Making Belt Grinder 2"x 72"

I know that there are a lot of videos about building a belt grinder, but looking at the possibilities and applications of such a grinder, I couldn't resist to build it, especially that most of the materials I already had. The rollers and drive wheel I used came from the pallet truck.

I've got to stop watching these builds. I don't know which one to build FIRST ! WOW...I love these builds!!! THANKS FOR POSTING

[@ShaukatHakim]

Cutting, tapping, drilling, welding, painting - finally awesome belt grinder.

[@fistpunder]

That is the greatest can opener I ever saw!

[@INSIDEHARDWARE]

After watching well made video production and quality builds I stumbled on this video and I’m like: boy that is some crude rough measuring and all… then I’m like… man that’s still better than what I would muster up. Good job

[@timkelley6616]

Buying the motor for the one I’m building tomorrow! Fun build.

[@MrHristoB]

This goes on my ToDo list!! Great work!! Well done!!

Great video and belt grinder! Such a tool make life easier :)

[@WorkshopFromScratch]

Thanks 😁

[@tecnopufi]

That's true. If you make a disk sander from the pulley on the motor, this machine will be more useful. Since i built mine, i can sharpen my drill bits accurately. Sorry for spamming, but here is mine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hF6lZWCMjtaXac0

[@thomaswunsch12]

very clever use of the plasmacutter, thanks for this brilliant idea !!

[@PRospond]

That's one awesome grinder! Love the versatility.

[@jvmiller1995]

Wow truly a nice simple effective machine. You should be very proud. I made one a couple years back just out of scrap and a treadmill motor. I had like 3 bucks in it and though it does still do a good job I thin it is time to do another one right. I will be blending a few that I seen Together but this is really close to what I want to build.

[@jorgepuccia1679]

Un espectáculo, siempre sigo tus trabajos, sería genial un tutorial con las medidas. Exitos futuros.

[@regsparkes6507]

Love that Coke can trick! Great grinder!

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Very nice! I started one about four years ago I really need to get back to it. You have given me a couple ideas.

[@WorkshopFromScratch]

Thank you Very much 😀 I am glad that the film was useful for something :)

[@tjkoker]

Great video. You have some new innovations, particularly the use of a compression counterbalance instead of an expansion spring. Don't know why more people don't do that. Expansion springs break all the time. Since you don't have a mill you should use your plasma cutter more often. It seems to leave a nice clean edge. Loved that you slotted with it. Would have liked to have seen how it did on the curved slot. I really enjoyed watching you work. Looks like this 4th of the July weekend I'll be starting on mine. Sorry honey.

[@psion5mxfred]

Thank you, especially for the dimensioned pics.

[@WorkshopFromScratch]

I am glad that I could help :) Regards

[@lightsnsiren79]

People who have never gone through that with a bench grinder don’t REALLY know what it’s like to want a belt grinder. It’s like a rite of passage: you must wear out at least one bench wheel before you get a fancy belt setup.

[@tbhUSuckOo]

Funny to me cuz when I just started I burned the motor of my grandpa's grinding bench. It was 50 years old but still..

[@jamesfield5346]

Сколько просмотрел фидеороликов- этот самый простой в исполнении, орегинальный!!!

[@ctpctp]

Nice design. Just a note for people who are gonna build one after seeing this...you DON'T need THAT much weld bead on stuff!!! You'll probably save yourself a week of work and $50 in wire if you just weld things as much as they actually need to be, LOL :-D

[@richarcruz7843]

💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽wowwwwwwwwwww keep putting up all this great content man ure incredibly talented God Bless💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@santosmelendrez5048]

Maravilloso trabajo amigo saludos

[@SteveDeLaCruz-q8c]

That's what I'm looking for ...a sander that don't require a alot of out sourced parts..I like every thing to be in house

[@marcfournier823]

I like this design. The circumfrence of the wheels on the grinding surface and backing plate should be colinear. This will ensure no space between the belt and backing plate. Your setup has about 1/8th space between belt and plate. This will give bevel grinds a radius.

[@thietbidienphuquy]

Good job❤❤❤

I love these kinds of videos, I just wish there was a way to get the plans to build this. I would pay for them.

[@johnwurst6691]

Great machine! One bit if advice: you need to turn the gas spring around so that the oil inside lubricates the seal!

[@findvoltage]

I would never have thought of that! Thanks bruv.

Good project to make with my everlast welder and some scrap metal. thanks for this.

right that's it i realy need to get in the shed an start makeing stuff again!! been wanting to make one off these for ages as i make swords and knifes and i gring the blades on a cheep buggerd belt sander i now have to atach my drill to to get it to work!! that said it dose work fine could do with a bit more power though, not to much or i'll loose my fingers haha, love you videos!!

[@benmiller5015]

Very nice. Love the adjustability n using a ram instead of spring for tension. Maybe down the line you can wire in a potentiometer or a step switch so you can adjust the speed. Another great build though. I want one

[@WorkshopFromScratch]

Certainly adjustment would be useful and I will try to connect :) Thank you for the comment :) Regards

Nice work man. Almost identical to mine except I used treadmill motor and speed control☺ One good thing to do is get some ceramic stove glass and attach to your platen (double sided tape and small "shelf" beneath it) Otherwise over time you'll wear into it 😉

[@WorkshopFromScratch]

You had a brilliant idea with mounting the treadmill motor, it's a pity that I didn't think about it myself :) Thank you :) Regards

[@cocospops9351]

@@WorkshopFromScratch Yeah it works very well and there is always a large flywheel on it that can be used as the drive wheel ☺ Speed control is nice so wood doesn't burn from high speed. Subbed to see what you come up with next and greetings from Ireland 🍀

[@WorkshopFromScratch]

In the case of woodworking, speed control is very necessary, I also need to mount speed control because maximum speed is not always needed :) Greetings from Poland :)

[@cocospops9351]

@@WorkshopFromScratch Treadmill motor is nice because it's dc so easy enough to control speed. If your motor is ac, maybe look at a variable frequency drive (Google VFD) 👍

Dear Sir, Nice video. I have built a similar 2 x 72 grinder. The Tracking Wheel assembly on mine has not worked out very well. Your piston type assembly might work for me. Can you tell me where you got your's and maybe I could adapt it to fit my unit. I would greatly appreciate any help.

Geil...ich denk, das ist das coolste Design eines bandschleifers auf yt. Super simpel...sogar schwenkbar! Reduziert zum maximum. Respekt! Kosten...wahrscheinlich keine 150 Euro?

[@WorkshopFromScratch]

Danke :) Die Kosten sind wirklich vernachlässigbar, da fast alles aus Schrott stammt und der Motor von einem beschädigten Hydrophor stammt. Das einzige, was ich neu gekauft habe, waren Rollen von einem Palettenhubwagen, die ungefähr 4 Euro pro Stück kosten
