One thing to watch out for is that while you'll get a flatter surface, if you're really hogging (which you aren't doing on yours, as you said, finishing work) you can grind a taper onto your part without realizing it. You've got a much bigger area to work with when you have a disc, but the outer parts are moving a lot faster than the inner parts!

You make it look so easy and again nice job

I enjoy your videos. I've used a belt sander/disc sander combo to work on knife handle material prior to final glue-up. I really like this setup because it looks like the disc is more substantial and it is directly connected to the motor instead of belt and pulley driven. Have you considered installing a vfd so you can reverse the disc?

I built my first 2x72. Once I bought an OBM and saw the quality difference figured the rest of their products would be just as good. So far not disappointed.

Can you comment on what workhorse motor you used?

[@Anderson-HandForged]

i have a OBM dominator 2x72 this summer i plan on buying the disc grinder would you happen to have a link to the iron horse motor you used? thanks Mark

[@jakebalcom9975]

Thanks for the great video, What RPM is the motor you used? 3450 or closer to 1800?

Anyone ever tried this type of grinder from Harbor Freight? Wondering if it's true or not. Some of those HF tools are pretty raggedy as far as being true in their alignment and manufacturing. Price is right if it does a good job though. Anyone ever tried them?
