OK since we don't have the old tools in progress sub forum I wasn't sure where I should post this one as this is not a tool yet.
it will be my next major project build.
A 6in. by 72in belt grinder with a powered counter wheel for centerless grinding / polishing function. additionally it will be able to be used either vertical or horizontal. when in the horizontal position I will have a feature by which I can use the tip roller as a notcher for tubing.
I am developing a double acting 2 or possibly 3 stage hydraulic cylinder and will need this machine to grind and polish the OD of some of the tubes as the correct sizes I need can only be bought in large quantities on special order. I can't justify spending several $1000.00 for a prototype cylinder the tubing I already purchased honed to size was already near a $1000.00
Since I have a 8 hp motor the bearings the steel and will make the time I figure I will come out ahead of the game
here are some Jpegs of the drawings I have so far. there are a lot more details I need to work out but have some of the items already machined and cut for the project.
