Jacek Robotka Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Hello,I am looking for where to buy/order belt grinder without motor. I have found Kalamazoo Grinders.Does anyone know where to buy or order one, or does anyone use Kalamazoo one?http://www.knifekits.com/vcom/product_info.php?cPath=49_207&products_id=3802&osCsid=l6ctk0iplp5k001rdqg85f3jg6thanksJacek http://jorgencraft.com/ http://modern.jorgencraft.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bret Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Hey Jacek, I have had this as my sole grinder for about 15 years. It was free at the time because it was old. I can tell you it is a good grinder that will last you a while. But if I were to purchase a grinder it would not be this one. If you have several grinders and you need one for a good flat platen then this is a good one, but one of the 72" with the interchangeable interfaces like the KMG would be my choice if I had only one grinder.

Doug Lester Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I would recommend a Coote grinder over a Kalamazoo it's a more flexible machine. However, you will have to order it from the factory. Doug HELP...I'm a twenty year old trapped in the body of an old man!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B. Norris Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Have you seen this post? Making Grinder At least it is on your side of the pond. It looks like an incredible tool but, you may want to pick it up in person! If you choose to go this route. Be sure to read the last post. Not sure what your budget is or why you would be looking at a Kalamazoo, in the UK? ~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...
KevinJohnsen Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Does anyone know where to buy or order one, or does anyone use Kalamazoo one? I have both used them quite a bit and actually MADE those. Was employed by Kalamazoo Industries up till last year when I found a better job. They are decent enough, you can buy them from multiple suppliers or from the company direct. MSC Direct will likely get it to you faster. They tend to be a month or 3 behind direct from the company. Especially after I left and they have had trouble finding another lathe guy of my caliber to work for what they want to pay. http://www.mscdirect.com/browse/?searchterm=Kalamazoo&searchAhead=true&searchAheadTerm=kalama&typahddsp=Kalamazoo&hdrsrh=true http://www.kalamazooind.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
