The Coot is a two wheel. It is hard to look down on the edge of your knife while grinding without sanding off a patch of your forehead. They can be modified, but it takes some machine building skills.

A basic KMG in a platen model will carry you for a long time. As skills and needs arise you can ad super easy to change attachments to suit your evolving style. Over built to last many lifetimes there is no better bang for your buck. Abosoluty the best grinder made, but with a mid range price tag. If somethng happens and you have to sell it, you will find they hold their value. I would be interested if anyone had heard one single complaint about the KMG. Other than they don't have one...heehee.
