Great looking dies! Now I got another project on my list...LOL

I bet if you split the belts in half...two 1" belts you would be able to use all of the belt by use of the tracking adjustment.Then no portion of the belt would get wasted....correct?

The motor is a 2hp. 3 phase 1725 rpm. I use the same VFD as my belt grinder. I just plug the machine I want to use into the VFD and make sparks. Here are a few shots of things all put together.

I had a dozen .250" thick discs laser cut out of steel plate. The material was not flat so they needed to be surface ground before the I.D. and the O.D. were sized. Notice the shims under the discs. This was to get the first side flat. Next was the lathe work. I bored the I.D. of the...

I didn't get any pictures of the turning work of the aluminum hub that the discs mount to but I did get a few of drilling and reaming the holes for the magnets. The holes are complete and the magnets are pressed in.

After the axle was finished I made the table. It is .750" thick aluminum. I will mill a slot in the table later for a bevel gauge to ride in. That was the main reason for doweling the table to the axle. So the slot will remain parallel with the face of the discs. This is roughing in the pocket...

This is the axle for the table to mount to. I'm milling a flat were the table will be bolted from the underside. I am also using dowel pins to keep the table parallel to the axle.

Next I aligned both arms in the vise with the dowel pin in the holes. I drilled and bored the arms for a slip fit for the 1.00” dia. rod that will be the axle for the work rest table. This is a cut off of the axle piece. Notice the small holes in the arms. These are for the clamping screws...

Now let’s work on the arms for the work rest. The arms were also surface ground in pairs so they are identical. They are .010 smaller than the holes in the posts. I drilled and reamed a .500” hole in the ends of the arms for location on my rotary table to mill the radius on the clamping ends of...

I hope this fits in the W.I.P category since it is a knife making related machine. I wanted to add a disc grinder to my shop. I built my own belt grinder a few years ago and that was a fun project. A disc grinder looked a lot simpler so I started gathering parts. I looked at what was offered to...

I am very interested in the plans! Any thoughts of when they will be ready to sell?

That is fantastic looking! I just finished a disc grinder. A horizontal is next on my list. A few questions: Is this a 2x72 machine? Do you plan on adding dust collection. ..if so how? Do you have a drawing of the base plate?

Great looking knife!

Nice looking knife Brad! A liner lock is on my hit list of projects. What thickness was the blade?

Here is a swiveling base I made for a parrot vise.

Looks like an interesting idea. I am building a disc grinder right now. I may try that in the future.

Very nice!! Love the combination of materials!

Now that's a knife!!

Damn! That is beautiful! !!

Looks Fantastic! How long is the blade!
