how much do these cost?

[se7enthdevil]

hi all, does anyone know just how much these grindstones cost new?

 

it's 16" in diameter by 80mm wide with a 5" hole in the middle.

 

 

i bought it cheap and i just wondered if anyone knew the price brand new?

White aluminium oxide around that size about £150 to £170. I can't see anything on google in the exact size but not too far out.

that's more than i found on google thanks for that.

 

apparently the seller said it was specially made so maybe that's why i can't find a similar one.

 

i bought it delivered for £65, still in its original box. not bad hey.

What's it fitted to Steve?

nothing at the moment but i have a couple of motors from record lathes that were from another project that never went ahead. the idea is to make my own slow grinder a bit like this one.

the motor runs at 1450 from memory and i just need a couple of different sized pulleys to get the speed down to 600 or there abouts.

Is it not a flat stone grinder for mounting horizontally I dont think there designed for mounting vertically.

i've not had it out of the box yet so i can't be 100% sure but i did feel the edge of the stone and it was smooth as you like so i believe it was meant to be vertically mounted. i can always contact the seller to be sure.

It says mount down on your picture so presumably horizontal mounting. Carefull you do not exceed the max speed rating. In my youth I was shown the results of a wheel disintegrating,

thanks for your concern but i don't think i'll blow it up as it says 1650rpm on the wheel and i only want it going half or even a third of that speed.

 

i did wonder what was meant by the "mount down" but if it needs mounting horizontally then i'll just change the design...
