Description: It is time to upgrade my 2x72" belt grinder. I built my original belt grinder 2 years ago and never really finished it off properly and it's bugged me ever since. Didn't paint it, didn't take adequate protection of the VFD. The original motor was a second hand cheapy (1HP) which was also under powered and bogged down fairly easily. I had a spare VFD ready to go so I bought a new 3HP motor to match. I also wanted an external control box system so that I could turn the belt grinder on/off and also control speed without having to touch the VFD and expose to dust and particles. I hope you enjoy! It was very satisfying to rebuild this grinder and upgrade it significantly!
