Just received my 2x72 VS grinder with all my accessories shipped from Stan Parsons at Log Cabin Forge. I picked up a 195#crate (built and packed by Stan himself!). I can tell you all now that the photos you may have seen of this grinder does not do it justice. This grinder is literally overbuilt similiar to the strength of an Abraham Tank! The only other professional grinders I've seen were a B111 and a Wilton Square Wheel up close, so I can tell you that from my prospective, Stan builds his grinders to a high quality. The operation is quiet, the 10" smooth wheel is a work of art! Just looking at the grinder you can see where he has modified his original designs for current usage. The tracking is SWEET! Fit and finish overall is superb. I can now say that I was skeptical of stepping up with the additional bucks to buy a variable speed, but after using this one last night, there is no comparison of the ease of use of a Variable.
Those of you that are looking to step up to a professional grade 2x72 grinder should look at Stan's product. It is certainly a quality piece of equipment and is moderately priced, even with VS and the attachments. And you certainly can't find a better guy to deal with, Stan and his wife, Georganna, are swell folks.--Dan
