Awesome! You are correct. The one you have is not made in America. However, we will have our own American made option available within a couple months and we will keep the price very close to that of the import. We are in the process of making the rubber and aluminum casting tools right now. Thanks for mentioning us in the video!
Thank you! I'll be looking forward to getting my hands on one of those.
I will be buying several of your wheels when they become available. Will they come with Timken bearings or other USA made bearings? Thank you in advance!!
Jeff Conti Hi Jeff, we are talking with our bearing supplier. He says none of the American companies actually make their small ball bearings in America anymore, but he would still get us a price on Timken and Nachi bearings. How do you feel about Japanese bearings?
At this point anything except Chinese. Lol. Seriously. The Japanese probably do very well. I would wounded of the Germans make bearings? The quest is for high quality. I make custom and handmade knives. My customers spend quite a bit of money. I do too... on my tools.
There also exist high quality bearings from Sweden, company's name is SKF - almost entirely the only brand used in all of Iceland and we make a lot of our own machinery here (or well, used to, until imports became more readily available).
Before buying this sander I would use a rotary sander ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx3Pc2vLXfcgM5oIpF1iYcIWyFhHUC-G6v and didn't see the need for a belt sander. Boy was I wrong. this belt sander does the job quickly and gives a professional finish to the wood work.
This is my first visit to your video. Retired Electronics Technician for 30 years. Woodworking has been a life passion. Now I find myself making things to make things. Getting more and more metal working tools than I thought I would ever use.
I think that you are a good teacher of your Craft. I was teaching algebra and trigonometry at 17, in the Navy. Knowledge is power, keep it up. And sell these on EBAY.
I'm not crazy about welding, or grinders, or metalwork in general.
I watch for your genius.
And your way of teaching.
And humor.
👌✌️
Your first sentence is pure blasphemy!!!! lol
Jeremy, You are the bomb! While most people your age are out playing around, you are designing, fabricating & selling plans for useful machinery and attachments.
Fine work, keep it up!
I really like the way you explain things so someone like me with very little metal knowledge can easily understand what you're doing. .I learn so much from watching your video.You inspired me to learn more in this field ,so I enrolled in a welding and machine Tech class at the local JC. Awesome video again! Thanks for sharing.👍👍
What's up Mike?
Hooray! Things done with pure reason, deep thought, and not by kludging around looking for some lucky accident for success. Granted, building one of your machines would not be cheap but certainly built with true function, versatility, and reliability in mind. MY kind of machine. Thank you, Jeremy.
Thanks, I'm glad you like it!
Very nice design and construction, long term thinking, practicality and modularity. Great job.
As a knife maker myself I am overly impressed with your belt grinder build and all the attachment tools you have made for it. Very well done.
Thanks!
I really appreciate your sense of humor! Also, great job and clearly explained, as always.
it is not often you come across a you tube video of a product build that is so detailed anyone could build it just off the video, no plans needed, as a welder and mfg for over 50 years making everything i ever built from a plan in my head, you did a hel of a great job, showing just about every detail, everyone else is so into making sure there video is not over 12 min.. now i ask what can one learn in 12 min,,, other then how to build a bomb...
Everything about this belt grinder is superb and this attachment is no exception. Your radius attachment is especially a work of art. Thanks for the videos Jeremy, they are much appreciated.
Oh no! you're even catching some of Matthais' mannerisms! Dude, great job on the wheel, keep up the awesome content! For what it's worth, you have one of the few YT channels that don't have anything that annoys me. No lame music, no annoying voice or weird (...er than necessary to be fun)facial expressions, decent video quality, properly explained and not trying to sell anything too much. Kudos!
Thank you, glad to hear that!
As a practical engineer, sir, you have no peer! Your work is poetry!
It’s always nice to have a free shop full of professional tools and plenty of perfect scrap metal at your disposal as well as an ample amount of time growing up around tradesmen with a vast knowledge of metal working for you to learn from to “build-your-own” “homemade” sander isn’t it? I guess if I had had all the above I too could build my very own “homemade” belt sander too.
Sorry to hear you haven't tried...
Nice adaptation Jeremy. The large radius wheel makes a big difference. Keep the good videos coming. Thanks.
Jeremy you are without a doubt the most consistently amazing content creator on this platform. Keep up the good work!
You are made of the same stuff GOOD TEACHERS AND PROFESSORS should be made of.
May GOD bless you for your sense of humor and ingenuity...!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And here i though i had found all the awesome wood/metalworking channels... Super happy to have stumbled across you, entertaining & educational!
This has been a great series of videos on your belt grinder. Super smart design
I seriously dont comment on vidoes to often... but this is one of the best belt grinder and work stand ive ever seen.
Thank you!
Best grinder on YT ever created. Honestly.
Jeremy, also, glad you're not making this into a knifemaking channel as there are definitely enough of those out there. Keep doing what you do!
Your way of thinking and explanation of such keeps me coming back. Your channel kicks ass.
Lives up to your usual high standard in every respect.
I really enjoy your videos. It is nice to see someone thinking in three dimensions when designing a tool or an object. It saves so much time not having to tweak and fix weak points towards the end of the project. Great Job!
