Post by: Stonedog on May 02, 2009, 12:56:40 pm

In true po'boy spirit....I am making mine own taper grinder!

I have it all set....the correct angle and the whole nine yards....

What I lack is the motor!

OKeedokee.....I did some diggin' around....

A sewing machine motor works like a charm!

I am gonna put together a tutaorial when I build it in a few weeks!

Instead of paying 130$ plus shipping for a woodchuck.....I can build one for less than $40!!!!!

If you can find an electric weedeater motor just install a dimmer switch and there ya go. Just remember to start the dimmer switch off real low when you plug in the wire. Mike
