Ok. Thanks. I'll look.
I built one several years ago, sold it and wish I had it back.

I have a tilting grinder that I built. I use horizontal quite a lot.

Thanks for tutorial. Looks good. I like your idea. I think I could maybe add one more roller and use my 2x72 belts.
I have made all my grinders ,including my double wheel hollow grinder to use the same belts.
I like your cam idea.

I've built 2 tiltables but I like to leave them set up for flat and convex grinding, so I'm wanting a full time horizontal preferably with three wheel stations and a long platten...each with their own tiltable rest.

I can understand that. Honestly, I wouldn't mind a dedicate horizontal as well, or at least a 2nd tiltable that would primarily be left in horizontal. It really is quite useful.

They're hand. I've only had one a couple years & use it more for folders than fixed blades.
