I made this new set of wheels for my 2x72 belt grinder because I wasn't satisfied with my old bearings, this time I used 6201 type.

SKF are very good bearings. We use them on industrial equipment and they hold up for years. Sometimes we create a shell sleeve type washer to cover the bearing seal from harsh abrasive material, which might be good for a belt sander application. But these are good quality bearings in my experience.
I have seen plastic shelled bearings before too in dirt and weather prone equipment, only ever had to re-grease them. Everything else on the machine though...
Excellent, I had the same idea for casting wheels for a 72 x 2 grinder, (when I get a metal lathe that is) they are a ridiculous price. Love the tin can mould, clever!
Ciao! La molla che ho usato è molto rigida, presa da una lavatrice, la tensione del nastro mi sembra adatta :) Ma non ho visto molte levigatrici oltre la mia! Comunque non ho problemi di vibrazione se non fosse per alcuni nastri che girano malino :')
Around 1.5kg for the finished product! But make sure to melt more :) even 3kg if you can! You don't want to run low when you have everything melted already xD
where did you find the bearings and how much did they run you? Only reason I didn't machine them is because the bearings were as much as a set of drive wheels.
how did they 608 bearings fail? how long did they last? my design has 608s and now im reconsidering before the build. It seems they are sturdy enough ...but guess im wrong?>!
Sounds like a lot of work xD If you really are on a budget get some longboard wheel, they come ready to be used with bearing and everything, sure they won't last forever, but either will the hdpe probably :') If you are thinkig about hdpe wheels I suppose you have a lathe right? I guess you can find some cheap aluminum round stock if you look at steel scrap yard! :)
Black Beard Projects no i dont have a lathe hahah i was going to do it with a rasp and belt sander but but i failed so im going to make wooden wheels and put skateboard bearings that i have.
Thank you brother! :D I did that because my old wheels where my very first lathe project, so not very precise at all... This time I'm sure my wheels are true all around since I turned them on a shaft! At least that's what I hope :')
How much do you figure you save by casting your own raw stock? It looks like you had less porosity with the latest casting, did you do anything different?
It's very specific to the application. But a few good rules of thumb for aluminum - fast RPM of the workpiece (lathe) or cutting tool (mill). Aluminum, being softer material, is better to cut with a sharper tool and a more aggressive clearance tool. If you're using indexable carbide, see if you can get a tool with a small nose radius and a chip breaker. The last thing I will say is that in my experience, 9 times out of 10, the reason for chips not breaking is because the feed is too slow. When I first started on the lathe, I fed everything slow. But eventually realized that too slow is just as bad for your tools and parts as too fast. So play with feed rate. And try spinning the aluminum a little faster. Cheers
Haha! My friend fuzzy wuzzy I got ya covered: ruclips.net/video/LBuUOO3qn30/видео.html But I bet you know Makercise already. He is the man when it comes to diy metal lathe
Thank you brother! It took me quiet some time since I don't always know what I'm doing xD made all three in 10hr or so... I guess a machinist would make a set like this in 1 hr or less! Hehe :D
Please make sure that you wear safety gloves and a respirator while working with your aluminum!!! My nephew made custom parts from aluminum in his workshop in Colorado...without protective gear...first he started having trouble with his memory...and sadly he ended up commuting suicide at 38 years old!!! His autopsy showed that his brain and body had toxic levels of aluminum!!! I don't ever want this happening to anyone else!!! God bless you!!!
Are the wheels just cylinders or is there a crown in them as well? I could probably make this myself if it's just flat cylinders but i have no clue how to turn a crowned pulley precisely on a manual lathe. I dont have digital read out either, just a scale in imperial (I use metric) and lots of run out so its kinda hard to be repetitive.
