Bought this wheel as I needed something a bit more robust. This wheel has not disappointed and the bearings are VERY easy to replace which I appreciate immensely.
This works great with my tilt table to achieve very consistent grinds.
Stop reading this and just buy it. You won't regret it. I sure haven't
I gave 4 stars because I had to drill one hole because the bolt would not fit!
This is a solid, quality kit and that was a fun build. I ran into a few issues with the belt tracking/alignment due to missing spacer nuts. Reached out via the customer service email and they sent me everything I needed.
Hi there! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed building the kit and that our team could help with the spacer nuts. Thanks for sharing your experience and happy grinding!

Hi Glenn, Thank you for leaving a review for our Diktator XS 2x72 Tilting Belt Grinder. We are glad to hear that the machine is working well for you and that you were able to find the perfect motor for your needs. Happy grinding!
I still have yet to put it together we are cattle ranchers and spring is busy. But I can’t wait till I get a chance it looks ranch worthy ( bullet proof ) . We only buy good American built to support our efforts and I’m thinking you are spot on. Continued at a later date!
Its a bolt kit its good. I know I couldn’t have run to one of the big box stores, but this way I knew you had them in stock, and its just what i needed. Thank you.
I got it thank you for helping me track my order. The parts are ofvery good quality, fit and finish is very good. I also wanted to say I purchased the DIY 2x72 grinder. Im am by no means a welder but the pieces fit so well, that, i was surprised at my own welding. I’ve wanted a 2x72 belt grinder for a long time, I went through a 1x30,and a 4x36, both very under powered, and belt for both cost almost as much as the 2z72, I wish I found your site sooner, oh well better late then never
Wheel is excellent, runs true. I gave it four stars cause,there was so much machine chatter on the wheel, that it looked used. The part was new, other than that I would’ve given it five stars.
I like the fact that you can get an excellent 2x72 belt grinder, and not take out a second mortgage on my home, granted you have to do a little welding, but you get the satisfaction of building it yourself. Thanks Diktator Grinders, for an amazing 2x72 fof an affordable price.
bolt not long enough given the offset of the frame. had to source a fully threaded 1/2-13 x 4.5 SS bolt to apply correct spacing with jam nuts and mount to frame. instructions not available, but then again, not needed. however a picture somewhere explaining the intended mount would be nice. i have bolt going through wheel into frame... and as I said, additional SS jam nuts and washers to space out enough to meet belt
Have not put it together hopefully soon like it small and powerful!
Great product,great price
I needed this part for a custom grinder I'd built a while back. Been using a car back hatch strut lol. This little guy is PERFECT. Not only that, but Diktator was amazing with their customer support, the shipping was incredibly fast and delivery even more impressive. If I ever buy a pre manufactured belt grinder, it will 100% be a Diktator grinder. Thank you all so much. Best, John B. ~ NWPA USA

Not as “true” turning as the 10” wheel I bought a few years ago. Even with lower grit x belts you can see highs and lows through the belts on the serrated rubber. A lot of wheel bump with it

I wanted to reach out to you and commend you for a stellar product! I purchased the Mini Diktator over a year ago and it has easily tripled my production. The only thing that I would venture to ask for in future models would be a longer travel in the hydraulic arm, simply because I use a variety of belts (some that stretch more than others), and need to adjust the tension often.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to write a review! We are thrilled to hear that the Mini Diktator has exceeded your expectations and has increased your productivity. We appreciate your feedback and will definitely take it into consideration for future updates. Thank you for choosing our product and for your support! Happy grinding!
Great fit and finish. The set screws included are a little bit too short but it’s nice that they are included.

I use this daily. I absolutely love it. I did add a different mount bolt for blade changes to make it easier on my hands.
Hi there! Thank you for leaving such a positive review for our Portaband Table. We are thrilled to hear that it is making your daily work easier. We appreciate your feedback and we will definitely consider your suggestion for the mount bolt. Thanks for choosing our product!
I recently bought the mini diktator for knife making an f 1 hp motor with VFD. After running this motor I found out that 1 hp motor with VFD wasn't powerful enough to do what I needed it to do, so I sent it back purchased their 2 hp motor with VFD. This motor and VFD combo was the perfect combo for knife making. During the exchange process diktator customer service was great. Their turn around time receiving and turning around to get me my new motor and VFD combo was fast. What I also like is that they carry all the accessories that I need for my belt grinder, so I will definitely be buying from them in the near future. Again great and fast customer service. You won't go wrong from buying from them.
