FatBadger Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I bought a vevor 2x82 variable speed grinder with forward and reverse for apprx. 1300 delivered. We've done plenty of Mod's to it and it seems like, if you can weld it might be in the 750 range plus metal(with vevor parts)(glad I ordered by Amazon) .

Steve Sells Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I am always leery about odd size belt machines, where do you get new belts from, being an uncommon size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 That would also concern me. When we were researching grinders the 2x82 belts were hard to find and very expensive compared to the 2x72 belts. From looking at the picture it looks like there is enough adjustment that you may be able to use 2x72 belts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatBadger Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 We converted it to run 2x82 and 2x72. We shortened the 1 1/2 bar and bought a couple of others for the other attachments. The bearing shaft was the pain to get just right for the extra wheel attachments. So we sent it out to a local machine shop and got a couple spares. I ordered off amazon and they were very comparable in price for aluminum oxide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
