Road Grinder!

[Fred.Rowe]

We will be taking this mobile grinder, on the road this fall, attending hammerins in the tri-state area; putting on grinding demonstrations with the Bubble Jig.

We'll be at the ABS hammerin, @ Troy Ohio, the end of August.

I'll put a list of shows up that we'll be attending as they come up.

The grinder base is a mobile machine bass by Makita. The frame work that the aluminum sheet is attached to, is 3/4 inch top and bottom with 2x6 at the perimeter.
The grinder is KMG driven by a, hinge mounted 2hp single phase motor. 1725 rpm.
The drive wheel on the grinder is 6" which gives the machine a top end of 5400 sfm, or there about.
In its folded position, 24" one man can move it; when it comes to getting it up on its legs you want two men.

The large work rest at the front of the grinder moves both horizontally and vertically, or it can be removed entirely.
The large tool rest adds considerable stability to your grinding.

Keep in mind:
Adding a piece of after market hardware, such as the jumbo tool rest, to an already inherently dangerous machine only increases that danger.

Yes...increasing the level of difficulty may earn you an extra point from the Russian judge...if you can stick the landing

Nice work Fred! That's a sweet setup.
