Show Off Your Grinder(s) - (V4.0)

[J. Keeton]

Spent the evening setting up a slip joint half and closed position. Figured I'd snap a quick shot of my Ameribrade Fastback set-up horizontal to work off the 2" contact wheel.

Very nice! I love that whole set up!

 

[J. Keeton]

Well I finished up my flipping mechanism. It's not perfect. I think I could move the grinder to the right some on the frame to make the horizontal and vertical positions land around the same height.... Also I think the stand needs to be reduced in height by around 4-6 inches.... but it may give some ideas to others!

Built this 10 years ago. I think I may be the first one to set up a GIB with 3 step pulley's like this.

Always think I will upgrade to VFD and then I use it and change my mind. Maybe one day.

I just pulled the trigger and ordered this one.
3HP, large tool rest and a 11.5" wheel.

4weeks delivery time, I feel like a child counting down to Christmass.

I probably would have gone that route too if buying now. Looks well built and they have a very good line of accessories / attachments.

Well... I got me a new toy! Picked up this NorthRidge Pro second hand. Took me a day of driving, but that was well worth it. I can't wait to put some hours behind this guy!



I got some good shots of it in here:

Lol, good question, sir. I've actually already sold it locally. Wish I had enough room for both. Cheers man.

Why would someone sell their NRT?? If my current tool arms fit the NRT, it would be my next grinder.

Hey J. Hoffman , I think it came down to space and a move. NRT makes a heck of a machine... I can't wait to get some time behind this one!

I like nice build grinders, but also i like to read lot about famous knife makers from around world..............And i notice that most of them use grinders assembled from pieces of steel here and there......
So ............say hello to this guy and his grinder
