I made a similar grinder out of 6 and 20mm plywood using only a desktop CNC machine, screws and glue. There is only one polished stainless steel plate in the entire machine. The machine has been working great for 2 years now.
WoW. I created one, along these lines a few years ago. 2 x 42 inch one. Used a skateboard wheel ( with bearings ) as the top tracking. I put a slight convex curve in the face ( as it turned on a fast drill - with file ) to keep belt centred. As well, did the same for the 5.5 inch 2 pieces of 1 inch plywood, glued / screwed together, for the motor drive. Same convex curve, too. I used a 2 inch half-moon, round wood rasp, for the tracking on the skateboard wheel, on a welded - on shaft. VERY GOOD grip, to adjust it. Motor - 1 hp 3450 rpm. So, using the 2 inch tracking wheel, the belt probly goes over 5500 rpm. TAKES OFF metal really fast, using 80 grit belt. Anyway.....good luck, all. (salvaged magnets, from microwaves to catch the filings, on the bottom) THE world, is full of creative / inventive persons. BE / WORK / PLAY ENJOY LIFE SAFELY - wear a toque over your ears, ear protection, eye protection, steel toed boots, maybe a leather smock, when welding / grinding in shop. I've burnt enuff holes in clothes........so have you. Take care, Mr Xformer.......thanks, for the on-going education, for those whose MINDS are open, to NEW IDEAS.
muchas gracias por este valioso aporte, a muchos nos hace falta una herramienta que no es posible pagar y que mejor que construir una de alto desempeño con elementos que tenemos en el taller...saludos desde Bolivia
You did great work with what you have. I believe a Bridgeport would be all you need. Any special attachments I think you would have no problems making. Headstock and tailstock for o.d. grinding ,a magnetic table for surface grinding and an indexer for squares ,spirals or flutes. I think you could do it. I would try it but I don't have any room or machines,
Great build but at17:34 when the wheel was turned it looked like it had a slight variance in height by about a 1 1/32 of an inch. Also plans please I wouldn't mind trying to build this
Hmm. Not crazy about the music. Also, your "wheels" should have a crown rather than being flat, as it will improve tracking. Other than that, cool build. And very nice to share your plans!
Gute Arbeit, bis auf die Rolle. Warum hast du sie nicht in der Höhe der Pendelachse angebracht ? So schwenkt sie hin und her statt nur zu kippen. Aber diesen Fehler machen hier 90 Prozent der Homeworker.
Thank you Werner for your comment. It is an awesome suggestion and I will definitely will consider it for my next videos. Also your suggestion will end up having taller support behind the sander which is great. Many thanks
Vielen Dank Werner für Ihren Kommentar. Es ist ein genialer Vorschlag und ich werde es auf jeden Fall für meine nächsten Videos in Betracht ziehen. Auch Ihr Vorschlag wird am Ende mit größerer Unterstützung hinter dem Schleifer, die groß ist. Danke vielmals (Hope google has translated to German correctly)
This vid is really great, i do miss some details that keep me wondering how to copy that ? The main wheel ... what is its exact size and the French dude said: A bigger wheel will cost you torque. Did you change the size of the first wheel ? And what size was the second wheel and what size did you adapt it to ? How do you know that your machine runs at 1500 rpm ? What is the size of those bearings you use for the guide roller ? How many kilos does your machine weight ? How would someone adjust the speed to prevent the belt will melt ? Or that is stops because it is not strong enough ? What program is used to makje the design blueprint ? How many lanquages do you speak ? I am still fighting the main base plate i am trying to make the perfect metal mall to cut future plates with the plasma cutter.
Mr Transformer.. U have got some brilliant metalwork skills my brother.. WOW. I was going to buy one of those Motors on VEVOR for 170 euros but u found one and made it good again. Was the motor working or did u need to fix it to run again?? What i built is magnificent to be honest with u. I salute u Sir. That's a great piece u built there. Cedit to ya man.. I just found ur channel so I sub'd and shared, liked all that good stuff..
Show de projeto, o único ponto que achei que poderia ser melhorado seria alongar mais o eixo para afastar a cinta do motor porque ficou parecendo que limita um pouco os movimentos ao trabalhar.
Proprio quello che cercavo ! Bravo. Ho visto il disegno tecnico con le misure dei tagli e dei fori. Sarebbe possibile che tu me le facessi avere ? Ti ringrazio in anticipo.
@@TheTransformerChannel sei stato gentilissimo e ti ringrazio per la tu disponibilità . Ho trovato quello che cercavo. Grazie ancora. PS. Mi sono iscritto al tuo canale. Ciao. Guido
Is it just me but i am missing 2 parts in the pdf file. The plate with the 2 slides in it en the backplate are not showen in ther pdf ? Now i am stuck i can only quess how to fix this.
I can't quite understand the horsepower recommendations for small, almost tiny belt grinders. A large wood belt grinder which has a huge load on it, is a 1 horsepower 14 amp motor with a 6" wide belt. For metal, the Craftsman bench grinders cannot be stopped, literally. They are only about 6 amps. Normal bench grinders are trash, with only about 3.0 amp motors. That's like 1/8th horsepower. How do you go from a 1/8th horsepower bench grinder to needing 2 horsepower to sand a small piece of metal? I'm not sure I understand why the motors are so big on belt grinders. I'd think a 10 amp, 1/2 horsepower motor would be more than enough.
Oh the irony. There were so many parts he fabricated for this belt grinder that could have been made so much more easily and quicker if only he'd had ....... Erm.......... a belt grinder. :D
Hi Johnny, no water at all. It looks like water in our videos but it is completely different fluid. Please let me know if you would like to know more or need more details :)
How do I get the plans please
Hi Steven, you would be able to download them from the links in description. Please let me know if you have any issues. More than happy to help 😊
That's a great project. Your use of heavy steel plate in its construction will add to its accuracy, rigidity, and longevity.
I wanted to thank this gentleman for putting up a free PDF, I respect that and thank you. A fan from France
I made a similar grinder out of 6 and 20mm plywood using only a desktop CNC machine, screws and glue. There is only one polished stainless steel plate in the entire machine. The machine has been working great for 2 years now.
Nice job. I suggest drilling all inside corners when hand-making parts from plate. Great time saver and better finish.

