Double Grinder

What si the deal with multiple belt grinder and 5 drill presses in some shops? Are people actually too lazy to change bits and tooling arms? You have to have them on hand anyway...... :confused::D
 
When you're into production it takes time to switch tooling around, so multiple tools makes a lot of sense. I'm NOT into production at all, but there are times when it'd be time saving to have 3 grinders, one for standard flat platen setup, one for small wheel, and one for horizontal position.

the more the merrier? :-)
time is money
tools make you money
1/2 the fun is in the tool.

5 DP is alot, 3 sounds appropriate

^this completely! if I could afford it, I would have a separate tool to do each process in a progressive line along my wall so I start at the left end of the shop and by the time I got to the right, my knife would be done. this is a long way from the one of everything I have currently I might add

I want three 100# Little Giants in a row with different spacing so I can forge down billets in one controlled heat.
