    Vintage Thornton surface grinder

    You can go as high as you want Frank. I just typically don't have much in the way of belts beyond 220 I've heard some folks going up to 1200x on theirs -Josh

    Vintage Thornton surface grinder

    Awesome score Frank. Pretty easy to use. It's a good idea to block your parts in with some thin scrap bits. A sharp 50 grit will take a .010 pass. I usually will do .005 each pass unless I'm really wanting to thin the stock. I transverse .050 on the crossfeed which is half a turn on my...

    Shocking Electrical question.

    I had to use a double breaker to get a 220v line myself. I only needed 1 because I had an open spot in the box still. I'd put two doubles in without worrying about it but I'm with Andrew in that I would not load the box full of them. I'd add a sub panel and rewire my shop in heartbeat if...

    Shocking Electrical question.

    Sounds like you know where you're going. I won't say it's impossible to run them inline. BUT the calculations for how much draw you're putting on that breaker are best left to a real electrician. Even with the proper calculating done I still wouldn't recommend doing it because the draw on an...

    Shocking Electrical question.

    IMHO it's not a good idea to run multiple 220v tools "inline" What you can do is wire a plug onto the VFD. This way you can unplug the VFD and plug in say a welder or something else that is SINGLE phase 220v. I did not do it this way and hard wired my VFD from the breaker so I can ONLY run...

    Aldo 1084, how rough is it initially? Not sure I'm wording that right.

    I've never had it ground but know the do offer it. Give them a call on the price. I've got a surface grinder so I do my own. -Josh

    Just an FYI, If you order directly from Aldo you can get your steel surface ground. Probably a good way to go for stock removal knives. -Josh

    Leather tool quality explanation

    I agree with these guys. No need to start out high end with this stuff. I've never used any of the high end stamps but have seen friends. They are higher quality than tandy and some of the ones I've looked the were possibly CNC cut or something for super crisp definition where Tandy are cast...
