Belt grinder table holder (old design) 

There's something so satisfying about watching the tool make the tool for the tool

Without doubt the finest 2'' X 72'' belt grinder design I have ever seen. Many thanks for sharing.

Great job! I love that you explain why you're doing things and what the outcome should be.

Love it! Great video, and congratulations on your belt grinder. That is one of the most elegant, and beautifully functional and simple, designs I have seen in a long time.

man, everytime you release a video I feel compelled to rewatch all your previous videos! you are awesome, Jer! exceptional work once again!!!!

Ciao Jeremy please come back. We all miss your videos. You are a Number 1. Ciao

Well done Jeremy, that machine keeps getting better and better.

I'll never make one but I really enjoy watching and listening to you build it. Excellently designed and built.

Great engineering. I always look forward to your new videos. Worth waiting for every time.

Your scientific approach for welding is always somewhat satisfying!

I really like the interchangability you built into the machine. I must say I have grinder envy for sure.

it was so nice to see some more content from you Jeremy, thank you for your contribution

You could make you angle cutting platen to fit your existing arm for the standard table also you can make it over 45 deg. . You have done a very wonderful job on it and the belt grinder. You have the patients of Job LOL

Thanks Jeremy. I was about to get all the parts profile cut on Monday. So can now add the table parts. Awesome

This project just keeps getting better! thanks for posting!

ANCORA UNA VOLTA, LAVORO IMPECCABILE. BELLISSIMO VIDEO, MOLTO CHIARO NELLE SPIEGAZIONI.- 10++

Awesome work Jeremy!! I'm going to get my first welder and begin welding soon. You inspired me to do so. Your videos alway have a lot of good info in them. Thanks Bro.

Amazing craftsmanship as usual. Love it!

Love your built. You are trying to apply learned knowledge to your project, and that is good. Next time you make another tool rest plate, try to put a thin shim that you would place between the fabricating table and your tool rest plate, right under where you will weld the receiver tube. Clamp the plate to the work table at its edges. It will compensate for the thermal cupping of your work piece. Its like a preload for the steel contraction under heat. Keep up the good work and have fun on you upcoming projects! Thank you for sharing.

out of all the 2x72 homemade belt grinders yours is by far the best and i took inspiration from yours well inspiration basically copied it with some modification well its more mirrored actually since i'm left handed

You are awesome and I love your videos. I wish you were near to where I live as it would be neat to hangout, talk shop and build things.

Nice work. That looks like a great tool.

Well done sir! A very nice upgrade!

Absolutely stunning, Jeremy! Wish I had the space to do this kind of work.

Awesome... looking forward to the next attachment. ;)

I wish I could just write you a check for this grinder. I barely have time to makes knives as it is, certianly no time to build this excellent machine! Thanks for sharing, very nice video and design!

Me agrada tu manera de trabajo, de hecho tu herramienta y tu trabajo son una obra de arte. no pares eres una inspiracion para los demas.

As always a Fantastic video. The plans are awesome. Can’t wait to finish mine. From Australia

You and your brother do very nice work. Well done!!

The world's best belt grinder just got even better! Absolutely amazing.. you must be pumped about embarking in another metalworking project now!

Absolutely Love it! Making one for my grinder asap!

Nice work, enjoyed hearing your thought process along the way

Love the project and the video.

maaaaaaan anothergreat episode! appreciate all the work with the tolerances and design choices! awesome!!

excellent, you're a genius! It's so hard, you make it easy! Greetings from Baires

Awesome job as usual Jeremy! 👍🏻

Completely awesome as always Jer!

THIS IS THE ULTIMATE BELT SANDER, I NEED ONE OF THESE

You've done a fine job with that belt grinder. When the "old heads" are impressed enough to use your design, that's saying something.

You do great work!! Jim

Another success. Well done.

Awesome work! 👍👊

this guys has a talent that i wish to inherit... being so prepared before had that so few things go wrong that you hardly need to redo anything.

Great work on the attachment/ table

great work, I really think your work is awesome, keep them coming 👍

HEY miss seeing your videos! Belt grinder looks great!!

those porta-cools are the most magical thing ever

Very impressive Jeremy.

I love the fact that you over build the hack out of that thing 👍

truly well done

Nice video and nice grinder! Well done!

Nice work!

This must be the best belt grinder ever made on youtube or dare I say, made by anyone anywhere.

I was just about to fall asleep and then I saw that you uploaded the video.. Been missing this content so much, thanks for bringing it back! And just as a side note, I'm living on a apartment and don't think I will have a metal shop anytime soon... Still loving your videos and the effort you put on them! Keep it up

Fantastic video, as usual!

You are a very good teacher !

Well done mate.

Time to buy a vertical mill to take your game to the next level. Great job and nice to see that youtake pride in their work. Now time to build a stand.

As always, impressive!

Mr. Schmidt, you're something else. I'm going to sub to your channel.

Great video, Jeremy! Thank you!

You really can't stop the warp, but you can counteract it with applying some heat to the opposite side of your weld. I welded precision machine parts and had flat tolerances as bad as +-.004. To bad I wasn't there to teach you some cool welding tips. Was a welder for over 40 years.

