Building a 2x72" Belt Grinder

- It is time to upgrade my 2x72" belt grinder. I built my original belt grinder 2 years ago and never really finished it off properly and it's bugged me ever since. Didn't paint it, didn't take adequate protection of the VFD. The original motor was a second hand cheapy (1HP) which was also under powered and bogged down fairly easily.
I had a spare VFD ready to go so I bought a new 3HP motor to match. I also wanted an external control box system so that I could turn the belt grinder on/off and also control speed without having to touch the VFD and expose to dust and particles.
I hope you enjoy! It was very satisfying to rebuild this grinder and upgrade it significantly! - Jak na to + styl
Wonderful upgrade for an already awesome machine!! I plan on building one soon. Great job!
This channel and primative technology are my happy places. No talking, no bullshit, just the simple joy of watching someone make or restore somthing. Its good for the soul.
Very well shot! I love this style of presentation. It's hard to find good stuff like this. Keep going.
+Stranger Robinson thanks for watching and the feedback! I will endeavor to keep making videos :)
WOW, absolutely brilliant work. Everything in my shop is blue, when I saw that big blue beauty of a motor coming out of the box, I was in love. You have truly inspired me and I will do my best to make my own belt grinder. Thanks for sharing your skills.
A seasoned maker with correct use of tools and wiring methods. Bravo.
What a beautiful machine you made man. Looks perfect in every aspect! Well done! :)
+Black Beard Projects thanks mate! I reckon it'll do the job just fine :)
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot the password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Casey Tatum Instablaster :)
@Hayes Jamie Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Hayes Jamie It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my account!
it was a real pleasure to watch your video, Mr Matthews.......thank you for sharing.....very well planned and executed.
I love how you measure every little point before execution.
OMG, your talent is outstanding! I love watching you do these videos.
Literally didn't take my eyes off the screen for the entire video!!! Awesome build! Thanks for sharing. Subscribed 👍
That's impressive. I literally can't even get my eyes to touch the screen. My nose gets in the way.
I watch these videos of yours to relax and soothe my OCD while I drink a beer and smile. Really!
What an excellent piece of engineering sir! Your work was more than enjoyed.
Great video Will. Plenty of inspiration for when I get around to building one. Thanks for sharing this :)
Wow!!! "Respect brother" that is a friggen awesome custom linisher. I've always wanted a dial up speed control on some of my different purposed bench grinders. You have taken it to a new level with your set up. You have very talented fingers mate, a force not to be wreckon with. Keep up the great work.
This guys a frickin genius. Perfect technique and no short cuts
IMPRESSIVE build Will, it has got to be a very good video to hold my attention, you my friend have me hooked on your builds!!! Doesn't matter if it's an hour long, ima watchin til the end. EXCELLENT JOB, MY Friend!!! Keep up the great work!!! 👍👍👍😃.
+Gerald Bellotte thanks for watching and the great feedback!
very impressed, talent and patience you have. thanks for sharing.
Good electrical skills and practice. Great job.
Thank you for all the great tips!! Great job!!
Man.. is there anything you CAN'T build with your own two hands? You're talented as hell dude.
You're so clever, you can do everything. I rarely seeing video like this without forward speed.
that belt runs really smooth. good work
Man that demo on the angle makes me miss my belt grinder. Bang-up job
Oh yeah the beast is eating that angle like butter. Thanks for watching!
Very impressive. Nicely done!
+HPB1980 thanks for watching!

+morkovija thanks!

Good video. Very thorough.
Nice work! Looks like a top notch setup.
Enjoyed the video, nice work
Love your work man - always great .
Well done man. Excellent work.
What a nice bit of machinery :) well done mate!
Excellent machine! Great work
Thanks mate
Great build. I like the idea of using wood components along with the metal to save on cost and it probably dampens vibration some but also adds to the look of the unit. Nicely done.
Thanks for sharing.
I've just come across your channel and I'm addicted. Great work and we'll edited.
I subscribed after just seeing your rebuild video of the Canadien 270 chainsaw (I have two OLD Pioneer chainsaws that I want to rebuild... Bought them just outside Toronto at an auction). I thought you did great work on that, but this is a work of art. Very inspiring. Keep up the excellent work and I hope to see many more videos from you!
So jealous of your workshop haha! You've got some awesome tools.
Perfect accurate high class job.
Bro, impressive work with wonderful attention to detail (loved the visual contrast of the. black deck with the blue struts.)
Seriously, it -was inspirational: I wanted to get up and do things.
I wish I could make one of these the craftsmanship is amazing.
Impressive power! Very well done.
+nanafalke thanks! Yes I am very pleased with the power output!
Lovely job Will. Good on ya mate.

it lacks a small recuperator for sparks and iron filings and it will be perfect
Thank you for sharing
Epic!! Nice work
Bloody brilliant Will👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love building those control boxes. Don't know why, somehow I just love to power stuff up with my own configuration. Nice work bud.
very good work! greetings from Argentina
Love the build & the fact that u took the time to protect the VFD, I've really been enjoying the video's that you've been posting. But did anyone else see the face in the motor when he had it on the bench at 1:29 lol 👀😁
The better ever seen on CZcams !! Great job
Impressive.... Top work
awesome job, i am just starting to build one, its the controller wiring i will have problems with. you made it look easy.
fantastic craftsmanship..and i bet the hardware store knows you real well!
+iamrichrocker haha thanks for watching mate :)
за 5 минут сделал его
Very very good!!!
I love your work man
That was awesome!!!
Very nice!
Nice work, and great color! I plan to make one of these out of a treadmill I got for free off craigslist. It has the speed control, motor and ever the steel! I'm going to use a little outside of the treadmill itself as possible.
Nice job
Well done good job.
Top stuff mate from a fellow Aussie
and another
Sscustoms Subbed to you channel mate
Very good !
Gorgeous hands
It looks like it could set your boots on fire! Nice job and great video.
Well done dude. Thanks for sharing. I love it all but the wooden drive wheel makes it all the sweeter.
Thanks Craig - yeah I like integrating metal and wood into a project. I'm not real flash at metal working or wood working so have to compromise somewhere and make them work together! Cheers
Next level play!
Next episode Will builds a space shuttle! Amazing work Will!
Way too talented.
Makes me sick.
Need you to come to Scotland and build me my man shed.
Well done that man.
Excellent!!!
