We’ll done, I’ve built 3 of these style grinders, some with free tread mill motors, others with $150+ motors and different plans from different DIY builders. The built in spark guard and the hex cutout for the handles was ingenious. Nicely done

Cool standard double barrel design - I got the plans for inspiration.

Hi, congratulations on the project, I downloaded the files but the cutting plans don't have the measurements, could you make them available in a file ready for laser cutting?

[lukasilec]

Awesone!! Do you have maybe .dxf or .step file? I cant open .obj ti make dxf files. Thanks

Seriously impressive with freeplans OMG !!

Конструкция супер. Думаю, за неимением сварки заменить корпусные детали фанерой, к тому же лазерный станок ЧПУ по фанере легче найти. Ролики тоже выточить из склеенной фанеры. Мотор не такой мощный. Для привода ленты вполне хватит, как и жесткости конструкции из фанеры.

First off great video & build, why if the account is free do I need to provide a CC number ? Went to get build plans & won't let me without providing a credit card ?

Excelente trabajo, hace un par de años hice una "parecida" en madera con los planos de un japones, pero nada que ver con la tuya (por desgracia). Creo que me voy a atrever a hacer algo parecido, gracias por tu vídeo, muy gratificante, enhorabuena por tu trabajo y gracias. Un saludo desde España¡¡¡

[ksikjunior]

Great and professional machine! But You made it from ready made elements. For mi is very good job. Congratulation!

[vbrutsky]

Самая простая и шикарная конструкция из всех. Благодарю! Кстати, почему называется 2х72?

[adriancollins]

I don't suppose you would share the dxf plans for the various plates would you?

[andywilson]

Hey mate awesome build im trying to get these laser cut but they can do it just with the nest and cut pdf file do you have the dxf files?

[fabriciohernandezlopez]

BUEN DIA ....NUEVO DOY LAS GRACIASS POR LOS PLANOS EN LOS SUBE

[rrsrsamsung]

Nice video. What is the hp and rpm of the motor ?

[truperda_staraja]

частотник надо защитить коробом, потому как пыль быстро его убьёт, либо выносной пульт подсоединить, а сам частотник подальше убрать

[philreeper]

Do you have a link to the wheels you got?

[marcusmorgan]

How much tension does that strut have? I am finding them from 18 lbs and up, with 18 being about the lowest I can find, travel is around 3 inchs from fully compressed to full length.

[Levkhat]

Are you from Georgia? Cause I saw a 1 Lari at the end of the video

[raulbetancourt]

What thickness metal should these files be cut in? I'm currently looking into getting this laser cut.
