Improved table holder for belt grinder

[@jc4givs564]

My son and I are about to put a shop together so your videos and ideas are going to be used a lot in our household. Thank you Jeremy!

[@SwagmanMcGee]

Of all the maker KZbinrs I watch, I think you have the most methodical and, dare I say, quality approach to creating stuff. Both your design and execution are top tier, and I applaud you for your patience and knowledge every time you upload a video. Keep at it, sir, you're filling a niche in a wonderful way.

[@ambroscustom]

You took your own builds to whole new level and I think that is the main reason I kept visiting your channel. In my opinion you are also in the list of badass markers of KZbin.

[@castledomeknives9395]

Five generations down the road will enjoy this grinder!!...great build J

[@tyleranderson8751]

Glad to see another video on the grinder! I really appreciate you taking your time to reply to customer issues or concerns no matter how dumb they might be!

[@mikebergman1817]

Your design is beautifully practical, but outside the box as well. I’ve been building my 2x72 for a bit now, and I’m on the home stretch. I hope you don’t mind that I am planning on incorporating your adjustable table design into my own. I have seen many ways to do it, but none as good as yours. You should be proud of the way your brain solves problems. Very clever sir!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thanks! Feel free to copy anything I do :)

[@smu1129]

You put more thought and effort into an addendum than other people put into a whole build. Very impressive.

[@dznm10]

One thing I notice ever since I watch your videos, the material you use is all "overkill" like they will last generations upon generations because of the way you built this belt sander! It looks good and very tough! Fantastic job!

[@Fleenoreric]

I Stopped everything just to watch your new video. You’ve seriously have the best videos on the internets. Great job 👍🏼👍🏼

[@FatClumsyGoat]

Eric Fleenor agreed I wish he made more!

[@GenjiKilpatrick]

I know, right?! One of the best build/craft channels on the interwebs. Great ideas, style, pace, camerawork. Super glad I stumbled upon these vids!

[@cognitor900]

AND I wish that Jeremy made dozens more videos too! He’s been quiet lately so I hope everything is going ok. Such a clever guy who makes really entertaining videos with not an ounce of bs. Or shite music.... or patronises.

[@ismaelrojas6856]

Qué buena maquina cómo conseguir una

[@frankhelms2083]

Jeremy, thanks for your continued diligence in the realization of your belt grinder. It is most important to me, and I look forward to other tools that you develop.

[@MrSivikivi]

The things you call "Had to be done" is so incredebly satisfying to watch! Please don't ever stop filming them. Doesn't matter how small of an adjustments you think it is, for me (and I belive there is a few more sharing the opinion) this is the reason I use KZbin. Small projects, informative videos, very nice results. And for the record, I think this is a large improvement.

[@heyimamaker]

Still one of the cleanest DIY grinders I have seen. Great work!

[@Wintergatan]

Do it again and Do it right is the best feeling! So cool, Looking forward to next video

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Yes! Thanks Martin.

[@stevethomas8117]

I merely wish to ask if you would make me one of your belt Sanders with a 36"x 6 in table with an additional roller 1" in diameter so that I can hollow grind some of my knifes? After seeing the great work you do I imagine you can come up with a way for the roller to push the belt out about 1/4" midway up the vertical part of the Sander. I can supply a motor, please give me price for this work. I live in Fresno CA. Thanks Steve

[@chrisis9030]

Well I told you to fix this problem over half a year ago. Glad you finally did it.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

You're referring to the clamping bolts, right? I don't remember anyone complaining about the height...

[@chrisis9030]

Nope, Jer. I was just kidding. Good job!

[@rogerferris3720]

When You criticised, you old table, I thought ‘boy are you picky!’ But as ever your new one is definitely an improvement, worth having. I am addicted to watching your builds, I’m binge watching right now. Great stuff.

[@melgross]

This is one of the nicest belt grinders I’ve seen.

[@judemcconnell887]

Fine work I am in the process of building the grinder from your plans. I do not have a metal lathe. The radius pin will be difficult. Will drilling a hole, tapping it, and using a bolt with the head cut off work.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

That will work, just won't be as accurate.

[@oliverworks5469]

Glad I’m still working on the main unit in the plans and can opt for this new table holder version. Great work Jer!

