Grizzly / Shop Fox Knife Belt Sander : | ||||
|
When
you're ready to move up to grinding your own blades from steel bar stock,
the first tool you're going to want to consider is a good knife belt
sander. Up until now, a huge barrier to beginners was the cost of a
quality machine. If you've looked at some of the Knifemaker Suply
catalogs, you've seen Bader, Wilton, KMG , Burr King and Pro Cut machines that cost
$500 to $1800.00. Some of the smaller ones in the $400 range had
wimpy 1/2 horsepower motors , no ball bearings
and are built for a few months of light use.
Grizzly Industrial has changed all that with a high quality, powerful and well made knife belt sander. This is the one I use in my shop and couldn't begin to recommend it highly enough. I love it. It features a 1 horsepower motor for years of hard use, a cast iron body and all ball bearing construction. It uses standard 2" x 72" belts and has a motor speed of 1725 RPM. This is a serious machine at an extremely affordable price. Compare for yourself and I think you'll be very impressed with the specs on this quality Knife Belt Sander. As standard, it comes with a 4" contact wheel ( Shown). I would heartily recommend buying the optional 10" contact wheel for professional results. Why? Click HERE to a simple graphic explaining why. The buffer isn't included either but these are cheap and readily available at any hardware store. Grizzly Industrial is based in Bellingham, Washington and has almost a million square feet of production and warehousing from their three facilities in Bellingham, Springfield, Mo., and Muncy, Pa. Grizzly does their own manufacturing in ISO9001 certified factories and has been selling direct to Fortune 500 and others companies since 1984. Since Grizzly only sells direct, don't be misled just because you haven't seen them at Home Depot or Wal-Mart. Grizzly is a major manufacturer who is in the game to stay. Grizzly offers a full, one year warranty on all of their machines and has three national service and repair centers to back it up. Grizzly is a quality company that I feel very comfortable standing behind. You won't be unhappy with a Grizzly |
||||||
| Note: In order to get the best price for my customers, I have set this up as a "Factory Direct" transaction. When you order, you will be ordering direct from Shop Fox / Grizzly. Amazon.com ( you thought they only sold books?) provides all of the order processing. Note: this things ships with a weight of 110 pounds.Probably best if you have someone there to help you unload when it arrives. | ||||||

bench grinder. Belt attachment can be positioned horizontally ,at 45 degrees
or vertically. For sharpening and shaping, users can use the contact
wheel, the flat platen or the slack portion. Please Note: If your bench grinder has a stamped steel shield, the MultiTool will fit. Multitool will NOT fit a grinder with heavy cast wheel guards if the guards are used to retain the spindle bearings. |

| G0555 Ultimate 14" Bandsaw | ||||||
|
|
This
is the one I use in my shop. Constantly. I love it. It's my baby and
my favorite toy. Shop around and compare features and price and I
think you'll make the same decision I did. Get a load of this: 1 HP
motor, precision ground cast iron table, deluxe extruded aluminum fence
and miter gauge, cast iron frame, 4 " dust port, quick blade
release system, fence scale with magnifier, AND upper and lower ball
bearing blade guides ( almost every other bandsaw in this class uses
static guide blocks. Ugh. Seriously, check it out. Makes a big difference) . Maximum 6"
cutting height, 13 1/2" throat capacity. Table tilts 45 degrees
right, 10 degrees left, Stand is included. It's not hard to figure
out why the Grizzly G0555 is the best selling bandsaw in the
country. Uses standard 93 1/2" blades Note: This thing is heavy . Make sure you have at least one friend on hand when it arrives to help you unload it. |
