Good news- I finally bought a Bader Grinder!
Bad news- not exactly sure what I bought!

I bought a used grinder on eBay, it is a model 1004A. Apparently it's a larger commercial model. Does anyone know anything about it? There is a picture, but I can't tell much from that. It has a 2hp motor and it currently configured for a 3"x132" belt. Does anyone know if I'll be able to configure it for 2"x72"?? Add a platen? And who can tell me the name of that little tiny wheel for grinding the underside of the guard? Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Can I use one of those as well? They tell me that Baders are very versatile, hopefully that's the case. I think I got a good deal on it, and I know I can at least use it to profile blades in a big hurry! Any input is much appreciated.
 
It's probably a 3phase motor , You can probably change to 2 inch wide contact wheel and there is nothing wrong with 2x132 belts, I think you can get just about any grit combos you want. If you think it won't work I would call bader and see if they would work a trade for a B3.

Have fun
