Hi there,
I'm not Victor, but for sure I could help you...
This is Bogdan from Romania.
I'm a mechanical engineer - specialized in the industrial robotic field, 3D designer and modeler (from time to time and some projects I could make the functional prototype too).
I'm doing product design, industrial design, reverse engineering, ideation, etc.
I have over 15 years experience working on various systems/devices across multiple industries, from concept to launch.
1 - I agree with you that you need a belt grinder for welding (I'm using such a grinder with special belts (tetrahedral sand granules) belts at 40 grit for weldings, and it effectively eats the metal...)
I was making a floor support for this machine and is possible to use it as a standing one
2 - let me know how could I be for service to you...
Regards
Bogdan
