After many moons I have decided to buy a grinder. I prayed to the gods of cheap belt grinders and they delivered, this thing came up on the ebay so I bought it. Time for some hollow ground madness.

Liam,
Looks like you can certainly profile and hollow on that. What length belt does it run? Is there more than one speed?
 
its a 2*72, it has an inverter and variable frequency which will control the speed, 3hp motor as well so i imagine it will be a step up from my 1/8hp setup. ill have to turn that into a disc grinder
 
You will be a happy grinding fool with a 3hp Variable. It kinda looks like a Burr King, What brand is it?
 
I'm honestly not sure on the brand but it looks a solid machine. Drill press next, can't beat getting holes straight.
 
I was advised by someone more knowledgeable than myself that it was worth getting and bought it from a seller that is known in the knife making community here.
 
turns out its 50*2250 which i believe is larger than 2*72 which should be nice, should last at least 3 1/2 times longer than my belts at the moment
 
As long as you can get belts for it! Look around for VSM Ceramic Belts. They are a German made belt that here in the USA are low cost and high quality!
 
Laurence turned me on to the VSM belts. They are all i use up to 120 grit now. Superb quality and great price.
