Should work just fine. The top picture looks like the splash shield is lower then the disc but the bottom picture looks like the splash shield is higher? Could be an optical illusion from the angle the pictures were taken. Engineering question though. Is there any difference between adding the pulley between the two pillow block bearings VS putting the pulley at the bottom of the shaft below the bottom bearing? Just wondering if that would make any difference in vibration transfer. I have seen it done both ways. jamesp has a bunch of home built stuff maybe he can chime in too. Chuck |

Sorry I know this is an older thread, but- I had a couple questions for the builder. What are you running for a motor on this? I'd be curious to know the RPMs and H.P. I'm going to be building one soon, but money is very tight right now so I'm trying to scavenge/reuse as many components as possible. I've seen video of smaller cheap tile saws being modified into flat laps with (apparent)success.

Bumping this one up for inclusion on the DIY page. I hate to think how many good builds like this I miss when I'm not paying attention  |
