Home Made Belt Grinder/Honer.

[Yorkie]

I had the bearings in stock and these were obtained when I worked at Brooks. One day I was walking past the scrap area; well I would wouldn't I? I noticed a very large steel bin and this bin must have contained around half a ton of brand new bearings all going to scrap because they had failed the noise test. I had permission from "upstairs" to raid skips and the scrap so brought a box full of bearings home and still have a few in stock.

Errm, a few less in stock than there might have been because due to Colin's generosity when we met up at the Golborne Swapmeet, some are are now installed in my bandsaw to replace the original ones that had recently all but seized up!
