The Bench Grinder Is Done!


Well, it's done. I finally got the bench grinder up and running today, having the patience of Job with waiting for all the various parts to come in the mail. It works alright, but there a few things that need tweaking, I think. The motor isn't powerful enough, so I have to get something bigger. And the step pulley that I put on the drive shaft wobbles a fair bit, so I will take that off and either replace it or fix it somehow.

Update: Replaced the motor today and fixed the pulleys. I trued the wheels, and it runs pretty good now. The motor is a 3/4 hp but I tried to bag it out, and couldn't so it seems I have enough power now.
