Thread: Anyone have any thoughts on the OBM grinder?

Not a bad looking set up. Went to variable speed several years ago and wonder what took me so long. One thing I really like about it is the 1 1/2" tooling arms make it easy to interchange with my KMG. One thing I don't like is the yellow one has plastic idler wheels, go for the aluminum.

I love my KMG, and have a lot invested in tooling and such, but if it'd been available at the time, and knowing what I know now, I'd have went with something like the KMG TX. At the very least a grinder capable of tilting 90 deg. would have eliminated my horizontal edge grinder.
