Please let us know how well it works. I've been looking far into my future when I will actually have money for a 2x72, and after I have some knives under my belt, and I have been debating between this beautiful grinder and the kmg.

Nice but I suggest bolting it down. Those clamps won't do the job.
Ha ha, thanks for the ribbing guys.
This thing grinds like a dream! The griz is my only comparison, but wow! I did a fantastic hollow grind on a refurb I'm doing for a guy. Only my second hollow, the first one went to the scrap bucket. Just being able to slow the speeds down gives me an amazing jump in skill utilization.
Having to move things so quickly on the grizzly due to full speed really gave me a good base set of skills, now that I can turn the belt down to a trickle, I can slow the movement way way down, and have a tremendous increase in accuracy of my grinds.
Oh, the clamps were just so it wouldn't tip over while I was fiddling with it, this was 2 minutes after I unpacked it. Gonna make sure it's where I want it before I start drilling holes in my work bench.
take care everyone. I'll be sure to post my next few projects.
best,
Kyle O.

It looks taller than my TW90. I wonder if Travis jacked them up a bit. You will love the grinder. I have no complaints.

I met the good Dr. at Travis's hammer in, great guy. However I can't let you have all the fun.

I'm pretty jealous of that set up Eric.

Not trying to high jack the Doctors thread but thanks for the compliments on the bench.
I purchased the grinder directly from Travis.
I've used almost every grinder out there, KMG, square wheel, bader, and the Tag but IMHO,
Nothing comes close to the versatility that the TW has.
