P. Burns Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 While looking for 1.5 x 1.5 x 20" solid steel bar stock to mount my small diameter wheel to, I found that I have to purchase a whole crapload to place the order. My question is...Is anyone interested in spare tooling arms for their KMG grinder? Beaumont sells them for $80 drilled and tapped. I was thinking about selling 8 or 9 of them for $25-blank only no drill or tap plus shipping. I would be able to bring to Batson's in two weeks if their is any interest. Thanks, Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Forge Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 you can save some money useing 1.5 x 1.5 x 20 square tubing and weight, have rigged up mine that way and wouldnt trade it for solid steel bb Today, I am becoming who I once dreamed to be. www.cadillacforge.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJPratt Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 or as another option i can sell you a 18" piece of bar for around 25+ shipping. i can get it in a small quantity from a local yard. ~~DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIXFOOTER Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) If you change your design a little bit and use a pinch bolt on the tool are, you get a quick change tool system with 1 are and several tools.

P. Burns Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 Thanks Caddy! I brought home a 19" piece of 1.5 tubing earlier this week and hadn't even thought of using it. Took me 5 minutes to drill, a quick trip to the hardware store and my 5/8" wheel is working already. Appreciate all the knowledge on this forum.

Cadillac Forge Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 glad it worked out for ya, the only thing i did in addition was weld a plate steel on the end, and ground the end rounded off, no sharp edges to cut your self on bruce Today, I am becoming who I once dreamed to be. www.cadillacforge.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer0419 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) I wouldn't trade my KMG for the world but the tooling arms are way overpriced. Here is a link for square tubing at excellent prices and you can order as little as 2 feet. http://www.metalsdepot.com/products/hrstee...cc=$LimAcc Edited March 23, 2009 by hammer0419 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
