Cordless Grinder Turned Belt Grinder
 |
 |
He made a machined flat pulley on his lathe to screw on to the grinder shaft and built a steel frame to mount a 2 by 30-in. belt. He fabricated 1 1/4-in. tubing with smaller tubing inside to hold the implement bearing shaft he purchased at a farm supply store.
“The secret to keep the belt in alignment is the 3 bolts that go against the bearing shaft that can be adjusted,” Isaac says.
To change the belt, he loosens the crank screw that tensions the belt, slips on a new belt, and tightens it up again lining it up with the bearing and a horizontal steel plate.
“The nice part about it is if you need something ground flat, you just hold it up against it,” Isaac says.
Because it is powered with a battery, the belt grinder is portable, and Isaac keeps it handy on the edge of his workbench.
