very nice

Thanks for the comment. It is a simple little grinder, it was my main grinder for years,

No doubt it's super clever! I have a mobile sharpening business, www.premiersharpening.com, and although my 1x30 harbour freight belt sander kicks but grinding metal it has very limited tension and tracking ability. Your machine is awesome! I will be building one tomorrow.

Cool, I hope it works out well for you.

Thank You, I am blaming it watching one to many MacGyver reruns :)

+LL Pete I appreciate your comments and input, You are welcome.

+rcwarship Thanks for the kind words and comments.

+Vince Curtis The x-y vice solves a lot of problems, I wish I could say it was an original idea, but I saw somebody else using the same concept.

+Jawad Ibrahim Thank you

lewisrazors you are welcome

You are very welcome, thanks for your comment.

You are welcome, I am glad to hear the video had some ideas for you.

Thanks, I wish I could say it was an orignal idea to use the x-y vise.

I hope you do make a razor, thanks for commenting.

Mohammed Aslam You are very welcome.

+biggoldnugget You are welcome, thanks for the comments

Welcome

my xy vise has thumb screws to lock it into position

lawrence ogden The drive wheels are crowned, but the motor is a little crooked.

Thank you

***** Thanks I am glad you liked it.

Thank you

labrat7357 It do like my little grinder, The hardest part is finding good blets.

Thank you,

Thanks very cool design and thank you for taking the time to respond

You are welcome

Essex mirage Cool, I hope you make something with the concept.

Thanks Randy, this was done with my old camera, I have not made a video in 1080p yet.

Glad you liked it

+BrokenRRT Axels were home made, some,wheels from Sunray, some wheels I made myself.

***** It is a home made rest made from mostly bolts with long threads. I like this rest because the height and distance from the wheel is adjustable. There is a little round button on the front that the blade rest on, it allows for grinding curved blades. Here are a couple links of the rest in action. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9aap7yg0ODLm2Q.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r5unrKZm1tnLhqOH.htmlhanks for you comments.

lewisrazors thanks LewisRazor, i appreciate your time. I know a lot of the knife makers here in Australia like your videos and respect your work. If you're ever in town you should get in contact on www.australianbladeforums.com cheers Adam

I would love to make it to Australia some day. Thank you for the kind comments.

+mustafa ilin The different diameters on the drive wheels are for speed, big wheel fast. smaller wheel slower. I use 2 or 3 axles depending on how much slack I need to take up on the belt.

Tadeu Cichinelli You are very welcome

lewisrazors Parabéns pelo trabalho gostei muito da criatividade e a variedade de equipamentos que você adiciona ao equipamento. Muito bom!!!

Logan Golin I have this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNSDe8SH2re0loE.html , I like your idea of making a more in depth video on the 2x72 grinder. Thanks

There is not a lot of variety of belts for a 1x42 grinder I use ceramic belts when I can get them. I get my 1x42 belts from Supergrit.

lewisrazors Thanks for the quick reply. Have you any experience of Norton Norax belts? I intend converting my auger screw log splitter into a dual function tool, so that I can grind my knives and axes here in Scotland.

Pasdechevredreamer I have not used Norax belts, I would assume they would work well Norton makes good abrasives. I would like to see your machine when you finish it.

No tutorials, this video is all I had on this grinder.

+Antonio Sevilla F You are welcome

Thank you

+Bigwingrider1800 You are right, I have the gib screws/ ways kind of sloppy so it is easy to turn. The xy table is a little less than low budget in build and quality. With all of the grit and dust floating around the ways I have given up and just keep them loose.

+BrokenRRT Ha, I am not the only who does that :)

That is a hard question for me to answer. I bought the cross vise at Harbor Freight when it was on sell, I also bought the rubber coated wheels from Sunray. The rest of the parts were scrounged and scavenged from my own shop. I am not sure what it would cost buying all the parts.

Alvin, I bounced some numbers around because this is such a great little machine and I want to make one. Depending on your access to some freeby parts and creative building skills, a basic machine could be built for 3-400$ excluding the xy base. I can get a good used motor and I figured basic wheels from Sunray. The xy and additional wheels is what will make the price go up quick, but you can slowly add to your collection. I also have most if not all the material laying around as well as a welder. I'll call a favor in from a machine shop friend if needed. There's no top limit on what you can spend. I hope this helps. Thank You Mr. Lewis for sharing your videos!

Thanks

+zacatecano1986 It took me a long while to gather materials. My grinders before this one used shopping cart wheels and skate board wheels and wheels from industrial supply houses. Sunray is a good source for affordable wheels.

It is a 1/4 hp. I know 1/4 is small, but I have ground a lot of razors on this little grinder. A bigger motor might be prudent.

lewisrazors oh thank you, I have in the mail that is 1/3 so that should be suitable for what I'm interested in doing.

+james curtis I wish

I do not have for sale, I was just showing my grinder setup

@@lewisrazors . Okay.
