here is my grinder build so far, it is made from 6061 aluminum as we have a bunch of it here in the shop(i am a research machinist at Cornell U.) the frame and base was waterjetted, a machine that we just acquired last yr. just waiting on a motor and contact wheel to finish it...while looking at it i was wondering if there would be interest in a bare bones machine just like in the picture to get someone started and dont have the means of building one, all the rest of the stuff - motor, contact wheel, drive wheel, tooling arm and such can be purchased for it, dont really know what i would charge for it as its just a thought right now but just thought i would share the progress!
