Very nice job, Dave. I don't know how much you saved by doing that yourself, but I know the JL grinder of that type is pretty close to $3000.

Thanks Don,I have about $100 for the 1/2 hp motor,about $100 for the Bader wheels(2",1"and 1/2") and about $50 for assorted electrical and hardware items.The steel and aluminum are scrap from work.This grinder is great for all those little curves and really cuts down the time.It uses a 1"x 42" belt .Dave

I really like that profilegrinder too! Looks like something I need to make.

really like the profile grinder could you email me
at house-house@mindspring.com
I would like to ask you a few question about it you did
a great job on it.I would email you but don't have your email address.
thanks Nathan

They should be great pieces for you for years to come.
The profiler gives me ideas.... :)

Do the double-disks spin in opposite directions? Going to try flat-grinding on it [them]? My mind is going a hundred miles an hour....

Thanks for sharing!

Each motor of the dual disc sander is independent of the other ,both are reversible( note lower switches).The disc's are from Sheffeild's with 5/8"particle board and 1/4" micarta glued on.The micarta is slightly tapered.Micarta makes changing disc's easy and I keep coarse on one and fine on the other.I do use these for flat grinds among other things.Dave
