Ok,  I have had the grinder for a while now. I am in love with the variable speed.  I turned it way down and cleaned up the edges of a two arrow bow quiver (leather) last night, then cranked it up and hogged off a bunch of steel on a chopper I just finished forging to shape.  I will be buying another one with a 1.5 hp motor once I get 220 wired into my shop.   I can buy 5 of these for the price of one fully decked out KMG.

I am still loving the grinder.  I can bog it down with heavy pressure.  I expected that with the 110 - 1 hp motor.   I spent a lot of tIme in front of it this last weekend.  I have zero complaints about it.

Clay - what happened to ya?  Anyone know?  I am thinking this grinder would be a nice addition to my shop but I cannot find it on the web and cannot get a hold of Clay.  Anyone have an email or phone number to the fella making this grinder?

thanks for any help - Bob Urban

Paste that # into the serch box on the bay. It is a previous sale but that will put you in contact with the guy.

I had his phone number but tossed it awhile back.

Good luck Bobby.

Bobby,

Sorry about the lack of posts and attention on here.  I have been dealing with a never ending run of deaths of family and friends this year.  The last 12 months have been horrible.  Grandpa just passed, and my mentor in engineering will only make it another month or two.  

I havn't been in the shop much at all for several months. I love the Grinder and will be picking up another one with a 1.5 hp motor shortly.  I have a couple of projects for folks on here that are close to wrapped up and frankly overdue.  

The guy who builds the grinders name is Jose Navarro, he lives in Gresham, Oregon.   You can look up his number from there.  I will dig into my records and emails on here and send a pm in the next day or two.
