Home-Built Bench-Mounted Grinder And Brush Wheel
John Tesch, Mervin, Sask.: "Here are the photos of my home-built, bench-mounted grinder and brush wheel (Vol. 22, No. 3, page 30). As the story explained, the electric motors from worn out pumps can be converted into shop bench grinders and cutters. You simply remove the electric motor from the pump, saving the pump's impeller shaft to install on the motor's output shaft. Attach an arbor and washers to the threaded end of the shaft so you can fit a grinding wheel or abrasive wheel on the end."
"I made the bench grinder using the electric motor from an old sewage pump, mounting the abrasive cutoff wheel on a stand. I made the brush wheel using the motor from an old water pressure pump."
