Terry Primos Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I finally broke down and ordered a KMG from Rob Frink. I've talked to him about it for a few years, and I figure that this time when I called him, he thought "yeah, right". Anyway, I went all out and got the 2 HP variable speed with all the attachments. These two are the first ones off the new grinder. One's a Platypus, and the other is a one off prototype hunter. I won't be taking orders for the hunter pattern. It's a first shot at something I've been thinking about. There are more changes to made. Click the banner above to visit my website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Richard Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Terry, Both look mighty fine! Sounds like you and I got pretty much the same set up with the KMG. How'd you make out trying to find some 1084? Raymond Richard www.hawknknives.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpadilla Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 The knives look fantastic! I have the KMG and it works great although, it puts up a ton of dust. jp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGentile Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 jp, well grinders do have this nasty habbit... there are ways to deal it... get an old "industry" (steel) vacuum wet-cleaner... remove the "filter thing" and fill the "tank" with a bit of water... ready is your cheap dust collector... hook up some "pipeline-system" with a collector mounted at the close bottom to the wheel or other grinding tool... now I don't overrate this, it's nothing scientific, but I've seen it done and it seemed to work. A "professional" dust collector, of course is 1. safer, 2. less noisy & 3. more powefull for that purpose...
