have any experience with Reeder Products 2x72 belt grinders? I'm looking into stepping up my belt grinder from my 4x36 adapted to a 2x48.
Belts are cheap for my setup now, but I am limited to a flat platten and a 5 inch contact wheel. Not to mention it's single speed that is about 1750 fpm from a 1/3 or 1/2 hp motor.
I have been looking at the ones on the bay that are cheaper for the frame, but with overpriced shipping and then still needing to set up a motor and step pulleys to make it "variable" speed, I'm at least if not over the price of the Reeder. Also the Reeder looks to be better built with lower shipping. About a third of what some of them want.
So just curious if anyone has used or seen one in use before.
