JL Belt Grinders from K&G??

[Trace Rinaldi]

I was wondering if anyone has used or know someone who uses the JL Grinder from K&G.
It looks similar to the Square Wheel which I currently use, but seems to be setup better.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

I've had a variable speed JL for about a year now. I have used a single speed Wilton since 1983. The JL is an excellent machine, tracking is excellent, no vibration. Also you can use all of your Square Wheel attachments on the JL.

I have 2 Burr-Kings, and one JL Grinder. I got the JL and one of the Burr-Kings used. The JL is my least favorite of the three. Compared to the Burr-Kings it is rough, and tracks terribly. If I don't brake the wheel as quick as I turn it off, the wheel trys to work itself loose. The machine does work well though for my one use for it, that is finger notches.


Hope I helped,

I have been using my JL now for a little over a year and have never experienced any of these problems.
