Don and I have given thought to different projects - excellent projects with no interest from the audience at less than cost.
Sharpeners are creative people and want to do their own project(s)?
Others want a turn key package?
We once did the Delta SA120 and the Grizzly H 8192 into a 3 or 4 speed belt machine.
Mr. B shared with us that it was a "heavy sucker" about 42 pounds. He owned a Prius!
Mr. Jerry Hossom (knife maker in Duluth Georgia USA) told us the machines foot print was to large for apartments.
Both men were spot on, spot on they were.
Then we talked with Bearing and Service in Shreveport and they made up a complete kit less the machine for 65$ and over a period of time they shipped out 76 kits - pulleys, key stock, belt with freight included.
The Viel/Penn is so portable and with a small foot print. Who knows?
Physically and mentally I am not there at this time in life. On the other side of the coin my thought is that you could be the man and or our Moderator Mark?
We modified and shipped 37 complete Deltas or Grizzlys.
The person that wanted a turn key machine shipped to us their new machine from wherever or whoever purchased. TRUST!! we immediately shipped them a new tested and ready to go machine - no one ever cheated us - TRUST!!
My thoughts are that we could get the same thing working with the 3 3/4" wheel with set screw and 0.59 bore or a motor with 1/2" shaft dia and 3 3/4" wheel with set.
For you, Don, Mark, Mr. EOU and or any other interested person I, will assist in any way possible. It is a darn nice machine (Viel/Penn Gen III). May be Dan Brown will step forward?
The Kalamazoo SM 1 is even easier to attach a Penn motor. Knowing what I know the SM1 does not lend it self to scissors and other items - the Viel is a more versatile play toy.
