Started my grinder build today. Using the nwg plans but modifying them. I haven't got my wheels form Sunray yet so it's not complete. I've also got to find a metal work bench.

I don't know what you're spending on wheels and a platen but I know I spent over $500.00 bucks building my first one on just wheels alone. Here's one on Ebay and all you need is a motor under $500.00 That's the best ;price I've ever seen on a DYI grinder. In fact I just bought another platen a couple of months ago and spent over $200.00.
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
Nothing wrong with DYI tools I save a lot of money doing that.
This is my next project I'm going to do with my other grinder; I'm going to build a surface grinder like this one.

The most expensive part was the KB vfd to run the motor ($400). But it will be fully variable speed without pullies.
