The length and weight of the chuck and grinding pad are putting a strain on the front motor bearing. With your machining skills you could make an arbour for directly mounting your sanding disk to the motor shaft. Just got a cheap motor in Egypt so I'm going to play with that. Thanks for the vid.

I have used old mud flaps from a semi to make vibration and sound dampeners. Works pretty good cut to size.

@strube1369 yup, i have seen those used on full size grinder stands

@WeaponCollector thanks Mike. still more work to do on this little grinder. I hope somebody out there can take my idea and make something like it to their benefit.

@MrMyshed thanks travis. i am still going to do more work on such as rubber feet and a support under the motor to help dampen the vibration. its not finished yet. but it still works as it is. thanks again from Bob

@enganear thanks very much. soon i will add some rubber feet on the bottom plate i will get those feet from a old home stereo. i will also add a shim directly under the motor for more stability and sound damping. thanks again from Bob
