could use some help with a diy belt grinder

<< < (2/4) > >>

Hi thank you all for your reply.
Ill grab some food and then i will go out a check the alignment of the rollers with a metal bar, and if needet adjust them  :beer:

Arbalist:
My belt sander has only two wheels, both of which are crowned. I believe you can get away with only one of them being crowned but I'm not sure having a crowned adjuster wheel is doing you any favours. Try crowning the driving wheel if you can and see how that works. Just a simple wooden temporary version will prove the point. If you have to use a third "adjuster" wheel I suspect it would be better uncrowned.

Neubert1975:
The one i have made is with 4 wheels, but i do see your point in not having the adjuster wheel crowned, so i will try to "decrown" it
On top of that i did find out that boath the adjuster wheel and the motor wasent lined up with those on the front, so tonights project will be to fix that, it must help on it, and if not then i can try to crown the drive wheel.
Thanks for the help so far, and i will get back with the outcome of tonight  :med:

Arbalist:
Might be worth having a look on some of the knife making sites for ideas as well. Belt grinders seem to be one of the primary tools for small scale knife making and many folks make their own grinders.

chipenter:
I have an old linisher and if the belt gets hot on one side it expads and moves away from the hot side , the ajustment is quite senative .
