Belt Grinder
Add tooling arms, small wheel attachments, glass platens, curved platens, custom work rests, and whatever else you can dream up.
The Revolution Generation 4 grinder is the most modular industrial DIY beast on the market.
Not yet. But we are in the process of working out ways to supply more of the components needed to finish the build.
Stay tuned!
Not at this time. The Revolution is a full-on DIY project from the ground up.
Not at all. We have had many Revolution builders learn to weld just for this project! And if you don't have a welder, maybe you have a friend who welds and owes you a favor...? :)
We’ve had skilled fabricators do it in as little as 4 hours -- but typically, most builders knock this project out in a weekend or two.
• Base Plate
• Work Rest (easier to build)
• D-Plate (lower pivot point giving 2" more above the work rest)
• now includes a tracking mechanism (parts, you have to drill and tap the holes)
• All the builder has to source is the wiring (we now have wiring kits available here), wheels, motor & VFD.
• Optional Fusion 360 CAD file as an add-on.
Average Total Cost: $1075 USD
Cost Breakdown:
• Ultimate Bundle: 75-$595
• Wheels (4 total): $215
• 2HP Motor: $200
• A variable speed motor controller (VFD): $85-$375

How-to
This video is a complete walkthrough on how to build the Gen 4 Revolution 2x72 Belt Grinder.
I love this thing! The build was pretty straightforward. I followed the instructions and picked up couple new skills along the way. I'm not a knifemaker, I'm just an all around maker. This thing is a beast!
