Solid upgrade, Jer! And it's great to see you again :)
oh look, anglegrinder virtuoso here :) that looks like a project for you
Thanks John! You deserve at least a little credit (blame?) for getting me into belt grinders... ;-)
@@Jer_Schmidt are you still useing the old belt grinder?
@@amy-suemarden8960
No I sold that one. This one is also for sale, but I have a second Gen 2 that I’m keeping for myself.
@@Jer_Schmidt oh cool thank you so much for responding
Everytime people asking for my BG plans i say "try Jer's version, its much better"
Still one of the best of the best design.
Welcome back buddy!
@Ca Lem You and Jeremy are in the same innovative class. Love both of your work and approach to projects. Kudos to you both!!
Wow thank you!!
you also top mechanic im so impress of your job..
@@Jer_SchmidtDo you sell these grinders
This guys a genius. I showed this video to my brother, he’s a professor of mechanical engineering, he said he couldn’t have designed it any better. I’m a hobbyist metal mangler and feel even I could be successful at this build. I’m ordering plans.
can you share plans with me?
Good to see you again! I'm an old, retired Industrial Design Engineer and am truly impressed and inspired by your designs! There is an artistic flare that I appreciate and always tried to impart into my own work "back in the day". You truly have a gift! I hope to see more of your art!
YES!!! AND two videos in one day. We've missed you, brother!
Nice to have you back again.

Don’t tell my wife, but seeing you post again is the happiest day of my life.
Sorry i did tell her
Yeah, it gives me much more orgasmic pleasure...😂
😂😂
I'm amazed at how many improvements you've made, Jeremy! And the plans are fantastic! Bravo! I like how you include the full size templates in their own section of the plans. Generation 1 had them mixed with assembly drawings.
I just found your channel and I have to say you have left no stone unturned on that build.It’s an awesome belt sander and your content is so helpful to those that will be building it.
You are such an amazing and talented person and have created a great channel thanks
for sharing
Love to see this iterative process, and all the small upgrades, & The plans are brilliant!
You should commission Jeremy to create a companion document for the Marble Machine X. Everybody loves Lego-Style instructions.
Thank you!! 🙏

@@Jer_Schmidt how can contact you regarding the the cnc plans because it is not in the plans I bought the other day
Glad to see you again Jeremy!!
Now we know what he's been doing since his wooden pocket sheath video almost 2 years ago.
Yep !
I understand that you're a good engineer and that you put heart, understanding and knowledge beyond what most other engineers do in this build. I must say this is ... overall brilliant. Well done !!!
Before buying this sander I would use a rotary sander czcams.com/users/postUgkx3Pc2vLXfcgM5oIpF1iYcIWyFhHUC-G6v and didn't see the need for a belt sander. Boy was I wrong. this belt sander does the job quickly and gives a professional finish to the wood work.
Yep, no question, its a good day when Jer is back in the house!!!! And now Gen 2 - BAM!! Dude you left a void in meaningful and interesting content, glad you are back................ I hope all is well with you and your world.
I don't own any metal working tools and don't plan to ever make this grinder, but I just sat through a 49 minute video and loved it! Glad to see you back creating again Jeremy.
Same, who needs cable tv!
If you do not have metal working tools, then you are a filthy wood elf. Try to go higher on the hierarchy of materials. Carbohydrate foam is at the bottom.
@@tallswede80 This grinder would happily eat dead tree carcass as well! While I love long hard pieces of dead plants, it was great to move into building with material that doesn't change shape just because the weather changes a little.
same
@@tallswede80 what a blind assumption that people without metal working tools would have wood working tools. What if they had a sewing machine?
The attention to detail and the fact that you explain why you design the parts in a certain way, makes this the number one belt grinder video on youtube. Your grinder is a masterpiece!!
Excellent stuff - I've taught myself some carpentry in the last few years and you've convinced me it's now time for me to teach myself to weld! Inspiring stuff - great design, great video. Thank you!
Same attention to detail on the project, project plans, and video editing. Always glad to see you again!
Look who's back!
And you improved the mother of all grinders.
Didn't even notice when 50 minutes passed, and i have a bonus vid. Thank you!
Hi Jer, I just finished building the Gen 2 belt grinder and want to commend you on the great video and plans that I purchased from you. Your attention to detail in the diagrams and descriptions made it possible for a complete welding amateur like me succeed in building a kick ass belt grinder. Thank you!
