    2 HP motor and VFD for 2x72

    And that's U.S.D.!!! Ha ha ha! Too bad the dollar aint at par anymore! I'm sure it's worth it's price. I like the two tool arm socket designs better, myself, as well. One just seems like bad design. Wouldn't want my grinder table attached to the tool arm, or other accessories for that matter...

    Hello from BC

    Ha ha ha. I tend to have that "bar tender" affect on people. :) I'm not much for facebook and the rest. Website is wingnutdesigns.com or google metal kelp, or kelp sculpture. I'm pretty findable. Site needs up dating. I'm bad at taking shots of everything. Site has pic's of old style kelp. Need...
