    If you need deflector wheels with crush sleeves, our 2" rubber contact wheels are now made by us, right here in California and they're on sale for $35 each.

    I do very little metalwork, but even so I find your projects, craftsmanship, and style absolutely captivating. You are clearly brilliant and I can't help feeling that some commercial industry is somehow missing out on your talents and skills. From the comments below it's also great to see you're such an inspiration across the age range. Nice work as always.

    Jeremy, the work you do is meticulous and amazing. Until I watched your videos on your 2' X 72" belt grinder I had no idea how useful one could be and also had no idea I need and want one. Not only do you do excellent quality work in the building process but you also are outstanding at explaining and narrating the build process. Thank you for your great work!

    You did something in this video that I always love watching Matthias Wandel's big build videos - using the unfinished tool to build another part for itself before the tool itself is actually complete. Great stuff! I've never been into metal working, but now I think I'm going to have to build one of these when I have a shop someday because it just looks so damn handy.

    highly functional belt grinder. this new addition is not only stylish, but also incredibly well built imo. so precise - its nice how the beltsander helped create a new addition for itself. I really think you should consider creating a refinded model of this so that i can be produced on a larger scale. The belt grinder and all of their addons would make a fantastic addition to any woodworking shop or machinist shop. great stuff Jeremy, you must feel accomplished :D

    Your design and workmanship are beyond compare, BUT, what I am envious of is your patience while designing these projects. I mean really, I believe you said it took 2 years to design to belt grinder before starting!! I would have blown into the build and then had to work out all the problems... 2 seconds of design and 2 years to fix all the problems!!
    Keep posting the great videos and projects

    For anyone who has done compound angle preps for tube welding...

    With a removable, adjustable fence on that adjustable angle work rest any angle of prep would be simple and repeatable.
    That alone would make your grinder worthwhile!

      @MatthewSkars 6 років тому +6

      You have probably already thought about this and decided against it, but I'd like to share my point of view on the matter as a part of your general audience.
      For your less finalised ideas, you could try experimenting with another format.
      For example, instead of a long, (generally) ≤ 20 minute video with fully fleshed out ideas, a format where you experiment with one or several new ideas and compress the content into a ≤ 5 minute "bite-sized" video might be more suitable (such as the "Super precise measurements with your phone!" video).
      As your audience (yes, I am boldly speaking for the majority), we want to see all of the ideas you have, even if you believe they're not worthy of a full ≤ 20 min video. Which is why these "bite-sized" videos, where you share your ideas, would help satiate your viewer's hunger for more content by filling in the gap between the regular "fleshed out" videos.

    I would say you should go into business manufacturing them but I also believe the guards and safety devices OSHA would make you attache for an industrial setting would greatly reduce the versatility and effectiveness of the grinder.

If you ever want your VFD's potentiometer remotely mounted or would like fairly repeatable speed settings I would suggest a multiturn pot from Bourns. A 10 turn wirewound would work great. I was going to ask how the balance is for transitioning the 90°? Lastly I have option 4 to add to your list that includes notching the bench, you can always reorient the motor 180° if it offered an improvement with the balance. A cheap shock absorber as a damper is a worthwhile touch if unlocking the clamp could be dangerous. Just thinking... again. Take care.

      I'm fine with how it's weighted. I usually stand on the right side of the machine when tilting it, and it's very manageable from there. I have tried unlocking it and letting it flop over under its own weight, and while I wouldn't want to do that every day, it's not too violent.

It's hardly worth it for large wheels but pouring 2 part polyurethane with aluminium hub would be a cool video. Polyurethane is available in small volume now and I've poured many suspension bushings and made a few profiled rollers too. You can choose the cured density etc and I've always machine finish to size. Coffee cup molds just aren't what they used to be. Best if luck.

    Great photography and editing. I love your videos and I can't wait to see what you can do when you get a mill.
