Well, I finally did it... got a new grinder on the way!

She is fastend down solid to the stump Rich and she wont budge. Plus, for extra precaution, I am going to bolt the stump down to the floor as well. I probably don't need to (stump weighs about 400 lb, plus about 200 lb of KMG) as it is, its pretty solid, but a bit extra cant hurt . Thanks for the tip on belt speed. I figured that slowest would be best, both for better control, better finish, and less chance of overheating.

As soon as I get the belts for it I have to learn to grind on it . It is completly different than what I am used to, and am sure it will take a bit of practice to get it down. But just looking at the set up and playing around with the various attachments, everything seems so well engineered and adjustable that I think I should be grinding like a pro in no time .

Have fun with the new grinder. Be sure to post pictures of all the goodies it produces.
