My Daily Grind: Making a high quality and strong 2x72 Belt Grinder

Ғылым және технология

Here's a making of video of my 2x72 Belt grinder. This project took me a long time but I took the time to make quality parts for this very solid (85 kg!!) machine. 2KW motor, horizontal and vertical position and adjustable table. I'm sure this machine will last a long time and I'm looking forward to use this grinder for future projects. Please subscribe to see my future projects and follow me on Instagram (Bart Harkema #Bartsmetalwork) for my daily grind.

    Small suggestions: Please move the welder away from the iron dust next to the grinder. Thank you very much for the inspiration with the height-adjustable table.

    Best design i saw. Couple of sugesstions 1. Place sparks separator near down rear roller (plate close as possble to belt with 30-45 degrees to it) to turn sparks down. 2. Place main sparks "trash can". Under front down roller box with water with easy dismount. It will not holds all sparks but even if it will catch 70% of it - it makes your workshop cleaner and much easy to cleanup. Good luck and thanks. Like and Subcribe :)

    I enjoyed watching your movie. You showed a decent and very careful job: smooth welds, elements perfectly polished and sandblasted. For me, the icing on the cake are brass washers and a beautifully engraved ID plate. A very good varnish on carefully prepared metal allows to believe that your grinder will actually work for many years, as you expect. I was particularly delighted with the use of cold forging to achieve exactly 90 degrees - I buy this idea gratefully. Compliments from Poland, your grinder is very distinguished by the quality of workmanship. :)))

    Hi Bart and a good day to u. I'm a Senoir Master ASE and have fabbed race cars, race quads, custom equipment of all sorts and in my mind am an excellent fab guy. The best compliment that I can give u is that I would "trust" you to make any part I may need but was unable to do. I am currently rehabbing a spinal and SI joint fusion and would have zero fear of having u make something I need and would even be ok with u making any mods to it u may deam necessary. This is coming from a person that more often than not has scrapped parts I'm not happy with. Great work as always Bart!!!

    Beautiful design and fabrication. In one shot, you were cleaning your metal prior to welding. I saw what looked like brake cleaner in the background. I hope you're not using the brake cleaner for weld prep. I saw a story about a guy who did that and all that horrific heath problems he got from inhaling the phosgene gas created by the combination of brake cleaner and argon gas. Love the fix for the warped plate.

    @@bartharkemametalworks2299 I use mostly acetone or occasionally lacquer thinner and haven't had any problems. They both evaporate so fast that I go thru a lot, but switching over to one of those chemical squeeze bottles and applying to a rag instead of the metal helped consumption quite a bit. I was shocked when I saw that story. I use brake cleaner and I weld; just by chance I never combined the two. The poor guy had all kinds of side effects - I want to say vision loss, kidney failure and on and on. I'm going to see if I can find a link to that story and try to post it here for you and your other subscribers (I subbed after this video). Your fabrication really is outstanding.
