Yes it's all bolted down. All I have to do to clean it is roll the belt off of the grinder pulley and take 4 nuts off and the whole grinder comes off. I've been using the grinder for several years but had it going from the grinder pulley straight to the motor. It worked good but was going way too fast. I got all the info online to build the speed break with the pulleys to slow it downLooks interesting. It's bolted to the plank of wood... Right? How you are going to clean it?
Thank you sir! I'm pretty proud of it. Lol I'm an operator at a oil refinery now but I did do concrete work for several years. How in the world did you figure that?Nice work on that Mike . I know several guys from work that run a set up just like that . They do 100's of pounds at a time .
Concrete finisher / flat work for a living ?
Guard is definitely next on my to do list lolIt looks great ! You might want to place some type of a guard over the pulley and belt assembly.

You can buy the grinder from northern tool for I think around $70. I spent about $60 on the pulleys and bearings. I spent about $50 on oak lumber but didn't have to do that. That was just something I wanted to do. I could have put it on a piece of a 2x12 laying around and saved that money. The belts were around $25. Bolts, nuts, and a piece of 1/2 inch shaft was about $20. I already had the 1/2 hp motor laying around the house so it didn't cost me anything. So I've got around $225 or so in itWhat did that set up cost you? Can't wait to see some action shots...

L ol I definitely need to stay off the beer if I'm going to be using the grinder. But with that said I also have the power ran through a foot pedal switch so I can turn it on and off with my foot to be able to use both handsI think a longer feeding tube to keep hands and fingers away from that auger. Grinding and beer could be a hazardous combo. RAY
I'm hoping to run a nanny doe through it this weekend. I'll try to videoBe interesting to see how well it works!

Just the tip of one finger and it can suck your whole hand into it immediately!
