If it ain’t right, put it right!
Made 2 x inserts at 38mm, bored out to 38mm, put a thin line of high strength loctite 638 bearing retainer around the circumference and pressed them in before parting and facing off one end. I need to bore it out to 35mm again now for the bearings.

I have made 3 linishers to date. One being a replacement for the first one, and at that time I had 2 workshops, 50km apart. I use an uncrowded rubber front contact roller, so you can grind on the wheel. You can get the grooved contact wheels as spare parts, or from Aliexpress.
The linisher is such a handy machine for deburring cut steel etc

Great project! I enjoy watching your progress.
I just wanted to share a video with you that I saw some time ago- really neat way to make the drive wheels for a belt sander.
Maybe this will be useful to someone.

Got my first bearing pocket done, made another arbour, pressed it into the roller, spun it up, cut the other end off and sunk another bearing pocket, pressed off the arbour and seated the bearings in loctite before pressing together with a 10mm bolt inside so I know the centres are spot on.
Next up was to take off my side plate flip it over so it would allow mounting on the vertical (leaning back) then once proven I marked the other frame piece and replicated the holes before bolting on to the grinder. Next up was to take the 60x60 roller and turned it down to 50x50 and replaced the side belt retainers. I’m gonna fix them on with 3 countersunk screws in each side as I’ve seen these come off on their own once they’ve been removed.

Not much progress but still going forward. After turning down and narrowing the drum I drilled and countersunk the side fences to retain the belt. Waiting on CSK bolts at the moment so used what I had. Still clears the frame.
For me this sort of thing makes owning a lathe essential when owning a bike. Just a simple retaining washer.

And here is one of my linishers which got published in The Shed magazine. https://the-shed.nz/home/2018/8/28/make-your-own-linisher?rq=Linisher
drive roller for 2" wide belts, ever thought of utilising one of these?

That is a great find. Tim shows great technical knowledge that is also very practical. Really impressive and inspirational.
