=================================================================
The machine I have is a Coote belt grinder.
He still makes them. And used to sell a castings kit for the 6 in wheel for
about 190. He says that if he has an interest he could leave some raw
castings out on his next pour and not finish those. I think this was for a
full complete kit though.  He says he used to advertise in homeshopmachinist
mag.

This is his 10" wheel by 2 x 72.  his 6 inch wheel pattern uses 2x 42.  His
idler wheel is adjustable but is also turned where the center is higher than
the edges so the belt pretty much self centers.
