The Epitome of a Cheap Grinder...

[69_knives]

Found this video of a really cheap way to build a grinder. Wouldn't be difficult to turn this into a 72" with another small adjuster wheel.

That's cool! That fella has several neat videos; not a bad way to spend a lazy afternoon.

I am very impressed! I've been lookin for an idea like that... THANX for posting!

No problem.

I actually found another pretty amazing 2x72 grinder build. I was thinking the tracking was outstanding for how it's built but then he shows the tracking 'compensator', still pretty cool though.

the first knife grinder I laid my eyes on was just like that a local guy made 25 years ago and still uses it

Thanks!! I'll never look at a golf bag cart the same again.

Well, a golf bag is just an assortment of parts waiting to become something useful anyway.

Not clear on how he glue sandpaper belt at joint to whel so he not get bump evry time the joint hits the knife. Also not clear how he changes to fine belt without destroying corse belt. Maybe he has more than 1 wheel?

Thanks

He wouldn't glue the sandpaper to the wheel, it would work as a belt sander
