    Something off with Vevor

    I have already done that by starting this thread but I don't want to be perceived as making threats against these guys in case it weakens my claim with Visa. As of this morning the offer is $164.00 or a new motor, I'm tempted to jump at it but there's a chance he might just send me a motor that...

    SM 10" Utilathe Tailstock Taper Question

    #4 and #8 gears are worn out on my SM 10" as well as it also spent its life in the school system. But I love using it, so much more rigid than my old SB 9A.

    Something off with Vevor

    You know, I don't think I would accept a new motor now, he's lost me as a customer. If I treated my clients like that I sure wouldn't be in business anymore. Thanks for the advice guys.

    Damn, I just spent $173 usd for the same wheels from KnifeGrinderParts, I wish I had known. Good candidate for the Buy Canadian thread.

    2x72 sander

    Do you mean the belt protectors? Are there sparks that make it all the way around to shoot into the face?

    2x72 grinder discussion

    I've been thinking about some kind of spark catcher, once I get the machine built, the plan is to play around with some thin heating duct sheet metal to come up with a design to accommodate both vertical and horizontal grinding. The vertical collector could be something simple like the first...