Beautifully compact machine - could be stored under the bench when not in use, big plus for a small workshop. Well done, from a new subscriber.
Awesome, thank you and welcome to my channel
ive been looking for a simple tension / tracing design for ages ,with a little modification this will be perfect thank you
Fantástico, o senhor por mostrar seu trabalho e compartilhar, seu projeto, não sendo egoísta, de ajudar o próximo.
Muito obrigado
background music reminds me of a 90's adventure style video game crossing the vast kingdoms
I love how you carefully marked it all out then completely ignored it
Thank you for your comment
It's nice to see a working man. A symphony! The world is not overgrown with office shit yet.
Thanks mate 👍
Very good, thank you for sharing your knowledge and design. Only this time I found a design image.
Thank you and I am glad you liked it
Love it..❤ Kinda simple, without much meterials. I'm gonna copy exactly as you did. Thank you for sharing.

And yes thanks for your free plans .

When I do those threads, I always start the cut from the chuck of the drill press! That way I can be sure that it will be straight! Just saying!
Thank you for your comment. Great idea!

Nice job !!!
Alow you to easy upgrade if u need longer belts …only by adding an arm on the plate …with an roller at the other end
🙏🙏🙏
Sederhana namun sangat berfungsi dengan baik 👍👍👍
terima kasih banyak

A plasma torch is definitely on my list. Looks like you built this thing with a hatchet.
Also in my list 😉
What a rude thing to say. 🤦
Outstanding video quality enjoyed every minute even the music

Hello... what specific RPM speed of electric motor that used in this belt sander project?
1500 rpm
@@TheTransformerChannel Could I used my 1.5 HP electric motor with 2800rpm speed for knive making grinding purpose?
Realy I am not sure about rpm, But I suggest use a more powefull electic motor
@@TheTransformerChannel Thank you very much for the advice.
Nice job
Great idea well done.
Thank you! Cheers!

Are you using water as a cutting fluid ?
Hi Johnny, no water at all. It looks like water in our videos but it is completely different fluid. Please let me know if you would like to know more or need more details :)
Best part: no welding, which not all people can do or have
Can u tell me about the name of chemical who's u used on liver and plates for black
What's the diameter and thickness of the wood? I didn't see that in the plans.
Very Hard But Amazing Job
