Torin Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Well, the KMG grinder I ordered showed up here at work a few hours ago. However the baseplate to mount it and the motor on still hasn't. It was shipped at the same time, but is last reported somewhere near Harrisburg PA (about 2 hours away). It still says that it will be delivered today though. Once it is here, it will need to have a couple of new holes drilled, as I have a larger frame motor to mount on it than is standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hicks Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Good for you They say the KMG is about as good as it gets Like to see some pics. when its set up how big a motor are you using? Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torin Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 I'll make sure to post some pics. I'm using a 2hp motor with a Variable Frequency Drive to control the speed. However, the baseplate is going to languish outside of Harrisburg until tomorrow. Then I need to wait for the tool room guy to drill the extra holes in the baseplate for my oversized motor. He is the second shift guy. Which means it will be Thursday before I can try it out. :mad: However it does look very nice on my desk here at work :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are out of luck...I eat lunch at my desk > And the KMG is an awful lot like the bader. Can't wait to try it. Speaking of which, the 1095 and 15N20 arrived from Admiral today too.
