The features of this frame kit are:
Several points are welded. I understand the plans say no welding but this is a production kit. The design accommodates welding very well and this is an improvement. Multiple 4 bump knobs for tooling and tool rest adjustments are included as is a knurled knob for the tracking adjustment. Tabs are welded to the bottom of the base tube for mounting to your stand or bench. All holes are drilled for you! Assembly of this frame will take 20 minutes with 2 wrenches. Most edges have been cleaned up but as always, be careful about sharp burrs. The assembly manual is exceptionally easy to follow with multiple pictures.
What is NOT included:
A flat platen attachment or slack belt attachment. I am working with the co-operative to make these available as an option. We are still working on the details for this. You can always make these very simple attachments yourself by ordering the metal pieces from us. We encourage you to have multiple attachments to extend the versatility of this tool. I have 8 different attachments with different wheels for mine and I use them all.
FAQ's on this frame:
Why do you have this?
I got a lot of requests to build a full grinder for people and also to offer a kit of all the metal parts. This will fill the needs of a lot of people that simply don't want to make the frame or can't locate the metal in their area. I don't have time to make the kits myself or to build full grinders. This was a natural. A group of people working to make a Living Wage by creating their own work in a rural area of North Dakota where jobs are hard to come by.
Why don't you include the wheels?
A lot of guys are making their own or buying the contact wheels else where.
Will you ship international?
Sorry, not at this time. The people making this are not set up for international shipments.
Why don't you include the wheels and knock a bunch off the price? Free would be nice!
I know. This is the best we can do and I already charge the lowest price I can.
I can make this for a lot less than you are charging!
Yes, you can. Probably by $100 to $150 dollars less. I would really encourage to make your entire grinder BUT some guys just don't want to. This is a very good price considering the work and metal that went into the frame kit.
How much is shipping going to cost me?
You can check with UPS for shipping charges at UPS.com. The sending zip code is: 58216. The box size is 20x12x12. The shipping weight is 49 pounds.

How is it packaged?
In a box approximately packed with styrofoam and packing peanuts. I hate packing peanuts too but this is going to require it. The metal frame is in pieces, stacked and shrunk wrapped.

There are several pages on motor selection and several more pages on abrasives for reference. We will mail those to you separately It's just a darn good read too...
