would this run a belt grinder?

It runs a Compressor with a belt. I guess it depends on how much resistance there is when your grinding. It should start with no problem.

This motor has been running 6 days a week since we got it, with no troubles. If the RPM is correct for your application, then it would be a good choice

Oh, yes. It is built very well and would handle a belt sander. Not sure about a grinder.

Its a big motor to do that with, but there is more than enough power if you could manage to mount it somehow..

No idea, but a darn good question. I have not purchased the grinder yet, but am interested in doing so. This may sway my purchase.Good Luck!!

I haven't personally but it would be easy to do so. I bought some extra belts off eBay that had much coarser grit that would easily strip metal in a hurry and I plan to use those belts to do my lawn mower blade. I currently use my angle grinder which throws a lot of hot, nasty sparks.

Good question...I would say yes...though you would have to experiment with the setting to get the right grind.

Yes. It's only a five inch disk so it would take forever. Renting a larger grinder that you wheel around would be more appropriate for floors

Probably not until full load on the motor. Mine is on a homemade belt grinder, works great. The only time I've blown the breaker (20a) is when my cutoff saw is being used simultaneously. Hope this helps

Hi mark. Without knowing " how fast is enough" for what you are doing, I would hazard a guess that there is a problem with your grinder. They should have a max rotation of about 10,000 rpm max.

Hey, Tanner We're old school here so we sharpen lathe tools by hand. But the belt and drive wheels on this machine are steady and don't jump around, so they might be right for the job to give you a consistent grind. This is also the quietest, most reliable belt grinder we have yet to find. We're hoping Kalamazoo starts making a 4" belt grinder as well.

It should be fine. Just don't let it run too long without anything to grind.

It should work fine. Haven't tried it myself. But it works for different size grinds.

Yes it will. I actually returned this one for another one because the latching mechanism does not hold the unit on the grinder very well. There are no tabs to fit in the groove. I found one online at the Home Depot by Milwaukee that worked awesome that will work with a 4" to 5" grinder. It has a clear removable edge piece and has a vacuum adapter that fit my shop vac. Ultimately to answer your question, yes as long as your grinder does.

I think it would, but could throw lots of bark. It could also take off lots of material below the bark. Judging by other posts, it should work. I use it on an angle grinder for my wood carving (periodically). Remember, on a grinder it will be fairly HIGH RPMs. Dave

No, to operate this grinder you need an air compressor and is too big for that job I better recommend a Dremel tool it's very handy and it works with 120 Volts like any appliance in you're house.

Yes it does, that's how I run mine and works great. Don't get overly aggressive using the grinder as it will take your battery down more quickly.

Yes! Works great with one issue. We have the little brown/greed/red plastic ones. (Not metal) They do give you one of theirs though (a little better design too). The issue is that this grinder always grinds too much, even on setting "1". So you have to stop it manually after 5/6 seconds. If you don't mind that, it's a lot easier than refilling those from a bag.

Sure it will work because it is variable speed but the efficiency will depend on what your project is and how aggressive you can be... it's not a belt sander you know. You will sure enjoy it though... Just make sure you don't skimp on quality sand paper since the paper does most of the work...

You could try. The grounds really get stuck in there. Mine died after a couple of years, but while it worked, it was a great grinder.
