A few more pics.
I mentioned my "improved" grinder. The platen that comes on this 2"x42" Craftsman belt grinder leaves much to be desired. It flexes when you put pressure on it, which means it's harder to get consistent grinds on both sides, as I don't press evenly with both hands yet.
So I sketched myself up a new design using some scrap I had around: 3/8" thick aluminum angle bracket, some 1/4" thick hot rolled steel, and a shower tile.
Put it all together and I've now got a super ridged platen!
That'll work until I build my 2"x72" grinder....
