Belt Sanders

[Ribeyerare]

Hey y`all I`m looking for a new 2x72 belt sander for doing my bevels and such for my knives. I`m looking to spent around 500$ and I`d prefer to keep it down from 600 after shipping and tax. Thanks in advance!

I don't think that exists unless you are making your own or if you luck out and find one used.

The is such a wealth of previous threads on this forum.

Search on kmg, grinder in box, gib, eerf, esteem, tw90, wilmont, bader., pheer. You will have hours of info.

The only 2x72 grinder I know of in that price range is made by Grizzly.

Maybe one of the smaller kalamazoo grinders.

I spent over 1000 on the grinder I just made, but that is for a vfd and belts. if he made it himself a motor is less than 300 and he can make a frame and then spend like 200 on wheels and such. or a grizzly.

These sorts of questions are asked frequently, check the stickies at the top of this forum section.

Also perhaps you could get a Coote grinder and find a used motor and pulley set-up for it in that price range. http://www.cootebeltgrinder.com/prices.html