I have become an instant fan of yours. First i watched you build your belt grinder, than a few of the attachments. I am absolutely impressed!
Well done Jeremy. I admire your patriotism and desire to use American products. In the UK, to my shame we have largely lost our manufacturing. If the western world bought the products we make ourselves then our economies would be much the richer for it. Well done on a multitude of levels .
You are getting more and more of a "ThisOldTony" vibe to your videos :D
Great project, and well explained as always
Yup. Agreed. Old soul, young heart.
As always, a great video. I always finde myself hooked to your kind of presentation. Informative, to the point, yet entertaining. To me at least. Kinda digging your style is what I am trying to say here. Plus I admire the craftsmanship that goes into your projects. Two thumbs up!
Best Regards, Daniel
Thanks Daniel!
I dont do stuff myself, I just love watching your videos and your knowledge spreading through my body like a desease. Keep it up!
DUDE! You're my hero. Your design is so well thought out and built.
Excellent video and process. Also, the timing on the humor is perfect. I just purchased a belt sander that needs repairs and adjusting. Your solution to the tracking and adjustability gave me an idea that will solve my tracking and adjustability problem. I was just checking out a great video with excellent workmanship sprinkled with humor and, "There it is". Much success and Bless you...
You are an excellent instructor, Mr. Schmidt.
YES! Always a good day when Jer shows up in the Subs feed :)
If you made more grinder videos. I would not complain. Looking forward to other videos too.
I really admire your ability to explain relatively complex processes easily enough so that anyone can understand them.
Thanks Jeremy.
I really enjoy your channel.

Sometimes I spend way too long pacing the shop trying to figure out how to word something so it makes sense; I'm glad to hear that's not a waste of time! Thanks!
fantastic video - I love your balance of engineering, practicality and fabrication.
Hey, Jeremy. You do fantastic work.
I’m in the process of building my belt grinder based on your drawings. Thank you for making the plans available to the public!
I think you should start making knives. I find it to be an unbelievably satisfying hobby.
Keep up the good work!
You have so much talent Mr. Jeremy.
Inspirational as always J. This old man loves your work.
You sir are an amazing engineer! Thank you for helping with the part I just could not wrap my head around. Your shirt says it all!
Love your builds! Looks like another add-on could be some kind of tray under the belt to catch the grind particles so it doesn't spray them all over the nice cabinet and drawers. :)
pretty ingenious on the radius attachment. i saw somewhere about epoxying a ceramic tile on the platen, cuts down on drag thus heat. thanks for sharing your build, inspiring!
Usually the material used on platens if you want low friction is fireplace glass (Pyrex). I have some, just haven’t got around to making a platen to hold it.
So nice watching you do good stuff. Also really good narration throughout the video. Neat adjustment system as well. I thought of something different first,but that's working great. Man I also want to build a machine again...hopefully I can find the time again. Watching you gives motivation at least. Thanks Jer!
Glad to hear I'm motivating someone; thank you!
@@Jer_Schmidt Do you by any chance sell this entire grinder as a kit?
@@mcshawnboy
No, sorry.
You actually can use a 12" wheel on there. With sites like Econoway or Combat abrasives, you can special order 2x80 or 2x82 belts. That should free you up for a 12" wheel.
Jeremy, you are a good presenter as well, I don't know if you have scripted the video, but anyway, the way you present the video is just great, you should be a teacher or so. Thank you very nice video!
Thank you! I don’t script any of it.
Fantastic! I hope this grows into something much bigger for you Jeremy! Excellent design thinking!
I thoroughly enjoy your vids not only for the quality of the video and composition but also the content. That grinder is fantastic. I have never made a knife or welded but I started putting notes together. I may give it a try thanks to your series on the grinder. Again.....excellent job!
Your sander is the nicest one out their. The one's sold that are real expensive have chatter and I notice your has none noticeable as the others belts shake around when on. Very nice.
Thanks Jer, your great at explaining the process, I appreciate your videos 👍
This is Suwon in Korea.
I think I'll be fascinated by you.
I would like to keep a good video
Simple yet genius solutions and your way to do things properly is so satisfying! Good work!
I love this entire design
Jeremy, you are a certified genius and it is a pleasure watching you work!
I absolutely love that Americans are back to building! Keep it up!
Great Job! Jeremy, you're becoming a real craftsman/fabricator/welder.
Watched too many of your videos. Bought the plans , well done lots of cool features!!!
It's a polyurethane wheel very similar to what's used on some forklifts. There is an adhesive sprayed on the metal then the polyurethane is poured around the wheel and heat cured in an oven, then trimmed on a lathe. Superior tire and rubber is a company that I've worked for that would custom make a wheel like this or already have something very similar as a stock item (not in-stock, just a BOM exists)
Your dedication to strive for perfection is admirable. That tractor looks like it wants to play in the dirt? Enjoyable video! "w.w."
Excellent video, I love the editing and seeing your thought process on design and make up. Thank you.
