Tool Review- Grizzly 2x72 Grinder Review

[@Belows682]

hey man. i hope you see and reply to this. do you find that it not having variable speed to get in the way of doing certain things? I've read that being able to tone down the speed is beneficial for more detailed work. have you ran into any issues with that? any work around if so? thanks and may your grinds be clean.

[@ForgedEdge]

I definitely wish it was a variable speed, but I really like this one for the price. I will be getting an upgrade soon because I would like a variable speed and wheel attachments

[@ForgedEdge]

And yes for smaller more detailed areas lower speed would be nice

[@Belows682]

@@ForgedEdge sounds good. Thanks for the feedback, dude!

[@ForgedEdge]

No problem. Thanks for watching!

[@afiblacksails23]

Very informative thanks for the video made me help decide on a grinder

[@ForgedEdge]

Glad I could help!

[@aaronkolatch5211]

How do you fix that tracking problem with the belt?

[@ForgedEdge]

I found that if you put some tape around the bottom wheel it fixes the tracking problem on the top

[@aaronkolatch5211]

@@ForgedEdge ok great. Like duct tape?

[@ForgedEdge]

Yeah I used the black duct tape so it looks good. You don't need to much

[@aaronkolatch5211]

@ForgedEdge okay, great. I have a 2 by 72 Grizzly coming in. I'm going to put a piece of duct tape around the bottom wheel, and hopefully, that'll solve the problem for me. Thanks a lot.

[@ForgedEdge]

No problem glad I could help

[@thomaswatkins8820]

Put one or two wraps of electrical tape in the center of the big wheel and that will stop most of the tracking issue you are having.

[@ForgedEdge]

Thanks! I will try that out

[@navy80to04]

I have a wire in my hand from a wire wheel

[@ForgedEdge]

Those things shoot off all the time I recently switched to a buffing wheel

[@matthvac4918]

Are you able to fix the tracking? I am looking into one of these and I see that it seems to be a common issue.

[@ForgedEdge]

I haven't been able to stop it from moving. It doesn't happen all of the time just on the really small spots it's annoying but I still like this grinder over others I have tried

[@zane6461]

If you put 1 roll of electrical tape on the top idler pulley it will give it enough crown to stay in place when you set it

[@gitss7367]

we have 2 of this model and use only ceramic belts these days. on both machines tracking for us seems to be a belt by belt issue. some its perfect others its not

[@craigkennedy6058]

Do you use the contact wheel?

[@ForgedEdge]

Yeah I do for rounding certain things but it's to big for most of what I make.

[@spetsdod]

Thanks for the review. I will say that having the music playing in the background while you are trying to talk makes it very hard to hear and follow along. In the end, I didn't finish the video because the music was too distracting. Thank you for being a content creator.

[@ForgedEdge]

Thank you for your input I will definitely change this in my future videos
