I,m gathering info. as i may be buying a knife grinder soon and the cost is a LARGE factor. It seems to me that the Coote grinder gives the best bang for the buck.

I know a lot of my questions could/would be answered by speaking with the manufacturer but i also would like to get your opinions.
I,m thinking i would get the 2x72 with the 10in. wheel
The accessory page:

I DO wan,t a small wheel accessory and it seems there are 2 ways to get it one way is to have the small wheel in place of the idler wheel if i understand correctly. There seems to be a big difference in price and I have no idea which would be the better way, whatcha think???
I,m not sure if i would want the 9in.sanding disc. But for the $37.00 price it may be worth getting. Opinions ?
I,m assuming that it comes stock with a platen and that the 2" x 9" ceramic platen liner for $28.00 is an upgrade. I don,t believe i would get the ceramic. OPINIONS ?
The knife rest for $35.00 i,m a lil confused by but i think that it,s the lower rest in the pics and is for resting the knife on while hollow grinding. Ive not done any hollow grinding so i don,t know how useful the rest would be. OPINIONS ?
I have NO knowledge when it comes to electrical stuff so please be patient in helping me PICK a MOTOR.
If i can get away w/o spend any money upgrading the supply of electricity
( breakers,wiring,etc.) it would be great! My shop is located in a spare bedroom and the only elec. comes from a couple of 3 holed wall receptical,s.
Is it going to be practical/possible to make this work ?
Right now i,m using a Delta SA180 1x42 belt/disc grinder if that info helps you help me.
THANKS folks !