[@78impalawebb]

Awsome job on the upgrade. It’s always an absolute pleasure to watch how methodical and detail oriented you are. Get videos get job

[@78impalawebb]

Great

[@CountYulith]

This is the first video of yours I have seen and I already subscribed! I love how you clearly explained the reason for pretty much everything you are doing. Some "instructional" videos kind of gloss over important steps as if they expect you to know, but a lot of us are starting out with minimal knowledge of how to make these things so your clear instructions are great!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thank you! Glad you liked it

[@TMatt007]

You posted that just in time for me. I just finished building the grinder and platen and to days project is the table.

[@sleefox]

Extremely well done. You have learned that experience is actually the best teacher and a far better design criteria.👌👌🖖

[@WesleyTreat]

If there's no room for improvement, there's nothing left to learn. And if there's nothing left to learn, what's the point? Well done!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Well said! Thanks.

[@michaelpetrakis3726]

There are thinkers and there are doers, you are both!!!

[@ryanlangan1060]

Have you considered getting some graphite backer for your platen? It reduces heat so that your metal platen won't warp, as well as making your belt last longer. Lots of places sell it.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

I bought a glass platen, so I'm hoping that will have the same advantages. Just haven't got around to adapting it to this machine.

[@jmhannnon]

Now this is timely. I messed up making my table holder and decided that the only way to fix it was to make a new one. Now I can make this one and not feel as bad about scrapping the other.

[@davidschwartz5127]

Nice craftsmanship in your work

[@victorgonzalezpalicio1683]

Estimado Jeremy: Lo primero que voy a decirte es que, tu trabajo es enorme, fascinante, masivo, sólido! Lo segundo es: a caso vas a desvastar el titanic o algo así? No te conozco, pero te veo trabajar y pienso que eres un chico listo e industrioso, entonces me desconcierto! Cuantas horas, cuantos kilos de hierro, cuanto gas, cuanto alambre!! Y todo para hacer una simple y bonita lijadora, y se me cae el alma a pedazos. Dicho con todo mis respetos.

[@eightxeightsix]

It is really an Awesome Design! The process is a masterpiece of the "thing should make the life easier" approach. Don't stop on improving please!

[@Yamasutra]

You have no idea how good it feels to get a new video from you! Was starting to worry you'd somehow accidently welded yourself into a box by mistake 😖

[@portableapps8017]

I think he will do it someday

[@xang72]

That was it.. I just bought the plans. look forward to more tables.. and perhaps a rotary platon?

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thanks! I think a rotary platen is doable. I could start with Beaumont's rotary platen and just build a bracket to fit in on my machine.

[@jimsjacob]

Once again, excellent execution! Great idea and that grinder is extremely empowering. You can do so much with that thing!

[@jonpardue]

This made me wan to buy the plans. They are great plans, worth every cent. This is a high productivity tool system. Thanks for investing your time to make smart projects and good videos!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thank you!

[@juancarlosruiz1985]

Wow I love this build, one of the best homemade grinders

[@davo1863]

i built a 2 x 72 belt grinder entirely from your design, it's the best one out there. Only thing is i used the steel from some tractor implements i had laying around, so the flat bar is 1/2" and the main frame is rather fat, 1" anyway i did not have dimensions so i guessed what they were from logic... ! i had a few issues redos and fails, but the finished product is quite satisfying...! i am going to make another one with the right material and buy a set of your plans, now that i know what to do and what to expect.. it is a superior design Jeremy, very very quite, smooth, no vibrations i have a 3 horse 3800 ripums VFD L510 Teco/Westinghouse. took me a minute to figure out how to program the parameters. thank you and i will be getting a set of plans pretty soon, i got to get my Harley Back on the road first.... hahha

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thanks! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

[@farmaproderma]

Im glad I haven't started mine yet haha. Just bought your plans and they're awesome! Getting all together to build it. Looking forward to it. Thanks again!

[@dirtyfingernailsauto8946]

Very nice grinder and nice improvement as well . Quality build , Quality video and clear and concise explanation.

[@YourOldDog]

Your work is so exceptional that the only thing it is missing is a little automotive BONDO to clean up welds that don't as planned. A guy did a video of brazing some cast iron mounts and did the BONDO filling before paint and you couldn't see where he had worked on it. Pretty slick techinque. I don't do it because I couldn't afford as much as I would need to make my work look acceptable !!