Complimenti, come al solito. Piccola richiesta: a proposito di come hai posizonato i cuscinetti, un progetto per una semplice pressa DIY ce lo proponi? ;)
Black Beard Projects next time turn the speed of the lathe up a lot higher and you will get a way better finish. It might scare you a bit at how fast it’s spinning but trust me. It will be worth it

WD-40 improves the cutting when working with Aluminium, BB, :))
Good video, you just know I will watch a casting and machining video. ;))
Thank you Mark! :)
Ever considered stripping the fat wheels off a cheap skateboard? Or cutting the axles in half between the wheels.
Any chance you can post up some dimensions? I plan to build a grinder soon, just don't know what dimensions to give the machine shop for those wheels.
Really great work. Love seeing back yard projects brought to shiny-precision.
What a way to turn trash to treasure. Great work :)
Thank you my friend :)
So much simpler than the rest of the 2x72 grinders on youtube. Thanks, subbed
Truly ingenious. It's amazing what a few (or dozens) of aluminum cans can do.
Thanks man! :D
Wow didn't know you got a lathe! Every time i see your videos i think you must be my long lost brother who is a couple of years ahead of me!!!
Haha! :'D I bought that lathe less than a year ago, it really needs some tune up :')
This is the reason why I first build my forge! Gotta love ya man! Thanks for the awesome vid!
Thank you brother! :)
Great job! and this quality... CRAZY!! :)
Thank you my friend :) :) :)
This is awesome! I'm always awaiting your next video Black Beard! You're in my top 5 on RUclips!
Nice build brother! 🤘👌 Good stuff! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you my friend :)
Absolutely brilliant work, as always, my friend and the videos you're producing are broadcast quality!
Thank you a lot my dear :) :)
Pretty sweet when you can make your own replacement parts!!
Soooooooo odly satisfying to watching the lathe work! Lol
Really liked this new editing :)
Thank you mate! :)
Awesome work...love the casting!
u r a true Engineer !! xoxo
Nice work man. And good music as usual
Thanks brother :)
Hey, great stuff!
Thanks!
great job my friend those turned out excellent.
Thanks you sir :) :)
Excellent experience 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I hope the new bearings last longer than the old cheap ones. At least you can salvage the aluminum from your old wheels.
I hope that too my friend :) Sure I will, next time I'll fire the furnace they will end up in the crucible right away xD

Unless you happen to be that poor tin can. Oh the Humanity!!
For real! :) Thank you a lot my friend :)
ottimo lavoro, mi ha intrippato come pochi.
Haha! Grazie :)
I like how he opened the bearing box. Mangled it.
Very nice job, thank you for the video!
well done mister! enjoyed the process as well as the video!. best way to cast an aluminum rod :D
Haha! thank you my friend :)
Niceee! this will help me with my belt grinder build👍👍
Hell yeah :D More belt grinder!
Great job with this video. Be blessed
Great work
I couldn't tell from the video - did you crown the pulley(s)? I'd love to hear your thinking around doing so or refraining.
I was wondering the same thing?
Nice job !
Thanks!!
Awesome!!!👍👍
man a lathe looks fun lol
Sure it is :D
Nice job :)
Thank you brother :)
good job from Argentina
Thank you sir :)
Esse cara é fera.
Very good.
Excellent job, thats a harbor press ?, where I can get one ?
Do the wheels need to have a rounded face to keep the belt straight?
Con che misure hai realizzato la ruota biconica della levigatrice?
Puoi dire le tolleranze che hai usato per il foro del cuscinetto?
Bravissimo! 🔝
Grazie carissimo :)
@BlackBeardProje good work, nice
Thank you brother :)
how many kw is your motor and how many revolutions per minute
Hey mate what is the glue that you used to hold the wheel on the shaft for machining
Looking good keep it up
Thank you :)
Nice!!!
Thank you my friend :) :)
salve vorrei sapere se quella molla di tensione basta a tenere ben teso il nastro, non hai vibrazioni?
Ciao! La molla che ho usato è molto rigida, presa da una lavatrice, la tensione del nastro mi sembra adatta :) Ma non ho visto molte levigatrici oltre la mia! Comunque non ho problemi di vibrazione se non fosse per alcuni nastri che girano malino :')
Hi, you tell me how much aluminum you used to fill the tin of preserves. From already thank you very much.
