i just skip the video,,,,, you are the man ,,thank's for the nice video

[@danpat72]

BRAVO LAD BRAVO!!! Gotta admit at first i was like wtf is he doing that will never work then BAM it all came together and i was amazed with the ingenuity and craftsmanship.

[@roncrandall]

I totally never thought of using my bench grinder as a lathe. I'm on it!

[@blargkliggle1121]

@Alan Whiteside no he meant how he rounded the piece by using the grinder as a makeshift lathe

[@smoky5833]

I like that it is built out to from the motor, so when using, your part( being sanded) is clear fro any obstructions caused by the unit (grinder motor) itself.

[@martyalcorn8990]

just what i been lookin for thanks mate........no welding yea!

[@blueberrymuffenman]

I bought a shity belt grinder made from a bench grinder used it once because of how shit it is... This has given me some ideas of how to fix it thanx

[@dtmine9133]

Hope it works out well for you. I've used mine a bit without much hiccups, just a couple of mods. I'm currently making my 2nd knife with and its still holding up. Biggest concern is metal dust so I will open it up for a clean and check after this project is done.

Nicely done, that drill handled it like a champ!

awesome design and no welding. i might actually make something like this for myself instead of buying one. very nice and thanks

[@dtmine9133]

Cheers. Hope it goes well for you.

Good job! I would add one thing. Some type of guard or shield over the grinding wheel. I wouldn't want to be grinding on something and swing my knuckles into that moving wheel.

[@MaturePatriot]

Good work. I was wondering what to do with my extra bench grinder.

[@neffk]

I think a little crown on the wood pulley might help keep the belt centered. All the old flat-belt equipment had a little curve to the pulleys.

[@dtmine9133]

I did actually try that on another wheel but still wouldn't quite track properly. I ended up finding the issue: the aluminium T bar (with the tracking wheel and spring) would slightly flex when loaded or adjusted. I have since replaced it with square 25x25mm steel tube and it tracks perfectly.

[@giggidygiggidy4884]

Not true, I have a professionally made belt grinder and none of the wheels are crowned. It tracks perfectly.

[@deanscoggins4791]

Good idea. You might want to turn wheel bolts around. So bearings can ride on smooth part of bolt. If too big spin in drill sand down

[@sentinobis4261]

cool, i search for a things like that but the industrial one whit just 2 wheels look really cheap compare to that and have just 1/2hp 2.5 amp. cost 240$ but you can do nothing whit low power like that.. Not really hard to make just a bit of patience and somes srcew, find a sheap of steel.. thx really good idea!

[@dtmine9133]

Yip...bought one straight after finishing this. That drill took a beating.

[@hwfranjr]

What size was the wood made and what size skate board wheels, looks like your firing for 2 in wide,what size of sander strip?

[@DavidsProfession]

nice video man

[@frankcostanzo8391]

Why didn't you use a longboard wheel for the drive wheel too, just like the idler and tracking wheels?

[@dtmine9133]

Firstly the size. Motor isn't variable so I have 3 diff sized wheels for different speeds. Secondly the inside diameter is wrong, and if I were to drill it out there wouldn't be alot left for the nut to bolt up against, and it would be too brittle done that way.

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

Very nice and just what I need! Do you have any tips when laying the holes out on the piece of steel? I've had a piece of 3/16 steel laying in the shop for a "someday" project and this is the perfect project! Thanks for sharing!!

[@dtmine9133]

I just laid out the belt and 3 wheels so that it had a reasonable front flat section and was inline at the bottom wheel to drive wheel, that section doesn't need to be long. Then when doing the top tensioner the wheel needs to be out far enough to align with the front bottom wheel. Hope that makes sense.

It seems to be holding up ok for now but I agree long term it lacks a bit. Any suggestions for a cheap alternative?

[@Deadfeat]

@@dtmine9133 why not use another skate wheel? You could tack weld the bearings.

[@dtmine9133]

They're to small internally and the plastic doesn't look like it would take much drilling/maching. I would have to remove the bearing and make a sleeve/bush. I will look into it though thank you, maybe with a harder single piece wheel it would be easy to do.

Not a good idea to grind aluminium on a grinding wheel. Vary dangerous!!!

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

May I ask why aluminum is worse than steel. I've always used the bench grinder for big pieces of steel, aluminum, and brass. I do wear google and a face shield. I know overkill with the two but it is the way my father taught me along with a leather apron and gloves. He was a welder, steam-pipe fitter for 40 years. He also taught me how to use the angle grinder, and the welding machine set he gave me. But I'm serious when I ask why. I always say Its never to late to learn something new. Thanks. Cheers.

[@65burnie]

I was always taught not to grind aluminum on a wheel grinder. The soft aluminum embeds into the wheel. If you come along and grind steel with that stuck in the grains of the wheel and heat it up the aluminum can expand and fracture the wheel causing it to explode while its on.

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

@@65burnie YIKES!! I'm definitely going to change what I do on the grinder. Thanks for the info and for replying. ;>)

[@klave8511]

CrossGrain Wood Products,LTD : The aluminum clogs the wheel, just like when you file it. The wheel needs to be dressed afterwards to get the surface clean and sharp again. A wheel designed to grind aluminum is different, wears faster as the grains fall out and keep presenting new sharp grains underneath. It doesn’t clog with pieces of the soft aluminum.
