The kmg clone on dcknives site is a great machine and easy to build
That might be in inches tho as most plans I've seen are,just convert them yourself

Diy knife maker info center has a ton of good stuff. Its all si units though.

I made my grinder from his plans. Didn't take me long to modify the tracking arm to be a pivot based one with a gas shock.

It is a great site. Easy to understand
Yea gas shock is my next job on mine but have it finally running sweet so don't want to mess with it.

I hoped for any other alternatives you know.

For what it’s worth, I used those plans and it came out great. I used heavier steel in some places because it’s what I had on hand.

I did the same. If I make another grinder it'll be plates bolted together for tighter tolerances. That being said, my grinder does run really well.

I see alot of pros use a kmg clone with plates bolted together,on the cards for me too
I can stand a pencil on my tool arm in full flight so I'm happy with mine for now
