Building a High-Precision Belt Grinder (Plans available)

Nobody really asked for it but here it is - the condensed, super fast version of my Belt Grinder which I have since named the "PVB-1". Since the long videos with voiceover are not for everyone and some people prefer to just see the thing get made quick like in my old videos, I decided to create some "Directors Cuts" of some of my longer videos starting with the Belt Grinder build which was originally released as a more in-depth 3-part series. I tried to keep this as short as possible, but it's a lot of content to squeeze into just 30 minutes.
If you haven't seen this build yet and are interested in a more detailed version, you can watch the original series here:
Part 1: • Building a Machinists ...
Part 2: • Building a Machinists ...
Part 3: • Building a Machinists ...

This has to be one of the best machining videos on KZbin. Design, machining, attention to detail, video editing, 10/10 in all departments.

[@alexgonzalez2338]

Some of us would actually prefer an extended version. It’s a pleasure watching the series. I’ve watched it many times.

[@1978grizz]

He's got a three part build series of this in his videos. I'd suggest his playlist of it but it's in reverse order

[@PhilVandelay]

@@1978grizzHey that's good to know, no one ever told me that in almost 2 years 😅 I just fixed it, should be in the right order now

[@pedrodelgado3879]

WOW!!! By far the nicest belt grinder build I have ever seen. Awesome job!!! A Tomahawk Missile won't scratch this beauty. I truly enjoyed every minute of this video.

[@DanKoning777]

I've watched the extended version 3 times, and shared it with many people. I believe it's the best belt sander build I've ever seen. I like your narrated video's a lot as well; they're helpful, and easy to listen too. Keep up the good work! *God bless.*

[@nickdubois8218]

Excellent work as always. I appreciated this condensed version since it was pure entertainment watching the entire series boiled down to 30 minutes. Very much so liked the original series as well! Thanks for sharing

[@geoffwright7110]

Watched in awe. Being a retired tool maker and I thoroughly enjoyed the CAD interpretation and transition via great machining to a fantastic tool. Cant ask for a better 30 mins.

[@dadasuoma]

😅

[@MarionMakarewicz]

Phil, you have what it takes. Thanks for all the work you put into making these videos. You have the right stuff. Looking forward to all the amazing things you will come up with.

[@angelmtzmtz8799]

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.

[@howardfreedman4289]

Unlike the many, many, 2x72 belt grinder fabrication videos I've watched, this one is performed by a professional machinist perfectionist. I've never enjoyed watching any build video as much. I am in awe. Thanks for this.

[@user-ej6un3qu4q]

More than wonderful work, you deserve a thousand likes, and thank you for adding the Arabic language to the translation. I am from Egypt and I listened in a moment. Thank you and we are always waiting for your new

[@heardashot]

Heart & soul gone into that project. A joy to watch. Thank you!

[@STohme]

An outstanding work and achievement of an "Ultimate High-End Belt Grinder" which is a piece of art. Congratulations and many thanks for these excellent videos (the short and the extended versions).

[@Dude-mz8su]

A Rolex of belt grinders.

[@abkoi60]

Fantastic vids without self-aggrandizement and and unnecessary commentary ! Love your work !!

[@Halfwheelhell]

Phil, your videos are fantastic. absolutely outstanding design and execution. I discovered your channel recently and watched many of your older videos. Just commenting in hopes that more videos are on the way! Keep up the great work.

[@patrickezuma7140]

That 30 min just flew by. I didn't move...I didn't blink...I'm not even sure what happened. That was a good video. I think it would be safe to say you have the nicest belt sander on KZbin....or anywhere for that matter.

[@simian8816]

Can we just stop and appreciate how well he cuts with that angle grinder

[@offermanns]

First when i read "high end", i was sceptic. Then i saw the video and now im sure, this IS high end. Absolutely great work. 👍👍👍

[@JustinTopp]

Best belt grinder on the internet! Super well done.

[@courierdog1941]

Phil: This is a beautiful piece of Mechanical Art. Where Metal Warehouse cut to measure stock would suffice and functionally do the same job, you chose to create a mechanical piece of art that must be an absolute joy to look at and a pleasure to use. Great Work

[@drewriemersma1943]

Love your stuff man. This series was excellent and I love my Torx head t-shirt. Thanks!!

[@maverick9769]

wow! just wow...I have subscribed because of the seriousness of your work...I don't know I have no words....I have seen expensive belt grinders, and don't think they hold a candle on your product.

[@dustinbrosmer6164]

IM ABSOLUTELY AMAZED AT YOUR FABRICATION SKILLS AND JUST PURE TALENT

[@lovejcdc]

What an amazing machine that is man. Beautiful work of art and durable enough to last a lifetime.

Congratulations, the best video I've seen on machine construction, I loved it from start to finish and a great handling of the milling machine and tools.Greetings from Argentina

[@navigas93]

I have watched this and the series several times. Defiently the best build out there. And also impressive on the DIY factor. I don't have all the tools, so I'm considering to "cheat" and order the CNC parts...

[@ifell3]

Wow now that is one over engineered grinder, but it's one of the most beautiful ones I have seen! Rock solid!

[@peteryeung111]

For a home shop, this is absolutely stunning!

[@larrykoons2848]

Well, this is the first video of yours I've watched and now I'm hooked! If these are available for sale, I would love to buy one... Awesome craftsmanship!

[@molitovv]

Just had a look at your plans, they are beautiful.

[@stewartthompson5039]

A stunningly good build Sir, a true Machinists Work of Art, congratulations on giving birth to your PVB-1 😁

So many questions as a apprentice but you are doing a really good job!

Hello Phil, A very nice job done... thanks for sharing with us... Take care. Paul,,

[@jonsworkshop]

Absolutely awesome build Phil, well done. We'll, every day is a school day, I have been in this game for 30+ years, and never seen a boring head being used as fly cutter before!! Cheers Jon

[@PhilVandelay]

I wouldn't really advise to do it either, but well, you make due with what you got 😅 It's well past time I make an actual flycutter, come to think of it.

[@Tellyfive]

Such a great video. All action, no fluff.

[@courierdog1941]

I kept thinking of different things and you then change the configuration which threw out that idea, so I though of another idea, and changed configuration that threw tha one out the window as well. Well thought out sir. Fantastic Creation.

[@jimhansson6238]

So well done from start to finish. Just excellent!

[@joseccastrojr]

Precision. Patience. Perfection.

[@pottersmiles7238]

Really enjoyed this video plus the playlist. I Also like the belt sander built at Fireball Tool. With all the neverending supply of junk vids on youtube, these craftsmen type people are a real pleasure. Outstanding skill. I wish i could do it.

I understand that using something that you've designed, fabricated and built yourself gives a huge sense of pride but I'll just buy one assembled. Stunning work though sir.

[@transmitterguy478]

Excellent build Phil!

[@RuiSilvaPT]

This is simply amazing... Can't really add much to my comment... I would buy one PVB-1. I would try to build one but I don't have many tools required for this job. Awesome build!
