Finally after two months of waiting my new KMG grinder has landed. It arrived this morning and my first impression is this piece of machinery is built
like a tank:thumbup: high quality, rock solid and very heavy :p I almost broke my back carrying it out of the box :D I'll setup it up in the coming days and hopefully I'll have it working in a week or two.

I'll post some more picks for updates and thanks Rob for building
this very fine equipment :thumbup:

Wow!! So tell us how you finally got it to the Philippines..? If I remember correctly, I shipped it to California...?

The box says "Atlas International"..is that a shipping company..?

I really need a good "export" shipping source.

That is a terrific looking motor!

hey man you wont be sorry i just bought one from rob about 2 weeks ago and i love mine. quiet, powerful, and sexy what more could you want out of a machine!
 
Congrats! Now do a little disassembly and put some nice rust preventative paint on it to pretty it up! Seriously, it kills me to see Rob build such a great machine, then see guys just let it rust. It's certainly built well enough that it would take years before the rust ate through anything, but I personally want to protect my investment. I think you're in a pretty high humidity environment so a little Rustoleum or Hammerite would go a long way.

Hi Rob! I really like your grinder. I think it is the best grinder out there in the market :thumbup:

Two months ago I have it shipped to my father inlaw in California. And from there it waited for a couple of more weeks, because it has to wait for the other knifemaking supplies I ordered before having it shipped here to Manila.
It left the United States 2nd week of December :)
 
I should be ordering mine in about two weeks. Trying to get the shop ready. I am definately going to have to address the rust issue. I have my shop set up in my garage and summer months are horrible. I have to put plenty of Top Coat on my tablesaw to combat the rust.

Yes Rob!,it's a shipping company based in Southern Cal. Your machine only cost me U$75 for shipping :thumbup:

But this shipper only caters to Filipinos who sends stuffs to their relatives
in the Philippines. We call it " Padala or Pasalubong " :thumbup:
