My first grinder was a KMG clone complete with pulleys and shaft. I felt it was all that was needed..... Until I built my next grinder - still pretty much a KMG clone, except I put a direct drive mounting plate... I had to eat crow on the benefits of direct drive and variable speed. Just no other way to go as far as I'm concerned.
KMG clone I built. Discussion in 'Grinders' started by Grouch, Aug 3, 2013. Grouch Active Member. Likes Received: 32 Trophy Points: 28. Here are a few shots of the KMG style grinder I built. It still needs a few more little things done but works well so far. I have only quickly rough ground a couple of small blades to make sure it works. And I ...

The kmg clone uses more material - it's there in thickness. In my area, the cold rolled is also twice the price of plate or cold rolled. It's all barstock, there is nothing to hole drilling is easy to line up, once you know how.

It's a KMG clone kit, but doesn't come close to the smoothness of my KMG. Makes a big difference when you start getting close to the finish line. Once you add the expense of a quality 8" to 10" contact wheel, arm, adjustable square rest, small radius wheels and yoke, you are going to be getting closer to the price of a higher grade grinder.

I just finished a KMG clone grinder and have been using some old 60grit norzon belts that I got a couple of boxes of for free. They are 96" x6" I have split them down to 2" wide and I built the tooling arm long so I could use these belts. My question is what is the highest speed that these belts ...
The belt grinder I own/use is a KMG clone; not because I prefered it but because I found a set of plans on line and could piece it together on my budget. My contact wheels and some of the other attachments I did purchase from Al. …
Grinder Problems I agree forward to reverse could definitely change tracking, however having said that, I think the closer the tracking is too perfect the less you will have to adjust the tracking wheel, if you do decide to reverse direction! I found out when I built my KMG clone that I was good as far as all wheels being in line. I could make ...

Okay, I am new to the forum and somewhat new to knife making but have so far have made 2 KMG clone grinders and 1 EF-48 clone horizontal grinder. I am starting to get a full shop built up and recently purchased a 9" disk from Rob at Beaumont Metal Works. I would like to do one of the following...

I bought a Grizzly back in the fall but only last week got to use it. I also have parts for a KMG clone that I haven't even started building. I had no idea how much of a difference a 2x72 grinder would make. I am considering buying a good machine now as I am well aware of the Grizzly's limitations.
About a yr or so ago I built a KMG clone using a 2hp, 3450 RPM 1 ph motor with a pair of 4 step pulleys. That gave me belt speeds around 1200 SFPM, 1700 SFPM, 3400 SFPM, and 4800 SFPM - a good range for the first 3 lower speeds. 4800 SFPM was just too fast for anything and grinder sounded like it was going to "take off", but boy did it throw ...
This 2" x 72" grinder features quick change out tool bars similar to the KMG and quick on/off tool table rest that can be used on with any of the attachments. This is not a KMG clone. I think the KMG is an awesome grinder and worth every penny. I've had one for years and love it.
Check out the Build Moe's Grinder on the DVD page of my web-site, also check out the video on the Grinders page. Non KMG clone but more versatile and simpler to build. Let me know if I can help you. I will have some of the DVDs at Quad State next week. Jim Levite Well-Known Member. Sep 18, 2018
You think this still classifies as a KMG clone? 2. ... Too much crown / poorly blended crown will fight alignment. I used a 90* air grinder with some 36 grit roloc discs to blend the crown better and take off the high spots while having the drive wheel rotated by the motor. With that done, i was able to keep belt on at low speed and do the same ...

I have scoured google for the specs on a kmg 2x72, but can't seem to find much info at all. I plan to build a clone of the kmg and need to know the specs. If someone could post a link or share some info it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Gary
KMG Clone/Grinder Plans Due to its growing popularity and high quality reputation, and Mr. Rob Frink's design, the idea is being borrowed and copied by many knife making enthusiasts. Creative minds and monetary conscious knife smiths are inspired by the superb KMG grinder design.

If I had $500 to spend on a grinder, I'd definitely build a KMG clone again though. If you don't kind taking some time scrounging for expensive bits like a 3ph motor and maybe a VFD, and if you have some fabrication skills, you'll end up with a MUCH better grinder. I built my KMG clone almost 10 years ago now and it's still running strong.
