The BA Shredder 2×72 Belt Grinder is a professional grade 2″ x 72″ grinder for the DIY world!

With 20 years of product design and prototyping experience, the BA Shredder 2×72 Belt Grinder Build Kit offers a cutting-edge design. This unique design sets it apart from other DIY grinders on the market.

We positioned all major components of the BA Shredder on the same primary datum plane. This design eliminates tolerance stack-ups and ensures consistent performance, unaffected by welding or fixture capabilities.

The shredder benefits from optimized material thickness and reduced weight, achieved through finite element analysis. These features provide maximum performance and rigidity.

The BA Shredder’s multi-axis tracking system offers robust and effortless operation. It allows for perfect tracking in both forward and reverse, with fully adjustable primary and secondary axes while the motor is running.

In summary, the BA Shredder Build Kit offers unmatched performance and convenience, making it an ideal choice for DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike.

What’s New in 2024 for the BA Shredder 2×72 Belt Grinder

We now use a 1/2″ steel plate for the D-plate, drilling and tapping it for enhanced performance. This significant change increases rigidity and reduces the amount of hardware needed to complete your build.
The motor plate/primary datum plate has transitioned from 3/16″ thick to 3/8″ thick, doubling its strength and rigidity. This reduction in vibration enhances the overall grinding experience.
The tracking system has taken a massive leap forward with this new updated design.
- The improved tracking system includes comfort grip ergonomic knobs, which eliminate slop in the forward-facing adjustment knob. This design makes the system much more responsive.
- We replaced the steel tubing with a massive 1/2″ thick steel arm, which features the largest hinge on the market. This provides unparalleled rigidity and consistent tracking.
- The handle has been moved back 10″, allowing for much more room for slack belt grinding.
All other frame components have been thickened from 3/16″ to 1/4″ thick, increasing the rigidity of the entire grinder.
The size of the main body has been shortened, providing more room for tooling arms.
We now handle all the machining for you. There’s no longer a need to drill and tap any of the parts.
A 4″ smooth rubber contact wheel now comes standard in the base kit.
