Home made belt grinder

My home made belt grinder with platen attachment. I also have a polyurethane wheel (made from a transport wheel), and I'm planning to make a small wheel attachment.

To determine a motor you need to figure out the following.

What can you mount on the output shaft for the motor you have?

What duty cycle are you going to need?

What HP are you going to need?

What power do you have available?

What is the output speed in RPM's that you are going to need?

How is the motor going to mount on your machine?

I am sure there are other things to look for but those are the basics.

Definitly a sturdy machine LOL
