[TheForge] belt grinder advice?

[David E. Smucker]

I have both of the Kalamazoo grinders -- the 2 x 48 is a good work horse for 
general grinding work.  Got lots of hours on mine without issue.

wow Paul,
That clone is mighty impressive. Far beyond what I'm looking for. (I
like the belt grinder, but I don't use it anywhere near enough to
justify that)

I hadn't come across the Kalamazoo grinders in previous searches. They
look interesting. I'll have to take closer look.

Thanks all.
