Greetings again all! While I don't post very often, I have been lurking around. I have seen lot of GIB builds and they look great! Some people have made them variable speed with pulleys, some with vfd's, and some leave them single speed. They are all good methods and the best one depends on the user's needs.
I've been busy sending them out all over the plae, and will continue to do so. With the prices of everything changing, the only price difference between now and when I started selled these is $0.30!(USPS raised their flat rate box, so it went from $10.20 to $10.50 for shipping.) The $250 price tage is still unchanged!
Here's a recap of what's included.
And choice of either platen style. The top one is the multi platen, it uses a small wheel at the top, a large wheel at the bottom and the platen itself inbetween. It can be rotated to use any portion. The bottom one is the standard platen. It's meant to have two smaller wheels with the platen itself inbetween. It can rotate to different angles.
There is a little assembly, drilling, tapping, and countersinking a few holes. Wheels and a motor are not included. It is designed to use a motor with a 56c frame.
The tooling arm mount is 1 1/2 inches as is the work rest. All the pieces are laser cut from 1/2" steel. It assembles to a very sturdy grinder.
My information page for it is located at http://www.polarbearforge.com/grinder_kit.html. The page contains assembly instructions, a tool list, and a couple estimated pricing breakdowns depending on style of platen.
This grinder can be setup to use 72" belts using an 18" bar. I setup one of mine with a 60" belt, and the rest will be 90". There's a lot of room for adjustment, it's all dependent on the length of the tooling arm.
The original thread can be found here. There are some questions answered in there that have been asked, as well as some picture of completed grinders.
To order, just send me an email at jamie at polarbearforge dot com. For some reason I never get the notifications that I have a private message here, so it takes me a little longer to reply to those.
Thanks!
Jamie