I also wanted to state that you have nothing to worry about your welds it will hold. One more thing try making a straight razor with that wheel. You will find that it's very satisfying making a deep hollow grind. It has to be so thin on the edge that it flexes with your finger nail and not break. I loved making one. I did have one to take the dimension down but was awsome to make
There are some really smart ideas here, again, as always. It's always a pleasure to see you building things.
This belt grinder is state of the art
I will never make this grinder as I have no welding skills, but love to watch your methods and thought process.
Gday From West Australia 😊
Nice rig you made😊
With my wshop packed into storage watching you build this grinder from scratch has helped my sanity😊
Why you ask simple at least I can watch someone scratch build even if I can't. Gotta keep the mind active somehow😊 Have a great day😊
😊
I love how much effort you put in making your videos! Thank you for sharing! Cheers 🍻
This is my favorite grinder build I’ve seen you really are s freaking genius
Every video is always a high quality treat, very cool.
Love your work, and the occasional humor.
Cracking build as always.... i watched your belt grinder stand build the other day... with all the effort you put into it i thought you might of built a guard and tray that clips on to the front to stop all that grinding dust getting on your nice unit!
You are a very impressive young man i have faith in the future now
gerald chaplin ditto
You just keep getting better and better!
I am looking forward to see how you approach the challenge of building an attachment for interchangeable wheels like 1", 1.5", 2" etc. this is a very important part of my knife making so this will be great!!
That's in the works. The attachment should be able to take wheels from 1/4" to 2" diameter, and have a feature or two that I think will really handy. Coming soon.
I love how you used the grinder to make an attachment for the grinder :)
Your a very competent person. Awesome build. Thanks for making it easy to build along with
15:31 You have perfected the "Matthias Double-Take", wherein one looks at the camera, adjusts something, looks back at the camera as if to silently say "See/hear that?", and repeats this 3-4x in a row. :-D
Just an FYI, there are a number of USA based contact wheel manufactures, though price will increase significantly, without an equivalent increase of performance (in my opinion). Contact Rubber Corporation is very good, especially for custom applications. Beaumont Metal Works make their own wheels, though I think the vulcanizing may be contracted out, and Bader makes wheels as well, just to name a few.
Nice work on the attachment by the way.
I haven't been able to find anywhere that says any of those brands are made in the US? None of them publish the country of origin on their official websites. Can you give me a link to somewhere that actually says where they're made?
www.contactrubber.com/about.asp lists where their manufacturing facility is located, though they do have affilations worldwide, their main production is in the midwest US.
contactrubber.com/PDF/CRC_Brochure.pdf lists their wheels as "Made in USA".
From Beumont Metal Works' homepage: We design, engineer, and manufacture all of our products in house and can proudly state “Made in the USA”.
They used to have some vids showing their contact wheel hubs being made. I'm not sure about the rubber, though it may be in house, it's definitely US rubber. As for Bader, I've been told by other knifemakers that they make their own wheels as well, though I don't see it explicitly stated on their web page. SunRay, Inc is another poly contact wheel maker that I'm nearly positive is a sole US manufacturer, based out of North Carolina.
I really enjoyed watching your video. So much so that I subscribed to your channel. I think that your desire to strive for perfection in everything you do is awesome. Precision is an art form all its own. Thank you for being so informative about your process.
Very concise explanation. I really like your composition and editing styles.
My question is why are you not in engineering school, your ability with detail and precision is outstanding. That is a outstanding grinder. good job with it and the video.
very nice build and as ussual a great video,always a pleasure to watch and time flies when i’m watching ,you sir are a alround entertainer en master builder!
Love the radius jig!
Sheldon on big bang hes a brain like you ,you have a gift that i wish i had
Figured that's who you were probably talking about. Maybe that's why I like that show so much ;-) Thanks!
great job explaining your thought process. even though you didn't really have to because its your design
you guys watch this dude in the future he will do awesome things!!
one of the best grinders on youtube
Jeremy I am impressed with your skills.
Absolutely enjoy your videos. From the content to the camera placement. You need your show. .... correction..... We need you to have your own show.
I wonder if Walter Sorrells watches your videos. Great to see a new video Jeremy! Cheers, Chris.
Superb video and your craftsmanship is a pleasure to see.
My friends and I say hand skills have been lost to youth. You’ve proved us wrong,
I think your design is perfect
I do love how you thought things through... I like to draws things out in AutoCAD or Inventor... makes it easier to find mistakes before the project begins... KUDOS to you! Awesome!
Your grinder and attachments are a sight to behold. I would love the opportunity to operate it. I have watched and enjoyed every video. Well done to you.
Alright so I am thoroughly impressed, boy now you got me thinking about getting into metalworking too (already doing woodworking and leatherworking). Damn you for making it look so cool!
Outstanding video, as always! An oxygen acetylene gas torch weld may be your answer to your bar weld.
Really nice as usual. It must weigh like 600 lbs. I can't believe how quiet it is. I think Wintergatan is subscribed to you, or features your channel
I did buy the plans for your machine. I've been making knives for over 40 years and this is a really great machine. Please provide plans for the contact wheel as you did for the machine. thank you!!!
Great job on the attachment. I sure appreciate your attention to detail.
