Quadruple Bench Grinder Setup

  • Опубліковано 5 вер 2019
  • So I'm not a big fan of Bench Grinders because I've always found them awkward to use but for some reason I have to of them anyway so I decided to optimize them into a setup I'll use more often. Putting them on top of each other creates a grinding station where you can do many different things while having a relatively small footprint on the workbench. The weight of the setup also makes it unnecessary to screw it down so it stays in place but is easy to move and position. I chose 4 different types of attachments so I can grind almost anything without switching wheels. I chose the lapping disc over a diamond wheel where you grind on the edge because these are cheaper and actually offer more surface area to grind on. I also prefer a flat surface to grind against rather than a curved wheel for most things. I mostly use use the grinder to sharpen electrodes which works great with the diamond wheel.
    Last but not least I added proper tool rests to the lower grinder.
    Thanks to the rubber feet everything stays in place and there's very little vibration.

    This might be the most useful sharpening station I've seen. One still needs to be a wire wheel, and then you only have to change when they wear out.

    This is genius... I have never even considered putting grinders above each other but this would save a lot of space in my little shop!

    Going vertical is such a great idea! Well done!

    I would love to make one of these for an OPE sharpening station, with a bench/belt combo grinder on bottom and a chainsaw chain grinder on top

    Very inventive design solution. Thanks for sharing this. I am so particular that I would be concerned about dust or particulates from one machine affecting the other, so I would devise dust shields.

    I have 4 grinders only use three and have no permanent place for them. I also really like the diamond/knife polishing disk with the table excellent and compact will do ASAP!!
    The diamond disk caught my eye because I'm building a gem shaper out of a small stationary drill press. Very impressive work yoiu do!

    This is a great idea! I have a 7" Baldor grinder with two grits of wheels and next to it a 5 or 6 inch grinder with a wire wheel and grinding wheel only used for tungsten. The smaller one might work just fine if it was a little higher. The bigger grinding jobs will be done on the 2x72 grinder that I'm just starting to build with a kit from Work/House on youtube. Great video!

    I like the vertical setup. I have seen guys in Germany do this too (with their older metabo grinders).

    I've been thinking of doing this with standard metal grinding wheels down the bottom and polishing wheels up top with extention shafts to have 4 polishing wheels, simply because if I have to swap a buffing wheel there's a 99% chance I'll loose it xD

    Slick ,enjoyed the video. may have to make one, .Right mow I have bench space for 4 grinders but I like the stand idea. Thanks

    • @PhilVandelay

      That calls for a 4-Grinder-Tower with 8 wheels :)

    On Stands, Tables, etc, if you angle the legs out 5 degrees in both directions, it makes for a VERY stable support........z

    Schleifst du damit die TIG Nadeln nicht in die Falsche richtung oder habe ich einen Denkfehler?
    Sie sollten ja senkrechte Riefen (also richtung Spitze laufend) haben und keine Seitlichen, um optimalen Argon Fluss zu garantieren.
    Freue mich über eine Antwort. Super Denkanregung für eigene Projekte hier auf deinem Kanal.
    Ich lass direkt mal ein Follow da.

      Theoretisch ja, aber meiner Erfahrung nach ist das völlig Wumpe, bzw. macht für "normale" Leute und Anwendungen so gut wie keinen Unterschied. Zudem hat diese Diamantscheibe eine relativ feine Körnung (600) im vergleich zu den üblichen Dingern auf so einem Schleifbock, ist also ohnehin ne feinere Oberfläche. Sofern du nicht irgendwelche High-End Sachen schweißt wo es aufs letzte bisschen Perfektion ankommt würd ich mir über sowas keine Gedanken machen. Man kann sogar mit erstaunlich vermackelten Elektroden noch ganz Ok schweißen

    Not to knock this effort, but this feels like a bad idea from the perspective of safety, and perhaps contaminating wheels.
