Hi All, thought id share my latest find out of my local building reuse it center, i stop in from time to time for all sorts of project needs around the house and potential knife related scores, the owner tinkers with blacksmithing so he likes old anvils, hammers, saw blades, etc, and is always trying to bid on lots that contain these types of items. Any how i was making my rounds and noticed a small machined wheel hanging out of some box with ac ducting, i got excited and pulled this guy out!!
Now i instantly knew they were all 2" well made little wheels with high end bearings, i checked the motor and its a dayton 1hp, 220v, 3 phase 3450rpm, written right there was 95 bucks!! SOLD. I started checking its functions and noticed the ferree band instrument, and tool co.?? Smart phone to the rescue turns out its there heavy duty belt sander that runs 2x72 belts and is used to work on instruments that need sanding and polishing! Im pretty sure im gonna work out an horizontal set up out of it swap the motor to 120 and through a vfd on it!
possible horizontal:
remember to check your local flea markets and re-use centers, lots of resources out there thats fer sure!!
