I like to do bench grinders

do you sell them?

Very little merchandise is sold here on HMT.net A lot of members sell plans for different projects, I don't recall saws, there probably are belt, well as wheel grinders. Also plenty are posted, giving deep insight to design considerations. A large percentage are built on the fly, with scavenged components; nobody expects you to make your own ball bearings...

My appreciation of work by h7eh7e and Vyacheslav Nevolya is their methodical fabrication process. Reminds one how sketching is introduced, whatever final shape is, that is composed of simple geometric forms. They are using readily available material to build what normally are castings. I'm envious regarding extended shafts most of all.
For some reason, commercial bench grinders have too little space between wheel to motor case. Personally, most off-hand grinding is form tools for lathe or flycutters, especially radius cutters. After minimal wear to wheels, rotating a left hand bit gets impeded by motor bell.
Is it just me?

These electric motors are 3 phases 380 volts.
I have assembled here such scheme of work of the electric motor from a network of 220 volt.
