I was wondering if anyone had any experience with a BGS 618 Surface Grinder , there is one in a auction near me and I'm hopping to get my hands on it.
 
From the tiny photo posted, it does look like about the same machine except for all the automation stuff. Still a NICE machine! Have fun with your new toy..... "if" you're able to buy it thru the auction.

Steven, $500 is a steal for that grinder - wow. "IF" I were a "serious" knife maker who made several knives a week, I'd jump on that for sure - but for the very few knives I make, I "get by" with a grinding disk with my milling machine. Not great, but works ok for evening up a blank to a couple of thou anyway. I can even do a distal taper with it.

Fred - that thing looks like new! While I'm sure you're hoping for a good price at auction, it's GOT to go for a LOTS more than Steven's at $500. Let us know how the deal works out.

Just as an up date on this Surface Grinder , it was the most expensive item at the auction , $4000 , way out of my price range but a fun dream to chase. I did pick up a nice little K.O.Lee 6x12 for $375 off Craig's List , needs a little work but so do I.
 
Thanks for the update Fred - it sure did go expensive, but it was a NICE grinder. Imagine what it would sell for new.
