    Runs super smooth and quiet with basically no vibration. Even though it's aluminum, there's zero flex or rattling - feels rock solid even when you're really putting it to work.…

    Got this belt grinder for our farm shop and it's been awesome. The machining quality really impressed me - everything fits tight and feels solid, you can tell they put real care into making it.

    Setup took maybe 20 minutes tops and it was ready to roll. Runs super smooth and quiet with basically no vibration. Even though it's aluminum, there's zero flex or rattling - feels rock solid even when you're really putting it to work.

    Love the tracking system and the ratchet belt tensioning - makes changing belts quick and painless. All the controls just make sense.

    But honestly, what made this purchase special was dealing with Rich. He was incredible - answered all my questions before I bought it, made sure I got the right setup, and followed up several times after it arrived to check how everything was running. You just don't get that kind of service anymore.

    First belt grinder we've owned and I'm really happy with it. Thing's built to last and performs great. Would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a solid grinder for your shop.

    Keep up the fantastic work Rich!

    Super Happy for deciding to purchase my first professional quality 2 x 72 belt grinder from Torus CNC. The owner Rich Answered all my questions and fast and he stayed in contact with me assuring everything went smoothly. I decided to use Taurus CNC because almost everything is made from high quality aluminum. That means no rust! I’m using a misting system that gets water everywhere. The set up took 20 minutes literally. Everything came preassembled and very well packaged. If you’re thinking about buying a new professional belt grinder for knife making or custom fab work this is the spot you won’t be disappointed.

    Despite being lesser known than some, the M90’s fit and finish are top-notch, and the grinder represents an exceptional value.…

    Read the whole review by David WileyShow the short version of David Wiley’s review

    I purchased the M90 about three weeks ago and finally got some time to put it to use. Throughout the buying process, Rich stayed in touch, answering questions and providing updates. The grinder even arrived a little sooner than expected; well packed and ready for use right out of the box.

    Quality grinders aren’t cheap, and if you’re in the market for a 2x72, you’ve probably researched all the main contenders. Despite being lesser known than some, the M90’s fit and finish are top-notch, and the grinder represents an exceptional value.

    Rich was a pleasure to do business with, and I have absolutely no regrets purchasing the M90. Highly recommended. Five well-deserved stars.

Why this one

Set the angle once. Grind all day.

Order the work rest

  • 6×16-inch table with a 5/16-inch steel top mounted to a 3/8-inch steel bracket

  • Tilts for acute bevel angles and locks with two 3/8-16 adjustment handles

  • Rotates 180 degrees for horizontal grinding, includes a 1.5-inch aluminum tooling arm

On its own arm

The table comes on its own 1.5-inch aluminum arm, so it slides into the receiver and out again without unbolting anything.

One arm per attachment. Swap in seconds.

  1. Deep flat platenFour inches of throat for deep slack-belt work.12-inch solid 1.5-inch aluminum tooling arm
  2. Adjustable work tableSet the angle once. Grind all day.1.5-inch aluminum tooling arm
  3. Small wheel attachmentReach the curves a platen never will.20-inch small wheel tooling arm, solid 1.5-inch aluminum
  4. Contact wheelPick the wheel that fits your curve.16.5-inch solid 1.5-inch aluminum tooling arm
  • Fits every Torus grinder and most 2×72s built around a 1.5-inch arm
  • two knobs lock each arm

The arm-mounted attachments each ride their own 1.5-inch solid aluminum arm, so they drop straight into any Torus grinder and swap in seconds.

Eligible attachments and wheels save 5% at 2 units, 10% at 3 units, 15% at 4 units, 20% at 5+ units. A grinder counts as one unit; only eligible parts are discounted.

Values marked on the figure: 5% at 2 units; 10% at 3 units; 15% at 4 units; 20% at 5+ units; 1/2 to 1.5-inch rubber small wheels.

Set the angle once and use the table as a reference for each bevel.

Who it's for

Built for the work you actually do

Anyone who wants bevels that match side to side: beginners learning to hold an angle, production makers running batches, sharpeners doing cleavers and mower blades, and daggers with four bevels that all have to agree.

What’s in the box

  • 6×16-inch work table with 5/16-inch steel top on a 3/8-inch steel bracket
  • Two 3/8-16 adjustment handles
  • 1.5-inch aluminum tooling arm

Turn it for horizontal work

The table rotates 180 degrees for horizontal grinding, and every Torus tilts flat in four moves: loosen the handle, pull the pin, swing it, pin it.

Tilts without tools

  1. Loosen the handle
  2. Pull the pin
  3. Swing the chassis from vertical to horizontal
  4. Pin it
  • tilt lock lever
  • 90-degree tilt on a pin

You go from grinding a bevel to a flat horizontal pass without opening the toolbox.

Values marked on the figure: vertical; horizontal.

Straight answers

Questions I get about the work rest

How do I switch to horizontal grinding?
Loosen the table with the handle and rotate it 180 degrees. The deep slot lets you support the work against the flat platen in either position and use different spots on the belt.
How acute an angle can it hold?
It tilts far enough for the fine edge angles used in sharpening and precision beveling. Set the angle, lock both handles, and it stays.
Will it fit my grinder?
Fits the Nova, Nebula, Classic and Steel closeout, and most other 2×72 grinders built around an industry-standard 1.5-inch square tooling arm. If you are not sure about yours, email me the arm size and I will tell you.
How fast does it ship?
In-stock attachments usually ship from my shop in Sterling, Illinois in seven to ten business days from time of order. A more detailed delivery estimate will be given when you order. You get a tracking number the day it goes out.
Can I return it if it does not work for me?
Email me first, within two weeks of arrival. Returns are approved case by case, carry a 25% restocking fee, and you cover insured return shipping. If there is a workmanship problem, I will work with you to remedy it.

Work Rests & Grinding Jigs: Manufacturing Repeatability

The difference between a maker who fights every bevel and one who repeats them at will is rarely talent — it is a reference surface. Work rests and jigs are how angles stop being a feeling and start being a setting. Here is the system, from bare table to full bevel jig, and the honest…

Belt Buyer’s Guide: Which Abrasives to Actually Buy

Belts are the single biggest recurring cost in this hobby, and buying the wrong ones wastes money twice: once on belts that wear out fast, and again on the extra time spent fighting a dull or mismatched belt instead of actually grinding.
