Made out of an old kitchen cabinet. I had it for quite a while, but only bothered to take pictures now.
I like, also the mini grinding table.
I hope you put some dead weight in that cabinet to keep everythig still!
anyway, you spent money on a grinder? I scrounged around landfills (waaaay back when) and tore a dryer motor out of a clothes dryer. Had a shaft on each end, one for air circulation fand and another to run the drum.. bought a shaft adapter to get a grinding wheel on and did a bit of wiring to get it going. yes I do have to flip a switcth and then hit a "start" button just like a dryer :)
I've had it for nearly 10 years, very light duty use, but I cant think of a more usefull tool.
last month when I finaly got an arc welder I made a stand for it. 16" car tire with a pipe welded to the rim and a couple of pieces of bed from to clamp the grinder to. I really need to drill some mounting holes, I need those C clamps.......
You mean the mini welding table? Thanks.
It is not bad actually, plus, there is a few heavy things on top already...
Yep. That 1/2 HP Baldor cost me about $40.
Sounds like a very inventive use of a motor from a landfill!
I would use something like that for polishing cloth wheels or brushes.
Very nice, sounds like you are having fun!!!
Post some pix too!
