Maybe I'm Finally Figuring Out How To Use The Rotary Platen...

[blgoode]

If I'm hijacking, just say so, but Roger, how does that coote hold up? I'm saving up, and I don't want to be stuck with a sears/craftsmen 2x24 forever. Would it be worth the $550 to get a coote with a nice platen, 10'' wheel, and nice, new motor? Or should I stick with the 2x24 until I can get a KMG.

Save up my man. Nothing against the coote but having the option to add attachments in the future is week worth getting the KMG.

Kit, where do you get S7?

Kit, where do you get S7?

Tom, I just ordered some D2 from www.toolanddie.com and saw that they sell S7 in flat stock.

So I just stick with the sears thing for a year(prob. more). What did you use before the KMG?

Tom,
MSC has it.

What is it about S7 that makes it so expensive? Do you air quench or oil?

S7 is oil quench...I think.
I had a grinder just like you before the KMG.
