Exactly what i am looking for. Great job, and understandable presentation. Allthough this was presented 2 years ago, i would very much apreciate to have the plans, please. How can i get them?
Thank you man! It really is a game changer for me. It obviously has it’s own learning curve, but everything is going so much faster and accurate. I promise I’ll post the plans soon, I have the CAD file, I just need to update some things and and new dimensions.
Great build mate. Its exactly what I needed to see, as I am planning a grinder build on an old 3 phase motor I have been hiding for a while! Have you finalised plans yet?
Cheers guys! Sounds like a great build coming up there. Actually I did finish the plans!! I will edit a quick video soon and upload it with the plans 🤩
Very good project! And, looks to be very affordable too. I’m wondering what hp motor you are using and how needed is speed adjustment. I’ve been looking for a simple design to make a grinder for small knife production. I’m doubting that I’d use it much for woodworking, but maybe a bit. Thanks for sharing.
Hi there, thank you for your comment, Im currently using a 2hp motor and a slightly larger and more sturdy controller. Hard wood does challenge it but all metals on low 36 to medium 300 grit runs fine. These motors don’t like low speeds, better to work on higher speeds and play with the grain then try to work with slow belt speed. Good luck
Hi Michael, I’m actually still working on the design 😝 it’s changed so many times in the past year, last week I installed a different motor (treadmill also) and completely changed the motor mount as well as the speed control unit; also added closed ventilation for both. The minute I feel that the design is final and long lasting I will post the plans. Last thing I want to do is post half baked designs that can fail.
Those motors are way to fast to run direct with a 3 or 4 in drive wheel. They spin 7600rpm. You only need 3000-3600 fpm on the belt. a 4 in wheel is going to move just over 12in a min. So High speed is on the motor is going to be close to 8000 fpm. I used a jack shaft and a 1:2 ratio to cut the drive wheel in half and get the proper fpm. Mine never bogs down under a load and is plenty fast to remove metal. It is not made of wood and nothing to fancy but you can find a demo on my channel. I did get rid of the skate wheels and go to normal belt grinder wheels. But congrats on getting off your ass and making something. Why heat up the spade bit and draw the temper out of it? This is about where I am so far. But I intend to watch
Outstanding can't wait for the plains

Hey there, this is an awesome project, i really like to rebuiltd that one - do you have the plans by any chance?
I'd like to have building plans
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you sir! The plans will be ready soon :)
Plans? Is there a chance?
Amazing build 👏 thank you for this. I have a 1x30 and a 1x42, time to upgrade to a 2x72 😁 look forward to the plans lol

This ia great!! I have a perfectly working , yet hardly used treadmill in my garage. I would love to see the plans for this as well!!
Hi, I was really going to make the plans available but moved to a new space :) will definitely get back to it soon!
Thank you
Please i would like a set of plans. I have a tread mill and a lot of stuff to build with. Thanks
I finally found the right motor controller so I hope to finish the updated plans soon.
can you share plans?
Sr can you upload the plan please

@@tauftools Thanks for getting back to me, cant wait to see the final design.
wow.
thank you!!
Still waiting on those plans.... It's only be what, a year? :p
Great job! Any plans available?
I’m making some changes and putting a new motor, then I will post the plans. I’m glad you liked it 🙏
Are you selling detailed plans
I will post the plans for free once I’m done with the changes.
❤
I'd love some plans
I will update them to the final version and upload here for everyone.
@@tauftools I appreciate it! This video had me asking my wife how much she liked her treadmill.....
LoL! feel free to blame my video :) Luckily I found mine near a bin, unfortunately the control board didn't work hence the cheap controller I'm using.
