Belt Grinder 2x72" and 50x2000 mm

[Boyan Silyavski]

Hi guys,
Now, whats that with the metal these days? Still have not finished my CNC as i have no free time, but already designing and making my metal belt grinder

I must be in my "heavy metal" period again, which i thought was long gone.

So after analyzing all on the market and most of the DIY plans, i decided to designe it from scratch but based on the successful designs.


-First decision was that it will accept standard metric and imperial belts at the same time - 2x75" and 50x2000mm. No need for wider belts.

-It will be overbuild. I hate vibrations from machines. if you know me you will be no surpised that it will be OTT. Come on, only 20 kilos more but a lot better. That 20-30 euro more in a project that will make me spend 400euro, so yeah..

-It will be a precision grinder. No surprise here also. All from calibrated cold drawn steel bars and plates / as they are the same price as the normal /, massive arms and steel shoulder screws for tightening the bearings and wheels.

- tilting 90 degrees. Thats a detail. Not that i intend tilting it but spending so much money i decided it should do all.


At a later time will start updating the build with pictures and more details. For now some snips of the design.
