It looks good.
I've got an Abbott & Ashby 8" bench grinder with a Multitool belt and disk attachment. Not quite as good as that, but at just under $400, I bet
its a lot cheaper.
Unfortunately, its now located in the mud, 34' below my boat courtesy of some bastard who doesn't know what a "No Wash" zone means. There's a
pair of $500 glasses down there too.

Hi
I rang the guy, it 1899 + GST, they are bringing out a basic one soon for about a 1000. Bad luck about your unit, he must thought you grinder needed a
wash, excuse my poor sense of humour.

Yeah, I got a wash as well. The boat is quite stable, but I took a knock on the shoulder as I was carrying the (rather heavy) grinder down the side
deck. Next thing I knew I was heading for the piss. I threw the grinder as far as I could so I didn't knock myself out on it as I hit the water. I
tried a grappling hook - but couldn't locate it.
Mate - at over $2k, that's not exactly cheap is it? I think my engineer mate has something similar. I'll check it out next time I'm over there,
which I need to do soon. I need to get my Kafer bars finished.
