Building a 2x72 Belt Grinder From A Kit 

Hey, Thanks!! It is a great machine. Great instructions and excellent service from you guys too. I think your forge is the next item on my wish list.

Glad I could help!

Thanks! Hope you get a solution that works for you. Having a 2x72 grinder is making metal working faster and easier so far.

@@TwistedWorkshop77 I bet!

Thanks for checking out the video! This may be a long response to your question but…. I haven’t used the vector grinder so i can’t compare the 2 but I was having the same thoughts you are before i bought the kit I have. I do have a vevor vacuum pump that came to me damaged. I contacted vevor and they said sorry but they couldn’t give me a replacement and to contact the third party supplier I bought it from (Amazon). I eventually complained enough that they did send me a replacement but it was a lot of trouble and 3 additional weeks to get a working unit. As for the grinders and price, the base kit is under 800 bucks. The motor and VFD are another 350 so $1150 total. It’s not much more than the Vevor grinder. I’ve been adding attachments and now starting to make accessories for my grinder but I didn’t have to spend that money up front to get grinding. For most of my life, I bought the cheap version of things and regretted it and in most cases ended up getting the better one anyway. Now days I’m in the buy once, cry once camp ( although I did like the Ameriprise grinder and set up but $4k is over the line for how much I will use the grinder). I don’t regret the revolution kit at all! I have used the horizontal feature twice in the last 2 months. It is in that orientation now. I’m making some hand plane irons and the sides need to be perfectly straight. The horizontal orientation seems to work well for that kind of work. I hope this helps but let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck!

@TwistedWorkshop77 thank you so much I think I will get to ordering
