Picked up my plans two weeks ago and finished getting it together and working today. Still some tweaking to do I'm sure, and have to take it apart and give it a coat of paint, but the plans made it go very smooth. I found a few problems and discrepancies in the plans, but nothing big and nothing that causes but a little bit of thinking and a minor bit more time to work out. Good job Brian.
such a great product.. I bought the gen 3 Ultimate Bundle.. took me 1 full day to build. it was an easy build with great support!! I also bought the 7" drive wheel and small wheel attachment from TR Maker.. all amazing.. really stepped up my game. Thank You!!!
I thought you have a tracking mechanism on generation 3?? That’s the plans I got and built from was the gen.3 and as soon as I finished it you came out with the gen 4. Lol. But luckily you updated the plans and emailed them to me free of charge!!! And for that I thank you good sir. Now I just need to update my grinder!
Living here in Australia, postage is the price killer. I have just bought your plans and will get the parts laser cut out over here. (yes, some kangaroos can run CNC laser cutters) Perfect result for me. Thanks
Another A ++++ video. Where did you get the ability to speak as you do with no script? I think you picked it up from your Mother. I wouldn't be able to speak so fluently as you do. So proud of you!!! BTW - the knives that need sharpening are getting closer to my auto and may be on their way to you . . . . SOON!!
How much will be cost the 4th generation model of belt sander machine and can I make a request the plan and how much is it sir? I always glad to see all your invention in TH-cam videos . I need also a good propane gas forge burner made from fire bricks and l really dont remember if you have already post in your TH-cam channel. Thank you sir sharing your talent and good ideas to do better on our workshop.
I purchased plans for gen 3 and am not quite done and would like to incorporate the improvements in gen 4. I have access to a laser and would like the dxf files for gen 4 as well as the instructions. looks like I will need a new base plate cut. Respectfully Bob Kerr
Good stuff Brian, I'm in the middle of building now. Just finished heat treating some O1 tool steel for the platen and started welding some of the minor parts yesterday. I do find some of the R8 plans a little short in explaining smaller details of the layout, but where is the fun in building if you don't have to do a little thinking along the way? :-) Keep on it, this is excellent quality content.
@@HouseMadeUS Just thinking it should be beveled before weldup, as I think it would affect the geometry if you ground it to a bevel after welding. Wouldn't be easy to bevel without a belt grinder
Awsome work brother! I´ve bought from your website a set of plans to build a grinder. I´ve had the plate cut by a local company that owns a CNC plasma cutter. Guess now I will take some of your impovements to my built. As always, fantastic job. Greets from Spain. Keep up the good work!
Brian! As always very informative and always improving! Watch every video many times. I have been lucky enough to be swamped at my work to the point I have not built my kit yet. That being said, with all the fantastic upgrades you have come up with, do you have an upgrade kit avalible that I can buy from you with just the new parts? Best wishes always!!!!
What came first, the chicken or the egg. I built a cnc plasma table and was going to buy the plans and cad files to build this grinder but the 2x72 grinder I have access to doesn't have an adjustable table to easily clean up my parts and my mill is the same one House has in the video. How do I do a nice job building the grinder without said grinder? Heck, I could easily build this just from the videos and prints shown in the videos (this is how great his youtube videos are) but I want a 2x72 like yesterday. Yes, I broke down and just ordered the entire kit. Laser cut parts are great (I also have a weldtables laser cut table that I welded together) and once I have the machine built per the plans, I can build an arm with a rotary platen setup and do a large contact wheel and buffing wheel setup. The videos sold me on the kit. Sometimes just because you can build something all on your own, doesn't mean there aren't good reasons to use someone else's product which is already well designed, manufactured, and proven.
I can’t wait to buy one of your kits. I just need to get a couple more tools together in my own shop before I’ll have the ability to put it together. Awesome work on these grinders. Living the dream my man
And now they've changed the backorder again. It says June now. Are there other sources for these or similiar motors? Its a problem that the motors you recommend arent available for multiple months at this point.
Bought the kit at Gen3, haven't built yet and now the 4 is out. Can I still use the Gen3 parts with a gen4 build, or do I need to modify any of the laser cut parts?
Bought the gen 4 kit and I would suggest 1 change -- make the Risers part of the kit- even if you charge more. Many of us do not have access to a drill press big enough to do the 3/4 hole especially all the way straight through both sides of the 2" x 2" x 1/4 thick. I am trying to make due but I fear this will be by far the weakest link in my build. All the rest of the build seems to be ok so far.
Great video, Brian! I saw your note about upgrade kits. I think I have a gen 2 (is there a way to tell?). Will upgrades just bolt right on, and fit all gens, or will mods to the grinder be required?
Ordered my 4.0 bundle a few days ago, waiting for shipment like a little girl having to pee. I am excited to start building. The one thing I am having a problem with, is sourcing the motor, I did get on the list for notification when it is in stock. Also having trouble letting go of $360 for the vfd . I don't want the cheaper version either, worried about the enclosure. Is there any vfd that is sealed around $200 that you might recommend? You do a great job testing for your recommendations and may not have tested another, but have you found anything out there that might be an acceptable sealed unit? I know time is money, and I am still researching but exhausted. Thank you so much for what you do for this community, I love your content, keep up the good work. From a Guy in Tucson
@@mystakilla I did build it, and I love it. I put a 2hp 220v motor on it, and I went with the Chinese hundred-dollar vfd off of amazon, and scavenged a money box and made an enclosure out of it. I put master power switch on it and the vfd comes with a remote it has a little box that you can snap the remote into and that is mounted onto the face of the box. In total I have about $800 in it. Because I could not get the motor he recommended, I just got one from Granger and it cost me a llittle over $200. Thank you for asking, I would recommend you jump all over that bundle from Brian, you will never be disappointed. It is a well designed Industrial quality grinder, that will last you a lifetime. With the money I have in it it is easily a $3,500 machine. Don't wait, Jump On It as soon as you can I use that grinder daily. Good luck and happy grinding.
That’s a great question. My speeds are all over the place which is why I really try to get folks to build the grinder with a vfd. It’s such an amazing versatile tool when you can speed up and slow down the belt, not to mention reverse the belt. Thanks for watching. Hope to see you build a grinder one day. 💪🏻
Backorder on the 2hp motor just changed the date, adding another 3 weeks, at least. That'll be 6 weeks, if it happens. All motors you've recommended are out of stock, and I'm not sure if they are ever going to restock, considering how things are going with china. Frustrating to have sunk resources into what amounts to a sculpture.
The 3hp came in stock at automation direct and I jumped on it and just the other day, the 2hp came into stock. I looked at other sources but there isn't a lot out there. Patience and quick action when they come in is necessary. I signed up for the email alerts and it worked.

