Belt Sander/Grinder ???

[Downwindtracker2]

I use a Veil 1x42 .It's more of a kit . I put a 1/4hp Baldor and a reverse switch. I use it for shaping wood working chisels and plane irons. It works for tig welding tungstens, too. And the final hone with a leather belt.. Knives get away with being duller than those two tools, after all game flesh is much softer than wood. The thing is a belt runs much cooler than even white grinding wheels, very important with high carbon steel.

Hi Guys,

That is a 550 Watt induction motor driving that belt. It is 12 mm by 230 mm. Its primary use is tool grinding. that vertical bar is 6" inches long and slides up and down to tension the belt.


This is looking from behind.
