Grinder in a box!

All the wheels in the platen and idler arm are meant to be mounted on a 1/2 inch bolt.  If you use something different, you may have to adjust the hole size.  A good source for wheels is www.usaknifemaker.com

You can get smaller wheels, idler wheels, contact wheels, larger wheels as well as belts there.

The grinder in a box is designed to use a motor with a 56c frame.  If you have a motor with a different frame, it may or may not work.

Wayne Coe is now offering motors and VFD's to work with 3 phase motors for variable speed.  More information can be found at his website at www.waynecoeartistblacksmith.com

The prices listed for the wheels are the prices when I last edited this page.  Those prices may change without warning.  I only sell the grinder in a box kit.  All wheels are from from www.usaknifemaker.com.  The price I have for the motor is from a local supplier.  Check with Wayne Coe for a better price.  The misc hardware is an estimate from what I had to buy from my local hardware store.