[@Bluuplanet]

If you expect to make more sliding tubes, make a shrinking mandrel to build them around. It would work like a collet but instead of expanding in lots of directions, it would just expand in two. After welding, loosen a bolt on one end and give it a tap. Might need a surface grinder to do this properly. Build it for your smallest sliding tube. Add shims for larger sizes.

[@metalmorphist]

good timing. I am putting parts together to build your design, I picked up the plans some time ago. Seems like a good mod. Thanks

[@SyberPrepper]

Always enjoy your videos. You're the only one I watch at 1x speed. I watch everyone else at 1.5x or 2x speed. Very impressive tool and construction.

[@starcatify]

Jeremy, just awesome, always coming back to watch your work!

[@chris_1337]

Amazing work as always! Looking forward to seeing the tilting table design and construction!

[@Finn-McCool]

The "trial and error" methodology it's still the gold standard of industrial progress. Ideas can exist on paper but ultimately the only thing that a finished product can represent is usefulness. Which is the culmination of idea, design and execution.

[@kevbou911]

really nice add on you make for yours 45° (and others) tables

[@jackdehaan2267]

What else can I say but great all around. Excellent presentation, great video, super explanation, and on and on. Thanks Jeremy.

[@michaelhale4041]

Always amazed at what you build and your ideas. great job. Glad to see a new video.

[@michaelhale4041]

Yes I plan to get your plans just gotta get my money for it. Love the whole set-up. Still amazed at the table for it also.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thanks!

[@MattsAwesomeStuff]

Happy 1 year birthday to the belt grinder.

[@balisticsquirel]

An idea - Instead of the complex box built around the main square bar. Cut the bar at an angle (with chamfers) and weld back together, to get the downward 'bend'. Then create the box that's the slide for the table's post onto that bar. Or onto a plate welded onto that bar.

[@Mexdog01]

I really like you builds and videos. I wish you would buy a portable bandsaw. It kills me watching all the hacksaw work. Old guy like me looks for the easy way! Great job. I’m currently working off your plans to build my sander

[@jeblubberjeblubber1597]

Das Ding ist obergeil.Ich beobachte die Entwicklung von Anfang an. Aber, du hast es so stabil gebaut, dass es eher für Profis, 24 Stunden am Tag, im Einsatz ist, als für Hobbyisten😜❣❣❣

[@poja82]

By now this must be the best belt grinder worldwide...And I'm measuring my words

[@Jer_Schmidt]

I'm sure it depends how you're using it. For me it is the best, but might not be for the the next guy.

[@poja82]

I would argue with you if you where not the maker, but I just will say that your are as humble as you are brilliant. If you ever come to Patagonia, please come to my workshop, you will be very welcome.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

WOODA Reclaimed Wood Thanks! It's been years since I've been to Patagonia. Would be fun to go again!

[@popeye-wc2jo]

Love the upgrad and makes sense. I will be doing this to mine as well.

[@MultiTom1956]

I enjoyed every second of this video 😊I am not of a engineering back ground but looking at this video I wish I was 😊brilliant! Thank you

[@johnwilcox1302]

I was pretty excited about this video. Great piece of reengineering. Thanks for sharing.

[@johngraham3035]

Good to see you back

[@mattmoilanen3813]

Nicely done as belts can be quite expensive and one wants to use all the available surface. As a former designer-drafter I find your analy retentive nature to be refreshing. Just a mention that it's a chamfer not a shamfer though. Excellent work at any rate.

[@gregsullivan8956]

Glad to see your making videos. I'm sure your very busy. Great work!

[@jmakes3745]

I tend to focus more on the aesthetic end of design, but I'm always drawn back to, and really enjoy your videos - insanely clever solutions, that are always well thought out and logically explained :)

[@xenonram]

You focus on aesthetics, you end up with a nice LOOKING product, that works like shit. A la Apple.

[@giovannifurio8445]

Nice work! It was cool to hear Martin give you a shout out on Wintergatan Wednesdays.

[@mrprimenumbers6448]

Awesome, been wondering if you where thinking what I have been thinking about the hinge modification to a table attachment.

[@DonCheke]

Always a treat to see your work. Thanks for sharing.

[@CaptainSpock1701]

OK, I have a confession to make. I've watched a whole lot of your videos where I didn't click the like button. That was mostly because the video was finished and I watched the whole thing and forgot to click like. I now click on like even before watching any video if it is from you because I know IT WILL BE GOOD. I was not disappointed! Great video!

