Just got my new grinder

[Marko3]

With all the talk about the KMG and the Pheer and the two do it yourself grinders I was feeling like the redheaded step child by getting a Coote grinder. It came today. I got it with all options small wheel glass platen and lower tool rest for the contact wheel. I had started out on a woodworkers small belt sander and moved to a Kalamazoo 2 x 48 without the motor and ran that for a bit. Now I have a 2 x 72 with 10 inch wheel. It seems well made I have my motor already and should have it put together this weekend. Had him send me out some step pullys with it so I will be able to have it move slowly for me. Im pretty pumped Has everything I wanted in a grinder.Its not as heavy as it looks because its made of aluminum not the steel I thought it was.

So Already ordered belts last week so I have them on hand and I got a pile of steel and hardware to get some made up in the next week or two. Wish me luck.

I just got my first grinder and went with a coote. I love it. No complaints yet. And it takes seconds to change speeds with the step pulleys.

Congrats. May the grind be with you. My Pheer ships this week so I'm counting the nanoseconds.
