How the Electric Motor Mounts to Your Grinder

Updated on Nov 14, 2026

Match the motor mounting arrangement to the specific grinder model and motor. A 56C face, foot mount, shaft size and overall motor dimensions describe different aspects of fit.

Check before ordering

  • Read the current grinder’s motor requirements and model-specific installation guide.
  • Confirm the motor face/flange and mounting-hole pattern.
  • Check shaft diameter, keyed connection, drive-wheel fit and clearance.
  • On a tilting chassis, check the full motor envelope through the intended tilt movement.

A shared frame designation alone does not establish clearance for every motor. Do not treat a general bench-size estimate as a mounting template.

Existing motor or older grinder?

Email support@diktatorgrinder.com with the grinder model, motor label, overall dimensions and photos of the mounting area. Toobinator arrangements and older assemblies may differ; confirm the actual components before buying hardware.

Use the installation guide for your machine. For the MAX, see Diktator MAX 2×72 Tilting Belt Grinder Setup Guide; for the Bandit, see Bandit DIY Assembly Instructions. After assembly, check alignment using the instructions for your setup.
