I have a Delta 23-700 wet grinder with a vertical wheel. I have a lumpy wheel because it was left in the water too long. It's not all that useful as a grinder (at least for me) so I'm thinking about taking it apart and using the motor to run one of the Jack Edgar (Timberwolf) belt sander designs. I'd like to make a 2" sander but the motor is only 1/5 HP. I think most sanders use 1/4 HP. Is the motor too weak?
OK, that was one idea. Got any better ones?
