I've been making knives for several years and finally built a 2x72, all out of wood even turned the wheels, and it works well but not great. For the $60 I have in it it's way better than my 1x30. I currently have $400 and am looking at an entry line, production grinder for stock removal, mostly flat and saber grinds. I've narrowed it down to three grinders:
Grizzly - $495 + shipping
Coote 2x6x72 - $447 + shipping
Polar Bear Forge Flat SLING grinder kit - $115 + shipping + hardware + wheels
Now I currently have a 1hp Craftsman motor so the motor isn't an issue for the Coote or Sling grinder. However the sling grinder doesn't have a work rest, easy enough fix for the price; but is it rigid enough to hog off steel?
What are yalls thoughts?
