Glue some neodymium magnets to the grinders catch box. Get twice as much crap off the clean out. Slick build, and the rod sharpening setup is wicked! 👍
Beautiful work. It's rare that you see a DIY video finish with something looking professional. Beautifully shot video as well; no nonsense, tasteful cuts (especially on the welding) kept the pace engaging while still showing enough to communicate what was happening. Really great!
Thanks for sharing this insightful video. I’d add a rare-earth magnet to each of your spark containers. This video has given me some ideas on repurposing an old bench grinder. Wishing you and your family a blessed week, gentle weather and restful evenings. Peace
Die Idee mit dem Bessey Spanner ist großartig! Jetzt noch einen günstigen Frequenzumrichter dran und man kann auch noch die Drehzahl und die Laufrichtung einstellen.
I've got a big 2x72 grinder but I keep feeling myself being drawn to something like this. The big beast is a great machine; dead stable and absolutely slays metal but it is BIG, loud and it's hard to justify using it just to bevel 3" of a small part.
I built a similar solution for my tungsten grinding, just bolted a diamond wheel straight to the stone. But I put in a pipe straight out from the axle to connect the shop vac.
MEH... (most excellent hybrid) I want to dig into your machinist's mind and copy all those designs but... Anyone can do it if only, anyone had the passion and diversified skills and imagination... And anyone should take and absorb the inspiration and create their own designs, you know, be original, like you. THAT is what makes building something so very satisfying. Thank you for your dedication and for sharing your MEH... Most Excellent Hybrid ideas. Amazing contraption and excellent video work. And thank you for not blasting our ears with silly music... It lets you concentrate and immerse your mind into the process.
@@TheMetalist I've sent you a message through Etsy since your link in this video did not showed the actual build plans for the grinder, only a page with other machine designs. Please send me the link when you can. Much Obliged.
@@TheMetalist Mr. Metalist, or should I call you 'Medalist'? (it seems any project you touch, you champion it...) What do you call the 'expander' with the orange handle used for stretching the band? Can't seem to find it by name... (At least not by what I think it's called..) Thank you kindly.
Sau geil gemacht, Respekt! Das baue ich nach! Danke für das Video! Wie genau funktioniert das mit der Stellschraube, dass das Band mittig läuft? Welche Bandgröße nutzt du, 686mm?
those are skate board wheels correct? even your video quality and editing are exceptional, i love that you speed the video up, they would be way to long if you didnt
I'm making a belt sander also, and using an 80's polyurethane skateboard wheel that looks exactly like .... yours. Krypton is the brand name if I remember correctly.
What a great idea to upgrade my old grinder. I'll give it a try too, but I am afraid I have to watch this vid many times before even starting this project.. Looks simple but to make it work like yours?? Wish me good luck and many thanks for your trouble teaching us. Friendly regards from Holland, Marcel Knippers.
Boah, Dirk, krasser Build, wie immer.. Ein Hochgenuss zu zusehen! Und vielen Dank, dass Du das ganze Moppet Schwarz lackiert hast und nicht so eine TeleTubbyFarbe genommen hast! Mega! Die Kombi mit der orangen Schrift ist echt sexy.. Ganz Feine Sache, sozusagen! Freue mich schon auf Dein nächstes Werk! Bleib gesund und frohes Schaffen!
Dankeschön 😁 die Idee mit dem spanner hatte ich eigentlich schon länger. Setzt mich dann immerhin und schau was ich an Material da habe oder welche Möglichkeiten es noch gibt. Von der Idee bis ich dann endlich anfangen Vergehen dann immer ein paar Wochen da ich dann meistens noch andere Projekte imlaufen habe. Der Bau geht dann relativ schnell glaube das waren so 8-10h dieses mal 😁
Die Elektrodenschleifvorrichtung ist ja so unfassbar genial - ich glaube, das werde ich kopieren, denn ich stehe neuerdings vor genau diesem Problem 🙈 Danke
GEIL GEIL GEIL, back to the Rots. Hammer, und genau so isses wen ein Schlosser was baut, und kein Maschinenbauer. Alles mit Bohrmschiene Hammer und Säge.......und Gefüüüühl....Dirk..RESPEKT
By far the best diy belt Grinder setup. You've inspired me to get my ass out in the shop and get to work. The added tungsten option is the shit now. BTW what are doing with Snake Plissken's cane? I'm intrigued. You definitely got mad skills.
Geil gemacht 👍😉 ABER ich meinte die bauart eines lang bandschleifer (geile oberfläche😉) 1 - 1,5m breit 😉 Das Klötzchen für die elektrodenführung hab ich aus alu jemacht und jeschraubt ;) und diese schrägbohren. Genau zwei dieser Klötzer aneinander und dann schräg am Stoß reinbohren 🤔😉. Der erste der weiß wie man macht um Elektrode so kurz wie möglich😉 Und nicht diese 3D Drucker🙈
Hallo Dirk, sehr geil umgesetzt. Alte Maschinen im neuen Look, mit neuer Funktion. Du hast meinen vollsten Respekt,bin schon auf die nächsten Projekte gespannt. Einen guten Start in die neue Woche, bleib gesund. Grüße Thüringen.. 🛠️👍
Hi Andreas, dankeschön ja auf die nächsten Projekte freu ich mich schon sehr. Sind 1-2 besondere dabei 😁👍 Wünsche dir auch einen guten Start in die Woche 😁👋
Simple yet precise. Minimal stock required, yet robust. Looks a treat, and does not require any of my "One Day" tools. ( One day I'll have a CNC Mill.. And I'll have a 65 inch Grizzly...) I'll see what I can come up with in regards to dust extraction. Impressive work. 👌
Very neat, but I'd be worried about that belt snapping and smacking the face... Might be worth refining the design by adding a minor guard of some sort--just enough to prevent that without sacrificing the top-use functionality of the belt.
I mean, yeah, its nice work and a good design. Problem is Step One: Buy thousands of dollars of equipment. Step Two: Fabricate belt sander attachment that only costs $150-250 on Eastwood's website. Depending on if you want a big wheel version or not. Then this begs the question, if you can afford all the equipment that you have, why not just buy the attachment? If you work for a shop, it costs them more to pay you to make this than it would to just buy one.
Excelente proyecto muy bien desarrollado y mejor ejecutado , una magnífica lijadora de banda a partir de un esmeril , gracias por compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias , un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón (Galicia) 🤓 🔝
At first I was going to leave a comment and ask you how you decontaminate your tungsten after you contaminated it with that stone wheel...then I realized you had a diamond wheel on the outside where you sharpen your tungsten... 8:20... apparently I missed that part ...very clever...👍

