Generation 5 Revolution 2x72 Belt Grinder
We provide the pieces, parts & plans...you weld it up.
The novice fabricator can put this together and have a versatile, feature-rich, tilting 2x72 Belt Grinder that would cost thousands of dollars if it were manufactured.

The second package is a sleeve with the D-plate, motor plate and work rest, weighing about 17lbs.

★★★★★I purchased the Ultimate Bundle with the plans and all the laser cut parts. That is definitely the way to go!
I love the grinder. It went together like a dream and works perfectly. The tracking is super responsive.

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!
No. We now grind the weld seams out of the tube steel for every kit, for the receivers that require telescoping pieces to fit into them.
YES! The Revolution is a DIY build but now we pre-fabricate the tracking hinge and drill, tap, & cut all tube steel.
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...? :)
Set aside 4-6 hours for the build.
