Im getting ready to purchase my first 2x72 grinder. I have been looking at a coote grinder and the grinder in a box from polarbear forge, or any others out there that anyone recommends? Ideas, Pro's/cons' to each one? I am trying to stay under a grand for budget. Any good used one for sale that need new home also, let me know.
I have been using a 1x30 HF and 4x36 HF for the last year, so any grinder will be a big upgrade. I was looking at the kalamzoo but seen the coote was more recommended. Plus you use step pulleys on it. Now with the grinder in the box is it direct drive. I may or may not be buying a VFD.
What motor speeds are recommended for a 3 step pulley set up? or the direct drive style? Does it matter on the direct drive if you are going to be using a VFD or not? thank you, Larry
