Hi All,
Sorry to drag up an old thread, firstly thanks for providing the info for the northridgetool grinder ; I stumbled across this thread when looking for 2x72" grinders, and has helped me make up my mind. As have been wanting to try my hand at knife making for a while since finding some sambar antlers, and thought they would make great handles (hopefully?). I do a little bit of machining and was doing some research into heat treating and now I have some time in my hands, this has peaked my interest back up into shaping some blades.
Anyhow contacted George and looking at 8+ week for the grinder + I live in Australia so it will be quite the wait which is fine. But forgot to ask, the dimension from the back of the motor to the front of the stand (pro pack). Just wondering if anyone could measure it for me please? Also any one running the 10" wheel as this will be useful for some other projects and just wondering how it is performing?
Look forward to the grinder, not sure if it will be the first one on Oz! Hopefully.
Thanks in advance,
Adrian
