After many moons I have decided to buy a grinder. I prayed to the gods of cheap belt grinders and they delivered, this thing came up on the ebay so I bought it. Time for some hollow ground madness.
its a 2*72, it has an inverter and variable frequency which will control the speed, 3hp motor as well so i imagine it will be a step up from my 1/8hp setup. ill have to turn that into a disc grinder
I was advised by someone more knowledgeable than myself that it was worth getting and bought it from a seller that is known in the knife making community here.
As long as you can get belts for it! Look around for VSM Ceramic Belts. They are a German made belt that here in the USA are low cost and high quality!
