A Low priced 2x72" Grinder

These came up in our Chat Room discussions last night. I hadn't heard of these before but they have apparently been around for a few years.

They seem to offer a very low priced entry point for a 2x72" grinder, comparable in price to a Grizzly but more versatile. I am not convinced of the long term durability of these grinders as they are built with some aluminum and nylon parts but a lot will depend on how much you actually use it. Also, by the time you add a contact wheel and a good motor, etc the total price could increase to the point where this unit isn't significantly cheaper than a KMG. Still, it is a 2x72" 3 wheel design that has a lower entry cost than I've seen before and for many beginners that might make all the difference....
