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 plattens that
we manufacture & our design has been thoroughly tested to withstand
even the harshest knifemaking environments!
We do not paint, polish or anodize our wheels as this
just adds cost & comes off basically on your first use. Please also have a look at
our other listings & search OriginBladeMaker on Youtube for some other fun
stuff.