Do you know what your cost was?
First time I've seen this. Man, what a beautiful design and tool. I would use the hell out of it! Nothing like building a bunch of something and getting a lot of feedback in addition to your own experiences actually using it to make a bunch of worthwhile improvements!
No way! I was really starting to worry about you. Nice that you are back
Traduci in italiano
Couldn’t have been happier to see a Jeremy video in my notifications!
This thing looks fantastic. Very well thought out. I'm impressed. Probably one of the best looking tool builds I've seen.
Awesome work man!! I was already blown away with your design & build on version I, amazingly impressed with the further refinements you’ve designed & built into version II. 👍👍
Nice to have you back! “If you can’t make it perfect, at least make it adjustable!”
My favorite quote from Jeremy! I need that on a T-shirt! :-)
@@ToddMcMahon That’s a great idea! Jeremy needs some merch to sell!
~Martin of Wintergatan when building the Marble Machine X
All the time 😂
@@---Michael--- you should post a link for anyone that has not seen the marble machine. It’s remarkable and should appeal to the kind of people that would watch this channel!
Where in the pluperfect hallelujah have you been you genius laden young man? Huh? LOL
We have missed you kind Sir. You are always one of the greatest. Oh indeed yes. Your grinder is the best no doubt. Good to see you again dear man.
Absolutely Beautiful, really love all the consideration you put into it from all of our comments. Really love the greater simplicity for building it.
Well just bought the plan today, HUGE thanks for the effort you put into making a metric version! I was hoping for just that during the very long months without a single new video from you, and you totally delivered 💪😁
I WANT TO BUY THIS PLAN, CAN YOU HELP ME ON HOW TO BUY THANKS.
After a year or so of absence, you knock your audience completely by uploading this. Omg, it is such a professional editing, interesting content and entertaining and lovely touch. Hope you come frequent here again. I would love also short clips from your day to day workshop experiences, just to learn more from you 🤩
Thanks Jeremy, I couldn't get my first grinder to track right. I've converted all to metric myself. Is now laying in pieces for over a year. This inspires me to start right from scratch. It looks much simpler and it will be fun to build.
Great improvement, very cool to see you again! Thank you so much.
Genius. I have no desire to make this nor to use one especially but I still enjoyed seeing the amazingly clever way you have learned from previous experience and beautifully engineered a quality solution. If I ever change my mind, I'll get one of your machines!
nice design, and good to see you back
good to see you back friend, thanks for your contribution.
Videos of him helped and motivated many people around the world.
thanks for your contribution.
***You are a really a hell of a design engineer*** You knocked this way out of the ballpark! I can't imagine what you will come up with in another 10 or 20 years!
I have ordered and reconstructed your plan of the belt grinder gen 2 . I used a 1 phase motor with 1 speed 2800 rpm with a reversing switch. The machine was easy to build thanks to your expert explanation. Thank you Jeremey and greetings from Belgium in Europe. John
I don't expect you to read this Jeremy, but the time and effort you put into this video is impressive. I appreciate your decision to include small pointers which may be obvious to someone with a lot of experience, but could send someone astray without that experience. I know from personal experience writing documentation just how much additional time that requires. To me your video is an intersection of the following channels Rainfall Projects, Mechanical Lumber, Made in Poland, Make it Extreme and Practical Engineering. I look forward to whatever you decide to post next, thank you.
All I can say is WOW! I sat mesmerised through the entire video. Although I know I will never build such a beast in my lifetime mainly because I haven't the skills in welding and metal fabrication you show, I still very much appreciate the knowledge and expertise you've demonstrated. What an achievement. And what a contribution to the collective by offering these plans and assembly instructions. Kudos!
I've just bought the plans Jer (and the add-ons) - and they are excellent. You've put a lot of work into them, and they are worth every penny. I really appreciate that you took the time to do a metric version which is a metric design from the ground up, not done as a converted afterthought. 👍
Thank you, glad you like them!!
Great design Jeremy, and a very useful tool that each metalworker should have! I will buy your plans!
This thing is so awesome, and you've really upped your game in welding and ways to set up alignment and spacing of the parts to weld, that I just watched this a second time!
What an improvement to the Gen 1 machine!!
Congratulations man!!
What a pleasant surprise to see a video from you again, I bought your plans as a show of support. I've found every video you make to be both educational and hugely entertaining, you are definitely an incredibly talented young man.
Shuch a nice comment!
