You don't necessary need a press. Idea IS very simple, you don't need more than a drill and tool for cutting. Instead of using a press, make that part from a piece of angle iron. You can think by yourself too...

? why can't some of you 'people' .....just accept others, and their efforts at employing themselves ?? sure, there is alot of videos with bullshit noise (music ??)....but, their efforts are worthy of watching, if YOUR interested. JUST AVOID those titles, then, Mr Solarman..... your a poor example, of clean energy, you know ?? enjoy your day....

@ very good idea. i have an idea to convert a very good bench saw, (saw blade on motor directly) into a 2 inch wide grinding stone, maybe 8 or 10 inches, if i can find one. Probably will have to manufacture an arbor, the size for that. will 'think by myself' with ideas. Enjoy your Finland, from central Alberta Canada.

Thanks buddy for watching and your comment!

Thanks buddy!

Thank you very much for your comment! 👍

My first attempt at using thse belts on my metal lathe was pathetic.. a skateboard wheel, a piece of angle iron, and a piece of firewood I turned round.. Every time I put tension the wheel turned no matter how hard I tightened it down.. What I needed to do was set up a proper mount.. But thats just how sad I am. What I really want to do is set up another 2x72 setup off of a normal grinder.. Like the 2x42 units that just go straight up. Sure it'll look dumb with 72 inches of belt up in the air but I have $200 in 2x72 belts that are going to waste and I need to get some knives made with them so I can recycle the money trail. Anyway the more grinders the merrier right? I have a half dozen motors and 4 bench grinders all going to waste just lying around.. (yeah I'm a packrat) And I need to learn how to fix my big boy 40 lb cast iron grinder.. it was working then it stopped for no reason.. must be a loose wire or something. Thanks for being an inspiration.. I need to get out in the garage more but I destroyed my back 3 years ago and my life is nothing but pain these days. I need a plan and a reason to get out of bed these days. otherwise I peter out. But so long as I have a solid plan I can follow through I can fight the pain and keep going..

@@reforgedcriterion1471 think the SEK or Made In Poland may be does a great one with a angle grinder too.

Thanks buddy

Thanks buddy!

Thanks buddy. Parkside tools seem to last well. I have couple of them. 👍

Thank you very much!

Thank you.

Yep. That's one things i usually regret at the moment when i turn on the grinder. This was for the "one hour" competition, and i wanted actually make it in one hour. Had a little hurry. And, result was, that it takes less than 40 minutes to make it.

Never skimp on safety my friend.

@@TTURBOVOLVO agreed . i install a toque covering ears, wrap-around safety glasses, and a high, tight collar. Keeps filings, and stuff out of ears, hair, neck, etc . And pants and shoes....

Nice tip. I made a tensioner to it. You can see it here: www.homemadetools.net/forum/easy-bench-grinder-belt-sander-no-welds-lathe-73371#post135529

Tuo on ollut hyvä värkki sellaiseen pieneen sipaisuun. Kynän teroittamisesta lähtien. 😁 Mutta ihan on ollut käytössä, pienistä kappaleista kun tahtoo vain vähän pois, niin raaka voima on joskus liikaa. Teossa on uusi nauhahiomakone ja pari muutakin juttua. Videointi vain vaatii yllättävän paljon aikaa. Niin ei ole vain kerinnyt työ ja koti kiireiden vuoksi. Kesä on vähän sellaista aikaa että kannattaa tehdä pois kaikki ulkoremontit joita on talvella huomannut.

Forged in fire made everyone go crazy over 2" grinders.. that and anvils now cost as much as a house.

@@reforgedcriterion1471 There is a guy a couple of towns over who as cornered the market on anvils in this county. When I saw his prices I went back to where I used to live 900 mi one way and got my old one. I thought they would be cheaper out here, like lawn ornaments and such.

@@denniswhite166 My next anvil will be new. Unless I find a good deal on a 400-500 lb monster. I won't spend a dime profiting one of the bastards who took advantage of the anvil price gouging. I'm all for a guy making profit. Hell thats how life works. But this has gone too far.

😂 Trust me, its not the first time when i use angle grinder. Why clamping workpiece would make cutting any safer? 🤔

@ Well clamping the work piece free's up your other hand, to get out of the way in case you mess up, if nothing else. Like, I haven't had many screw ups, using a angle grinder. BUT I messed up once, & end up picking fiber glass flap disc bits out of my left hand. It sucked to say the least.

@ great vid mate. he is right tho... the very first part when you were cutting the flat steel made the 5 inch scar on my leg tingle haha. shorts and thongs were what i was wearing too when the grinder kicked on me. wasnt my first time using a grinder by a long shot. keep all your limbs so we can keep getting your great vids! subscribed
