What's a linisher?
Hard to tell but it doesn't look that "small" to me.
OK, never mind, I Googled "linisher" and now I know. Never heard the word before, now I can't wait to use it.

Just designed as I went but had to use 48inch X 2 inch belts as I already had some and Im a tight git
It runs about 3000rpm and its a 1HP 240v motor its not variable speed
No plans just made as I went
mfletch, Try to do the best you can and that's good enough

Very useful bit of kit. The top (1st) photo the two parts that slide together, did you fabricate them or are they square tube ?

The inner box is just stock but the outer one is 2 lengths of 2x2 angle welded together doing that way you can get a tight fit and just grind the access angle off
