Made up a 2 X 72 inch belt grinder for a knife project my daughter wanted to do during a visit.
She had a set of five blades that she wanted to finish to kitchen knives.
It was made from plans purchased from the USA Knife Maker folks. Their plans were for a total bolt together design that I modified to welded joints where it made sense to me.
Their design is on a 30 inch square base. It works great but I will modify the arrangement and build a mobile base for it so I am not loosing a whole bench to storing it.
Although built for knife making, it has supplanted almost all of the grinding wheel use.
