Surface Grinder Attachment For My BIG Belt Grinder
Making a surface grinder attachment and permanent magnet from start to finish.
Surface grinders are used to make things flat. This DIY one I built is capable of grinding flat within 0.1mm (more like 0.05mm) wich is enough for what I'll use this for, I might be able to get better results with finer grit belts but all I have for now is 40grit and it's already adequate for my needs.
Permanent magnet is made of 20 strong neodymium magnets size 50x10x5mm and can hold at least 10kg of pulling force overall.
Linear rails are 500mm MGN12. Probably not the best kind of slider for this application but it works for now, we'll see how they stand time and dust.
I designed this myself but I have been inspired by @RedBeardOps for the magnet construction and by @BIGDOGFORGE for the hinged thickness adjustment. They both have great videos about their surface grinders so I highly suggest to check them out if you plan on making something like this yourself.

Ok i was going to sleep now but after watching this i want to get back to my workshop and try this very ingenious
Q1 R
yep since the shop and YT, there is no sleeping/ Even when I give up and try to sleep I dream of what my next tool will be.
Hot damn, this build was so good man! So many brilliant additions! The custom shaft, the pouring of the chuck and leveling of the magnet with epoxy... the feed mechanism that is spring loaded. Gosh darn, truly an excellent build! I'll be sharing this one for sure.
As soon as I. Saw this video drop I thought of you, James! You beat me to it. 👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻
@@sudo_nym Man this was an excellent build. Can't say it enough. I shared it up on the bladeforums thread for SGAs
@@RedBeardOps 😎✌🏻👍🏻
You and Make it Extreme share a common theme: you make the tools you need to make cooler projects which means you can make more tools leading to even cooler projects. It's awesome watching you get better and better.
They are both excellent - but He is better than Make it Extreme - in my opinion
I must say you have gotten quite skilled at this casting business, it's not an easy talent to acquire. Thanks for sharing!
I always watch your videos for a kind of enjoyment that is different from the usual entertainment I go for. They are all very soothing, honestly. I've watched some of your videos to sleep. Basically what I'm trying to say is thank you. Your works are such fun to see.
Wow! There is no end to your goodness! Your skills are outstanding! Thank you for sharing your videos.
Black Beard, that is a great add-on to anybody's belt sander, you sir are very smart. One of these day's I'm going to make myself a belt sander, then make this attachment to go with it. There are so many uses for it, card scrapper's for wood working, homemade knife blade pitch & shim stock to name a few. Thanks for sharing with us, great job.
That's genius, very impressed by this awesomeness! That precision must be sooo nice to have
What precision?
@@dalekify to be able adjust everything to suit the work piece and make blanks super flat using just a belt sander and nothing fancy
Ingenious, your projects never disappoint. This one is the best yet IMHO
Great work, and I love the flattening of the scales using the attachment! Kudos!!!
Legend has it, Blackbeard is still flattering objects to this day... Great project!
He flatters objects by building things with them!
I don't know how long I've been watching your videos but I find your work and skills fascinating! I wish I had a fraction of your knowledge and skills! Amazing, dude! Keep up the great work! 🍻🤘💜
I love it!!! Such a simple design! Well you make it look easy..! Lol you’ve definitely inspired me on a lot of projects
Wow, man, that cast, perfect. Great job!
I’ve rarely seen something as cool as this , well done it’s an awesome work !
Very very clever ! You saved a bundle of money by doing that. Smart man!! Rock on brother !
Bloody brilliant. Hands down my favorite channel on KZhead!
Very impressive! I was surprised by the accuracy you got out of the hand built grinder. Nice job as always on the video
Flatness is real! Very hard to achieve consistent flat surfaces with projects. Your design is the best I’ve seen yet. Very impressed sir
a really nice feature added to the backstand. well done.
Thank you for showing us your HUGE belt!
Nice project. Small suggestion: You may want to think about replacing the magnet with an electro-magnet which is powered up when starting the grinder (or via switch). That way you easily can remove the workpiece and it also makes it easier to clean the metal-dust.
You are a genius there's no way I could ever think of stuff like that I just couldn't
I LOVE this video. So ingenious and well done. Thanks for sharing this with us.
in the belt business for 30 years in the uk that is the best machine and fixture ever
It's fantastic. you are a genius. It's amazing to see so many different techniques in one video.
This change just got better and more useful 👍👍
I like how you supported the chuck rail on both sides. Fight deflection.
I watched most of your videos , you're just AWESOME 👍 Love 💗 and respect from Iraq
Great job 👍 I will bring this idea to my shop 🤩 thanks so much for showing us 😊
