Someone sell me an old grinder at a good price please !!!

You may also check out a grizzly grinder
I have one and it hollow grinds just fine
at 250 you get some bang for your buck
Allen blade grinds some fine knives on his grizzly,it is how you grind not the grinder
it all comes down to that for 250 I don't think you can get much cheaper.

Here ya go I had the name wrong Its Rob Frink!

Rob is making me a special grinder with several wheel sizes that interchange in a flash for finishing work.

The grinder is very impressive.

Its built like a brick shythouse!

Its the best grinder I have ever seen!
Smoother than a burr king!
It interchanges wheels in 10 seconds!
Rob is a great guy to deal with !

This my have come up and I just missed it, but what the heck does the BTTT mean anyway????

A Democracy: Three wolves and a sheep voting on dinner.
A Republic: The flock gets to vote for which wolves vote on dinner.
A Constitutional Republic: Voting on dinner is expressly forbidden, and the sheep are armed.
 
Patrick56: That is funny that you asked that question. I have been reading the forums for a while and I couldn't figure out BTTT either. I finally did a forum search for "What does BTTT mean?" It means "Back To The Top" and, as I understand it, it automatically moves the current thread to the top of the listing. (More experienced users please correct me if I misunderstand this.)

I have the grizzly knifemaker sander. my feelings are mixed. Customer Serivce and QC are iffy at best, and it can take a long time to get it. I ordered in August, got in late October.

Machine runs pretty well, lots of power, but needs some mods. first, throw that graphite junk right off the platen. Then make a real platen for it

Tool rest needs to be squared up if you use it for anything, mine came so that it was 1mm from the wheel on one side, and 3 or 4 mm away on the other side, not good! Tensioning and tracking need to be played with; the belt they sent was I think about 76" long, not 72, but you can adjust for belt length. Make sure you have it on a stabile base as the arm is pretty heavy and can make the machine want to tip if you are grinding with pressure. Get Allen Blades video's with the mods he did to his Grizz in it.

Minus' to the grizz are no attachments. No small wheel attachments, so finger grooves are a pain. Speed is pretty damn fast and with higher grits, its very easy to burn steel. Very easy. I might try to mount mine with a pulley attachment to slow it down to 3 speeds, like half, 1/4 and 1/8 what it is now, wich is 3600SFPM.

You can also get the grinder w/o motor for $150.

I would go with Rob's grinder if at all possible. I know a guy who got one and loves it on another knife forum. From everything i have heard, Rob does great work and people are very pleased with it.
 
Thanks to you also Taz !, I will take a look. Take care.....RDT

Taz is right
The grinder I got from Rob is fantastic.
Its built like a grinder should be built.
Repairable, heavy duty, And it quick chnages wheel sizes in 10 seconds. It also has a work platen that changes in ten seconds.
NO tracking problems, NO bounce , Smoother that a burr king.
I use mine to finish with. Also Small wheels that run very smooth and the BEARINGS dont go out. They run on self alinging bearing spindles not bearings inside the wheel. SO your small wheels are running on a 1 inch bearing shaft!

IM IMPRESSED!

The next one I will buy will be for roughing only. That will be soon!
