Part 3: DIY Angle Grinder Tennis Ball Machine...
All parts and tools were purchased through Amazon, eBay, or Home Depot. I liked the idea of using angle grinders as my motors for some reason and attaching the bench grinder wheels couldn't have been easier. (As a quick note, I left 34mm of space between the wheels which is exactly half the diameter of a tennis ball. It seems too narrow but it gives great results.) When all was said and done, I probably could have got a new factory made machine for about the same cost with what I ended up spending on parts and tools (including a lot of waste from trial and error), but building it was actually a lot of fun and I got to add a few new tools to my garage. What I didn't expect was the amount of time it would take to put together. It seems like a fairly simple project, but it ended up being pretty involved. This was my first welding project and I have no real electrical training so someone with more experience could probably do it a lot faster, but it took me about 4 months. I'd only recommend building one if you're doing it for the fun of it. Although if you don't care about it being able to move vertically or horizontally, you could simplify it quite a bit. Overall, I'm happy with the result and have enjoyed using it with no problems so far. I'll have to keep you updated on how it holds up long term. If you have any questions about a specific dimension, I'd be happy to answer them or provide my rough sketches of the circuits I made. I'll provide my parts and tools list in the comments.
