Polish_Grinders Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Hello! I'm knifemaking enthusiast, but building machines always were greater fun for me than later using it I would like to introduce my grinder to you. It uses 50x2000mm belts, but 2x72 inches belts can be used too. (It's adjustable) Motor: 1,5kW 3 phase motor (But I'm also mounts 1,5kW 230V 1 phase motors) Belt speed - 24m/s with 160mm drive wheel or 30m/s when I'm using 200mm drive wheel Weight about 60kg. It's prototype, but as we can see on this video - it works nice and smooth (Sorry for bad quality of video) Best regards: Maciej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc1 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I am no grinder expert, but that machine looks very well made. You have a lathe and a mill to make that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 How does it work with a contact wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polish_Grinders Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 Marc1 Yes. I'm also cooperate with my friend, who is machinist We are considering of build few more refined pieces, because sometimes building machines for blacksmithing is just as much fun as blacksmithing itself! ThomasPowers For now I've got only flat platen (I'm not making knives with hollow grind, so I don't need it that much), but I consider it so maybe in future I'll add video with contact wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Welcome to IFI... Have you read this thread yet? https://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/53873-read-this-first/It will help you get the best out of the forum. One hint is to edit your profile to show your location because we won't remember that once leaving this thread. Another is to reduce the size of the pictures so they don't take up a lot of bandwidth, and we do love pictures but those on dial up connections have trouble with downloading them.
