Bench Grinder Belt and Disk Sander Attachment......NEW - eBay (item 250329306270 end time Nov-27-08 19:46:02 PST)

yup, I bought one, it has been a good purchase for me. I am now looking at the coote grinder, it looks like the next step for me.

Glad to hear from someone who has used one.... Hows the contact wheel?? Im sure it would be a great leap up from what Ive been laboring with ;)

I have one of these on my Milwaukee 8 Inch 3/4 hp bench grinder. Great investment! I use the belt side far more than the grinding wheel. Anything from deburring to serious hogging and sharpening. I actually don't remember when I bought it, several years ago. I do not have the side miter table on mine, it was extra as I bought it from McMaster Carr for around $250.00. I don't remember what they wanted for the miter table. Plus I had to buy an adapter for the Milwaukee. It is extremely well made and I highly recommend this, as long as you have a good grinder to put it on. If not, buy one of their combos with a grinder. Get the biggest you can afford, 8 inch is far better than the 6 inch grinder. I could not find the 8 inch unit that they used to offer on their website.

Well I bought a 2" belt sander/ 6" disc sander combo from sears for about $100 and that seems to beat this deal. I understand that they have discontinued selling them now though. I use mine a lot and really like it. The disc sander part is expendable though, I never use mine. The belt is great for all types of shaping/beveling/sharpening projects.

What Im really wanting is a grinder with a contact wheel..Thats why Im thinking about this one...BUT then agin Im worried about the short 2" x 36" belts

i have seen a few grinder sander with the 2x36 belts and my self have had little luck finding a sorce for them thats resonable i find a lot of 48" and 72"so i have decided to make one instead of buying

I have been buying my belts from Klingspor Abrasives. A friend gave me a gig to cut 4 by 36 belts in 1/2, which is what I think Klingspor has been doing. I use the blue zirconium belts and prefer them

duh never though of that

try going to the site Coote Belt Grinder
this is a motor attachment, it seems to me to be a pretty good deal for a grinder setup, I'm saving up for it, but since I just bought a grizzly bandsaw, it's gonna be a while.