Bonjour ou trouver c est plan merci.
I watched your original build a few years ago but never tried to do it but now thanks for the metric plans I bought them and have almost finished the grinder.
Great design, easy to read and understand instructions and awesome video to see how you did it. Thanks heaps you rock 🤘🏼
Thank you!! Once it’s done let me know if there’s anything you dislike about the design or plans; I’m always trying to improve.
So glad this came up in my feed again! I'm enjoying watching your care and attention to detail and process. You are a very talented individual, and I hope you are engaged in something that you find meaningful and enjoyable.
I already bought a prefab grinder because your old one, while awesome, did seem complicated. However, my current table has too many limitations. So I’m buying the plans and can hopefully build this version soon. Amazing work!
Hi Jeremy, it's so great to see you again, I'm so happy to see you doing the things you are absolutely brilliant at! This sander is absolutely mind blowing!! You are such a hugely talented and intelligent person. The things you build blow me away and fill me with inspiration.
I know you have come through a very tough time and having experienced it myself I know exactly how hard it can be. Above all, I truly wish you the very best health going forward no matter what you decide to do. Take care.🙂
the best fabrication videos i've seen on youtube or anywhere else. you are excellent at being very clear with your expalantion and process of the video. you are a excellent teacher. thank you for all your help. simply amazing.
(Followup) I completed the grinder, found the plans to be excellent throughout the build, and I am very happy with the resulting grinder. Thanks again Jer - I know we've been in contact about this, but I forgot to add it to this thread, to hopefully encourage anyone that's on-the-fence about proceeding with the build. For anyone that wants to see my build, I've made a video of the process. Cheers 👍
Thank you! And for anyone who wants to watch Craig’s version of this build, I’ll post the link since my channel won’t get marked as spam: czcams.com/video/mRlDBfHnCko/video.html (it’s a really great build and video)
@@Jer_Schmidt Thanks Jer - very kind 👍
@craigsworkshop
I was just curious what the ball park costs was for this build. I’m really thinking about buying his plans
@@FEEDbigJAKE Hi Jake. It cost me a little over 800 AUD. But it would probably not cost exactly the same for you. I had some aluminium in stock, and a motor, and about 1/4 of the steel, which saved me some money. Although, I spent money on a radius cutter, motor bearings, paint for the motor, and other little things, that most folks would not need to buy. Included in my total is the cost of the plans and the extra steel for the accessories that Jer offers too (which I have not yet made). Thanks, Craig
Very happy to see you doing your thing again Jeremy! A little older, wiser, calm and cool...very well done. I look forward to more videos if that is the direction you are taking. Maybe a personal update if you would like to share as you have before. You have an innovative mind that is creative, practical and just the right touch of humility which is hard to find these days. Great to have you back again!!
After being away so long, having you back on the channel is like Luke Skywalker's first scene in return of the Jedi. Same guy, next level skills.
Good to see you back on here.
RELEVANT
You’re truly are a genius! Your constant tweaking makes your designs absolutely perfect!
I built a grinder that was inspired by your first video. The only thing it really shared in the end, was that it was very heavy and grey. I must get your metric plans, because your design is pure genius! You are an amazingly talented engineer.
Great to see you again, I hope you've been well! I've missed you and your content.
I love watching these long format builds, complete with the machining noises. It's pure joy to watch :D
Hey, hope you're feeling better and more motivated with whatever you want to accomplish!
I've just spent the last couple of months building this grinder, ( i have taken my time, a little here and there) The plans/instructions are really good and if i was unsure of anything i would simply watch this video for clarification. I have had some trouble keeping things square, even with meticulous setting up my welding would often cause some distortion, I think due to the fact im using Arc rather than a MIG welder. These were only minor but i really liked that these distortions were easily rectified with shims and the grinder is now tracking really well.
Jeremy is really responsive to e mails, i had a query about using slightly different gauge metal and he responded within hours with some useful info. I would definitely recommend having a go at this build i ummed and arred for a while but have really enjoyed the whole process.
This is my third time watching through the build and I'm enjoying it very much! Very clever and something I would be proud to own (and probably better than something I could buy). Well done and thank you for making the plans available! :)
I was really happy to see another upload from you! I usually have zero interest in belt grinders and stuff like that, but you're just so good at explaining and making things interesting. It probably doesnt hurt that you seem like a great guy too! Your updated design seems superb and was an eye-opener for me regarding tools/machining. Greetings from Norway!
