Belt Grinder Tracking Wheel for 2×72″ knife making grinder – Aluminum

Features

WIDER THAN CHEAP HAND TURNED WHEELS

• Precision cnc turned aircraft aluminum tracking wheel for 2×72″ belt grinder.
• The wheel is 3″ in diameter & crowned to ensure accurate belt tracking. (4″ tracking wheels offer no advantage, they’re heavy & soak up energy unnecessarily).
• We make our wheels 2-1/4″ wide to accept any commercial 2″ grinding belt.
• Includes sealed bearings which can easily be replaced when worn.
• Bore of the bearings is 1/2″ so you can use any 1/2″ diameter bolt as an axle.

BE WEARY OF CHEAP HAND TURNED TRACKING WHEELS, THEY HAVE A SHARP V INSTEAD OF A CROWN. THIS V IS DUE TO MANUAL MACHINING RESTRICTIONS, THEY CAN’T MACHINE A CROWN ON A HAND LATHE. THE V IS HARD ON BELTS, UNTIL IT WEARS AWAY PREMATURELY, RENDERING THE WHEEL USELESS. THE HAND TURNED WHEELS ARE ALSO ONLY 2″ WIDE. We use these wheels in our top quality grinders & have tested them extensively. We do not paint or anodize our wheels as this just comes off basically on your first use.
