Out with the old.....

Finally replaced the who knows how old grinder that I've been using in the shop, I figured you guys would appreciated the sticker on the front of the new unit.

Old and busted

New hotness

needless to say I'm thrilled with it and hope to never use a stone disc again.

I bet the old one is crazy heavy. Nice choice on the replacement!

Nice choice on the new machine, but wow is that old one cool. Don't dare junk that stand, that thing is way cool. What broke on the old one?

nothing, still works fine, it's just short on power and I'm not a big fan of the stone wheels. I certainly don't plan on junking it, I'll probably put a wire wheel on one side and find a nice cozy spot to tuck it into the shop in case I need it. I've never owned a belt grinder but when I asked some relatives the number one tool they use the most in their shop that I didn't have they both pointed me towards a belt grinder, and after a couple of times using it it's east to see why.
