Thanks for taking the time to post pics of the process.

Does that disc sander have box for variable speed that's not in the photo?

From his video, it looks like it's variable by dial and it goes to 11!!!! :)

Hi D! Thanks!

The video explains it all! :p I generally keep all settings at 11 including the"More 11."

I used the same motor and vfd setup as the horizontal KMG, it is a Leeson 1hp motor and a KBAC VFD... a 24d If I recall correctly. It is laying on my horizontal grinder table as I still need to mount it. I bolted it all to a 3/8" mild steel plate and used the disc from Beaumont Metal Works.

That's right! :D
 
:D Here's the dowel pin in for alignment





I also put in the pressed stop pin and drilled/tapped the holes for the clip. That's a temporary blade for now... I do that because before heat treat I only ream my pivot hole to .249" and the blades do not fit on the pivot for fitting, etc... the pivot holes get lapped with 600 grit Clover Compound on a brass lap post heat treat for the tightest and smoothest fit.





I've been practicing my milling for the blade and backspacer work... glad I did because I realize I need a new round end mill!

This isn't some regular old peasant steel! :p





That is a serious guarantee! I always use this D2 and I can see why.

I marked off a generous portion.





Chop time!







I'm going to work on the blade next... heat treat time will be soon! Thanks for watching,
 
Thanks for the clarification on the VFD. I sent you a DM with mire questions, so I don't tie up this thread. Good stuff, Daniel!
 
I'm drooling allover myself by watching your Wip! :D

Thanks Daniel, that's awesome!
 
I've got a 6mm and a 10mm I'll send you. I'll have to check in the shed, I may some HSS. I'll get something headed your way.

Big thanks!!! :D

...By the way it wasn't those I was talking about, they are also getting used soon on this one though! I only had a few of the right pivots in stock and after sizing them I broke one in my 1 ton press being a complete idiot! lol sure enough my supplier has been shut down for a move but they are open now and things will be moving fast soon!