Man I don’t care what you’re working on.....I’m always glad to see you putting out some videos, or even knowing you’re working on projects off camera. Don’t let the stress and dread of making content effect your creativity and work. If you want to do a project and not make a video about it… Then by God your happiness is more important than putting out content! I can’t imagine having to drag out camera equipment every time I wanted to work on a project. That would seriously keep me out of my workshop, and I don’t want to see that happen to any creator.
I enjoy your thought process and how you problem solve, While bringing in new ideas to all of your projects and going above and beyond in your engineering and design. You’re constantly pushing the envelope and doing something new and different with timeless old designs. The belt sander is a wonderful example, the handmade machined pen is another great example, ....but my favorite is the wooden pocket sheath for your ruler. That was an incredible project to see so many design iterations and a ridiculous amount of thought in each and every detail. From the clean out of dust in the ruler pocket, to the bending of the metal clip, and the curve put into the body to friction hold the ruler. Just incredible! I’ve watched that video over a dozen times. That’s a great example of how to bring new thought to an old idea, which is what I’m constantly trying to do in my shop and in my business.
I left a comment for you several weeks ago regarding stress and Depression and a few other things you had mentioned previously… And it seems like things are headed in a better direction for you mentally and I hope you continue The hard task of learning how to enjoy the process of problem-solving.
Whether or not you decide to share that with us isn’t a big deal… What’s important is that you figure out a way to enjoy what you’re doing…and hopefully that makes life on this shit-hole earth a bit less miserable and you can find a few random hours of peace and quiet in your mind.
Rock on brother!
Dude, you're my hero! I have looked forever and a day for plans as good as these. To tell you the truth half as good would have been great. VERY much appreciated.
This is simply the best-done instructional video I've ever seen. At the start, I was like "There's no way I could ever do that." By the end I was thinking "Hey, I can totally build that!"
This is fantastic! Such care in design and functionality is phenomenal! Great design!
I’ve been looking forward to your return!
Got these plans 2 years ago. Built one and now use it all the time.Excellent tool.
I sincerely admire! A well-thought-out structure, precisely indicated construction details, paying attention to more difficult aspects. However, it is made in such a way that the whole thing seems to be child's play - this is the brilliance of these solutions.
Grinder planned and made with such a huge reserve of resilience and resistance that it can withstand any load for generations of users - a machine that can't be worn off!
I was so tempted to by this a while back. I’m kinda glad that life got in the way. Gen 2 is a nice refinement over the Gen 1 without sacrificing anything. Once I have some projects out of the way this will be my next project.
I bought the Gen 1 plans but couldn't get through my other projects to build it, now I seen this and all the improvements, pfft, Gen 1 step aside for Gen 2
@@rlhanks I was just thinking the same thing.
Bought the Gen1 plans in Dec of 2019, and then a car project hit the same month... The car hasn't moved out of the garage since, so the major metal fab hasn't happened either.
Wouldn't have mattered if you bought Gen 1 plans, he is giving the Gen 2 plans away free to those who purchased Gen 1 plans.
@@sidgar1 only if you had bought it in the last few months.
Mine were purchased just after he initially released them, far beyond the window for recent purchases to upgrade.
Oh sweet, a Jeremy Schmidt video! And it's a long one!
Wow! Just found your channel. I've been a practicing product development mechanical engineer for over 35years and I'm quite impressed w the design and the metalworking skills. Nicely done!!

It's been an epic experience watching the build jer well worth it.
Hope you've been well and I'm looking forward to future videos mate 👍🏼👍🏼😉
Hey! Good to see you. Glad you’re back. Just bought the plans. Nice work!
Was just checking on you the other day, good to see you again.
One word to this project: BRILLIANT! Looking forward to more videos in the future, really great to watch.
I appreciate every single part of that! I'm in manufacturing and have developed some pretty good stuff I think, its been out of necessity. I've forgotten what its like to do fun stuff. You just made that project fun, you took all the pain in the ass out of it for people like me who are not engineers. Your very innovative, you have a lot more to bring to the table I think, with years in front of you
Great upgrade Jeremy. Enjoyed building Gen 1 and use it almost every weekend. I probably will not upgrade but looks like a good product. Would love to see you come up with other fabrication tool plans like a slip role or pan brake.
Hell yeah he's back! Glad to see you're in a good place.
Its one of those rare instances for me to sit and watch something all the way to the end. This is amazing, thank you for sharing.
