It is not a bad grinder. I have one. I think I will modify it to 2 x 72. All the pulleys and motor are already there. The platten for flat grinding is a piece of crap. It is not flat on mine and had to be beefed up. If I modify it, I will post pictures. It is still cheaper than any 2 x 72 that I could find. Even the parts to build a 2 x 72 don't come quite this cheap.
