I really like that wheel for everything form coarse to fine. It is a bader wheel it runs dead true and I like the serrations.

Looks awesome.
Where did you get the wheels and bearings?Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

I bought the Bader 8" wheel from Jantz knife supply. Originally Posted by Bruno

The tracking and drive wheels are self made. I purchased the bearings and pillow blocks locally at Purvis Bearing Supply, they are a chain of stores in the states. In the past I have bought bearings from Enco and off of Ebay.
If I had deeper pockets I would have bought all Bader wheels.

I had to make a video of the grinder before it gets dirty. It will never be this clean again.

I had fun making the video, I put my tripod in my wagon and wrapped a string around my lazy susan.

I like your video Charlie. I like the way that your bearings are spread out on the rear shaft. I have a no weld grinder very similar to this and one of the things that I have questioned is how close the bearings are on the shaft. room for lots of flex.
Nice job!
