Belt Grinder

[Big Country]

I hate to pose this question as from searching archives it has been asked several times in the past. My searches so far though have only lead to dead ends. I'm looking for some plans to build a belt grinder. I've only been forging knives for about 3 months and getting frustrated with the weak model I'm using now. Alas, I can't afford the more powerful models at this time. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mike

Welcome to the forums Mike!
Detailed plans are hard to come by, but you can buy them for the Unigrinder.
There is a link for it in this thread . That thread also has many links to homemade ginders.
I have alot of photos of homemade machines if you are interested in them shoot me an email.
Regards,
Greg
