Started ordering everything I needed for a decent basic shop (KMG, Atlas Mini, Tom Tongs, anvil, belts, etc), and while waiting for all the new toys to arrive I rewired the shop to accommodate 220V and more equipment. The KMG arrived Saturday and I finished wiring everything yesterday.
The only hitch I ran into was on the 2 hp Leeson motor. The wiring diagram on the motor showed the wiring set to CCW rotation, but when I flipped the switch it was running CW. No biggie as it was easy to switch the T5 and T8 wires to achieve CCW. Again, no biggie, just kinda weird I thought.
The KMG is a beast of a machine compared to my old Sears and HF grinders. All I need now are two portable lp gas tanks and I'll be set.
 
Thanks John!
Didn't take long to ruin that first piece on the grinder!
