Help me decide on a 1" x 42" belt grinder

Thanks Mike & Ken. Will definitely let you guys know what I think about it. Thank you guys for this thread & reminding me that I "needed" it & for helping me spend money that I shouldn't be.

BTW, if anyone is interested. The Zoro sale is 10% OFF $125+, 15% OFF $175+, 20% OFF $250+, 25% OFF $400+. Code JULYSAVE, good until the 19th.

And today only, ebay sale $25 off $119 which is an odd one, code PRIMO119. Haha ebay taking a stab at Amazon again, $119 is what Amazon Prime membership costs.

Hey, it's our job!

Got it today, yay! Just pulled it out the box to check for any damage & power it on. I think I'm gonna like this one! Unfortunately I have to put it back in the box & will have to wait a while before I can really play with it but at least I finally have it now!

While you're waiting, maybe it's a good idea to order a few of those ceramic belts, like 40, 80 120 grit,,like Mikey said ,I'm just doing my job.

Ok, will do. Been needing tomplace an order with Mcmaster soon anyway.

All good, only fair that it's my turn, I've helped people spend plenty of money in the past.

Yeah, Will, you have!

I did not see this thread when it was first posted, but if this thread comes up in a search, here is my modifications for the Jet 2x48. I flattened both sides of the platen, and used a 2x3 box tubing profiled, and welded to the platen, then added the ceramic face.
