I am Very close to buying this setup:

I am about to pull the trigger on my first real belt grinder setup:

Reeder RPS111 https://reederproducts.com/shop?ols...wheel-4-tracking-wheel-qty-two-2-idler-wheels

• 
• 
• 
•

• 

MOTOR, 2HP, 1750 RPM, 1PH, 115V/208-230V, 56C/TEFC, With base

Question. Will this setup "chooch"?
Will this motor bolt right up to the Reeder?
Would there be any advantage to the
Ameribrade 272 over the reader? Thanks guys...

Not sure what "chooch" is. If you are going single speed, i'd go with a 3600 RPM motor.

The grinder and motor are both 56C. They will bolt together.

Sorry "chooch" = work

 

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

It will work, but I would highly recommend you getting a 3 phase motor and a VFD. That will make the grinder variable speed and many times more versatile.

Looks good, but if you want a real skookum choocher, spring for a three phase motor & VFD.

Apparently not everybody watches AvE.

I agree with Stacy. Save yourself the heartache and go with a 3 phase/VFD setup. If you shop around, I've seen 1.5-2hp 3 phase motors for anywhere from $50 to $100 used, or you can go with something like an IronHorse brand motor from Automation Direct for $175-200. You can get a chinese VFD for about $100 to $130. Add about $40 to $50 for misc. wiring and such, and you should be able to put something together.

I've got the Reeder and like it. If you can swing it, definitely go variable speed. Can't imagine using a grinder without it.

Got one of my favorite saying off that guy!!
"Looks like some apprentice has been after it with a dull beaver!!"

get a 1 hp 1720 rpm motor and use the savings to buy a 1 hp VFD. http://dealerselectric.com/FM50-101-C.asp this is a 115V VFD and should give many years of service. don't be talked into monster motors, learn how to properly use your tools.
