Almost Finished with 2" x 72" Belt Grinder Build
This was a kit supplied by Brian House that included the plans, a few metal brackets, and some hardware. I furnished the square tubing and did the necessary machine work and welding. I used a 2 HP Baldor 3 phase motor and a KBAC VFD.
I would guess that I have about 20 hours in the project, spread out over a week. As soon as the wheels and belts arrive I will be in business.

Plywood Shroud for 2x72 Grinder
I threw together a plywood cover for the grinder, which I hope will partially contain the debris and soften the noise a bit. It lifts off in seconds for belt changes, etc.
Motor is a TEFC unit so I don't think it will be affected as long as there is plenty of air circulation around it. Cover should also provide some protection in case a belt disintegrates.
