I have a KMG grinder. I hear pros and cons about them but so far I don't have any complaints. I've had it about 10 months or so.I like it! What do you have for a grinder?
Thanks Rick.I like it OP a very useful size and are you making that micarta or buying it?
Check out that Mase craft good prices I think.Thanks Rick.
Right now I'm buying it but I'd like to make my own. The source I like to use only makes it in 1/4", and I really prefer to use 3/8" material.
I think I am going with one as well, the rotary platen attachment is intriguing but I think I'll go with a standard platen for now, I'll also be holding off on the contact wheelI have a KMG grinder.

If you can swing it I’d get the contact wheel. I find it useful for getting good smooth edges. I’d recommend an extra tool arm and small wheel attachment when you can swing it. I need to pick up a few extra ‘smaller’ wheels myself.I think I am going with one as well, the rotary platen attachment is intriguing but I think I'll go with a standard platen for now, I'll also be holding off on the contact wheel
you're probably right, I am working this all on my "Play money" so funds are limited, unless I can manage to knock out 10-15 knives to sell to generate funds for tooling and abrasives...If you can swing it I’d get the contact wheel.
