    Belt Grinder Radius Forming Jig:

    I just finished up this radius forming jig attachment for the belt grinder. If the part your working on has a hole, this will allow you to form a radius around it. Jig simply drops into the existing table arm allowing adjustment in/out and up/down. Can work with both the contact wheel shown or the flat platen.

    I have created an assortment of pins ranging from 1/8" to 1 inch but others can be made as needed. They are all stored on an aluminum rack for safe keeping.

    Table inward movement is done by use of the handle that rotates the table in and out. An adjustment knob can set the depth of this which is good for making repeatable parts.

    Just install the correct size pin, place part over it and rotate left and right while slowly bringing the part into the wheel. It literally takes seconds to produce a beautiful formed radius.

    In addition, the table tilts so forming a beveled radius is just as easy!
