The motor came in Monday, but I was out of town till yesterday evening. So, I wired it yesterday, and mounted the motor and vfd today. This thing is really nice running, so far I'm running it at around 40% at the fastest, but am starting to become more comfortable with it. My camera was dead on battery, so no pics of wiring or mounting, but I do have finished photos.
Giving the grinder a test run
I ordered a glass platen liner, it came in today, and after grinding today, I can see why the glass platen will be nice, it got hot! I also grabbed some other stuff, a handful of earplugs, the cool ones with flames, and some glow in the dark paracord.
And from Amazon I ordered some safety goggles, and a respirator, as well as two extra filters.
Hey, be aware that most cinderblocks will explode if they are too hot. Also, I am starting smith and I built a forge out of granite stones. I really need some help starting out. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
