Usually when it comes to grinders.the bigger/heavier/stouter.the better. generally buying a cheaper machine, means you have no resale value.Īnd to make a generality. Our belts will fit all of these grinders and more. The problem with tension type belt adjustments/tightening is that they are usually just too weak.because most cheap out and use far too light a tension spring.Įveryone has to go with what they feel is best for them.but when I throw out advice on grinders, it's from experience, and the hope that a person will make a investment on a machine that will hold it's value over time. Common 2 x 72 inch grinders include the Brodbeck Ironworks grinders, Wilton Square Wheel Grinder, Black Fox One, Black Fox Pro, AmeriBrade 2x72 Grinder, KMG Industrial Belt Grinder, Hardcore Belt Grinder, Bader Bill, Reeder Grinders, and Bob Dozier Grinder. Some will argue, but in my experience, a compression type system (spring or spring strut) is superior. Not just picking on the Ameribrade, but I would not own a machine that has a tension type belt adjustment system (a pull type spring or similar on the belt tension arm). You just need a good table, and with that system you've got a grinder that will go horizontal which is VERY nice. Maybe not at first, but after very little use, things will start going to pot. Here's a good video showing the Reeder grinder: The mounting system would be the least of my worries - it's plenty strong enough. Anytime tubing is used in the construction of a grinder, it's just building in vibration and chatter. In a 2x72 grinder, weight equals stability, increases smoothness, and helps significantly reduce vibration. Also appropriate for dense and hard woods. Why? That machine is just too light weight and what I would call "flimsy" when compared to those that are more robustly built. Applications: Stock removal, profiling, bevel work, sharpening, grinding welds, shaping, cutting, and blending ferrous / non-ferrous metals (steel, stainless steel, alloys, hardened steel, cobalt, aluminum, copper, titanium, nickel, etc.). This is an idea I borrowed straight from Reeder Grinders, although it shows up on a. Process and product of acylhalide copolymers reacted with Reeder, Earl. I've used an Ameribrade, and think there are far better choices. The grinder uses a 1.5hp Iron Horse connected to a 6 drive wheel.