Very impressive! The design, the construction, the video editing, all top-notch!
Thanks a lot 😁👍
I’ll second that.👍
Lovin' that fume extractor! 👍
When carrying out a job like this, should you already know the size of the sandpaper you intend to use? or not?
Yes
No fucking way. Everything on this channel is just mindblowing.

I've maybe missed it but I can't see the plans on your etsy shop for this?
I built a similar solution for my tungsten grinding, just bolted a diamond wheel straight to the stone. But I put in a pipe straight out from the axle to connect the shop vac.
What are you using for a small adjustable straight edge?
I can't found the plans in yout page, do u sell the plans? I want to make it
Very well thought out design 👌🏼 I’ve wanted to do this to one of my bench grinders for the longest time lol.
Thanks for another amazing video!

Do you have measurements or plans for the belt sander attachment?
Thanks keep up the great videos

@@TheMetalist That brand and type of wheel has a steel core. It does work great. Less slippage because of the Rubber-ish material.

See there's a new addition on the Bessey clamp.. nice video hope your keeping well my friend.

Thank you
Yes all good 😁👍
Your approach to the work is immaculate. Beautiful
where did you find the clamp for the tension of the center??
It is a Bessey BESSTCIHH25 push toggle clamp. Other brands are cheaper.
thank you!!! THATS how to make a cheap metal wheel!

Beau travail, comme toujours et un plaisir à regarder ,bravo pour ton ingéniosité
Don’t muck about with tungsten dust. Get some active dust collection on there with a good hepa filter.
Yes right, 100% right i just Was looking for a option without a vacuum
😠
