Grizzly 1015


Seems like practically everyone has judging by the huge number of times this grinder gets discussed here. Search back through recent threads.
For the money, it's a very good grinder. Plenty of power, a large platen and has 8" and 10" wheels available. No other attachments are available. I still use mine even though I have a much more expensive grinder now...

Griz


I started out with the Griz, and it paid for a lot of my new tools. I have a much 'better' grinder now, but still use the Griz every time I am in the shop.

Super tool for the money.

Early on I asked several folks who 'moved up' if they would sell me their Griz... and they ALL said no.

Only changes I did to make it work for me were:
10" wheel to give clearance past the motor when grinding on the left side
and
Extra bracing with a stiff spring to hold the arm and eliminate the wobble.

Having a powerful grinder kept me at my knifemaking. I am not sure I would still be making knives if there were no grinders in the shop.

Good luck and happy grinding!

Dave
