- Yet another grinder thread . . . . - KnifeDogs. com Forums
I love my Reeder grinder, though I've not use other brands Among the basic requirements of: 2 tool arms and direct drive with VFD, I put a lot of value in Don Reeder's many years experience in the machine tool design business He knows how to design and build quality tools
- Looking for Grinder Recommendations | KnifeDogs. com Forums
There are a substantial number of choices nowadays, which tends to create option paralysis A good place to start is to ask the question about budget Grinders run from about $1000 for something like a Vevor on amazon; or a kit build from USAKnifemakers (our forum host) Brodbeck gets mentioned a lot when discussing an a la carte grinder package
