September 11, 200718 yr Are there any blueprints for a belt grinder on this site? If not I need to make one and I can draw it up in AutoCad for the site.((?))
September 11, 200718 yr May not be posted herein but I wrote this one several years ago and it is free for public consumption:http://www.balconesforge.org/techarticles/sander.pdfBP0215 Belt Grinder
September 11, 200718 yr A quick search found the following. BP0215 Belt Grinder BP0354 Grinder BP0327 Belt Grinder related materials BP0235 Knife Finishing
September 12, 200718 yr Author Just checked out the blueprints and there are some great designs BUT I was talking about AutoCad prints which could be dropped off at a machine shop or more pointly made by the keen hands of members here. Id save them as .gif so everyone could use them. These would be highly precise .dwgs that would be comparable and beyond anything you could buy. I think Ive already talked myself into starting tomorrow;)
September 13, 200718 yr Author The .dwg are just about done for the belt grinder and I designed it so really only a couple of tools need precise maching. Ill post them just for review and some ideas from you guys but I think youll enjoy it. I didnt include motor though because the options there remain immense. The KMG chasis only is 549.00. Juts drive wheels, idle wheel, shaft, 2 pillow blocks will run you 200.00 plus steel and machine work so I think it can be done for almost half. Like the chassis this doesnt include tooling ((bars ect)) Should I proceed or is there not enough interest. LMK
September 13, 200718 yr Send me the drawings (dwg and jpg formats) and I can add them to the Blueprints. Better yet, as you build your grinder, take lots of photos and we can work that up as it's own Blueprint and add the drawings there.
