Dude that sucks. I'm currently (slowly) replacing a drain in basement shower here. Previous owner thought he could just glue a shower drain into an existing floor drain................... no words. ?‍♂️

I decided to drill a bunch of holes to make breaking up the concrete easier (no local demo hammer rentals avail?) I need to finish this but ugh.

I think you just one-upped me. Yup, you definitely one-upped me. But I did spend all of last Thursday digging up a septic tank in the hills on our property to figure out why it was plugged. I got super lucky though, it did not stink at all. Wasn't expecting that.

Nah, my leaky drain didn't cause any mold!

Digging is the worst

I did some horse trading with a good friend that acquired a couple of these belts sanders from the IPP power plant in Delta. Home depot doesn't sell any 3 phase anything and it was the weekend so the commercial electrical supplier in town was closed so i made a 3 phase switch so i could test this monster out. They had the switch on the wall at the plant so the unit didnt come with one.

Made a anti tip plate for the belt grinder. It takes alot of force to tip in three directions but the motor side doesn't take much to tip over. I dont plan on bolting it to the floor so this was the only logical option.

I tapped the 5 holes as seen. The bolt in the corner will be an adjustable foot to get rid of any rocking from uneven surfaces. Scrap 3/8 plate.

Welded 3 nuts on the opposite corners from the tapped corner to make little feet to contact the cement so it wont rock.

Its super stable in all directions now. I can push as hard as i want into the belt and it wont move or wiggle. Its close to 300lbs.
