Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Very well done. So what did you glue the I'm assuming vinyl down with? I like the magnet idea. You must have thousands of hours in this thing!

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Very nice!
|
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Thank You Henry!
The Vinyl is glued with Weldwood Landau top cement,holds way better than regular contact cement. As far as the HRS.....I have no clue where its at :lol: Thanks Robert! Mark |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Hey Guys, Not alot of work on the truck recently.
I have been busy building a 2x72 belt grinder for the shop that I really need. If you want to see the building of the grinder let me know and Ill post up pics. Mark |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Homemade grinder?....
|
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Heck yeah, I like shop built tools and pictures!
|
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
That has been a big topic on garagejournal as of late.... I've been considering it as well.

Here a 2 shots of the basic chassis and stand.
I'm using 2 1/2" square tube 3/16th wall ( wanted 1/4) but they didn't have it available. These grinders need to be heavy duty to help with vibration. The tooling arms that will slide inside the chassis will be 2" and 1/4" wall. The tube at the top will be the tensioner assembly and it will have a lock on it to hold it down to remove belt easily. The stand will have adjustable feet with rubber to level it. It will also have wheels on the rear to make it easier to move around the shop Mark |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Gonna be nice I'm sure.....are you making so you can change idler dia sizes to do diff size radius?
|
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
looks super stout!
|
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Greg, The platen assembly can be removed and then use the other attachment to do different radius. I wont do that right away,but maybe down the road.
|
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Thanks Russ.
It's already getting some weight to it! |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Just getting caught up on this. For the kick panels, what type of base material are they made from and how thick is it? Also, how did you stick the magnets to them? Thanks, and of course, excellent work!!!
|
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
The kick panels are made from 2 layers of the plastic sheets, glued together.
The magnets get sanded with 36 grit and then epoxy is used to glue them in place on the interior panel of the truck. Then a 2nd magnet is glued to the plastic panel so they attract to one another. The panel is only 1/4" thick. Mark |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Its a polycarbonate sign grade plastic 1/8" thick.
I found it at Regal plastic. |

Here are the polyurethane wheels I'll be using, 4" with bearing's.
I made some plates to mount the wheels to the stand. The last pic is of the tracking wheel adjuster. Works on a pivot using the knob. Mark |

pic 1. The platen assembly is from ameribrade.
Pic 2. The grinder basically all mocked up. The motor is from grizzly 1hp 3450 rpm Mark |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
super nice!
at 3450 does the belt want to walk off? i dont have any experience here so just asking |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
That is a good looking sander. You should post the plans you used to build it. Very nice.
|
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Russ, Thank You.
the belt will move no matter what RPM, that is solved by the tracking knob on the upper wheel. |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Thank you Robert.
I didnt use any plans,just alot of searching on youtube to come up with a design. If you like I can draw something up with some measurements. Mark |
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Turned out great Mark..now its time to create a sanding dust storm in the shop..
|
Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Thanks Greg!
Yes it eats steel like M&Ms :lol: |
