Well, I have an offer to buy a tool-grinder that has been converted to a surface grinder.
It's in the LeatherMan production shop. I just went and looked at it, and of course the brand is totally escaping me...brain spasm.
It has an 8x24 Walker Fine Pole chuck, which in itself is a high price item.
The hang-up for me, is it's 3 phase 0.5 hp. A standard phase converter will lose about 1/3 of your total hp, so that's not leaving too much left.
But at a price of $1600, this seems like quite a machine.
Can I get some thoughts here?
Thanks,
Nick
