Grizzly Belt grinder for HSS bits..?

RandallsRaceShop said:
Seriously, check out that Grizzly H7762 grinder. If I would have seen them before I purchased my 8” bench grinder,
it’s what I would have bought to grind my HSS with. It would make setting the angles & achieving a good grind damn near effortless (compared to a regular bench grinder).
I’m still going to get one, but it’s not happening tomorrow or anything like that.

I just thought I would mention it.

Hi..
I did look at that couple years ago when I was thinking about shaping my own HSS, its a nice unit. Mikey talked me into getting a belt grinder long ago for the added versatility... We have an abrasive wheel grinder and expanded wheel sander at work, But I'll get some bonus Oohh's & Aahh's when I bring this thing into work :)

There was a YT video of a guy who made one from ceramic tile, and eBay has numerous Sellers of the Glass Ceramic platens (with the popularity of the Grizzly grinder they probably have them already cut to length, but one for a 2x72 would probably work).
 
Hello all...

The nice FedEx man came bearing gifts today, It only took a couple minutes to assemble, and just like that you have a belt sander.

If there's no mod thread for this belt sander in the grizzly forum Ill probably start one.

Happy New Machine Day! ;)

I'll be interested in seeing your thoughts after using it a bit.
 
lol I already have lots of thoughts... ill be starting a thread under grizzly machines and introducing it.

My final thought for this thread are, its compact, light weight and worth every penny if the motor and controller don't burn up.

Contender machine works has a number of upgrades for the Grizzly 2X42
including a much heavier steel platten and brackets.
Discussed in the link below https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/grizzly-2x42-upgrades.1962497/

Grizzly T32459 - 2" x 42" Belt Sander.

Hello all, This is a pretty neat compact belt sander... Figured I'd post some Pic's, Then down the road turn this thread into modification posts for it. Although its hard to tell on grizzly's site - its pretty compact, I put a soda can for reference in the second photo. The only things...
