This is my attempt of building a decent belt grinder for various tasks in my garage. I don‘t have any drawing when building it, just a MDF board and a 2×63″ belt, thats all.

Here are some pictures:

Any reason you chose to go with a 2x63 and not a 2x72?

Thats because i wanted something compact.

It looks great, I was going to mention that if you can double-support all of the wheels and then use a drive coupling/shaft coupling to the electric motor, it will last a very long time.

Sometimes the overhung/cantilevered load on the motor's shaft can cause durability issues with the motor's bearings.

Just an idea, its very nice work you have going on there :thumbup:

NICE WORK Z!


But I'm actually kinda disappointed you didn't stick with the original MDF and duct tape design. With your talent, you obviously could have made it work.

:p

Haha yes why not. You can even make a boat out of duct tape (mythbuster style)
