Here is the plans I used.
http://www.dfoggknives.com/PDF/GrinderPlans.pdf Great set of plans but the tension spring location is incorrect. This is the only problem I had and it really is a minor issue. Perhaps it has been corrected since I built one. Overall the plans are very thou and easy to read. I would highly recommend that you use cold-rolled steel and NOT hot-rolled steel. The scale on the hot rolled will make for many problems in your build. If you have any questions with these plans feel-free to contact me, I would be happy to share any information I have with this build. Brett |

IIRC, the Grizzly wheel has a metric diameter hole for the drive shaft. Depending on how you plan to use it, you might need some shims to fit it to a 1/2" shaft, or some machine work to get bearings to fit.

NJ,
What size is the hole? When I tried to get info from Grizzly, I ended up more confused than before the call. Thanks, Fred |

10ees,
I had the same problem with that misalignment, but as you mentioned it was minor. I have changed over to this- a gas strut- http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/sh...B-content-also) I like it more. Fred |
