just reading this now the grinder does seem very good for the price point and I have heard of plenty of people wanting the kmg but they are a lil short and end up getting the grizzly and putting the change toward belts or something else this would be a good option to get a grinder closer to what you want.
as for for the gloves not on the grinder but not because its not safe its cause I want to tell if the steel is getting to hot as I grind after HT, but yeh I wear all sorts of baggy clothing a lot of the times I get up get a cup of coffee and go work on a knife in pajamas and a hoodie