Hey been a long since ive seen one of your videos! Thanks always great a to z !

Buen trabajo amigo!! Saludos desde Uruguay

Really like your videos...well done!

great job, when I researched belt grinders from just about everyone on the tube I found the BG-75 European design the best most adaptable design, yours is the type I would build as it must be adaptable and upgradeable and easy enough to make as I don't have access to industrial machines, one design I would include is the drive pulley be belt driven on a separate shaft so as to be able to change speeds.

Sweet job.

This is the best 2x72 yet

Youve got mad skills son. I feel inadequate now.... If youre not a mechanical engineer - you should be looking into it.

Has to be the most over designed belt grinder in existence however as a learning tool it has no doubt been a great journey giving you the opportunity to develop your skills and confidence in a number of areas. I hate to think what the material costs were and your man-hours but hey look at it as a awesome project. Great sander, presentation and narration. Keep it up.

Meus parabéns, melhor lixadeira de cinta já vista, gostaria de ter uma assim, com tanta funcionalidade... Gratidão por compartilhar conosco.

Awsome job...

Try rubbing some bar soap on the steel bar when you are welding up tubes for them. May help you remove the bar after the welds cool.

This was very entertaining

nice job

A suggestion: if you want to make the top surface of the table flat again after welding it to the square tube, you could chuck the tube up in the lathe and take a skin cut off the top surface of the table. Makes it perpendicular to the tube as well.

fantastic ! , I just wish you'd make more videos

looks like a a quality tool you could buy

Your accent is so funky cool, some times i can hear some German, then there's some Aussie, then some North American. :)) The entire grinder is really nicely built, i like the fact that there's no bs about what ifs in it. Just built to last and keep shape. You can't buy stuff like this anymore, and there used to be a time when you could, so, as the line went, necessity is the mother of invention.

Hey, I found you from the Crafted Podcast, awesome stuff! I wish I found your account sooner!

Very good

я восхищаюсь вашей работой .молодец

Great video, thank you. keep it up.

As usual, really awesome! But we miss woodworking vids :( Hello from Russia :3

Excellent Videos. Great Instruction without all the fuss. Any chance you are going to make some content about Metal work? I would love to know more about beginning to work and weld metal. Welding type, working with metal stock, what to purchase ? Just a thought. I know these take a lot of time to make and edit and its greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Jeremy. You are the best I love your work. Coming from st. Maarten. I am trying to bill one of those.

You should teach in a university. Your explanations are so crisp and clear and you really know what it's all about !

Very good!!! muito bom!!!

So good

You always amaze and inspire me with your knowledge and talents. Thanks so much for sharing. Welding is something I've always wanted to do, although I'm a woodworker at heart. Welding just seems like such a handy skill to have. I'd appreciate your recommendation on a welder; I want one that has the welding stuff (the name is escaping me, sorry) coming out of the welder. Thanks for any input you can give me.

Great Video. I would recommend you add a locking washer to the two 5/16" bolts.

Sorry jez but your videos are brill very interesting an informative an very very well built

Hi Jeremy: Lovely belt grinder and I definitely would like to make a clone of yours one day. You had a problem with chatter from the flexing table and fixed it by reducing the effective length of the supporting plate. I was wondering if you have a slip plate at the back of the belt on the vertical plate? You see this shiny material on the foot of a portable belt sander and it is designed to allow slip by reducing friction on the backside of the belt. This means that as you press hard to grind, energy is not going in to trying to stop your belt from moving around its track and wearing out the backside of the belt. As for the chatter: Steel is not fixed and rigid, but rather a super-cooled liquid. Glass is the same and if you look at aged glass held vertically as in a window pane, the bottom of the pane is thicker and distorted as the glass has "flowed" down over the years. Steel does not flow like that but it is still a super cooled liquid. When I am using my turret mill, with the arm extended forward to reach over a wide access to the cutting surface, chatter increases and this is a chunk of cast iron 300 mm X 300 mm in overall dimensions. One way to give rigidity to structures but to reduce mass is to adopt a trabecular structure - much like the way long bones are made up. Here, a fine meshwork of spicules of bone pointing in all directions are joined to give a lightweight super strong structure. Tables that are cast have a webbed structure to give rigidity but reduce mass. So, if you made a fresh table with thinner top pate but a webbed underneath, your chatter would go and your reach could be maintained. That's about enough chatter for one day!

very nice 👍

Great job, I'm in for a farm tour as well

Jeremy, I forgot to ask you on the original build... are different sized rollers possible for different applications? BTW- yours is by a long ways the smartest DIY Belt grinder I've ever seen!

Muito boa essa lixadeira de cinta, tô precisando de uma.

Almost done mine. I had two cut offs of the Tubed flat bar from my grinder. Just removing the rust from the piece of 1/2" plate I'll be using for a table top in a tub of vinegar michaelcthulhu style before I get the parts all welded together! I Think once i'm done, I'm going to take the tabletop with the post welded to it to a local machine shop and have it machined flat again. It's old and a bit rust pitted to start...

Hi, your video is awsome, I want a nelt grinder like yours, tell me a thing, what is the tickness of the metal plate, that you use for built your machine?.. Greetings from Ecuador

I love it also.
