Before buying this sander I would use a rotary sander kzread.infoUgkx3Pc2vLXfcgM5oIpF1iYcIWyFhHUC-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.

Dear Brian, when tapping by hand, you should relieve the pressure on your tap by regularly turning in reverse for say ¼ turn every 2 full turns. You can feel the swarf breaking off when you reverse turn. Despite doing hundreds of threads I have never snapped a tap. I like your design, much simpler than other iterations of this machine. Thanks for sharing.

Sty Frosy my friend and hope to put up some content of my build here on the "tubes" YOU SIR... Are the man. Thank You!

Brian great job all the way around.! The printed templates, printed instructions along with this video made for a very successful build. I will add that you really need to buy the $10 HF tap and die kit as the need to continue tapping thru both sides of the tracking mechanism is crucial. My expensive taps wouldn’t allow that to happen. Anyone with reservations about this unit, rest assured that it is a beast once done right.

Brian, the way you use the minor errors that occurred in your build process to educate the viewer is exceptional! We'll all run into these things and having you walk us through how you resolved those issues are a tremendous help. At least for me it is. As someone who's taught others for over 30 years, I can give you high props for the depth of your communication/education of those who will purchase your product. So, many thanks for using your minor errors to help us through the build process. I'm not quite ready yet but I've been watching you since you began. Thank you for your dedication to this project. And, you're right, these grinders will be used in many ways, maybe the least of which may be Knife building. I use grinders often in my shop in designing several products I'm bringing to market as well. Your's is, without question, THE best 2 x 72" Grinder on ALL sources I've looked for guidance, and the kit, great job on that. Laser cutting is probably your biggest cost but I'm betting it's been well worth it for all. It definitely will be for me!!

Just put my first belt on the revolution 2x72, tracked really good within first 5 min of adjustment, as a fabricator this build was awesome, great plans and instructions, thanks brian for taking the time to develop this sweet machine!!!!

Fantastic! I do suggest at steps "body assy to hinges and base". a wood spacer in place to help hold hinge rounds square helps a lot, also used wood spacers for the risers to keep them evenly spaced, once assembly and is welded up they come off easy.

For those of us with Gen 3 setups, can you please sell just the new D-plate and work rest parts? I’d consider upgrading for the right price, likely leading towards a 2nd full build over time.

No you should make sure your wheels have a spacer between the bearings. If not then those will burn up pretty quick. The cheap wheels don't have that. Otherwise loosen the axle bolts slightly and lube the bearings.

It would be nice if you described the bolts you use for each part. Other than the page in your plans (page 52) I don't see any references. For example when you attach the two feet to the D-plate what size bolts and washers did you use? Just think it would help a lot if you talk about each bolt you use for each hole in detail as several bolts can go in a few different places. Enjoy doing the build so far.

On the work rest, would it not be easier to extend the articulate arm so the arm fits the entire side of the square tube instead of just a butt weld on the face?

When mounting the base hinges to the main motor plate why not add a compression spring between the inner hinges to hold them against the shims rather than try to juggle a clamp on them - it can be removed after.
