2" x 72" Belt Grinder Kit

[Tmate]

I just ordered a DIY kit for a Revolution 2" x 72" belt grinder from Brian House. I wonder if any of you are familiar with these, or have any views about a grinder of this type. I think they are used largely by knife makers, which I am not. I just thought they were kind of cool. I attached a picture of a completed kit.

I would be interested in seeing a thread on you assembling this thing. I have seen his youtube commercial.

I’ve looked at that kit. It’s $335+shipping and you still have to buy steel tubing, motor, and vfd. And weld it together.

Or you can buy a built frame for around the same money from Ameribrade. Still need platens, motor, and vfd.

Ameribrade has an interesting unit. Unfortunately, their web site says they have a 5 to 6 week turnaround time. Also, I'm kind of looking forward to the build, and possibly tweaking the design a bit.

I have a similar unit in my shop from Grizzly. Folk ask what machine I use the most.....hands down the big belt sander. Easily my favorite machine in the shop.

I use my 2x36 1.5hp a lot but I would like it to be better. The kit you bought, are the cut-out plates aluminum or steel? Thanks for posting.

I find my Kalamazoo 2x48 somewhat limiting. I have seen the one House sells. Looks like a great unit.
