Good deal I didn’t see that.

Thanks, Z2V. He and I already worked it out.

Ok

I'm still sitting on the models if anyone wants them!
They are in Iowa.

I received the models and look forward to learning from and replicating them. I'm posting this to say thanks, and so you know that I'll have them for the next person wanting them.

Show us your tools after you grind them, Gaffer.
We'd love to see them.

This is my first post in this thread. I am moving toward grinding my own tools.

Today, I received a Bucktool Combo 2" x 42" Belt Sander 6" Bench Grinder, Knife Sharpener BG2600 from Amazon.com. $200 + sales tax.

I wanted the combination of wire wheel and belt sander on a bench grinder. That's why I purchased this version instead of the Dayton or the Palmgren, which have a disc sander and a belt sander.

Let us know what you think. That looks like a pretty good machine. I saw a write up/video of the Grizzly industrial 8" grinder (I know, a totally different beast), but was pretty impressed, especially with the guards.

That is a nice machine, Karl. If I may, look into putting a ceramic glass platen on it; a 2x8 or 2x9 is good (buy two; use one and keep one for a back up). You can find them here. Let us know if you need details on how to attach it to your platen. I prefer to replace the stock platen with a piece of low carbon precision ground steel or a piece of O-1 precision ground steel attached to the chassis with a piece of angle iron. The reason for using ground stock is that it is flat and will allow the platen to be epoxied on solidly. Just my preference.

This is THE most important upgrade you can do for a belt sander. The second is a solid, adjustable tool rest.
