Vladislav Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) Thank you. It's good to hear. I will try to answer your questions in order. I registered a company in Prague for the production and sale of these machines. I think it's a good idea. (company's website address - in my profile. Link here do not show that did not seem to advertising) My machine (I hope) a little better TW-90 , the price is lower and they can be purchased in Europe, where it is not have to pay for the shipping from the United States Unfortunately, the details of my grinder is not compatible with the KMG. I do not like much in the design of KMG and I want to make my machines better. The idea of making the cover was inspired by the customer: labor protection and safety officers and other ... all right. But! My design does not provide for any manipulation of the cover to change the belt - cover does not interfere with this operation. I want to offer my customers a reliable, powerful, comfortable and beautiful machine. The best!And I am most pleased to work on this. Edited September 13, 2013 by Vladislav WBR, Vladislav.

B. Norris Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 This is my protection against belt breakage at the grinder! Protection from belt breakage is secondary to prevention of particles spraying in between my face and glasses as I work. Much, much, much, cheaper than a trip to the Opthalmologist to remove a metal splinters from ones eyes. Are you planning to sell your machines painted or bare? I for one, would pay extra to get a machine that did not require paint. ~Bruce~ “All work is empty save when there is love, for work is love made visible.” Kahlil Gibran "It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them." - Alfred Adler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 Good protection. Universal Yes, I plan to do a polymer powder coating. Plus phosphating bare surfaces for corrosion protection. WBR, Vladislav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 The famous Russian wild imagination. When the machines of this design will be ready for sale - I will include this option.

VaughnT Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Wonderful to watch the progress of your enterprise, Vladislav. When me and my father built the KMG clone, I immediately saw the usefulness of a rotation in the grinder. Whether working with wood or making knives, being able to switch from vertical to horizontal is very convenient. Sadly, we didn't realize this and were stuck with a non-rotating grinder! Offering "custom" designs for the guard? I think that's brilliant! If it's not too much trouble or inconvenience, it would be a great way for the customer to personalize their machine. Very much looking forward to seeing this come to life. When reason fails... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) Thank you. During the assembly of machines I have concluded that the automatic stop (e.g. as on the TW-90) is necessary. The heavy rotating part shall be securely fixed. Arm need to press down - it's easier than pulling it up. (as far as I know). All controls are convenient and are available at any position. It seems to bad it turns ... All next machines will be equipped in such a retainer. Edited September 22, 2013 by Vladislav WBR, Vladislav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Stephens Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 How much will they cost? -----------------------------------------------"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly." -- Theodore Roosevelthttp://stephensforge.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 How much will they cost? Shipping to Alaska is very expensive to get (the machine weighs about 60 kg), and the dealer in the U.S. I do not have yet. The prices can be found here WBR, Vladislav.