Around 1.5kg for the finished product! But make sure to melt more :) even 3kg if you can! You don't want to run low when you have everything melted already xD
thank you very much
great work very good ciao
Thanks!! :D Ciao
Fundiu o alumínio e fez a peça 10👍
Superbe vidéo merci pour le partage :)
Avez vous un lien pour acheté les roulements a bille?
I got mine on ebay, the bearing type should be in the video description :)
Very Good vídeo
Thanks!
where did you find the bearings and how much did they run you? Only reason I didn't machine them is because the bearings were as much as a set of drive wheels.
Bought them online,:25€ for a pack of 10 :)
Complimenti!
Just wondering if you want to sell a set of four of these wheels, you know for cheaper than anyone else. Great videos by the way.
If you would have to guess, how many cans were that? XD awesome outcome man!
Подшипники должны в ролик не из под пресса заходить, а от руки, посадка должна быть свободная, что бы при нагреве было куда расширяться.
how did they 608 bearings fail? how long did they last? my design has 608s and now im reconsidering before the build. It seems they are sturdy enough ...but guess im wrong?>!
I am planning on making those wheels out of HDPE. Do you think it is a good idea?
Sounds like a lot of work xD If you really are on a budget get some longboard wheel, they come ready to be used with bearing and everything, sure they won't last forever, but either will the hdpe probably :') If you are thinkig about hdpe wheels I suppose you have a lathe right? I guess you can find some cheap aluminum round stock if you look at steel scrap yard! :)
Black Beard Projects no i dont have a lathe hahah i was going to do it with a rasp and belt sander but but i failed so im going to make wooden wheels and put skateboard bearings that i have.
i am going to make the belt grinder for free using a free motor a scrap steel from my uncle. Well maybe not free but as cheap as possible hahahah
I see :'D Good luck with your build mate :)
Use a razor sharp HSS tool for aluminium, with a bit of WD40 for lubricant. It'll come up like a mirror.
Yeah I need to try :) I'm a complete noob in machining (as you can tell) :')
PCD inserts too
GOOD STUFF! How come you did not just remove the small bearings from your current wheels and enlarge the holes on the lathe for the new bearing?
Thank you brother! :D I did that because my old wheels where my very first lathe project, so not very precise at all... This time I'm sure my wheels are true all around since I turned them on a shaft! At least that's what I hope :')
How much do you figure you save by casting your own raw stock? It looks like you had less porosity with the latest casting, did you do anything different?
My process is always the same :) This wheels have pretty much the same finish of many other casting I did
What kind of adhesive did you use on the arbor? And did you heat to remove?
I used plain ca glue! :) And yes with just a bit of heat it can be removed easily :)
Hi Genius, I was told of bubbles in aluminum castings, did this happen to you? Or how did you solve it?
Hi man :') It does happens a tiny bit every time, I don't have a lot of bubbles because I degass the molten aluminum with sodium carbonate :)
Ok!!
what Type of Belt Grinder is that? I am looking to buy a new one soon. make and model is what i am asking.
Evan Hollandsworth it's one he made in a previous project, not a store bought one.
wobbly
what you have used for degassing ???
I always use Sodium Carbonate for degassing and "lite salt" (a mix of Potasium Cloride and Sodium Cloride) as flux :)
Ótimo trabalho.
Obrigado :)
very nice 😎
Thanks bro!
every time I turn aluminum it seems like I can't get the chips to break, what am I doing wrong?
I'm sorry man I have no idea xD Don't know much at all on machining :)

u have showed me how to make alot of cool shit but now if u can show how to make a metal lathe id be all set!
Haha! My friend fuzzy wuzzy I got ya covered: ruclips.net/video/LBuUOO3qn30/видео.html
But I bet you know Makercise already. He is the man when it comes to diy metal lathe
Nice work. did you melt aluminum cans?
