2x72 BELT GRINDER CHASSIS for knife making. Created entirely on cnc machines, hand fitted & assembled.
BEWARE OF A WANNABE GRINDER MAKER ON EBAY WHO IS POSTING FALSE REVIEWS FOR HIS PRODUCT, HE'S HAVING HIS BUDDY WRITE STORIES ABOUT HOW GOOD HIS RUBBISH PRODUCTS ARE. EASY WAY TO SPOT A FAKE REVIEW IS WHEN IT SAYS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE REVIEW THAT THE PURCHASE IS
NO
T VERIFIED, THAT MEANS THAT THE PERSON DID ACTUALLY NOT BUY THE PRODUCT.
ALSO BEWARE OF IMITATORS WHO ARE COPYING OUR PRODUCT, THEY CHARGE MORE MONEY BUT THEIR PRODUCT IS INFERIOR, READ BELOW & CAREFULLY COMPARE:
1/4" thick Aluminum side plates secured with stainless-steel bolts
1/2" thick Aluminum base plate
Industrial satin black powder coating on the side plates & base of this one. Super durable!
1.5"x1.5" solid aluminum tooling arm, the accepted standard for knife making grinders
(DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY on grinders that use smaller diameter arms that seriously restrict the use of different accessories, or larger diameter arms like 1.6"x1.6" are almost impossible to find & are expensive)
1/2" solid aluminum D-backing plate with deep reach for slack belt grinding. The copycat offsets the D-plate form the tooling arm with ridiculous plastic spacers, think VIBRATION! (The D-plate needs to flush up against the tooling arm). Why do they have to space their D-plate away from the tooling arm? Read next point!
Our Tracking hinge mechanism is STEEL on STEEL, heavy duty, unbreakable, lasts forever: our copycat competitor manufactures a bulky hinge out of ALUMINUM... terrible idea, aluminum hinges wear out rapidly in harsh grinding environments. His hinge is also so big that all the wheels have to be spaced way away from the chassis (see point above).
Steel, formed L-bracket to hold platen.
1/4" thick steel platen, 2" wide & 8" long
Metal clamping knobs. Our competitior taps the aluminum side plates for the clamping bolts which is TERRIBLE engineering that will never last, the hard clamping bolts will rapidly wear out the tapped holes, our clamping knobs go through steel bungs.
Metal tracking knob & 1/2" STEEL tension arm.
CNC turned aluminum idler wheels, 2" diameter, 2-14" wide
CNC turned aluminum tracking wheel, 3" diameter, 2-1/4" wide (be weary of folk trying to pitch 4" diameter tracking wheels, they track WORSE than 3" & are much heavier so they soak up energy)
Gas strut for belt tensioning, because it's 2017, not 1917, springs are terrible on belt grinders
Bearings on tension arm
Accepts a wide variety of motors (NOT INCLUDED) & drive wheels (NOT INCLUDED)
