Weed farms. Three wheelers. And dogs. That's probably what you gonna see here.

Beginning of the purple banshee build.
Have you had any issue with the tracking adjustment? I also wonder if those that had burned up motors were running it at full tilt for an hour straight? Seems to me very few things can handle 100% usage for long periods. Most motors need to be ran at no more than 75-80% IMO.
Where did you get the 8670 steel? Cost?
They are running a sale til the end of the year for $299. What did you pay and how much did you put into it with changes? Thanks.
Good fuckin' review, thank you.
you know this man means business when he's smoking a cig while reviewing it
@chubbykid8 despite how calm I may appear in the video I hate being on camera and hearing my own voice. What you can't see in the background is the jar of shine I had a few sips of to calm the nerves. And of course the cigarette. 🤣
@@westcoastlifestyle5916 that's funny :D great video btw i think I'm gonna get the grizzly so i can start making some knifes. this video confirmed my decision.
@chubbykid8 if it's within your budget it's a solid choice. Now if a 2x72 is in your budget. Then I would go that route. Simply because if you don't end up doing knifes long term. The resale value of a 2x72 is pretty damn good. And on the flip side. If you do end up wanting to continue the hobby. You all ready have a top tier machine.
@@westcoastlifestyle5916 that is true, sadly i don't have the budget for that right now and i just need something that will get me to be able to design and build my own knives and tools to keep or sell until i can get a 2x72. as of right now I'm stuck with hand filing and i cant keep doing that forever. i will definitely upgrade if i decide to keep with this hobby or even a use this as a little side hustle. again thank you for the video.
Would you sale a grizzly/shop fox 2x72 for this 2x42?
@@honeygirlsapiary no. Unless your goal is space saving.
@ thank you!
So, how did this grinder hold up? it's been 10 months since your review. Are you still satisfied with it's performance?
@SmorgusBorg still going strong. I use it daily.
Did you just use a 1/4-10 tap for the platen? Mind sharing the tap and bolts you used?
@@davesizemore21 honestly just used some random hardware I had laying around. I can't remember what I used. But a metric fine thread would be my recommendation.
Been using mine for a few months....so far quite happy with it and no problems.
I am an old retired Army SFC its nice to run across someone that talks the way I do!
@steveduke8588 I was in the army for 8 year myself. I just call it like it is. Thank you.
This dude is great. Laughing my ass off.
@daweaver5 thank you. I just wanted to make a straight up honest review because I felt alot of other where pretty bias. Glad I was able to make it entertaining.
Seen a different video where motor started smoking and faulted out,,, have you had any issues? Should I buy one?
Good review. I picked up one back in January. First thing I did was swap out that platen, it was rough. The rest is the next thing on my list. Sure beats a 1x30
Podrías poner enlaces de compra a los productos por favor, gracias
Please put a link for the small wheel attachment.
Thanks for the video, I bought mine after watching, you’re a straight shooter. Being new, I have some 1095 steel from Amazon, would that work for a replacement platen after being heat treated? After a month how’s the motor working for you? (I won’t get mine until Feb/March.)
@drey4184 hey buddy. I apologize for the extremely late reply. I didn't receive any notifications about comments so I'm just now stumbling upon everyone's questions. 1095 will certainly be better than the factory platen. For a more permanent solution I would want something with a better weather resistance. However no matter what they are made of they will wear over time and need replaced.
Got my grinder running properly and made a work rest for it. Still trying to find someone to make me a steel platen for it. I dont have the tools to make it perfectly flat.
You can hollow grind with an 8 inch wheel on small edc type knives. Just a somewhat aggressive Saber grind is all.
How's it holding up under normal use? Motor not burned out yet?
@OldHickoryForge still going strong.
Good video, quite helpful and encouraging. I ordered a Grizzly 2x42 but it is back ordered until Feb 2024. What thickness 8670 did you use for your platen? Would 5/32 be thick enough? Also did you make your platen 2" wide like the belt? My concern is getting good plunge lines for the bevel grinding. On my cheap HF 1x30 the tracking allows for one side to get the belt on the edge of the platen, but it won't go far enough over on the other side so that makes getting one plunge line look good. Hopefully the tracking on the Grizzly allows for getting the belt to run on or slightly over each side of the platen.
