Heat Bluing Steel for my 2×72 Inch Belt Grinder Project

Author: | Categories: Art, Projects No comments
I’m in the process of building a 2″ x 72″ belt grinder powered by the permanent magnet motor from an old treadmill. The business end of the grinder is a pair of rollers and platen that supports the sanding belt. I milled these out of some 3/8″ steel plate

Damn! I’m bluing everything from now on!

Interesting! That discoloration is evidence of a ground off weld telegraphing through the heat bluing!
