2x72 grinder - Victoria $600

I priced this or very similar unit out at a supplier here in Calgary. It was over 1700$... 12 years ago! They are no better or worse than current ones, but a little less versatile: they have fewer options for accessories because of the mounting system.
Great value for someone who doesn't want the trouble of building one.

Currently on sale for $1400 at KMS, so $600 is a killer deal.

I realise it has been a while since you posted this, but I am just now dipping my toes in. I became a member of this group last night, so please forgive me if this is long gone. Could you please let me know if it is still available?
Thanks,
Alex.
It wasn't my machine, just a listing that I saw. But it is long gone in any event.

Wow - I spent about 150 or so for mine in materials. You paying all retail?

I'm probably at or around the $6-700 range for mine (and still not done). Most of that is in the wheels, hard and soft contact.
New motor, new vfd, new wheels, steel (laser cut), it all adds up.

Yeah but at that point you may as well just buy new assembled unit - they go now for around 1300 - 1200. I expect the price to drop under 1000 as production increases due to demand.
I don't know Tom, I don't see them getting cheaper. Certainly not anytime soon.
The KMS is $1400 on sale.
Here's one for $2500.

I looked like two weeks ago at prices and they were around 1300 - so went down 200 in just two weeks. I expect to drop under 1000 in at most few months.

Probably trying to figure out how to apply ever changing tariffs...
Jokes aside, I did check and mine shows prices.
