This might just be the best belt grinder build I’ve seen yet. I love how versatile it is.
Watching this video was incredibly satisfying, I very much appreciate the effort involved in creating and now building this tool. Thank you for the experience and your time filming and editing all the video as well. In total a true work of art, I am looking forward to your next build segment!

Glad you enjoyed it!
"A thing of beauty is a joy forever."
Never apologize for taking your time and making it right the first time.
What. A. Build! Really looking forward to the next ones - And I love the Jeremy Schmidt quote at 16:48 ;)
What a complex build. I love it.
Thanks! I did take some inspiration from your 2x48" build which is my favorite one 👌

finally i found a machining channel that uses metric
As does Stefan Gotteswinter who has a fantastic machining channel (in my opinion!).
I'm form the States, and YES our stone-age measuring systems has got to go. But its gona cost a Gazillion dollars to replace it now. Aaand we have those "We are number one" people who say: We went to the moon using inches. To them I say? You also went in your dippers.. It got the job done.. why do you use a bathroom now.
@@iteerrex8166 I'm actually Canadian but default to mostly imperial units when it comes to most things. I keep both metric and SAE taps and die sets, but only keep stock of metric fasteners! Indicators are imperial, test indicators are imperial, calipers and micrometers; digital ones have both metric and imperial, dial/vernier scale ones are imperial.
I was taught machining using imperial units and that's what I've known and used in machining for 20 years now so I doubt that'll change XD
Bottom line, if it doesn't involve fasteners, I default to imperial XD You can imagine the shock I had when I started 3D printing and had to switch from imperial to metric for that XD
I can go either way, been doing both for years and just convert it when I need to.
22:40 "this kind of precision is completely unnecessary" Precision is always necessary. In everything. Always. I appreciate your precision and extreme attention to detail. I find it incredibly relaxing. Thank you
I saw a lot of belt sanders on CZcams, but I think what you made is the strongest, most convenient to use, and surprisingly safe, so I want to keep it if I can buy it. I hope you stay healthy and continue to share good ideas.
I only ever used cnc machines. this really makes me appreciate the care and caution that goes in to making parts the old school way. good job man!
I think my favorite design element was the auto-locking tension arm, that's a really nice feature to have.
OK... I must confess: I've watched them all. All the belt sander builds. I guess this also is the reason, why I got your video in my recommendations in the first place. But after watching 38 minutes, i've got to say: You earned a new subscriber. You're build outpaces every other belt sander. It runs circles around them. This is pure machine madness, better than a bought one. And It's actually doable. Thumbs up!
this is so satisfying to watch! i can feel how much effort goes in this project and i cant understand how someone could dislike your video! Thanks phil!
popped in my feed couple of days ago. Always wanted to build a belt grinder and I will. Watched it today and it seems I have got a channel to finish. (catch up to or finish watching) Hats off my man. Used majority of 4 years of Engineering knowledge all in one video.(3 videos...)
I watched your "7 Lathe Upgrades" video yesterday [4/1/23], and it reminded me of this series which I couldn't resist watching again. It's one of my top 5 favorites and more than likely it's #1-since this is the 3rd or 4th time watching it. Ironically I'm not a machinist, but it scratches an itch-something I notice in many other comments. God bless.
I'm Blown away and deeply in love with this grinder. I'm also miserable because I can't go on without this now that I know it exists. My life has lost all meaning without this. Amazing sir well done!
normalerweise konsumiere ich youtube eher kommentarlos aber hier muss ich wirklich mal schriftlich meinen Hut ziehen. Bei der Liebe fürs Detail und die sinnvolle Konstruktion geht mein Herz auf haha! Freue mich auf den zweiten Teil.
Nachdem ich Ihre Kommentare ins Englische übersetzt hatte, freute ich mich über Ihre Freundlichkeit und Wertschätzung für seine Verarbeitung und sein Talent. Ich stehe voller Ehrfurcht und wundere mich über das nächste Video. Gott sei Dank für Google Translate eh! hahaha
@@briant5396 google translate is the past, go for deepl (funny that's also german...)
It's nice to watch talented and skillful people like you. Thank you
I could've watched this for another hour! Great video, and what an amazing craftsmanship!
The clickspring of belt sanders. Outstanding. I don't do any shop work of any kind nor do I need a sander, but I now must have one like it.
