For the price @$500, would you guys consider this to be a good machine for basic grinding of blades? Anyone ever use one? I was wanting to get a Grizzly 2x72, but they don't ship to Canada. I was looking at the Sears 2x42, but they don't ship to Canada either and they only sell them in the US locations. I don't really want a big grinder that is going to cost big bucks. I don't need variable speed, nor do I want to do any hollow grinding. I would actually prefer a 2x48 over a 2x72 because then I can still use the belts from my 6x48 sander and cut them into three 2" belts. There is also the 2x48 Hurricane grinder, but it only has a 3/4hp motor. I don't know, but the 1hp sounds like it would be better though, more power. The Grizzly only has a 1hp motor I think and it does well from what I've heard. So what do you guys think of this (see attached link) Jet grinder with the 2x48 Multi-tool attachment. Do you figure it will it grind better/faster than my 6x48 that seems kinda slow on steel? Your opinions are much appreciated. Thanks.
