2×63" Belt grinder build.

[z-edition 006]

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:

Looks like a good start, but that roll of ductape may be a weak point!

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

duct tape is NEVER the weak point

Haha yes i know. I just use that as a guide before i get my 5,1" drive wheel.

Thats because i wanted something compact.

Thats right haha. You can even build boats with duc tape

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

I'm following this one Z-edition 006.

You’re gonna need more duct tape, that clamp will never hold

Nice build for not having any plans!

Is that a Bosch hand/trim router you used with the grinding bit? Pretty clever.

Thanks. The Bosch router works great with a grinding bit.

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.

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

Here it is all ready to use.

I made some sort of a shield/guard, to prevent sparks flying in my face.

Nice job, and thanks for the video.

Your router work is better than my machining work! Cool build!
