I swear if I had a set up like that and it caught fire I'd just sit in the middle and go up with it. I'd be too heart broken to stand outside and watch it burn.
Crash, I'll bet you needed a cigarette when you left there. :innocent:
i'm with you there.Quote:

Sometime soon. It has put my knife making projects on hold for the time being. Gotta make room for a grinder in my small shop (there's always room for a good too right?), talk Mrs. Crash into letting me spend the $$$, and then order one.
What kind of grinder did you decide on Crash?
While a KMG, Bader or Wilton would be nice, they are not in the budget. I'll probably go with the Grizzly and add the 10" wheel to get the grinding surface out a little from the motor. http://grizzly.com/products/Knife-Be...r-Buffer/G1015
My Craftsman is 3000rpms That one is 1750. I think it would work awesome. Mine is way fast and can screw up a blade quick if you are not careful. I really need to upgrade.
Everything I read says go with variable speed and this and that - just not in the budget, so this will have to do. I helped a guy set up his last week and one of the more experienced makers took a piece of D2 stock - profiled and did a hollow grind in a couple of minutes. Of course this guy could probably use jewelers files to make a knife too.
yeah, you can do a lot of jobs more quickly or easily with fancier tools, but a good craftsman can find ways to make do.
Would a rotary switch for varying the speed work?Quote:

Yep, from what all the guys and gals that seem to know what they are doing, they say that even a 1hp motor with a variable speed option is too small. They suggest 1.5hp to 3hp for that or different sized pulleys.
