Its 1/2" effective thickness ensures compatibility with standard D-plates, while included Grade 8 hardware guarantees a secure, professional assembly. Designed for slack belt grinding, this plate delivers enhanced reach and stability, making it an essential upgrade for serious knife makers and metalworkers. ## Description D-shaped backing plate for flat platten assembly, this one with even deeper reach for slack belt grinding. Wheel mounting holes are 1/2"-13 precision tapped to ensure that axles are perpendicular to the plate. the slots for a flat platten mounting bracket are 1/4" wide & 6" apart, the u-shaped adjusting slot accepts a 3/8" bolt or stud. The axle holes are 10.5" center to center apart; if you mount two 2" diameter wheels on this backing plate you can easily mount an 8" long by 2-1/2" wide flat platten between the wheels for a large grinding surface. The rectangular spacer plate is 1/8" thick, this effectively makes this plate 1/2" thick through the pivot point & therefore interchangeable with any 1/2" thick d-plate. M10 holes in the holes for the roller are pulled in the teeth Holes are grooved include 2 grade 8 bolts, 3,5" long, with 4 nylon spacers, 2 1/2" washers & 2 half-nyloc nuts. Review: Not bad - Everything was as it should be I was sure to read the comments first because the bolt sizes don't match some American sized Wheels but it was easy to fix with some metric taps. All in all, I got what I paid for but make sure you guys look carefully because unless you have the ability to retap these holes or go get some different hardware for them it might be a pain in the....

The smooth part on the bolt is to long. I see other reviews with the same issue. I will have to get some new bolts from the hardware store. ## Frequently Bought Together - Belt Grinder D-backing plate for 2x72" knife making grinder with bolt axles - Belt Grinder 2x72 Wheel Set Fits for Knife Grinder 4" Drive 5/8" Bore 3" Track 2" Idler (4" 5/8-3" - 2") - 2 inch x 72 inch Sanding Belts, 40 60 80 120 180 240 400 Assorted Grits Aluminum Oxide Sandpaper for Belt Sander, 7 Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/198138779-belt-grinder-d-backing-plate-for-2x72-knife-making-grinder](https://www.desertcart.be/products/198138779-belt-grinder-d-backing-plate-for-2x72-knife-making-grinder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
