Belt Grinder:

This is a Bader BIII grinder that I converted to 2 hp variable speed with a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). That means the motor is three phase, but the input voltage is, in this case, 220 single phase. This gives me true variable speed control up to 3,600 rpm. I built a heavy steel table with hinge plate that allows me to turn the machine 90 degrees. This is very handy for use with a small wheel attachment with work rest or even a flat platen with work rest--excellent for profile grinding. This is a very versitile package.
