Thread: LOW budget grinder (version 0.01a)

Well, I had a few hours alone in the shop and a couple of grinding wheels.... SOOO I threw together something I've been wanting to try for some time now.

Total, I probably have 10 bucks into this, and IIRC the stones cost me $8

Here is my first go at hammering out the concept of a treadle powered grinding station.


And here should be a video showing it in action

hope the files worked... I still need to tweak some things, and I'm going to make a few additions, but It looks like it's going to work (and I bet I'll rig something with a motor as soon as I get too tired of pedaling )
