I don't always get blamed, just most of the time, the remaining time I think I just didn't get caught.

I learned all this from Tampa, but he has left me flat.

Strouty, I was thinking cb was challenging you with his "heavy signs" because he knows you move stuff that weighs tons.:lol:

Speaking of Tampa, do any of you guys from Florida know him personally? Is he part of the Florida group you're all in?

I figured they were not for me, I usually stick to New England, maybe New York and a few times Pennsylvania, but I have not done much in Florida...........Yet.

Well I hope that if and when you do see him. Kick his *** if he doesn't have a damn good reason for not being here for a while and it better not be some Lucy, Juicy, Tutti Frutti excuse.

We traded a few messages and I know the area he lives in but that's it. Wouldn't mind meeting him but won't worry me not to either.

Someone is lusting after mine, trying to discourage him.:lol_hitti
Has a sensitive thumb right now.:evil:

Ha I know someone with a fully charged order picker that could lift those like a feather. Signs? We don't see do stinkin' signs.

Agreed. All the weight is in the tops and bases.

Drives, the grinder stand is just mocked up, never had a chance to build. I will post up some photos tonight of the mock up showing my lastest thoughts.

It didn't happen if there isn't pictures.

I too see a lot of good material at our scrap yard. No sale. :mad:

It is unfortunate that in today's world, most children want the fast cash instead if carrying on a hobby or skill.

Here you are Drives, photos of the mocked up and still in design grinder station. My thoughts are to set 4 of my blocks on the 30" steel circle and set the new to me 2" belt grinder on the end.

The 30" would rotate on a old hub off a truck, I would have guides along the outside edge to help steady if needed. I'll probably run a feed through the hub and have outlets above the table. I'm planning on not letting the table rotate more than a full turn.
I also want to cut holes at each of the rear grinder exhaust and duct to below the table for a simple collection.

I may also build a stand for a fifth grinder in the middle, but elevated above the the others. I'm tall, so I don't think it will be a problem.

I'm lazy and despise changing wheels, so I'm going to spread out wire wheels, maybe a couple flaps, a cut off, may set up a drill Chuck on one to use for whatever, aluminum wheel and only a couple actual grinding stones. Will likely have a green stone for tool sharpening.

I would like to set one up for the 3-M abrasive/buffing well on the tapered arbor.

I have a 1HP, 2- 3/4 HP, 3 or 4 1/2HP and 2 1/3HP.

I also have a 3/4HP Dayton that I went through a couple years ago, I could use that as a 8" buffer.

It'll be on castors of course, so if doing a big and dirty grinding project, I can wheel it outside.

What do you all think?

Painted the electric hoist today so I can hang it in its place instead of it hanging 5' above the shop,floor slap in the middle of the doorway.
I painted it brown to match the steel roof frame out front ( concession with my wife) it will look better anyway.
I'll get it hung this weekend when my son is over.

It's has a key lock on the the control handle to keep unauthorized Shorty... I mean people from using.

Here's a pic of the table that I installed on the bandsaw.

I'm thinking of the grinder table. I'm thinking if your gonna have wheels to roll it outside than added the hub might not be needed. Just turn the table on its casters. Now if table was might to be stationary then I can see it being great to rotate. Getting that hoist up will be great. There's no doubt that it was dead in the middle of the pathway. It's coming together and use son as much as possible to speed stuff along. You gonna paint the green Lista s before bringing them inside?

The table has to be able to rotate, look at the grinder right next to the belt grinder.
Besides, I told ya I'm lazy, easier to spin he table to the workplace rather than turn the whole thing:lol_hitti.

My son will help with a couple things this weekend, but he stays pretty busy himself.
I'm going to get the Listas on the frame and castors and move inside as I work on them, be a while before I paint.

Ok than to go along with the lazy theme I think you get a small motor,2 sprockets, and a chain from your son and have the whole rotating system motorized. LOL.

Nooooo, no more projects, I'll be lucky to get this done. The main reason for a rotating table is the fourth grinder would not be accessible up against the belt grinder.
