Can one identify this belt grinder?

[beavertooth]

Hello. I came across this image of a belt grinder. I don't recognize it and it's smaller than a similar but larger custom model made in the USA. Any ideas? Thanks.

Sorry if the image is large. However it was cropped out of another and it needed work to be able to see it clearly.

I think that's a Radius Master. Made in Australia?

Thanks. I also thought that at first. However it's not a Radius Master or Blade Master model from the same company. The Radius Master models use a different of belt tension rig and i've used a Radius Master, nice but 5000+$ is a bit steep for basically no warranty support where i am.
My custom grinder actually has a couple better features.

I did Google search for it but no similarly matching images popped up.

The similar one made in the USA is the TW-90.

That is coming out of China IIRC

the only instance I see of that photo is aliexpress chinese grinding belts.

It's a safe bet it's a chinese made version - no domestic version I know of

That looks exactly like the Chinese Grinder I did a review on a couple of years ago. I don't know about the quality of the actual Jancy Radiusmaster but I wouldn't spend any money on the Chinese version. I got the T & E grinder for free and basically gave it away. Here is the review I did on it.

Indeed and thank you. No intention of purchasing one, however it was a curiosity.
