Belt Grinder - Blade Holder

Making an ULU that has no straight edges and tricky to keep knuckles away from the grinders belt gets interesting. Plan on making several knives and decided time for a rebuild on the grinder.


Old set-up only a flat platen
with recycled stainless work rest.
Contact Wheel mounted with an adapter from 3/4" bolt



Small Wheel Attachment
Shape of knife I will be grinding
Basic concept worked out
In order to get full range of the joint I had to taper the nuts used for centering the holder. 

Bevel should rest flat against ball race



Upgrade in operation

Belt Grinder Work light

I never seem to have enough light or it is in the wrong place making shadows. Finally fixed that problem with a magnetically mounted LED work light.

I can put it anywhere except the stainless steel belt shield until I get a piece of steel fastened in place.
