danguite Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I've been working on this No Weld Grinder over the past few weeks. The NWG plans were very good and easy to follow. They also came with some invaluable advice on how to do certain parts of the project. I have made the tool rest arm, the contact wheel arm, and the slack belt arm. Still working on the flat platen arm, but I snapped my 3/8" tap while making it( cheap Chinese garbage ). Video of first run: Still got some tuning and tweaking, then I'll weld the parts which shouldn't move. I also have to add something to keep the motor from jumping so much when I start it.

windancer Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Link belts reduce the jump and run much smoother and when they break you replace just the broken link and go back to workDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danguite Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 A link belt is definitely on my todo list. However, the only place in town which has them wanted about $100 for 36" of belt. I decided on the regular belt for now, which I got at Fleet Farm for $6 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
