This is my professional homemade belt grinder. I'm totally satisfied by it, it is exactly how i wanted. I build it with only basic tools almost everyone who has a little shop should have: angle grinder, welder, drill press, table saw and wood bandsaw. i will add the project soon, i tried to keep it the most simple possible, cause simpler is always better. Let me know what you think about it.

[@soundmindtv2911]

Yeah, I really like the design - especially the lower wheel being larger diameter. Through the whole build, I was thinking, "hmm, what is his reason for the larger diameter on the lower wheel?" Then, you flipped it back, and that was your grinding wheel. Really like that a lot. Thanks for sharing!

1x30 is a great starter, but then you reach a point where you need more power!

what are those pieces holding the bearings (green)

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

They are bearing housing, the bearing inside can rotate so it can be positioned in not perfectly squared holes but still be squared, i bought them on amazon if you check the description there is my amazon list of tools

[@frixux]

great simple knife not fancy crap

[@luismcdonald8963]

Hi, good machine and good video too... Do you know the disadvantages of 2" x 48" vs 2" x 72"? (Maintaining all pieces the same: motor, etc...). Thanks for your work

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

Hi! 2x72 belts could be cheaper since they are longer so last longer, but in the end is just a matter of what do you prefer and what belts are more available for you. Also the 2x72 take more space, the 2x48 is smaller and suitable for small workshops

[@luismcdonald8963]

@@Gabrulo_knifemaking I agree with you Gabrulo, although currently with internet trading platforms I believe that all sizes of sandpaper are available as well as the type of grit. I am going to build a 2x48, with the table vertically adjustable and the motor (without belt) pulling directly on the pulley. I thank you again for your work.

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

I wanted to make it without pulleys, but i don't know how to set up a vdf and i highly suggest to have speed regulator of some kind

[@luismcdonald8963]

@@Gabrulo_knifemaking In this sense, I have seen that vdfs are expensive for the function I need (mainly gouge sharpening for wood lathe) and I will start by trying something like this es.aliexpress.com/item/32986720044.html?spm= a2g0o.productlist.0.0.2e5d53a0yt1ozU & algo_pvid = db3e16d6-80e4-4dbf-8ae0-50d0bb6c30fe & algo_expid = db3e16d6-80e4-4dbf-8ae0-50d0bb6c30fe-4 & btsid = 0b0a0ae216119214917797408e17ff & ws_ab_test = searchweb0_0, searchweb201602_, searchweb201603_ but I will not until the sander is finished and running.

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

That won't work unfortunately, i also checked something similar cause vdf are expensive but this thing just turn the voltage down making the motor turn slow but without power, so it will not have any torque at all, making it stall as soon as you try to grind something. The grinder i had before was powered by an angle grinder with speed regulator like that inside, and the torque was none, it stalled all the time it was really frustrating. While this one use pulleys and the torque stay also at slow speed. Unfortunately having a cheap alternative to a vdf is almost impossible, the only way is to find a used treadmill and use that to have speed regulation

[@Ali-Nomad]

,perfecto

[@user-qv1pu5rr8x]

Can you think of another way to make the wheel since i dont have a tablesaw

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

There is actually one way that i just came up with, but you'll need a router, i will use it to make a big contact wheel, will make a video about it

Do you have a metal bandsaw.. would be quite useful for any metalworking? Or does that fall into the non-basic group? Cheers

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

Absolutely is a basic tool😁 but i prefer angle grinder just cause is cheaper

[@DJCRooK3D]

I feel he failed with the "basic tools" thing when he introduced a welder.

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

Is an old stick welder, paid 70€ more than 10 years ago, isn't some of those argon welder, more basic than this there is only duct tape

[@DJCRooK3D]

I got excited when I saw basic tools and thought I could make it without a welder. I have been considering attempting to make my own by trying to work out how I can do it by using tight fitting bolts.

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

@@DJCRooK3D using bolts isn't actually easier, cause you have to drill perfectly matching holes or you end up with a crooked build. Maybe you can ask a friend with a welder to help you, in the end i tried to avoid welding if not needed so those parts less than other builds

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

Io pensavo che servisse ma alla fine non serve, avendo la ruota per il tracking non serve avere la gobba che mantiene il nastro centrato, l'importante è che le ruote siano tornite bene

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

Ciao! Mi è costata molto poco alla fine, il motore l'ho preso su amazon a 130€, già con cavo e interruttore montati, i materiali saranno stati sui 50/60€ in generale, e poi penso 2 settimane di lavoro più o meno, sinceramente non ricordo bene quanto ci ho messo. Devo dire che mi sta sorprendendo, il tracking è precisissimo e la potenza ottima, ora mi devo fare la ruota di contatto da 40 o 35 cm di diametro, devo ancora decidere, e anche la ruota piccola per i manici, per quella userò direttamente 5 o 6 cuscinetti a sfera da 22 in fila

Making a belt grinder with a belt grinder...

[@TheNoobViking]

I am wondering if welding is considered "Basic"

[@teun7923]

Yea it is.... I mean you can get started for under 100$

[@Shin_Lona]

Let's go ahead and define "basic" to battery powered tools you can get at Lowe's or Home Depot. So the drill press and table saw would be out as well. Pro Tip: If the initial investment for the tools needed is 10X or more the cost of the tool you are trying to make... Just buy the damn belt sander. 😆

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

Dude, that drill press cost me 50€, the welder 70€, in total the tools that i used to build the belt grinder cost me no more than 200€, that's around 230$. So no i didn't spent ten thousand of dollars to make my shop

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

A belt grinder like that cost no less than 2k

[@Shin_Lona]

@@Gabrulo_knifemaking The 10X is hyperbole, an exaggeration. If the cost to produce something is higher than the product itself, even 1.1X, the point is still applicable. This is offset by the use you get out of those tools down the line, of course. However, if you'll rarely end up using them again, it just gets tacked onto the cost. Nevertheless, you have access to a well equipped shop by most people's standards. I work in an industrial setting so I'm familiar with "Advanced" tools like CNC machining, but "Basic" to the vast majority of humans on this planet means some simple hand tools and a cordless drill. Basic tools are what you need to put your IKEA desk together. Basic tools you can use inside your apartment. I'm not sure where you aqcuired the equipment, but those prices are extremely cheap. A decent welder where I'm at will cost you about $500 and another $50-100 for a mask. A contractor grade table saw is also around $400-500, the drill press $200-300. (Keep in mind you still have to add in the cost of materials, which you aren't just going to have lying around the shop if you don't have a shop in the first place) This is purchasing readily available products from a store. You can probably track down some deals on second hand tools, but that could take weeks to months in order to find what you need at a good price. (That's time that I could be getting work done, potentially making money - another factor to consider) If you're going that route, you might as well try to find the belt grinder, because I'm sure you can get one for less than 2K. I mean, nothing I'm saying here is controversial. This is the entire premise of modern manufacturing after all. If it was more practical, everyone would just make their own stuff, but we don't. The reality is that it would be more practical to grow our own food, but we don't do that either. It's the simple concept of specialized tasks and focusing on specific areas of activity. It is one of the fundamental characteristics of the development of technology and human civilization. Anyway, good video... the basic tools part is just a bit misleading.
