Build Your Grinder Step by Step
Step 1: Choose a motor package, add it to your cart, then scroll down to the next step
FastBack 2x72
Our New 1/4 inch Steel Frame With Independent Forward and Reverse Tracking
Step 2: Choose a Drive Wheel for your motor, add it to your cart, then scroll down to the next step
Which Bore Size should you pick?
If you are supplying your own motor, choose the bore size that matches the shaft of your motor. Our single speed motors have a 7/8” shaft and our variable speed motors have a 5/8” shaft. If you are getting a motor from us, we will make sure your drive wheel matches your motor even if you accidentally choose wrong.
Which Outer Diameter should you pick?
4 inch: (We recommend this size for single speed grinders)
Pro: Lower Cost
Con: Lower belt speed (3800 feet per minute) does not remove metal as quickly
Pro: Lower belt speed reduces burning while working with wood and allows for some small wheel usage on single speed grinders
Note: We recommend this size for single speed grinders
7 inch: (We recommend this size for variable speed grinders)
Pro: higher belt speed (6600 feet per minute) is great for metal stock removal
Con: Must be slowed down with a variable speed drive in order to prevent damage to bearings on wheels under 1.5" diameter in a small wheel holder
Con: Higher Cost
Step 3: Choose all Grinding-Surface-Accessories you’d like to come with your grinder, add them to your cart, then scroll down to the next step.
You can add more than one. (Note: No accessories are automatically included with the frame. They must be added separately)
