Hey where do you get your 3/8in bolts from? And how long was your tracking arm pivot bolt

[@blacksteel2434]

Were did you get your bandsaw angle miter thing from

[@HouseMadeUS]

It came with the SWAG table. But they can be found on Amazon. Just any standard miter will work. amzn.to/3tpmRH2

[@olgasoldebrn3962]

Before buying this sander I would use a rotary sander kzbin.infoUgkx3Pc2vLXfcgM5oIpF1iYcIWyFhHUC-G6v and didn't see the need for a belt sander. Boy was I wrong. this belt sander does the job quickly and gives a professional finish to the wood work.

[@HouseMadeUS]

Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@Joseph-Colin-EXP]

This is exactly what I've been looking for. An affordable way to build a decent belt sander.... this isnt a decent belt sander it's an amazing one.

[@HouseMadeUS]

Thank you Joseph. I appreciate the kind words.

[@Joseph-Colin-EXP]

My man, Is there a small wheel attachment. Looking to make straight razors. And need somthing for the hollow .grind.

[@HouseMadeUS]

Yes quite a few vendors make them. For straight razors a 4-6 inch wheel works great.

I like creative people, I can also imitate your craft

[@darcyressler1518]

Regarding internal seams, most metal supply companies will sell seamless “trailer hitch” tubing, the same tubing used to make hitch receivers on vehicles. It’s a little more expensive but it takes the labour out of removing the internal seam to sleeve in a smaller dimension tube. Great video here.

[@HouseMadeUS]

Good point Darcy, I have priced it out and its quite a bit more but if that doesn't bother you then it is a great option! Also, thank you for your order!!

[@1966cambo]

I can see where a cheap set of transfer punches would be very helpful in this build!

[@alk5749]

Awesome, best support I’ve had on the internet. Immediately responded to my questions. Try that with Chinese product support. I will definitely be ordering this kit in the next few days. Great build video BTW.

I have had all the parts for a machine like this for a year now. I have never been satisfied with combinations of simplicity and quality. This model is ingenious and if you don't mind, I would copy this one of yours !? Thanks !!! Greetings from Croatia, Europe

[@mauricehollands2425]

Nice vid! Why the need for such heavy wall box . 3mm-1/8 would suffice. Could suggest using industrial 40mm piano/strip hinge for tilting mechanism on top of pillars to eliminate a lot of laser/fabricating. Tilt limit could be a welded stop. Position lock easily sorted.

[@HouseMadeUS]

A lot of people suggest this modification. However because we tap into the tube steel in multiple places those thinner walls would not hold a good thread for too long. My goal was to build an industrial grinder that was like a tank. It has been built 1000 times over in multiple countries now. Tried and true! Thanks for watching and I appreciate your suggestions. 👊🏻

[@brandysigmon9066]

I used a thick metal door hinge for my tracking setup, works fine

Really been enjoying your channel and podcast. Having a serious battle with myself over weather I'm willing to buy a welder and build this or just buy a 2x72. Currently making knives on a 4x36. Decisions decisions...

[@HouseMadeUS]

⚡️⚡️⚡️ It’s a fun project but I get that some might want that machine quick and without welding. Good luck on the journey and thank you for supporting my work!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@thehumblepundit9790]

Awesome!! Man, it would be so cool if you had a kit where no cutting, drilling any metal, or filing (within the tooling arms is the hardest with little equipment!) would need to be done. Just weld everything together, get the motor, wheels, and VFD, and off you go! My biggest hold back is mostly the drilling. I don't have the equipment to drill holes that size. Very cool stuff!

[@camillosteuss]

buy a mini mill and a boring head, also a drill chuck and drills... You can have such mills for 600-750 dollars, i know it aint cheap, but it actually is, as a mill is a superior dill along with having the capacity to do work that no drill can do... With one you can make parts that would otherwise be costly or unavailable as they are to you, as you can see... It is an investment, but one that if you are in the mindset of making things, will pay off quickly... So much so that you will buy a mini lathe along it sooner than later... Custom screws, custom nuts, custom parts for so many things with just the relatively small machines for a relatively normal price... You can pay bosch that much for a good hand drill and it will never be as good as a little chinese geared mill with some tooling... Heck, you can spend what a mini mill and a mini lathe cost together on just a good drill, and granted, such a drill is not for tubing, but rather for stone and such things most often, but a magnet drill by a reputable company can pay for both and still not be able to do what the two can... Of course a mag drill can do some other things, but hey, you know what you need and want... Dont let me talk you into something...

[@HouseMadeUS]

[@rscswain77]

At 1:36 in the vid If the pivot was closer to the belt it may be better/nicer? This could be done with the existing parts if welded up a bit differently I think and adding clearance for the pivoting table parts?

[@MTknives]

Cool design! I have a TW90 but almost never use it horizontally 😂 would like a second 2x72 though

[@clintbrewer09]

Hey brother. On your tensioning arm when you are cutting out the front and back sections. Just a thought but you could cut the 30 degree angle into those two pieces as your are initially cutting them out of that makes sense. It will save you from having to measure again and cut the piece for the spring later while also the horizontal arm a little more clearance and might look visually appealing as well. Hope that makes sense lol

[@HouseMadeUS]

Yeah that makes sense! Good tip. Ill give it a shot. Thanks Clint!

When you weld the two tubes together, take it easy with heat. It can warp the tubes so that the inner slides no longer work freely.
