I Turn My Bench Grinder To Belt Sander!

DIY Bench Grinder to Belt Sander Conversion
hello everyone in this video I show you
how I turn my bench grinder into a
dope belt sander.
this whole bench grinder has served me well over the years,
but I needed a sending configuration for my small workshop
that allows me to quickly remove more
material when working with metal,
and the stone discs just don't cut it anymore I
decided to retrofit this Bench grinder which I also restored instead of
buying a proper 2 by 72 belt sander
because one 2 by 72 belt Sanders are way out of my budget and 2 I don't have
the shot real estate to accommodate the
footprint in order to fit the
retrofitted components I remove the covers from both sides of
the bench grinder. I modeled everything on
fusion 360 and printed the sketches to
scale so I could use them as templates
be included a link in the description to
the plans so if you want to retrofit
your own grinder the plans are totally
free. But only one LIKE Required
using spray adhesive I stuck the
template on 3/16 inch steel plate and
roughly cut them out with my angle
grinder.
moving over to the drill press I
drilled out all of the mounting holes
first using a small bit as a pilot, then
drilling them to size with a step in.
Then I make Belt Grinder 4"x36" Wheel Set for 4" Drive 5/8" Bore 4" Track 4" Idler using wood on wood Lathe.
using a nut as a spacer between the pivot arm and the mounting bracket for the top pulley.
I welded a makeshift hinge using
an m6 bolt and some nuts.
I also welded a nut onto the pivot arm for the belt tracking adjustment bolt.

Then I remove the sticky paper and did the
final shaping for all the pieces with a
flat disc on my angle binder.
with everything prepped, I can dry fit
all of the pieces the first thing is
securing the main body by the three
bolts.
and with a quick coat of paint, I have
this Beautiful table sander. and the moment I've been waiting.
