Awesome! You are correct. The one you have is not made in America. However, we will have our own American made option available within a couple months and we will keep the price very close to that of the import. We are in the process of making the rubber and aluminum casting tools right now. Thanks for mentioning us in the video!
Thank you! I'll be looking forward to getting my hands on one of those.
I will be buying several of your wheels when they become available. Will they come with Timken bearings or other USA made bearings? Thank you in advance!!
Jeff Conti Hi Jeff, we are talking with our bearing supplier. He says none of the American companies actually make their small ball bearings in America anymore, but he would still get us a price on Timken and Nachi bearings. How do you feel about Japanese bearings?
At this point anything except Chinese. Lol. Seriously. The Japanese probably do very well. I would wounded of the Germans make bearings? The quest is for high quality. I make custom and handmade knives. My customers spend quite a bit of money. I do too... on my tools.
There also exist high quality bearings from Sweden, company's name is SKF - almost entirely the only brand used in all of Iceland and we make a lot of our own machinery here (or well, used to, until imports became more readily available).
Before buying this sander I would use a rotary sander kzhead.infoUgkx3Pc2vLXfcgM5oIpF1iYcIWyFhHUC-G6v and didn't see the need for a belt sander. Boy was I wrong. this belt sander does the job quickly and gives a professional finish to the wood work.
*This is exactly what I needed for trimming the edge of oak boards **MyBest.Tools** I also used the disk to round edges while building an oak - walnut cabinet.*
You are made of the same stuff GOOD TEACHERS AND PROFESSORS should be made of. May GOD bless you for your sense of humor and ingenuity...!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love how meticulous you are and how you explain your decisions appropriately. Some makers can be kind of jerks. You’re pleasant and pretty funny in a dry way.
Alex Gordon Agreed. I particularly enjoyed the hacksaw bit in this one. It's a good reminder that if you don't have a vertical bandsaw you can use a hacksaw, but if you do have one it makes sense to use the hacksaw FAR less often.
I really appreciate your sense of humor! Also, great job and clearly explained, as always.
Very nice design and construction, long term thinking, practicality and modularity. Great job.
Your way of thinking and explanation of such keeps me coming back. Your channel kicks ass.
So Jeremy can weld, drill, grind, cut and finally fabricate. No not finally. He can conceive the mechanism before fabrication. As well he can eloquently describe what he is doing as he is fabricating. He has confidence enough to admit to minor mistakes as he goes. A doer and a teacher. I am jealous. I can barely weld. I look forward to more wizardry in his videos.
Everything about this belt grinder is superb and this attachment is no exception. Your radius attachment is especially a work of art. Thanks for the videos Jeremy, they are much appreciated.
And here i though i had found all the awesome wood/metalworking channels... Super happy to have stumbled across you, entertaining & educational!
Geek brain....geek speak.....combined with awesome execution, makes you a rare gem. I love how well you explain the “why” along with the “how”. Videos of this genre usually lose me about halfway through. Your addicting delivery captivates me to the end. You are a fantastic natural teacher.
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
I'm literally in awe of your skill. Both as a builder and a video maker
That ‘washer’ making attachment is freakin amazing! I will be borrowing that idea for sure
DUDE! You're my hero. Your design is so well thought out and built.
The radius attachment is still my fav. Perfect radius, every time! Nice build!
I definatly want to see a close up of the radius jig. Plans would be helpful! Sweet job there Jeremy, I mean the whole grinder..tough, versatile, set for many inventive attachments to come.
Jeremy, You are the bomb! While most people your age are out playing around, you are designing, fabricating & selling plans for useful machinery and attachments. Fine work, keep it up!
man, even the v-notches are perfect. excellent work. always a pleasure to see well applied engineering :)
I have become an instant fan of yours. First i watched you build your belt grinder, than a few of the attachments. I am absolutely impressed!
I've watched your series on these grinders so many times over the last year. You are a very clever designer and I love your way of putting your content across. Your very clear and easy to understand. After watching many videos on making one of these grinders yours is by far the best and the cost of your plans are very reasonable. I will be purchasing them very soon now. Thanks again...
Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions.
This is my first visit to your video. Retired Electronics Technician for 30 years. Woodworking has been a life passion. Now I find myself making things to make things. Getting more and more metal working tools than I thought I would ever use. I think that you are a good teacher of your Craft. I was teaching algebra and trigonometry at 17, in the Navy. Knowledge is power, keep it up. And sell these on EBAY.
