Ok so I’m grinding away, go to change belts and my exhaust snatched and digested a 36 grit belt in one second, crazy fast

I went this route,it fits snug I cant tighten it. I keep it horizontal works fine for now.

What I did was on my drive wheel on the grinder I had enough shaft from the motor sticking out to mount a disk. My grinder also goes horizontal. (Ill post a pic tomorrow

Well I didnt pull the trigger on that junk. I just saw this but I think its to big, but damn the price is right if it works https://delaware.craigslist.org/tls/d/tapmatic-90x-reversible/6478959681.html

Is this a deal I should pass on? I keep looking at this scrap thinking I could use it. Any ideas?? https://delaware.craigslist.org/tls/d/tool-steel1-each-old-pipe/6429908147.html

I have regular full speed 1725RPM wired with a directional switch, beveled disc with medium tack spray I glued a cork backing on. I have to be very careful, I grind from the spine down now, because I had an edge from a large blade dig in and snatch from my hands @ mach 3 and left a huge gash in...

Nice work. I think if you post the BB code in the link the pics will auto show

Ill have to see if I can find round magnets, that may work easier

Ken ever since you posted this my wheels have been turning. Could I accomplish the chuck without a mill somehow? I have been busting out 80hr work weeks. I have been in ZOMBIE mode for some time. Im also collecting materials for this attempt I just dont have the time right now. Excellent build.

OK great thank Ill post before and after this week

Im about finished on this stabilized burl handle, I was hoping to sand past the imperfections (voids) and how big it to big to repair. My other question is, what are my options? or best ones, super glue? Ill post some pics later tonight. Thanks

Awesome job, I still need to build a forge before I get there. Love the guard handle transition

I hung up my jigs, Got some good practice in, Flat grinding seems to be my challenge though, but I feel I can move on. I have a hand rub finish started here. Im also testing how to post these pic better.

I struggle with the whole design thing, that is why I copy (start with) big company blade designs then I modify from there. Creating something eye catching, comfortable, useful is no EZ feat. I think its why some makers work hard to find a design that works then thats all they make, just varying...

Im saving for a used SG, I was toying with the idea of fabricating one like Travis's as discussed on this forum.Dont know if Im up for the headache with not having a mill. Great advice.

I almost pulled the trigger on the TW90 a few years ago, the tooling arm soured it for me even though people say its fine for performance. I tackled building my own with features I wanted from other grinders. Im no welder or machinist. It wasn't brain surgery, most of it was hot rolled with...
