mfm22 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I 'm thinking of this as a solution . Upgrade from Grizzly? Less $$ than KMG and other high end machines How do you like the product ? How is best way to set up ,wheel size and motor selection. didn't realize way too many motor options Baldor vs Leeson ? or other choices Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 baldor is a motor was not aware they made grinders. Coote is cheaper but there is no changing out of contact wheels. so make sure of the diameter you want when you order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfm22 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Sorry I was refering to baldor motor vs leeson motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfm22 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 I guess by the lack of response not many are using this set up. I've found what may be a comprimise of sorts ... KMG 8 with 1 1/2 hp motor using 3 spd set up . it seems to give me a Quality core unit ,decent power plant and can have some control of speeds. Not bad and should be under $ 1500 plus shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Hale Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 The three speed set up should work just fine for you. You may be able to pinch another penny or three if you obtain your own motor. They can tell you what the mounting set up is and you can shop ahead to see if it is worth them providing it and the difference if any in shipping. And remember that you need a small pile of money for belts. The cheap ones are just that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfm22 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 I think it could be real nice . I can upgrade as I go. I will probably go with KMG motor The Coote would be less $$ But it still needs lots of options -pulleys etc and it is 2 wheel . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metal99 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I would love to get a KMG but honestly anything is better then my dremel . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
