Stainless steel KMG, Build

[JTknives]

JT have you ever wondered why nobody likes you. Good looking piece.

it cant be because i have a bling grinder can it .

 

[Keith_H]

its all mostley 303 and 304 so non magnetic. plus it was all cut from larger blocks of material so all the demensions had to be milled to size.

I forgot about those magnetic chucks. The thicknesses looked right in the box.

 

[Phil Dwyer]

Wow it even has a state of the art safety feature and will only run for its owner/operator. Note the built in finger print recognition security system! Pretty good photography there J. We're all waiting for the next WIP report with baited breath. Take your time, but hurry up!

 

[JTknives]

Look what i just got. any one drooling yet man i'm pumped and it is at the local store where i get my steel and other things at amazing prices. and to think its 2hp and 3ph and i got it for 78.oo bucks so now i need a vfd to complete the master piece

 

[Justin.Mercier]

Yeah but where are you going to find a stainless NEMA enclosure for a stainless VFD?!

now thats just crazy talk

This is reminding me of the spongebob episode of the future: "EVERYTHING IS CHROME!!!"

that's a great one, and thy have people that are in charge of coating everything in chrome.

Yeah, exactly!

 

[Salem Straub]

That motor is sick. It truly will be the crowning glory of your already seriously great grinder.

You'll just have to make one.

I have been thinking about just getting rid of the belt a pully and bearing setup as i'm going to use a vfd and so i was thinking of bolting the motor right to the frame in the back where the 2 bearings nommaly go. and then puting the drive wheel straight on the motor shaft. i think this would git rid of even mor noise and belt and bearing vibration. any thoughts.

 

[Keith_H]

I think that the bearing mounts would add a bit of rigidity back and forth, but it seems like a good idea.

I have my drive wheel direct mounted to my motor, no problems. You might not get the speed you are looking for if it is a 1750RPM, I have a 3600RPM motor and 6" wheel. Having the capability for warp speed was important to me during my build.

BTW your parts and motor are dead sexy! Get the Nevr dull yet?

 

[silver_pilate]

Yeah, the biggest advantage with a pulley and belt system is the ability to easily change sheaves for different rpms and for flexibility of motor mounting location.

That is just plain cool. Nice work Jarod :thumbup:

ya i am going to go with the pulley method. o man, snap now look what you did :foot: .

 

[Fellhoelter]

You're going to make stainless sheaves too, right????

 

[JTknives]

I would like everyone to welcome the new member of that family he has a big brother that is waiting to be made

man i love the machinist handbook, it's my bible . has all you need to make allmost anything. its funny but i had thought that a pully was a pully but depending on the size the angle actualy has to change to account for the belt swelling around smaller wheels and that width also changes a bit. o well at least i dont have to make a tone of these, just 2. this one is a 2" wheel with a 5/8"th shaft size and you guessed it mand from 17-4 stainless steel

 

[Keith_H]

This reminds me of that scene from old school, where he gets the dart in the neck:
"You're crazy man. You're crazy! I like you, but you're Crazy!"
I like the handbook too, I borrowed it from my shop class for a while, I don't think they noticed that I returned it though, I don't think it has been looked at in years.
Nice pulley!
