Yup!!
Last Saturdy we, my wife and me, went to Springield Missouri to the Grizzly Ind. Showroom!!
I am really impressed with what I saw there. I bought one of their buffers and got to bring it home.
I also bought several buffing wheels and some grinding belts and other supplies.
They were out of the Knife
Grinder Belt Sander/Buffer, but I prepaid one and it should be here in about 3-4 weeks.
I was really impressed with the appearance of the quality in their equipement. If it's as good as it looks it is really gonna be something!! That includes everything I saw!! Some of their wood working equipement was phenominal !! Even their cheaper, smaller things like in the wood lathes appeared to be very well made.
I am sure glad that someone offers such a nice looking belt grinder for the amount of money that a hobbiest can afford. The machine looks really well made and is heavily constructed. The platen is about 1/4" thick and looks substantial enough to actually use as is. After I get to use it some I will probably be back asking for suggestions.
Allen Blade said one of his videos shows most of the modifications he made to his. I may have to get that video!!
I probably won't get into knifemakeing big time, but since this is something I have enjoyed since I was a kid it will be nice to be able to make some knives along without the hassles of using an old bench grinder and files.
The first ones on my list is a set of kitchen knives for my sweet wife who kept asking if there was anything else I needed to get and if there was I should go ahead and get it. Now what more could a man ask for??
