I got it unboxed last night and should have it working by this weekend. I'll post a review if I can.

I'm eager to hear how it works out for you, Michael. What kind of motor are you going to use?

Great Michael!!! Can you give us a couple pictures on the grinder, I've never seen one.

Take care!! Michael
Always think of your fellow knife makers as partners in the search for the perfect blade, not as people trying to compete with you and your work!

Pictures will be coming. I hope I still have space on my web site.
My motor is scrounged 1/2 hp for now. But my first impression of the grinder is that it it solid and shouldn't need much adjusting out of the box.
I hope to have it bolted up this weekend.

I got it running this weekend. It is a BIG improvement over my PM 2x48" Smoother and easier to control with the same 1/2 horse. Knives get ground a lot faster and plung cuts are much better.
One problem, not related to the grinder is vibration due to my motor mount and table top. Can anyone recommend pictures or ideas for a better shopbuilt stand?
BTW, the Coote was about $333 with shipping and is the 2x72x6. Overall, I'd recommend it.
