DIY 2 x 72 belt grinder part 1 

Hey U H

Alex Rodríguez ggf

Jesse Myers I couldn’t find the best suited size for the best fit either. That’s why I had to weld the plates on the side of the smaller tube and mill it down to a precise fit. The only option which I didn’t do because of price is to use cold rolled steel which will allow more precise fitment. Hope this helps

A lot of people use angle welded around the tube with shims made from pop cans. After the set screws are tightened there is no play in the sliding mechanism as the set screws push the inner tube away from one side of the outer tube. If your unhappy with the corner radius a 4 1/2 inch grinder will take care of that. There is zero chance you will be able to get every side to contact each other and still be able to slide the inner tube. That's just an impossibility. You will also develop a deformed side on the inner tubes from the set screws. And yes your table will stay true with the set screws tightened. The welding will warp the table far more than any small movement possible from the tube fit. Steel plate is not perfectly flat brand new either right. Not trying to give you a hard time but maybe a bit of mechanical knowledge before taking on a project like this would be helpfull.

cflinger1979 thanks buddy! I just got a chance to work on it again tonight. Runs like a champ! Next video should be out this weekend. Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks! Sharpie SD™ 20° Fixed Grind Angle which i purchased from Arc-Zone.

Hey Jim, I used a Screen door closing spring that i bought from Home Depot. Works pretty well. I found it in the Hardware section.

delvecchio1971 it’s the Snap on welding workstation KRBC60T.

Phantom Beast I bet you didn't get a reply I find that the presenters that don't talk don't reply to questions

@@davidendres7808 after looking at the comments after I posted it, I didn't expect an answer.

Why would anyone with a Snap on vice, a milling machine, tig weld a 2x72 belt sander made of 2.5" tube? Seems more like show and tell.

I made this loosely following the DCknives drawings (dcknives.blogspot.com/p/2-x-72-belt-grinder.html?_sm_au_=iQV27tsZj6vZTk5V) and i apologize for not responding sooner. I never received a notification that you commented.

@@davidendres7808I have replied to most.

I am sorry I do not. Check out DCknives blog. His is how I designed mine.

Ged Reilly the cutting and grinding never end!!😉

Alessandro Melis I used hot rolled carbon steel for the entire project. Hot rolled needs a little more prep work. But I didn’t mind since cold rolled is more money and hard to find in the sizes I needed. Also stainless would work if you wanted to.

@@christopherfall9307 thank you so much. Do you think that simple iron could be good as steel?

Alessandro Melis Yes. Should work fine. Just make sure you are able to bevel the edges and get a good filet weld or else it could be brittle.

Killber Amazuki it specifically said lasts 50x longer for use on metal! But they lied

It’s the type I am most comfortable with.

Thank you. I chose to TIG weld since i am most comfortable with that process.

Просто у него есть аргон. И еще фрезер. И еще куча магнитных уголков для сварки.

@@Михаил21-ь8л И куча нашего времени. Название ролика про гриндер, а я 20 минут из 24х смотрю на сварщика, причем далеко не высшего уровня.

They make metal cutting blades that look like tile cutting blades. I was hesitant to try them at 1st but they work great and last a lot longer than abrasive disk.

Nathan Woolhouse thanks so much. The plans I used are loosely based from dcknives.blogspot.com/p/2-x-72-belt-grinder.html?m=1. They seemed to be the most simple ones I found.

No. Lenox garbage “metal cutting”.

@@christopherfall9307 sorry!!

Only the label is expensive, teh rest id maybe 50 bucks. I have the very same vise made by another company and it cost me 50 bucks. Those should be YORK vises, the company that made the Wilton models prior Wilton existed.

Wild Weasel what brand is your vise?

Peter Coppock Gracias!

I made this loosely following the DCknives drawings (dcknives.blogspot.com/p/2-x-72-belt-grinder.html?_sm_au_=iQV27tsZj6vZTk5V) Make it! It works really good.

Brandon Spence you are absolutely right. I am so used to welding stainless that I forgot to grind the scale off. Big oops on my part. Hopefully you didn’t get hurt too bad!

mallaki it’s a Miller Maxstar 210 tig/stick

Sharpie SD™ 20° Fixed Grind Angle which i purchased from Arc-Zone.

I thought i was seeing things when i saw that,LOL

I was shocked when he used it haha

You know they make diamond blades for cutting steel, don’t you?

Google DC knives & 2x72 belt grinder for materials and cut sheets.

Да я электродом красивей варю

Не ты один такой.

👌👌👌✌👍

Luis Torres I apologize for offending you master. Please forgive my bad tig welds.

Chris Fall 😂

Ged Reilly the welding is the best part!😉

scotty362100 damn. I guess I should quit my day job and do this full time?

Thanks for subscribing. I guess i owe you a beer?

Kazy Kamakaze it could be stupid. But I just got it, and I wanted to put it through its paces.

You come here to watch this and comment on his usage of tools? If you have cordless tools and aren't hindered by having to move them, plug them in and so forth why bother? Stop trolling! If you're not providing constructive criticism find another video to watch. He clearly put this up here to give others ideas, of course I bet you've built a lot of DIY projects that people can go watch and I also bet you've done them flawlessly. Just plain dumb to critique someone on why they should use a corded power tool.

Guess that’s why everyone uses corded drills in their shops to....... just saying.

jhmitc bingo! Truth spoken. Some people live and breath to criticize others ideas as internally they get the “superiority rush”. They suffer from low self esteem and it’s a cheap way to try and build it.
