Shortened the upper tensioning arm this morning and thru a bolt on for a handle. Got a "free" tracking wheel today from a friend who is a knifemaker... Also a belt so I can hopefully get this grinder completed soon. When I started this project I had no mesurements, so I'm just flying by the seat of my pants, looking at photos and taking educated guess's on how to make it...

That seat of your pants method works for me too. Looks like your going to have a nice grinder when your finished. Way to go !!

Well, I fabricated the tracking assembly today. Just gotta drill an tap a hole for the adjusting bolt in the arm and weld the tracking assembly into place... Pillow blocks will be arriving tomorrow but I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to get anything done. Probably more on Friday... In the mean time some more photos to share.

Looking at the KMG setup, I think it would be beneficial to crown the tracking wheel a bit on the sides.

You can crown the tracking and drive wheels with a layer or two of strapping (filament) tape in the middle of the wheels, if you don't have a way to machine them. Looks good so far. +1 for seat of the pants engineering.

Thanks. I was actually thinking about tape but wasent sure if it would work. Guess I got my answer...
Ordered an 8" contact wheel and 4" drive wheel from USAKNIFEMAKER.com with bearings already in them. That should be the last of my parts list... I think