This is a very nice design for a belt grinder. I really like how it can pivot from 0° to 90° using the quick release handles. The thickness of the steel plates seems more than adequate to mitigate most vibrations that may occur during sanding/grinding. Your machining skills are great and watching you make these parts makes me want to get back into machining again. It was once a part of my job a long time ago, but I do miss it. Never thought I would say that, but fabricating things has its own reward. The process actually relaxes me in many ways. It's definitely therapeutic for me. I think your CAD design is awesome. A picture really is worth a thousand words and seeing the 'idea' up front definitely helps you to reassess certain things as you fabricate, so you can improve things on the fly. I'm anxious to see the final product. Great video!
A well made video and excellent machining work. I usually don't watch build videos all the way through, but just skip to the end to see the finished product. The reason is that most creators either have no dialog or just music. In my opinion, Voice Over videos are the most watchable for build videos. And you did an excellent job of that. Clear and concise, and you explained things very well. Almost too much detail, but an excellent job. Great editing. And your design is well engineered as well. Thank you. Looking forward the the rest of the series.
genius results by using adequate tools and skill. no bullshit, no overkill. i like it a lot.
Hi Phil ~ I wanted to say that I, for one, prefer the longer videos in which you explain what you're doing. Not all of us are seasoned machinists, so your words are essentially clues for the clueless and, needless to say, a great way to help the hacks like myself learn more about fabrication and machine work. I've already liked and subscribed, so please keep making the informative videos. 👍
I like your neurotic approach to design and construction. I’ve bought a fair number of used machines over the years and I find I like the ones where the engineers used twice as much material as would have sufficed for the purpose and generally went way overboard in every aspect. I would like to build a similar grinder and am greatly inspired by your design.
I had a very stressful day today and I have to say it was very calming watching this. Well done.
*Watching a talented machinist is like watching an artist paint or sculpt. Beautiful work*
Long story short: my main field of profession was automotive. Then I moved to welding (all processes). After working for a fabrication for simple awnings my mind has been more open then ever. Machining is a goal I hope to achieve soon. So much measuring a precision it just call to me. And little by little I search up videos on CZcams for inspiration and you my friend has gained a follower. Honestly I'm almost 30 years old and there is still so much to do with so little time. I'm hungry for knowledge in all trades electrical, hydraulics, measuring. I am looking forward to your next vid. Can't wait for part 2.
I hope to be an engineer one day. 😂😅
"If you cant make it perfect at least make it adjustable" lol now that is perfect
I heard that first from a guy named Jeremy Schmidt. He has an awesome belt grinder built video as well.
Smü that’s a direct quote from Jeremy’s build video.
@@smu1129 Yep that's where it's from. Jeremy is very quotable
Ahhhh someone from my thinking
Dam you must be the wise man
geiles video!
super mit dem intro in dem Programm.
ich freu mich über das video.
das letzte is lange her :)
klasse, danke!
You had me at "Inches give me nightmares"... That should be a check box in youtube advanced search to avoid obsolete content... the rest is pure gold. Thanks a lot for sharing your work.
The Jeremy Schmidt quote almost doesn't seem appropriate, since it seems that you actually CAN make everything perfect. This beast you're making is giving me several types of tool envy.
I think I gave up the "perfect" status when I left that broken tap in there 😅 But thanks for the compliment!
@@PhilVandelay No, that was the perfect mistake that made it perfect
All those tools and no cutting torch?
@@PhilVandelay every tap needs a home.
"This is just basic hot-rolled steel, because it's cheap, and I'm cheap" -subbed.
Well, this Build is Not !! overbuild, it is classical perfect engeneering. I love this absolutely precise kind of work and it would take its time to come up to the
Final Product. I‘ve watched all 3 Parts of the building process and decided to build one of these fantastic tools. I am sure it would last longer than I would live
so that my nephew could work with it. My deepest respect for the Builder
In a 45 year career at all levels in engineering, I never worked for any man for whom "cheap" was not a virtue in design! I've subscribed.
I am only three minutes in and I have to congratulate you! Amazing design. Very generous to put the effort into sharing it. And lastly what an astonishing animation of the whole design. Really enjoyable and informative video THANK YOU!

Like you I have watched many build videos on 2x72 grinders. Considering making one of my own one day and just getting some ideas. This has got to be the winner of the most complex build / coolest grinder design I have ever seen. I understand it's more than just a knife makers grinder, but the care you're taking with each and every part is inspiring. Major kudos to you excellent job can't wait to watch the rest of the build.
