I have been accumulating parts for a 2x72 belt grinder in the DC Knives style.

A slack platen frame and a set of pulleys from Origin Blade Maker, a handful of steel tubing in 2" and 1-1/2", various bearings, shafts, and step pulleys, and an old "2hp" 2-speed pool motor with replaced bearings. Motor is ODP not TEFC, so I will probably set it up with a filter of some kind. This is a toy for occasional use, not a serious daily use production tool, so I suspect the step pulleys and open motor will suit me for a while. I will still keep my eyes open for a nice 3-phase TEFC motor and VFD just in case a deal happens to fall my way.

Not sure when I will actually start building, but it's nice having most of the parts in hand.
