Hello all. I haven't had much luck searching, so I thought I'd ask here. Are there any plans out there for free, or cheap for building a grinder that pivots over onto it's side? I have plans for the "No Weld Grinder", the KMG clone, the EERF, and I own a Coote grinder. I'm new to the hobby and have the desire for a grinder with more options than the Coote, and being in the metal trade, want to build my own. So are there any plans out there?
Thanks for your time.
 
I'll post the plans to my grinder if you'd like. You'll need a laser house or water jet to cut it out for you, and the plate is all 3/8" thick.

If you have posted them before, point me in the direction of the thread and I'll check it out. No need to go thru the trouble of posting them again. Thanks

I've never posted them. Mostly because I wanted to run it for a while to see how happy I was with it before putting them out there, and simply forgot. And it seems most people prefer to buy than build anyway.
 
Kuraki - I do think there are a whole slew of use poor folks who'd rather build than buy.... I enjoy building my tools as much as my knives.... well, almost anyway.

JR71 - Glad I could help.

For what it's worth, If you have the tooling and such already you can save a few bucks, but the hassle almost isn't worth it. if not its just about as cheap to buy the no weld option from Oregon blade maker off eBay. He makes quality stuff with great reviews and free shipping. You supply the motor and accessories.

I agree. I bought plans from USA Knife Maker (I think it was from them). I am a broke vet student so anywhere where I can save some money and still get a great tool is worth it to me. And I got into knife making because I love knives, well pretty much any type of weapon, but especially knives, and enjoy making things myself. Making the tools is just as much fun as making a knife to me.
