OK folks, there hasn’t been a grinder tutorial for sometime now, whenever I post one of mine up they get a lot of interest so thought I would show you how to make one of these It’s basically a KMG clone uses 1600 to 2000 x 50 belts and the great thing about these machines is there adaptability
It’s very simple to have a platen grinding head, contact wheel or small wheel attachment A general overview of the construction is, all welded main frame, sliding type tool arm lockable with a single fastener, single knob tracking system with variable spring tension, main drive pulley is 100mm Dia x 55mm wide Tracking pulley is 80 mm Dia ‘crowned’ x 55mm wide platen rollers 45mm Dia x 50mm wide
This will be run with a 2hp motor and three speed drive
For those of you that have seen one of these in