The build quality is incredible. I can't stop watching. Very addictive.
Beautiful work!
Black steel is well suited for this build because it warps less when removing material from it ,bright steel is nicer to look at but will warp considerably more . Lovely build ,a belt sander is on by to-do list ...
I was looking for a simple way to build belt grinder, this dude made particle collider grade plans to build it. A Enjoyed it and I love the metric system.
I bet this grinder is better than everything you can buy out there...awesome projekt and love your level of perfection
As people have said a very nice video and well made/edited together. Very relaxing to sit and watch when it's too late in the day to make noise in my workshop.
You attention to detail is amazing and you cinematography is spot on. Your voice over is great also 👍
I don't understand why I didn't find your channel before, this is wonderful, What a great video. I love the complexity and the break down so simple minds like mine can understand. I am off to part 2 of your video. Cheers.
Looks like the kind of belt grinder I would DEARLY love to have at my disposal! Beautiful build!!!
I love that you built it so it could rotate to a horizontal configuration.
Those plans are insane!!! I wish there was some international build competitions with the makers on youtube or elsewhere. Maybe there is and I don't know... anyhoo, great video and very worthy plans.
Wow..Another Level Skill ..
La realizzazione è un'OPERA D'ARTE !!! Vorrei avere un fratello come te e con la tua officina! Grazie per la condivisione di questo video molto utile per capire quanto debbo ancora imparare ! Ciao Nico
This is the biggest "my shop is awesome" flex I could imagine. Loving the content, wish I could get a mill and lathe myself.
I know the feeling, I saved up a long time for these, but I'm hoping they will eventually pay for themselves. My first one was used and only cost around 600€ (I made a video on restoring it). So it's not impossible, the bigger issue is usually that you need a space to put them...
Phil Vandelay With that many fuckin ads in your vid it shouldn’t be a problem...
@snk_blk I removed most of them now. Besides, you way underestimate how little this stuff pays out, I work on the side to even be able to make this content.
Always a pleasure to watch. Love the flippant commentary
That's purest form of engineering. So soothing and satisfying.
Functional Mechanical work of art ..thank you so very much SIR GEE
Your methods are maddening. I spent most of the time going “why that way?” Only to hear you say “I did it this way because, meh” lmao. Great work and great video.
Best diy belt grinder on y-tub
Bra gjort 👍👍
I am only three minutes in and I have to congratulate you! Amazing design. Very generous to put the effort into sharing it. And lastly what an astonishing animation of the whole design. Really enjoyable and informative video THANK YOU!
I love that someone finally made a belt grinder for metric belts, I'm from Argentina and here is more common to find 75*150 and 75*200 mm belts.
I made a home made 75*150 belt grinder that has not a single piece square, but works fine for what I need. I dream that one day I will have the equipment to build one like this one or like the one that Jeremy Schmidt made (but with metric belts)
sorry 75*2000mm and 75*1500mm
This is such a cool design, thank you for sharing this video! I'm also happy to see that you include your 'mistakes' and things you might have done differently, it's a pleasant change to see on these types of video where often such things would be omitted.
This is the first video of yours I've seen, and I've just subscribed. Great job Phil!
Nice and professional job! It's a pleasure to watch! And finally someone uses countersink before thread making🙂! Thanks for the vid!
Brudi, extrem beeindruckend, deine Entwicklung! Wirklich tolle, komplexe Arbeit 👏🏻
Ca Lem approved is auch nochmal die Sahne on top 😀
Richtig gut, Daumen hoch für die tolle Arbeit!
Im finaly kinda finding a kindred spirit youtuber another fellow who likes to overbuild things love ur videos and the machining shenanigans with the boring heat into fly cutter is something i know to heath keep it up mate
You have great hands and a great eye. The tool is art. Very well done.
Best belt grinder build i’ve ever seen. Sick!!! Really like to watch your video
@Phil Vandelay this an epic design. I don't know why it soothes my soul so much to see you build it. Subscribed! :-D
Besides the awesome design, the superb build and the useful explanations, i have to say, I find your voice really soothing
Thanks that's nice to hear actually!
15:35 some of us come to watch each part being made and we like the details those that don't are fluoridated and have the attention span of a gnat and some of us come to learn Phil i consider these videos a gift of knowledge those who don't are not worth the skin their in and we should be making it into lamp shades
I've been meaning to get my own home machine shop up and running for years now. I think I bit off more than I could chew when I first started and it's been a challenge to get my machines reassembled and modified as I had originally intended. Thanks for the motivation. :)
Damn. You got schkills. I loved how you squared up the rough cut of the main plate with the mill. That was kind of brilliant really. Maybe not to you, but to me, yes.
now this is a precision build with professional skills..love it..wish I had the machinery’s in your shop..
