RedBear90 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I'm looking to find a bench cutter and sanding belt combo. I know I can easily find one on Golfworks but, I was doing some research mainly for cost purposes. I noticed that most setups only come as a grinder/sanding belt combo. My question is, on these setups, can the grinding wheel be replaced with a cutting wheel?

You just might have to add some spacers as the cut off wheel is much thinner than the grinding wheel. 1 Quote Driver, TSi1 10* Stiff Flex 3 Wood, SLDR HL 17* R Flex 5 Wood, SLDR 19* R Flex 7 Wood, F6 22.5* R Flex 939x 5 hybrid Irons, 699 Pro's S Flex (6 - AW) JB Wedge 56* Wedge, CBX 60* Putter, Marksman Fang 35" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGolf Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I can be done you need to know the size of the arbor as Tom said above and how the grinder or future cutting wheel is secured to the shaft. I can be free wheeling or it wont cut. In the past I had an arbor extension that held the cutting wheel. I put the wheel a bit further from the body of the unit which helped me.

Bobbers Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I've always felt safer, for some reason, using an inexpensive cutoff or "chop" saw that has a base on which I can rest the shaft I'm cutting rather than doing it as a freehand on the wheel process. 1 Quote PXG 0211 12* Paderson Kinetixx A flex PXG 0211 5 and 7 Woods Paderson Kinetixx A Flex PXG 0211 5 and 5 Hybrids MMT A Flex Cobra 7 Hybrid A Flex PXG 8,9,PW,GW Vista Pro A Flex Cleveland CBX 54/12 Edel EAS 4 with BGT Stability Tour Shaft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a novice at club repair and building, that is probably something that I would look into. I would consider myself intermediate/advanced in club repair and building. Most setups, wheel and belt combos aren't "freehand" per se. In the setups that I have seen and used with a cutting wheel on one side and a belt on the other, the cutting wheel has a small platform that you put the shaft on as you push towards the wheel. Nonetheless, I appreciate all the advice! 1 Quote TM Stealth+ 9 (8.25) Tour AD IZ 6X TM Stealth+ 5 (17*) Tour AD IZ 7X TM SIM Max 3 Nippon GOST 90S TM P7MC 4-6, P7MB 7-P Modus Tour 105S HS TM MG3 52, TM MG3 TW 56, 60 Modus Wedge 115 Spider X CS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulledabill Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I got a cheap cut off saw from Harbor Freight which works great for me for steel and graphite. I also have a upright belt sander I can prep tips on but prefer to do it by hand at least on graphite as I don't do a ton of graphite anyways. This particular belt sander doesn't turn slow enough for ferrules so I do them by hand.
