A Big Step Up From My 1” x 30” Belt Sander

Post by Jeffinn »

Been looking at these for awhile and finally decided to pull the trigger;

It’s a beast! I’m going to have to relearn sanding and grinding. It’s a well built, American made machine and the owner is a great guy. He answered all my questions and got my grinder shipped out quickly and efficiently.
This grinder should last me for the long haul.

Does that price include the motor, or do you have to buy a motor?

It does not include the motor. I had a 1.5 hp Baldor motor from a table saw that I got rid of some I’m currently running with that.

Congratulations on the grinder. Looks like you have it paired up quite nicely with the motor and belt. Should really help out on your already quality work!
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Thanks everyone! I got a chance to use the new grinder for a bit this week and it’s working real well! A lot of new techniques to learn.
