I bet you will find that the linisher will end up being the most used tool in your shop.I have found in twenty odd years of use that I use it several times a day if I am working in my shop.
It provides for a professional looking job in
breaking and rolling edges
dressing the ends of cut of screws and bolts
reclaiming rusted surfaces prior to fabbing and painting
hand sharpening of ( fabricating -not lathe ) twist drills
ditto scribers ,screw drivers, chisels ( both wood and cold chisel )
reducing diameters of screw heads prior to owing a lathe.

Yes I agree it's used all the time and it just makes finishing off parts so easy like just rounding corners off so they look better
You must wear a mask though as it kicks out some metal dust

Yes use it all the time I cut down 6 inch wide belts so one belt makes three but there cheap belts so looking at some zirconia belts
Going to make a permanent stand for it to free up some bench space
Can't get the Isuzu in the garage anyway now the colchester is in there

Nice job. If you make a long platen you could use if for sharpening wood working tools as well.
I have a bought one (Record) and use it for sharpening metal and woodworking tools and shaping steel/alloy/wood etc. I have to be careful to clean out the dust though as I've had wood dust smouldering away after sharpening tools on it! I can use up to 6 inch wide belts on mine but normally split them to 2 inch.

Good job, that's a nice grinder. I've always wanted to build one but I get confused when searching for the right size and type of wheels I need. I have a 2 1/2" Ellis belt grinder I like very much but I would like to build one with a long wide adjustable table so I could grind my lawn mower and bush hog's blades. My Ellis has a short stationary piece of 1" angle iron for a table, I don't like it for long angle grinds.
