I got the tip from http://badgerandblade.com/vb/member.php/74023-bluesman-7 in this thread I started recently: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/378714-How-to-heat-treat-a-file
The tip was, give the homebuilt beltgrinder it's own topic, so here it is
I'm makning my first real 2x72 beltgrinder. After long searches on the internet and youtube I started to design a grinder that would be easy to fabricate and should do a fine job in grinding and restoring some razors and scales.
Here is the design I'm using ( cm's and inch together to make it easy )

So I bought some steel:

And i strated to buy the other parts that I would need.
Of course a contact wheel is a must, so I got this one. 8" x 2"

The wheel is not 100% flat ion the runningsurface, but nothing a few mm's in a lathe won't cure.
Some knobs, with the long one for the trackingwheel

And some nice stainless handles

And nothing can run without a good motor. In this case and industiall 230v, 1HP motor, 1410 rpm, 3 phase is going to be perfect.

And I'm waiting for the postman to deliver this piece to regulate the rpm of the motor
1 phase 230v in, 3 phase 230v out
So it's almost tim to start putting it all toghether, which I'll share with you all of course.
Updates coming, enjoy
