Unboxing the TW90

In this video, I unbox a new addition to the shop, the TW90, a 2 x 70" Belt Grinder made by Travis Wuertz. It is the nicest piece of equipment I have ever owned. The attention to detail is tremendous and the design and quality of the grinder is unparalleled. Travis did an outstanding job both designing and producing the grinder. The TW90 stands for Travis Wuertz 90 degrees. The grinder easily swivels between vertical and horizontal positions. This is done by pressing a single lever. Once pressed and rotated, the grinder locks into the new position with a confident click. The change of positions is both simple and secure.

The grinder comes with a 2 horsepower motor that is either wired with a 120 or 220-volt power cord. If you choose the 120 variant (single-phase), the power output is 1 - ½ horsepower. The frame is made out of ¼” steel plate. It is cut with a CNC laser, assembled using precision welding, and powder coated in blue. The genius behind the design shows itself in interoperability. Every grinding attachment has an on-board receiver to mount tool rests in either horizontal or vertical positions. A Contact Wheel, 2 X 10" Platen, and Small Wheel Attachment all come standard.

Note, the small-wheels for the small wheel attachment don’t come with the grinder and need to be purchased separately. Two small-wheels can be mounted to the small wheel attachment. This setup can be used for a number of things including grinding a very controlled fuller. A catalog from K & G Finishing Supplies, who sells the wheels, is included with the grinder.