I really like the way you explain things so someone like me with very little metal knowledge can easily understand what you're doing. .I learn so much from watching your video.You inspired me to learn more in this field ,so I enrolled in a welding and machine Tech class at the local JC. Awesome video again! Thanks for sharing.👍👍
What's up Mike?
You are an excellent instructor, Mr. Schmidt.
I must say your welding "while good in your grinder build video" has improved. Keep up the good work. It's nice to see that younger people such as yourself still have the yearning and skills to build it yourself.
I think you are exceptional- I will not be surprised if in the future you do not come up with something nobody ever thought of. In the mean time you are the standard that great instructors and information sharers of the future will try to be like and imitate. Well done. Asress
This has been a great series of videos on your belt grinder. Super smart design
Nice adaptation Jeremy. The large radius wheel makes a big difference. Keep the good videos coming. Thanks.
Great video, I will never build or even use a belt grinder like that but I still enjoy your videos. It's great to see how a smart person with an eye for details can build a grinder far more versatile and rugged than you find on the market.
I really enjoy your videos. It is nice to see someone thinking in three dimensions when designing a tool or an object. It saves so much time not having to tweak and fix weak points towards the end of the project. Great Job!
You got some serious skills Jeremy, always a pleasure watching your projects!
You have so much talent Mr. Jeremy.
The amount of subtle humour is just amazing.
Robert Wiggers agreed, the fake out with the hacksaw really got me.
Your are a genius man very nice
That adjustable flange idea blew my mind, so genius.
it is not often you come across a you tube video of a product build that is so detailed anyone could build it just off the video, no plans needed, as a welder and mfg for over 50 years making everything i ever built from a plan in my head, you did a hel of a great job, showing just about every detail, everyone else is so into making sure there video is not over 12 min.. now i ask what can one learn in 12 min,,, other then how to build a bomb...
I love how much effort you put in making your videos! Thank you for sharing! Cheers 🍻
There are some really smart ideas here, again, as always. It's always a pleasure to see you building things.
Jeremy, you are a certified genius and it is a pleasure watching you work!
The face you made looking at the camera. What a personality! I'll never make one of these. Don't have space to make a woodworking shop anyhow. Like the shirt you showed. Have a great day Jeremy!
Simple yet genius solutions and your way to do things properly is so satisfying! Good work!
You sir are an amazing engineer! Thank you for helping with the part I just could not wrap my head around. Your shirt says it all!
YES! Always a good day when Jer shows up in the Subs feed :)
Very concise explanation. I really like your composition and editing styles.
Excellent video, I love the editing and seeing your thought process on design and make up. Thank you.
Best grinder on YT ever created. Honestly.
Jeremy you are without a doubt the most consistently amazing content creator on this platform. Keep up the good work!
Inspirational as always J. This old man loves your work.
Excellent video and process. Also, the timing on the humor is perfect. I just purchased a belt sander that needs repairs and adjusting. Your solution to the tracking and adjustability gave me an idea that will solve my tracking and adjustability problem. I was just checking out a great video with excellent workmanship sprinkled with humor and, "There it is". Much success and Bless you...
Your a very competent person. Awesome build. Thanks for making it easy to build along with
fantastic video - I love your balance of engineering, practicality and fabrication.
Lives up to your usual high standard in every respect.
Fantastic! I hope this grows into something much bigger for you Jeremy! Excellent design thinking!
I thoroughly enjoy your vids not only for the quality of the video and composition but also the content. That grinder is fantastic. I have never made a knife or welded but I started putting notes together. I may give it a try thanks to your series on the grinder. Again.....excellent job!
Young man, very fine work! You are wise beyond your years. Pleasure to watch and learn.
As always, very good video. Keep up the great work Jeremy. Thank for what you do for so many.
As with the other plans, I really want to add this to the build we have in progress now. Thanks much
I'm not crazy about welding, or grinders, or metalwork in general. I watch for your genius. And your way of teaching. And humor. 👌✌️
Your first sentence is pure blasphemy!!!! lol
Hey, Jeremy. You do fantastic work. I’m in the process of building my belt grinder based on your drawings. Thank you for making the plans available to the public! I think you should start making knives. I find it to be an unbelievably satisfying hobby. Keep up the good work!
As a practical engineer, sir, you have no peer! Your work is poetry!
Thanks for the video.It is such a pleasure to watch a young person with such knowledge and passion. The USA needs more like you. Keep it up.
