OK....Here are mine:

1st off my very favorite tool, KMG with the "Caffrey" Platen

Next, The first "real" grinder I ever purchased..and after almost 30 years and several new sets of bearings, she's still grinding away....my Wilton Square Wheel:

Next the Beaumont VFD disc grinder:

And finally, a disc for slippies that I pieced together. Got the motor and controller off Ebay for a scream'in deal, a friend built the super heavy weight disc for me, and the stand/table came from Tru-Grit:

Here's my homemade grinder. One motor, two work stations. I run my rotary platen on one end with a 10" wheel, 2" wheel, slack and flat. On the other end I have a small wheel attachment. Gets the job done. cool 1

I have built the NWGS and as far as grinders go, it's a normal configuration.

The only major thing I did different was to cut out a section of the side plate on the flat platten attachment so I can remove the actual platten and have a slack belt. I'm pretty poor and couldn't afford the extra wheels anytime soon.

Seems to work very well and gives me more than enough slack belt room for convex grinds and sharpening.

My Bader3, Riverside machine disk grinder and my own design and built HEG( Horizontal Edge Grinder), and surface grinder I converted to a belt grinder.

No need to be embarrassed; that's not bad for a starter grinder. I started on a 1x30 Harbor Freight before moving "up" to a Grizzly
