Brodbeck - Basic Package - Titling 2 x 72

Brodbeck 2x72 Belt Grinder – Basic Package

The Brodbeck Basic 2x72 Belt Grinder Kit is a versatile, professional-grade grinder chassis designed for knife makers, fabricators, and metalworkers who want a customizable machine with serious grinding power—without the hassle of welding.

This bolt-together grinder frame includes everything needed to assemble a complete chassis: Mareko platen, oversized adjustable tool rest, and premium aluminum wheels (2" platen, 4" tracking, and 5" drive with 5/8" bore). The frame is compatible with both NEMA 56 and 145 face mount motors and supports a wide range of configurations.

It now includes the adjustable workrest ($330 value!). The adjustable work rest has been designed for maximum tilting in both directions as well as height adjustability. It is great for cutting false edges, bevels, clip points, octagonal handles, and fullers with our fullering tool. The work rest is constructed of 5/16 and 3/8 thick plate steel to ensure durability and stability. The double pinch design was chosen to eliminate accidental rotation typically observed with other adjustable tool rest designs that use a round bar and set screws for adjustment. The adjustment handles also allow full adjustment without the need of tools for ease of use and maximum efficiency.

Key Features:

• No welding required – easy bolt-together design

• Built-in mounts for NEMA 56C/145 face motors (base mounts no longer supported)

• Compatible with 1.5 HP single-speed or 2 HP variable-speed motors

• Choose between 115V or 230V input options for the KBAC 27D VFD

• Variable Speed Kit includes start/stop switch, VFD, wiring, and connectors

• Made in the USA with high-quality steel and precision components

Ideal For:

• Knife makers, blacksmiths, and metal fabricators

• Makers looking to customize their setup with their preferred motor and accessories

This kit is perfect for shops with their own motor solutions or for those looking to expand with Brodbeck’s powerful 1 HP single-speed or 1, 2, or 3 HP variable-speed motor and VFD options. Please note: Brodbeck does not offer support for third-party motors.
