It's been 2 years since you got the rotary platen, so how are you liking it now? Any pros, cons, suggestions? Thanks for sharing and taking the time for us!
I'd definitely love to have one of these! Until I can afford one, I just took Michael Quesenberry's advise and got a sheet of rubber (from enco or grizzly?) and cut it out to fit my disc grinder. I've only tried one blade so far but it worked very nicely for convexing the edge. I'll be looking forward to your next vids, take care :)
I am curious about the tracking wheel adjustment...where is it?...from what I've seen on most grinders there's a knob or something next to the tracking wheel?
andy macleod The TW-90 Does not have a tracking wheel per se. The motor is mounted on a swivel bracket and IT is the tracking wheel. So the drive wheel is also the tracking adjustment. If you check out my other video on the grinder i show where the tracking knob is. It’s toward the middle of the machine.
I get if now I think....took me a while. Do you release tension on the top and bottom nuts above and below the drive wheel.....adjust with the turn knob and tighten up again when happy?
That is a sweet rig man. Happy New Years from Richardson, TX

Good video. I had been actually looking into one of those a few weeks ago lol! Like you said not too many videos out there.
Man that ratchet instead of a spring is a stroke of genius....i think
andy macleod You have no idea! It works so well. There is a spring as well, it’s just not directly to the belt.

If you look in this opening scene at the middle of the machine you will see a round, black knob. That’s the tracking adjustment
Much appreciated...ill check that out now...good videos by the way

andy macleod No need to loosen any bolts, you just turn the tracking knob.
So what grinder is it that they don't make it for? Please don't tell me a Bader BIII.
Edmond Dantez Not really sure. i think the two arm options are 1.25” for TW90 and 1.5” for BMT grinder.
@@sanjacintoknives Thanks for that, I think it should fit my Bader then.