Hi Jonathan, all of this info is on my website: www.HouseMade.us
Outstanding. A really solid design and great function.
Almost done with my build!!! Thanks for everything!!!
Awesome, man! Yesss!
Great video Brian, and making a quality affordable grinder kit for people. Your a good dude!
Thank you Sean!!
Great job! You have me wanting to upgrade my early version of the revolution!
Coming soon!! 💪🏻😁
I gotta to learn to weld. haha Then I will buy and put together great video and your machine work looks so good
Thanks Brian love the grinder👊
I need to upgrade my platen setup and work rest with your current gen. Looks great. My work rest is not forgiving when it comes to getting it square.
Sounds good. I’ll have upgrade kits made up soon. 💪🏻
Nice work brian. Hope all is well
Thanks Richard! Cheers to you as well. 💪🏻
Great job!! Please, show us more about you surface grinder. Regards from Brazil.
Okay I will. Thank you. ⚡️⚡️⚡️
@@HouseMadeUS I wait wishful
Very cool man I’m looking forward to building one!

Just bought one of your kits can’t wait to get building thanks!
Shipping out this morning. Thank you Stephen for supporting my work!
Looking forward to doing business with you folks.i want the parts kit an control an motor.how much would that be estimated
Hi Billy, most folks have about $1300 invested in the Revolution once built.
Ordering one tomorrow
Thank you Travis!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
I just received my hardware pack for this. Just waiting for the rest!!
On the way! 💪🏻😁
Have you tried that surface grinder in the horizontal mode?

Would love to know I you built the flattened yourself and have plans for that or if you bought it and could link it
When is the full Tab & Slot version coming Brian???
Coming sooooon! 😎
Do you have a plans set for the magnetic 2x72 grinder attachment
No I do not. Maybe in the future. So many people want to try and build one.
Great job Brian, I would like to know if it is possible to use 2000mm belts without making any changes
Yes 2000mm belts work great. We do this with our EU kits.
Is the work table cutout notch beveled at a 45, so the table can be pulled in tight to the platen for a near "zero clearance" fit?
That can be done quite easily, but we don’t do that before shipping. I gotta say I have thought about doing that many times. 💪🏻😁
@@HouseMadeUS Just thinking it should be beveled before weldup, as I think it would affect the geometry if you ground it to a bevel after welding. Wouldn't be easy to bevel without a belt grinder

How tightly to tighten the belt? With what strength?
30lbs or so will do it.

Are you going to offer Gen 4 work rest on your store, like you did the D-Plate ?
Well deserved sir..
Thank you!
What about spark/dust catchers and guards?
Yes I have those and they work great.
When will we be able to just buy the grinder from you? Just a thought. Thanks from Florida
I’m considering doing builds in the near future. What part of Florida are you in?
@@HouseMadeUS I’m in Dade City just 25 miles north of Tampa. Thanks for your reply
Definitely doable for your location. The shipping is the toughest part of these things. They have to go freight.
@@HouseMadeUS When you ask me where in Florida I was thinking you might be here or have family that lives here.
So cool!
Thank you!! 💯
So I have the gen 3 kit sitting on my bench waiting for time to build it. What would it take to get the tracking mechanism and other upgrades?
Working on an upgrade kit as we speak. I’ll send out an update when I have the details. 💪🏻
@HouseMadeUS guess who still needs to put this grinder together? I need to get ahold of you to figure out what upgrades I need?
Very nice belt grinder!!!!!!
But in my country we use cm no inches.
Its problem!!!!!!
I’m with you. The world should be metric! 💪🏻
Does anyone on here sell a completed 4th Gen Revolution 2x72 ?

I have updated the resources page with this information. Buy one quick they will most likely sell out also.
@@HouseMadeUS thank you for dealing with this issue so quickly. Another reason to recommend the Revolution anytime grinders come up.
Bought the kit at Gen3, haven't built yet and now the 4 is out. Can I still use the Gen3 parts with a gen4 build, or do I need to modify any of the laser cut parts?
The Gen 4 parts fit the Gen 3 chassis without modification. Cheers! Brian

Great video, Brian! I saw your note about upgrade kits. I think I have a gen 2 (is there a way to tell?). Will upgrades just bolt right on, and fit all gens, or will mods to the grinder be required?
Yes the upgrade kit will just bolt up. The hinges on the work rest would need to be cut off if you didn’t want to keep using the older version.