I purchased your gen 1 plans. I have purchase your gen 2 plans too.Just purchased a milwaukee deep cut band saw. I'm now ready to build your gen 2 belt grinder. Extremely well done plans and well thought out design!
JER on my subscription feed!!!! My day just turned around!!!!
So glad to hear from you, man! All the best from the Netherlands
Fantastic build! This will make a great winter project. I'll be ordering a set of plans soon!
Awesome work Jer. Great design, CAD work and manufacturing and assembly.
Wow I thought about you, how you're doing and your great content yesterday! How random! Great to see you back!
Regarding those overlapping holes @13:18, you can drill them safely without problems if you drill every other hole first, then in-between them. This way the drill sees a symmetrical cut and doesn't wander :)
czcams.com/video/pHrWHKVBrlM/video.html
I can watch this video over and over and over I love how Jer explains how we very single piece in depth it’s my wish and hope that I’ll be able to build one myself one day
Very nice. I did enjoy the original so it is very good to see the metric version being offered too. Not sure why I didn't see this 9 months ago but certainly worth the wait. Many thanks
He's BACK! Happy to see you Jeremy (:
I don't know if you know this, but you're a really good teacher. (I've been teaching for 20 years +). Thank you for this video!
Thanks for coming out with the Gen-2 version belt grinder ! I liked the Gen-1 until I saw your Gen-2 version and will be ordering the Gen-2 Inch Plans so I can build one for myself ! Thanks Jeremy, great job on both but especially on the Gen-2 ! ! ! Keep up your superior work and designee ! ! ! ! !
I always look at your post and then say "My goodness this kid is brilliant !!!"
Thanks for a great upgrade.
It's good to see you back here Jeremy. I thought we lost you as a creator on CZcams. Hopefully we can be treated to more of your great designs and inventions. It's always a great thing to see awesome builds evolve into even more awesome awesomeness.
Glad to see you back. On a totally unrelated note, I fight depression every day. Your videos and attitude are inspiring. Thank you.
Very good build Jer! From an old welder, here's a tip on your welds: Welds can start to crack at the end of your bead. To reduce this possibility, when you come to the end and let tension off your trigger, then pull the trigger again quickly, and briefly draw the gun back through the puddle, the length of the end puddle. Really makes a big difference, especially on metal that receives fatigue. It doesn't take long and a crack will form and the whole bead has to be replaced. Saw this happen to forklifts that were built with a cage around the driver. These were then lifted by the cage into the holds of cargo ships. Because the welder didn't finish the welds properly, 12 forklifts all cracked and had to be redone by scarfing, grinding, and re-welding. You don't make money when this happens! Happy welding!
I am so glad to see you back, don't stay away for so long. Cute, innovative, hard working, what more can a person want?
Just purchased the plans. Thanks so much for the upgraded belt grinder. :-)
Wow you were quick ;-) thanks!!
The minor changes really add a lot. I really like the mcmaster handles being on a 45 degree angle. Locking the bar into the opposite corner.
Thanks!!
A VERY good grinder design and build. A really good job of explaining the build process step by step. I picked up a couple good ideas from watching.
I also like how quiet the final assembly runs. amazing.
Open source concept is freedom. World needs more opensource projects like this.
Yes, metric! Thanks Jeremy, the rest of the world can now build this grinder! I actually converted your old plans to metric...
Great to see you back on CZcams. I've missed your interesting and insightful videos for waaaay too long.
Well done, Jer. I was impressed by your presentation style, ordered the plans, and just finished my own. I'm now even more impressed!
Welp, now that there are metric plans, I have to buy them and build it
@justan idiot yes, one could just calculate everything from imperial to metric, but as Jeremy said in the video, as there is no easy 1 to 1 conversion regarding raw material, some alignment has to change. Also it's a big source for error, e.g. You're off by 2,5mm for your 3 1/2 inch conversion :)
@justan idiot it's nice how your name fits perfect
@justan idiot what's so great about this belt sander is that is built with as much precision as the process allows and not thinking "nah it'll be fine" even before you start
@justan idiot I built the v1 and let me tell you, it wasn't as simple as just converting everything to metric. I had to work around larger or smaller stock and when you have lots of parts the differences add up.
@justan idiot If you paid any attention to the video you would have heard Jeremy explain why there are metric and imperial plans available... (Hint, it isn't just a case of converting raw numbers) 👍
