Simple, small belt sander for Metalwork. I used a bessey spanner for the quick change system, works really well. The function with the diamond grinding wheel for tungsten grinding came to me during the construction itself. I drilled all three holes so that they are always ground to 30 degrees. I pretty much always use the same angle. The collection container is not perfect, but most of it is caught. Of course, the best would be a suction for the fine dust.
Hope the video has inspired you for your own projects.

Glue some neodymium magnets to the grinders catch box. Get twice as much crap off the clean out. Slick build, and the rod sharpening setup is wicked! 👍

[@K3Flyguy]

Outstanding video! Thank you for sharing this.

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Very impressive! The design, the construction, the video editing, all top-notch!

[@TheMetalist]

Thanks a lot 😁👍

[@grumpyone5963]

I’ll second that.👍

[@rajanmachinetools9001]

Very nice. This is simple & easy to make I have seen. Thanks sir.

[@dwainbaker1748]

Love this. I have been looking for a design like this

[@DavidR8]

Genius use of a DeStaCo clamp!

[@edwinthomas618]

You are an artist and engineer. got me hooked to your channel

[@haf-oq3vt]

Very fast and clean❤. I like to make one of this belt sander.

[@barrylinkiewich9688]

I've got a big 2x72 grinder but I keep feeling myself being drawn to something like this. The big beast is a great machine; dead stable and absolutely slays metal but it is BIG, loud and it's hard to justify using it just to bevel 3" of a small part.

[@derulle6801]

Good Work!

[@catgynt9148]

Thanks for sharing this insightful video. I’d add a rare-earth magnet to each of your spark containers. This video has given me some ideas on repurposing an old bench grinder. Wishing you and your family a blessed week, gentle weather and restful evenings. Peace

[@TheMetalist]

Awesome idea 💪 Thank you 😁

[@alanhiggins2928]

When I get a fully set up metal manufacturing workshop with all the tools, I might try to make one!😃

[@jarredjones3358]

Beautiful work. It's rare that you see a DIY video finish with something looking professional. Beautifully shot video as well; no nonsense, tasteful cuts (especially on the welding) kept the pace engaging while still showing enough to communicate what was happening. Really great!

[@GAIS414]

I built a similar solution for my tungsten grinding, just bolted a diamond wheel straight to the stone. But I put in a pipe straight out from the axle to connect the shop vac.

[@Thewatson77]

Very well thought out design 👌🏼 I’ve wanted to do this to one of my bench grinders for the longest time lol. Thanks for another amazing video!

[@TheMetalist]

Thank you 😁 awesome

[@MR619Can]

brilliant!

[@mrskwrl]

No fucking way. Everything on this channel is just mindblowing.

[@andreashabijan2514]

Die Idee mit dem Bessey Spanner ist großartig! Jetzt noch einen günstigen Frequenzumrichter dran und man kann auch noch die Drehzahl und die Laufrichtung einstellen.

[@TheMetalist]

Danke schön 😁 ja das wäre auch eine geile sache. Auch dann zum Messer Schleifen geeignet 😊

[@cyumadbrosummit3534]

What are you using for a small adjustable straight edge?

Sau geil gemacht, Respekt! Das baue ich nach! Danke für das Video! Wie genau funktioniert das mit der Stellschraube, dass das Band mittig läuft? Welche Bandgröße nutzt du, 686mm?

thank you!!! THATS how to make a cheap metal wheel!

What a great idea to upgrade my old grinder. I'll give it a try too, but I am afraid I have to watch this vid many times before even starting this project.. Looks simple but to make it work like yours?? Wish me good luck and many thanks for your trouble teaching us. Friendly regards from Holland, Marcel Knippers.

[@Nicola_Colonna]

When carrying out a job like this, should you already know the size of the sandpaper you intend to use? or not?

[@TheMetalist]

Yes

[@N-Lee]

I'm making a belt sander also, and using an 80's polyurethane skateboard wheel that looks exactly like .... yours. Krypton is the brand name if I remember correctly.

[@TheMetalist]

Awesome....it works great 😁

[@N-Lee]

@@TheMetalist That brand and type of wheel has a steel core. It does work great. Less slippage because of the Rubber-ish material.

By far the best diy belt Grinder setup. You've inspired me to get my ass out in the shop and get to work. The added tungsten option is the shit now. BTW what are doing with Snake Plissken's cane? I'm intrigued. You definitely got mad skills.

Und noch die Frage - Welche Bänder sind das denn (Größe/Marke)? Hast du einen Link dazu?

[@bitsindustries9848]

Simple yet precise. Minimal stock required, yet robust. Looks a treat, and does not require any of my "One Day" tools. ( One day I'll have a CNC Mill.. And I'll have a 65 inch Grizzly...) I'll see what I can come up with in regards to dust extraction. Impressive work. 👌

MEH... (most excellent hybrid) I want to dig into your machinist's mind and copy all those designs but... Anyone can do it if only, anyone had the passion and diversified skills and imagination... And anyone should take and absorb the inspiration and create their own designs, you know, be original, like you. THAT is what makes building something so very satisfying. Thank you for your dedication and for sharing your MEH... Most Excellent Hybrid ideas. Amazing contraption and excellent video work. And thank you for not blasting our ears with silly music... It lets you concentrate and immerse your mind into the process.
