Building a 2x72 Belt Grinder From A Kit
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 03. 2024
- I picked up this Revolution 2x72 belt grinder kit from Housemade Industrial. It cost about half of a production model belt grinder and took 8 or 9 hours to build. I wanted one of these to do some knife making, clean up blacksmith and metalworking projects, and to use for some of the Jeep fabrication work I do from time to time. I think it will be a great tool for the woodworking shop also. I made this video is to show my experience building up the belt grinder. If you are interested in getting one or building one, check out the Housemade CZcams channel below

This is awesome. Thank you!!!!
Hey, Thanks!! It is a great machine. Great instructions and excellent service from you guys too. I think your forge is the next item on my wish list.

Thanks for the build video and the link to HouseMade. I've always wanted to get into metalworking and have bookmarked these for when I do. Hopefully you'll give an update in the future as to how it's working out for you. - Chris
Glad I could help!
Man, what an amazing work! Really well done!!! 😃
Unfortunately there aren't kits like that here in Brazil... But some day I'm going to get one, I just don't know how yet. 😂
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks! Hope you get a solution that works for you. Having a 2x72 grinder is making metal working faster and easier so far.
@@TwistedWorkshop77 I bet!
I really want one of these. But how often do you rotate it to horizontal? Would you do this again or buy the vevor for $900?
Thanks for checking out the video! This may be a long response to your question but…. I haven’t used the vector grinder so i can’t compare the 2 but I was having the same thoughts you are before i bought the kit I have. I do have a vevor vacuum pump that came to me damaged. I contacted vevor and they said sorry but they couldn’t give me a replacement and to contact the third party supplier I bought it from (Amazon). I eventually complained enough that they did send me a replacement but it was a lot of trouble and 3 additional weeks to get a working unit. As for the grinders and price, the base kit is under 800 bucks. The motor and VFD are another 350 so $1150 total. It’s not much more than the Vevor grinder. I’ve been adding attachments and now starting to make accessories for my grinder but I didn’t have to spend that money up front to get grinding. For most of my life, I bought the cheap version of things and regretted it and in most cases ended up getting the better one anyway. Now days I’m in the buy once, cry once camp ( although I did like the Ameriprise grinder and set up but $4k is over the line for how much I will use the grinder). I don’t regret the revolution kit at all! I have used the horizontal feature twice in the last 2 months. It is in that orientation now. I’m making some hand plane irons and the sides need to be perfectly straight. The horizontal orientation seems to work well for that kind of work. I hope this helps but let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck!
@TwistedWorkshop77 thank you so much I think I will get to ordering
