Popular Post Geophy Posted September 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2022 Great choice in tool, up there with one of the most common tools I use. One thing to pay attention to is that ideally you want to be doing your linishing over a rubber wheel is much quieter and leaves a better finish. Alot of the cheaper ones arent really linishers as such they are just belt sanders stood upright. With a bit of trimming you can rotate then to face outwards instead of upright but having an aluminium roller to linish against is a bit shit. https://www.bunnings.co.nz/ozito-240w-bench-grinder-and-belt-sander_p0323486 ^is your cheapest option at $120, they are fine very underpowered and need sander roatated to get best use out of them. They do work though and if money is tight they are a good stepping stone machine. https://www.machineryhouse.co.nz/g1590 ^ Is an option thats come into the market in the last couple of years, good design with belt pointing out and you can see the rubber wheel at the front. About $550. https://nzsafetyblackwoods.co.nz/en/linishall-bench-grinder-bg8l-each--01670411 ^About $700. Are a very good machine is what I have at home, takes a bit to spin up but has a fair amount of grunt. Are a very common machine most engineering shops have multiples of them scattered everywhere. Not so good for production material removal as are lacking in power but good for everything else. 10/10 would trade again. As far as buying 2nd hand I would be cautious and know the value of what gear is worth new the market is cooked. Was watching the bigger brother linishall 3ph linisher on trademe, it sold for $450 more then what they are worth brand new. See the same thing happen at machinery auctions as well. Main thing to take away is that whatever you buy get good consumables. Most grinding/sanding tools issues can be masked to a certain extent by installing good consumables. I buy most of my consumables through PPS, there red VSM Ceramic linishing belts are awesome last for ages and keep there edge well and arent that expensive. Dont even bother using the brown belts you can get from aliexpress and what they come with from the factory they suck shit. Might as well rub your parts with a brick they both remove about the same amount of material. Let me know if you want more info or if ive missed something. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 The ones I used often from way back when are a kiwi made linishall. Design had not changed in years. Rugged and they work really well, plus the long belt lasts a long time - important in a busy engineering workshop. Also good that you can stand right next to it and not be bending your back which is handy when you might have 100 items that all need a skim. But fucking expensive!!! * so I'm collecting the bits to fabricate my own because I miss not having one about.. https://nzsafetyblackwoods.co.nz/en/linishall-wright-linishing-machine-038-each--03054296 *like 5 k11s worth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geophy Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Yep we had at the same where I did my apprenticeship too, is a bloody awesome machine. Height adjustment is awesome and heaps of power too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datlow Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 What about these ? 2hp Maybe too many covers/guards https://nzsafetyblackwoods.co.nz/en/linishall-heavy-duty-belt-linisher-1220-100-p1-each--01501193 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Not bad those for the money but the wheels are quite big in diameter and awkwardly shrouded which limits your ability to grind tight places and small items. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put it in neutral and let the clutch out, anything happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Sounds like it could be in two gears at once? My ro-tang (eleventy billion years ago) has bolts anchoring the selector forks to the rods. One undid itself after a pretty hefty high speed run. (The 2/3 one, but in nuetral) Maybe one of yours has come out in gear? So when you hook 1st or reverse, it's in two gears, and cant go anywhere. Theres plates on the side of the gearbox which afford access to the forks. (Likely not in the car though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrstar Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Sounds a little like 2 gears selected.. Has anyone been fiddling with the gearbox? How much does it rotate before coming to a stop? I'd start by running the prop shaft by hand with the box in neutral and go from there.. Maybe disconnect at diff end if you can't tell which end is stopping the turnage. Edit : too slow I didn't copy @RUNAMUCKhonest.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
