Any thoughts on the Torus CNC 2x72 Grinder?

I ordered a Torus CNC 2x72 last week and received it a few days ago. Super stoked about the quality!

I stumbled across Rich's website while surfing the web researching 2x72's. I appreciated that he's a one man shop, and took note from his Instagram page how hard he's worked to refine his design up to the point where his current model is at. There's nothing cheaply thrown together or poorly thought out on this machine.

I thought the price was very reasonable for a tilting belt grinder that comes with a large contact wheel, platen, large work rest and drive wheel. I purchase the full package without the motor, and then ordered a $200 3phase 2hp motor, and the cheap $100 Chinese inverter recommended by Housemade Resources. $1,200 (before shipping costs) for a variable speed belt grinder of this quality seemed like a pretty solid deal to me.

Rich was great to work with. He responded quickly to questions, and had the grinder at my doorstep in Alaska within a week after ordering. Pretty sure that these will become harder to get as the word spreads!
