Evolution DIY Belt Grinder Kit

Meet the Evolution Hybrid Grinder Faster Build. More Power. Designed to Grow with You. We’ve taken everything we’ve learned from our previous designs and pushed it further: the Evolution is our latest grinder design, engineered to be quicker to build, easier to dial in, and fully customizable from the start. Bonus: it's fully compatible across all existing HouseMade grinder accessories, both forward and backward. The Evolution Grinder isn’t just the next chapter — it’s a whole new book. And yes — it runs both 2" and 3" belts. No compromise. Plate Steel Construction Tab-and-Slot + Duck-and-Slot = Wicked Fast Assembly We re-engineered the entire build using all plate steel for insane rigidity without the extra welds. No jigs. No precision fixtures. Just clamps, wrenches, and a couple hours in your shop and you’re off to the races. ✅ Rigid like the Revolution ✅ Faster to build than anything we’ve ever released ✅ Heavy-duty 3/8" steel where it matters Dual-Belt Compatibility Run 2" or 3" Belts. Swap in Seconds. Every Evolution comes ready to handle either a 2" or 3" wide belt. Just swap out the platen and you’re good to go — no mods, no extra tracking adjustments. ✅ Dual-axis tracking for precision in both directions ✅ Wide tracking + drive wheels support both belt sizes ✅ Surface grinding a billet? 3" makes quick work of it. “The Evolution doesn’t just evolve from the Revolution... it evolves with you.” Up front, the Evolution features dual contact wheels (3" and 6") in your choice of 2" or 3" widths. You pick the setup that fits your shop tasks best. Every kit comes standard with a 7" drive wheel and a 4" tracking wheel, both 3" wide, so you’re getting great belt stability and performance no matter which way you go with your setup. The wraparound workrest gives you more surface area and control, which you can flip around and use the opposite side of when using the grinder horizontally. Not sure if you want to go old-school 2x72 or go wide with the 3x79 option? Both belt sizes are common and readily available, and the build is so modular you can always upgrade to the 3" wide capabilities later by grabbing a set of 3" wide front contact wheels. Don't forget, you can go big with the 3" setup and run your 2" belts on those wheels anytime you want.  Small Upgrade, Big Impact Our new detent pin system is a nice little feature we’re super excited about. It lets you lock the tension arm down, making belt changes way easier. No more juggling the arm with one hand while trying to slide a belt on with the other. Just pin it, swap it, and get back to grinding. Make It Yours Every Evolution kit comes with a powder coated, laser-etched steel ID plate, as well as a custom name plate on the back...and we’ll customize it with your logo or text for free. Whether it’s your maker's mark, shop name, or something personal, it’s your machine --  let's put your name on it. * We’ll follow up with you after purchase to collect your artwork or text before it ships.
