Building my first belt grinder.
Burton Builds
S04E06
I finally got around to building my first belt grinder. The goal was to build it from scrap lying around the workshop, and spending as little as possible on buying parts. It also needed to be compact (because my workshop is so small) and convenient to move outside for heavy use.
My Dad gave me an old pool pump motor (thanks Dad). It needed a new set of bearings, new start / run capacitor and a basic clean up. It's a single phase, 2 pole, 750w, 1hp, 2850rpm motor.
The drive wheel on the motor is 200mm diameter, which equates to around 30m/s or 6000 surface ft/min of belt speed. The top wheel is 80mm diameter.
Its amazing what you can come up with on a super small budget and a bit of scrap... and help from some awesome friends. In total, this cost me around R530 (around $36 USD) for both wheels, new bearings and capacitor (excluding the belt).
At the moment, it has enough power for basic grinding but in the future, I would like to build a 3 inch grinder with 3hp motor. Maybe one day when my workshop is bigger.