"because it's cheap, and I'm cheap." AMEN BROTHER, AMEN!!! great video, thank you. fine design!
Never apologize for making something over built, precision and beautiful. That grinder is gorgeous so far, and will outlive us all. I too am having tool envy. Wish I had a lathe and a mill. Just bought Jeremy's plans and the wife got me a plasma cutter for Father's day (I'm not hacksawing, cutting wheel, or bandsawing 3/8" material!), so mine will be a Jeremy grinder. No precision milled parts here, lol.
This video series was terrific. Excellent work Mr. Vandelay. thanks for sharing. Inspiring work.
Hey there's still one more video to come!
Absolutely stunning work ...
I appreciate the comment about "I could have this part made, but then my video would just be me opening a box." It also changes the project from something you made, to something you put together - which are two different things. It's also about the enjoyment of fabrication, enjoying the journey, with the finished product being the icing on the cake. In a home shop, time isn't money, so building stuff - yourself - is what it's about, the creativity and mental challenge :)
Oh my! What a beautiful build. Yes, I ordered the plans!
This things a work of art
Your skills of manufacturing the parts, design, vediography & explanation is remarkable , plz make a vedio on hydraulic & mechanical vice for machining.
Many things can be learned from you.
very impressive design and execution.
This is 1 bad ass belt grinder, things gonna look smooth as when its done
New favorite channel!
One of the best belt grinders I’ve seen on CZcams. Nice work 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
The best belt grinder , thanks for sharing this ..
Next > small weel and large contact weel atachment
" inches give me nightmares ...." the best, merci 😂😂😂😂😂
Like you said there is tons of these grinders videos and I enjoying watching them all like you
It’s beautiful! So incredibly satisfying seeing this come to fruition. Great job!
Great work and very nice build. When you face a large, thin piece, you can reduce the chatter by bolting (or tack welding) another plate to it below. That will add the extra rigidity without you having to machine another piece.
1st time viewer, just happened to see this and stopped by to have a look. Wow! This is an amazing build. Love the design, I have viewed many videos on these grinders. Sir you have a winning design.
That is work.. I know about getting involved in projects that have many parts.. Good job.. nice techniques..
Excellent video (editing, production value, narration, etc...) and excellent machining as well. I eagerly await the next installments of this series.
Fantastic design detail and build quality! Very well done Sir! Can't wait for the next episodes! Greetings from Southport UK.
This is an amazing example of precision and workmanship! Very well done!
Comment: At 32:39 you talk about holding work in a machinist’s vice for welding. Holy hell the old timers would say! One trick to minimise damage from spatter {not that there is much using TIG} placing sheets of thick grade aluminium foil protects your machined surfaces. It can be re-used several times until too holey to use. It does save your nice tooling. Same thing about wrapping clamps when MIG welding.
I find that if you clean your material and get proper gas coverage there's zero spatter with TIG, but I'll definitely remember the foil tip for MIG welding!
Good job! A powerful grinder is a must-have machine for the workshop! I made myself a light belt grinder. It works well enough, but I plan to make it more powerful in the near future for more serious projects. I wish you good luck with your creativity!
SO NICE MACHINE!
I'm glad your welding skills are on par with your machining.
Really interesting work. Thank you. I’m looking forward to the next part. I was actually watching one of your videos when this one came through! Thanks again, it looks a great machine.Les in UK
Very well done my friend! Excellent workmanship with the build and the video! Enjoyed every minute watching you work and looking forward to the next segment!
If you are looking for future content, I would love to see you build this (or something else) in CAD along with the real thing. Really great job!
Wow, I'm looking forward to seeing the final product, most industrial quality looking beltsander I've seen on youtube so faar! Awsome work!!
"Inches give me nightmares." haha...very funny. I agree.
I totally agree about inches, in Australia metric use came in 1974, I was 9 when that happen. I don't understand why certain countries still persist with such old school rubbish, inches, foot, miles 🤣. It's like useing hands to measure a horse size and knots in speed on water 🤣
Perfektionismus! Sehr gute Arbeit . Gutes Video. Gut erklärt. 10/10