As a welder and fabricator for 45 years it is good to see someone who make things and post them use good structural welding practice, people don't want to grind bevels for the welds but it must be done.. good job.
I dont do stuff myself, I just love watching your videos and your knowledge spreading through my body like a desease. Keep it up!
You continue to make great videos that are fun to watch. Keep up the great work!!
Always keep an eye open for your videos... Liked the "now it's time for some assembly" scene.
Jer always giving us the 411! Awesome work as always and keep up the great work!
If you made more grinder videos. I would not complain. Looking forward to other videos too.
Excellent and thoughtful video as always Jeremy...I think that grinder will probably serve your Grandchildren as well...one great machine...
I'm truly amazed with your skill level... I can't wait to see what you build next. Your video quality is also excellent.
I really enjoyed watching your video. So much so that I subscribed to your channel. I think that your desire to strive for perfection in everything you do is awesome. Precision is an art form all its own. Thank you for being so informative about your process.
I love this entire design
Hooray! Things done with pure reason, deep thought, and not by kludging around looking for some lucky accident for success. Granted, building one of your machines would not be cheap but certainly built with true function, versatility, and reliability in mind. MY kind of machine. Thank you, Jeremy.
Thanks, I'm glad you like it!
I really admire your ability to explain relatively complex processes easily enough so that anyone can understand them. Thanks Jeremy. I really enjoy your channel. Eric central Florida
Sometimes I spend way too long pacing the shop trying to figure out how to word something so it makes sense; I'm glad to hear that's not a waste of time! Thanks!
You just keep getting better and better!
I like the explanation about energy loss. I never thought about that.
Great job on the attachment. I sure appreciate your attention to detail.
You are getting more and more of a "ThisOldTony" vibe to your videos :D Great project, and well explained as always
Yup. Agreed. Old soul, young heart.
Every video is always a high quality treat, very cool.
I've been watching you quite a bit. I've been wanting to make one just like that. Young man you've done a wonderful job and you are smarter than I could ever be. I will be copying yours as close as I can very very great job.
Jeremy you're an awesome instructor!
Great Job! Jeremy, you're becoming a real craftsman/fabricator/welder.
Love your work, and the occasional humor.
That bit with the hacksaw was the funniest thing I've seen on KZhead in a long time.
Outdamnstanding Jer!!! Good job with all of your continued success with this channel and website. And thanks for helping us out along the way.
As always, a great video. I always finde myself hooked to your kind of presentation. Informative, to the point, yet entertaining. To me at least. Kinda digging your style is what I am trying to say here. Plus I admire the craftsmanship that goes into your projects. Two thumbs up! Best Regards, Daniel
Thanks Daniel!
I seriously dont comment on vidoes to often... but this is one of the best belt grinder and work stand ive ever seen.
Thank you!
Jeremy I am impressed with your skills.
Great project Jeremy, you are a great craftsman.
As a knife maker myself I am overly impressed with your belt grinder build and all the attachment tools you have made for it. Very well done.
Thanks!
Loved this project. Such great ideas.
Love the radius jig!
This is my favorite grinder build I’ve seen you really are s freaking genius
Jeremy, also, glad you're not making this into a knifemaking channel as there are definitely enough of those out there. Keep doing what you do!
Great Job Jeremy! I have your plans for the grinder, just have not had the time for the build. You have set the bar pretty high! lol!! Thank you so much! Hope to meet you sometime here in AZ.
Very nice work, thanks for posting!
Thank you Jeremy for another great video. You are a boss in the shop.
Another very impressive video - Well done. I love that the machine tracks perfectly forward and back thats cool
It’s always nice to have a free shop full of professional tools and plenty of perfect scrap metal at your disposal as well as an ample amount of time growing up around tradesmen with a vast knowledge of metal working for you to learn from to “build-your-own” “homemade” sander isn’t it? I guess if I had had all the above I too could build my very own “homemade” belt sander too.
Sorry to hear you haven't tried...
Not gonna lie - I'm overly excited to see the knives you come up with. You sir are a truly brilliant craftsman.
Man you put a lot of thought into that sander. Great stuff
I think this is my favourite video series on your channel :D
Well done Jeremy. I admire your patriotism and desire to use American products. In the UK, to my shame we have largely lost our manufacturing. If the western world bought the products we make ourselves then our economies would be much the richer for it. Well done on a multitude of levels .