[@ServusSovereign]

Братишка, ты проделал действительно отличную работу! Спасибо за видео и подробные разъяснения! У тебя огромный инженерный талант ! Так держать! With best wishes from sunny Russia !

[@Aardrijk1]

Just bought your plans. I hope you make a million dollars!

[@fisharmor]

It's like you knew I had this as an upcoming "I have to do this" project. Cheers! ;)

[@mikeleahey9190]

Great adjustment to your design elements, I look forward to beginning this build…just bought your plans for the grinder.

[@rok4220]

Jeremy, your videos are always amazing.

[@Nightman2152]

Anything worth doing is worth overdoing! Very nice!

[@GregsGarage]

Nice upgrade!

[@alexandrealbergaria6224]

dont really need none of this but just watched 1h of your videos! So cool! Keep up with the good work!

[@benzmansl65amg]

Always fun to see your uploads. Thanks Jeremy!

[@MadisonMadMan]

Jeremy, I was hoping to get pdf plans for this table holder. Finally almost finished building my Gen 1 and purchased Gen 2 plans to build soon as I finish this one. Thanks

[@ignilc]

Your a master at overengineering things

[@cuttheloop]

Hey, if 1 is good... 2 has GOT to be better.

[@ManCrafting]

Nice upgrade. Great job Jeremy.

[@michaelhutchison9601]

The new design is cleaner and more esthesticly pleasing.

[@spencerwells4523]

jeremy uploaded! it's a good day!

[@AllodialTitle]

Great design. I bought the plans. Many thanks.

[@drewt3210]

Bought your plans on Etsy. Super excited to make this grinder, thank you! @HoneyOnWales

[@gustavoadolfouribemiller4733]

Si alguna vez la produces para la venta, me gustaría poder comprarla, pues estoy convencido que es de la mejor calidad posible. Felicitaciones por tan magnífico trabajo.

[@gonefishing2012]

I purchased your plans for the belt sander thanks for the addition I can see the need for it. When are we building a 4" version lol

[@kenjackson4177]

We are all looking forward to more videos.....especially grinder or tool related.....please

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Coming soon

[@YourOldDog]

Yet another great video of a slick idea. If I could just contribute one idea to you project it would be to go over your welds with Bondo and sand them down for a really professional looking job. My homebrew grinder won't hold a candle to yours but it is quite handy.....want to trade? LOL

[@Jason-jn9sk]

We'd all love to see videos of your actual projects Jeremy.

[@RobbyNowell]

Good work, man. I love how beefy it is. This grinder project is one of the few things I will make that isn't designed by myself :-)

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Thanks! Feel free to put your own twist on it ;-)

[@RobbyNowell]

@@Jer_Schmidt I will do my best!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Great upgrade on the holder Jeremy! Thanks for sharing the video.👍😎JP

[@FranksDIY]

I'm always think of ways to better stuff too. Great job

[@Mexdog01]

I really like your videos. And I thought I was king of overbuilding. But hey it holds up and doesn't fail that way. From an old guys perspective you should ask Santa to bring you a portable bandsaw. Watching all he hacksaw works wears me out Keep up the good work. I bought you sander plans and will be building it soon

[@mdpjr2003]

Please build a power hammer!! Seeing your brain in action building a home made power hammer would be epic!!!

[@dariushmilani6760]

well done Jeremy. Your work and videos are just great. keep up the good and inspiring work.

[@CheeseToastOfDeath]

I like your redesign, and your grinder remains on my to-do list, though I need to finish the shop it'll go into before I can make it. But dang it, that weld porosity would drive me nuts if it was on anything I made.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

I forgot to turn on the gas for the first 1" bead. I should have probably put more into fixing it...

[@dannyl2598]

Thanks Jeremy, great job.

[@floritaka]

Nice job, as usual, great durability.

[@BoyNamedStacy]

Here we go, back to the shop! Here I thought I was done 😂 Looks good man, excited to see the tilting table next.

[@sergiofilosofo3355]

So great with so much details.

[@gianp7145]

Un oggetto fatto come un tempo si facevano in Germania. Meraviglioso.

Spidey's like, "Paint vapour? Nope, I'm gone."

[@rkindblom]

We want more Jeremy!

[@Fredlemred]

can't wait for the tilting table!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Working on it as we speak!

[@stun9771]

Good video Jer, long time since your last one, so enjoyed the revamp on your excellent grinder...👍🏻