Nope, pretty much only aluminum extrusion :) Don't know if it would make any difference, probably not!
Seems it solved your tracking issue.
Hola cuál es el diámetro de los rodamientos que usaste en tus ruedas? - Hello what is the diameter of the bearings you used on your wheels? Thanks!
Hi! I used 6201zz bearing :) You can see all the spec if you search them :)
Nice
Thank you :)
what bearings did you use?
Nice job man. Time cost?
Thank you brother! It took me quiet some time since I don't always know what I'm doing xD made all three in 10hr or so... I guess a machinist would make a set like this in 1 hr or less! Hehe :D
Shame on you..ahah
eccezionale!
Grazie! :D
Please make sure that you wear safety gloves and a respirator while working with your aluminum!!! My nephew made custom parts from aluminum in his workshop in Colorado...without protective gear...first he started having trouble with his memory...and sadly he ended up commuting suicide at 38 years old!!! His autopsy showed that his brain and body had toxic levels of aluminum!!!
I don't ever want this happening to anyone else!!! God bless you!!!
ciao! volevo chiederti dove compri le lastre di acciaio al carbonio per i tuoi coltelli?
Compro su ceroniknives-shop :)
grazie!

Are the wheels just cylinders or is there a crown in them as well? I could probably make this myself if it's just flat cylinders but i have no clue how to turn a crowned pulley precisely on a manual lathe. I dont have digital read out either, just a scale in imperial (I use metric) and lots of run out so its kinda hard to be repetitive.
The two front wheels are straight. The tracking wheel has a slight crown to it, I made it using the compound slide on my lathe tool post :)
Подшипники не надо вставлять прессом. Нужно использовать газовую горелку. ;-)
Great music
use a higher rpm with carbide.
Yeah I know :( my lathe can't run faster right now, I'm looking for a faster motor :)
Complimenti, come al solito.
Piccola richiesta: a proposito di come hai posizonato i cuscinetti, un progetto per una semplice pressa DIY ce lo proponi?
;)
Grazie Andrea! :) si è un bel progetto! prima o poi ci proverò! Conosci il canale "Made in Poland"? Ha appena fatto una pressa molto bella :)
No, non lo conoscevo, molto interessanti i suoi lavori!
Aspettiamo con ansia i tuoi, grande, complimenti ancora!
What model lathe???
i knew there be a ulterior motive you just wanted to use that sexy press :D. but on the more serious note what type of lathe do you have?
Eheh :) I'll use it whenever I can! My late is very old, should have 50+year.. I know almost nothing about it unfortunatley :(
Black Beard Projects next time turn the speed of the lathe up a lot higher and you will get a way better finish. It might scare you a bit at how fast it’s spinning but trust me. It will be worth it
ideia muito boa
Thanks mate!
You still have the old wheels? i am interesed of buying them :)
Nope! I'm sorry... I melted those donw for another cast :)
Show!! I'm gonna to do It
الك ساعة بتعمل بش شقفة لتحط فيها لورمان 😂 عنجد جدبة هههههه
Why such a low RPM?
That is as fast as my lathe is running xD I'm looking for a faster motor
Oh haha oke
dove li hai comprati i cuscinetti
Su ebay :)
ciao ti volevo chiedere di quanti chili è il tuo incudine?
Ciao! È di 75kg. Ho un video sull'incudine se ti interessa: ruclips.net/video/gJf5mzJTYOo/видео.html
Don't forget to eat the beans first
Sure!
Can you make aluminum train wheels
Не уже ли по обработке не видно, при течении надо керосином мазать!?
non è da tutti complimenti
Grazie Cindro! :)
ma se posso chiedere dove hai imparato a fare tutto ciò?
Ho imparato tutto guardando tanti video qui su yt e provando :)
beh allora ti posso solo che fare tanti complimenti hahahaah
Wykonałem podobnie.
How about a live Q&A when you reach 50k subs or 100k subs?
Sure! I can provide more awkward content anytime xD
muito bom.
