Grizzly Knife Grinder #G1015

Jeez I ain't even posted anything yet!
2 reasons I went with this one is first, can't beat it for the price. There is an aftermarket attachment that will turn it into a 4 pulley setup for 170 bucks.
Second, primary use will be for metal fab, and the compact size makes it easier to fit in my tiny shop. (I guess that makes 3 reasons).
It also runs the common 2x72 belts.

You have no room to say anything.
Boneheads add two pages to my threads before I have done anything!
They are just windin' up on yours!

I added a steel plate and reinforced underneath. Drilled some holes, added levelers on the legs(1/2" bolts, nuts, and plates), then painted the stand.
KensAuto:
Then started putting the grinder together.
It's a pretty decent setup. Basically it's a 1hp buffing motor that they add a belt kit to. The engineering isn't great , but it is pretty beefy.
It's also a Taiwanese piece, which is usually a step up from China.
...the first issue I found was that the motor pedestal casting wasn't flat, so I had to grind on it...about 30 thou.
KensAuto:
Bolted it down and added the rest of the parts. The instructions were clear, along with pictures for those that live near Denver. The only Issue I found was that they wanted a 3/4" long bolt and washer to be used to hold on the work table bracket, which is 5/8" thick.
The support bracket in the 3rd pic, has little set screws that are used to square itself to the motor....kinda hokey but will work.
