kmg clone build mods

Sam, for me it depends on machine height. One of my KMGs is a sit-down. Depressing the lever without modification is easy when standing. I recently installed another, but on a much higher (50") platform. On that one, the lever is neither above or below me, so it's trying to reach straight out and push down. Not so much force that way, and even old and fat I'm still rather strong. The lever like Mickley's helped a lot, especially with a shoulder that needs replacing.
 
Oh ok, that makes alot of sense Mike, my machine is low so i lean right over and get a ton of leverage with my fat gut:D.
 
Sam,

Actually, I put the extra length on simply because I copied my grinder build from the dimensions taken from IG's KMG, also the spring pressure on my grinder is much stronger than a KMG's simply because of the spring that I'm using. I didn't really look at the stock KMG spring and I had the springs from an old Harley front end laying around so I just cut it and used that :D The spring wire on my machine is about twice the diameter that is used on a real KMG. :eek:

Sam, you must have put on a winter coat since I saw you at Ashokan last Fall 'cause you didn't look too fat, as a matter of fact if you were walking behind Mace you virtually disappeared :rolleyes:
