New 2x72 Tilting Belt Grinder Prototype Design & Build

Hey Everyone, I am back with a new 2x72 Belt Grinder Prototype. I have been working on this for a few weeks now and finally finished the rough construction and wiring. So its fully functional, it just needs more welds and some tweaking.

When I approached this project I really wanted the tilting functionality along with the ability to reverse the belt direction. I use the reverse functionality for sharpening and the top platen attachment. (better to have the belt moving away from the user) - Hope you enjoy my process, my aim is to turn this into a side business making the grinders, parts and plans for sale.

Thanks again for the support I have received this far on the project. You all have been very helpful.

This video is just one of many in the series, but it is the one where I actually test the unit out. If you want the full playlist I can add that to the thread.

Enjoy!

Very nice. This is my next build. Just finished up my welding table. Which I’ll be posting to YouTube soon enough.
