Belt Grinder wheel 2×72″ set for knife grinders – Aluminum

Features

Superior to cheap hand turned wheels

BEWARE OF WHEEL SETS WHICH ARE DISHED: SUCH WHEELS CANNOT BE REVERSED FROM TIME TO TIME TO PREVENT UNEVEN WEAR, ESPECIALLY ON THE TRACKING & DRIVE WHEELS. THEY ALSO USE SHORTER, LESS STABLE AXLES. A set of:

• Two, 2″ diameter precision turned aluminum idler wheels with sealed bearings.
• One, 3″ diameter precision turned aluminum tracking wheel with sealed bearings.
• 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 & cheap hand turned wheels have a v-cut, no crown. V-cuts wear away very quickly & are very hard on belts).
• For DIY style grinders like GIB, EERF, NO WELD etc. Also work well on any professionally manufactured 2×72″ belt grinder.
• The wheels are 2-1/4″ wide to comfortably accept any commercial 2″ wide grinding belt.
• Bore of the bearings is 1/2″ so you can use any 1/2″ diameter bolt as an axle.
• The bearings are easily replaceable when worn.

We use these wheels on the top quality grinders & flat platens that we manufacture & our design has been thoroughly tested to withstand even the harshest knife making environments! We do not paint, polish or anodize our wheels as this just adds cost & comes off basically on your first use.
