Just some pic's of a my belt grinder after restoring an old UBG-622 Hammond belt grinder.
Will use it for sharpening, scale removal, and deburring
SPECS:
- Belt Size adjustable: 1" to 2" wide x 42" to 60" long ( may add another idler to allow use of 72" belts)
- Dust collector system
- 3 Belt speeds: 1465, 2835, 5652 SFPM
- Motor: 1 1/2 HP (reversable via switch to allow belt travel in both directions)
- Contact wheel: 6" x 2" ( a few others are being made 8"x2", 2"/ 3" / whatever will work )
- Weight: 250 # approx
- Footprint required: 24" x 24"
The platen was made perpendicular to the column and belt. Scab platen added for easy surface
renewal. Additional adjustment added to belt back plate. Narrow and wide backplates.
Still need to make another platen assembly for the contact wheel. Additionaly a nice work light,
magnifier, fold down tool / work table, and additional grinding guides to be done.
For now it works great, maintains tracking very nicely, all adjustments are easy and quick.