I believe I used 3/16. But i will probably us 1/4 or something on the next one. I made it 2 inch wide also so I could hang the belt over. With a thick Platen plate you can get nice plunge lines for sure.
I know people are having mixed results with the motor but so far I've done a ton of grinding on it and haven't found an issue.
I just couldn't watch this video his filthy mouth I lost interest right at the beginning
How's it holding up?
That can also be used to sharpen as well?
yes
Does it lose a lot of torque at low speed?
It definitely has enough torque at low speed to still use it. I haven't had it stop or booge down hardly at all.
@@westcoastlifestyle5916 Thanks for the quick reply.
Have you thought about jamming a bigger pin in the hinge to tighten it up? And downside to that?
The platen is way to thin and is not squared to the rollers. The adjusting roller does not seem to have a crown on it so adjusting is probably a bit touchy. The motor is seriously under powered. Upgrade the platen and mounting brackets and it looks like a decent grinder. I bought a Beaumont and have not looked back since. I wonder what the expected life is for the Grizzly with heavy use? I have a Grizzly mill and lathe, they are excellent products once you go through them and dial them in. Forge On!!!
My Platen was square to the wheels. And I added a thicker platen. All wheels have a crown except the drive wheel. So far so good on the motor. It has more than enough power. I haven't bogged it down and you certainly can't stop it. You can go by just the horsepower rating alone in determining the actual torque of the motor. They aren't all the same.
Can you post a link for your small wheel attachment
Wow you got a good one. Im having major tracking issues. Electrical tape has helped a little. But not where your is thays for sure
I'm not gonna lie. When I saw how much play the cheap hinge had in it I was concerned it was going to have a lot of tracking issues.
Making these units into independent / dedicated stations and freeing up other machines ia exactly why i got one of these.
You are the first person I’ve seen not cut that handle. I’ve been commenting on those other videos telling them about that little trick. And also people are just bearing down on those things bogging the motor which is probably a factor of the motor quitting. Mine bogs down but I am running it on an extension cord. All in all I like the thing perfect for an entry level piece of equipment.
Its been driving me insane seeing everyone's big complaints being the locking handles and how they had to cut them down. Knock on wood the motor has performed great for me.
Depends on what you have at the moment
Could you do a vid on making the platen.
The Platen is pretty simple. I just cut a piece of blade steel the size of the Platen. Drilled and tapped 2 bolt holes in it and then heat treated the steel and left it at quenched hardness.
I will make a short video explaining it.
@@westcoastlifestyle5916 I use 8670 also for knives. So far I use 1/8 or 5/32 thickness. Would the 5/32 be thick enough for a platen?
@@westcoastlifestyle5916 That's great. My order for this unit is back ordered until Feb 2024 so I have time to make a platen.
What thickness 8670 is best to use.
From what i heard the motors were buring out pretty fast. On top of that the shipping is just to much.
If 60 bucks is to much on shipping don't look at price for a 2x72.
Haha! You Said It...! Shipping nowadays cost nearly as much as the "Item"...!@@westcoastlifestyle5916
The motor issues I've yet to have. I've made probably 5 or 6 knifes with it now And it's still going strong. Hopefully it was just a bad batch of motors.
the best review I have seen , I bought one haven't set it up yet. People realize what this is entry level for hobbyist , to test the waters to see if you want to move up to a 2x72 which would probably cost $2500-3000, which would need a 220volt outlet which I don't have.This seems very capable of doing the job. Thanks for the review.
Your welcome. I didn't end up covering everything I intended to but I hope it explained the majority of people's questions.
I don't have 1,000 bucks so I'm definately picking up a Grizzly 2x42. I know It will have to be modified but oh well.
I does require some modifications but not a lot. And for the price it works really well. I'm very happy with it.
Where Is this trail?
This was in southern Oregon. Cascade mountain trails.
