Archie Zietman Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hello, I have a smal motor powered grinder, with what I think is a sharpener, which grinds of material super fast, and a vicious rusty wire wheel which you can't touch without gloves on the other. I just unbolted it from a workbench right underneath the fusebox, and it is elsewhere. I have removed the wire wheel, but there is still a kind of swcrew-thing which I could put a big wheel on. Is there any way I could put a second wheel higher up supported by, say, some angle iron or something, and make it a belt sander? I am also wondering whether it would be possible to bolt the iron through the outer housing of the motor-thingy, or would this interfere with the motor? Thanks, Archie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkdoc Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 If it were me, I'd leave it as is. A bench grinder with a wire wheel is mighty handy. Find yourself another motor to make a sander out of. Just my 2 cents... 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWooldridge Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Archie, Go to the Blueprint section - http://www.iforgeiron.com/blueprints.htm and look at B-0215. I built it out of junkyard parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
