Thread: Slowing down a Grizzly

You can do anything if you make it work. A neighbor of mine has constructed belt-driven grinders powered by washing machine motors. One could make any sort of grinding/sanding apparatus with a power source and the right combination of belts and pulleys-which can be stacked like a drill press for multi-speeds. Or like a bicycle multi-gear drive, which would require a tensioner to use a single belt length.

Think outside the catalog.
