Built on a heavy-duty steel frame, this homemade 2x72 belt grinder project is ideal for a knife maker, blacksmith, metal fabricator, or hobbyist looking for a serious grinder without paying $2,000+ for a commercial unit.
The hard work has already been done. All major components are included, but final assembly, wiring, and tuning are required.
Features:
* Heavy welded steel construction
* Adjustable tracking/tension arm with gas shock
* Multiple aluminum wheels installed
* Tool arm design allows future attachments
* 2x72 belt configuration (industry standard)
* 3 HP DC treadmill motor included
* New bridge rectifier included
* Additional components and hardware included
What’s Needed:
* Final electrical wiring and controls
* Assembly and alignment
* Testing and setup
* Cosmetic cleanup if desired
* Box for electrical control
This would make an excellent grinder for:
* Knife making
* Blacksmithing
* Tool fabrication
* General metalworking
The frame is extremely stout and built to last. With some finishing work, this could easily become a professional-quality machine at a fraction of the cost of a new commercial grinder.
