It is fast enough for me. It takes me about 10-15 min to rough grind the blade part on a stock removal blade. I have used a few KMGs and KMG clones and some other home made grinders. I am a grinding oddity I like my little grinders they are what I am used to. I have a little different perspective on grinding than most other people.

Update...getting it all together, found a Baldor 2HP 3ph motor for $100 & its brand new. I stopped the train at an electric motor place that I have been wanting to stop at and it was a surplus motor that he had from buying out another shop. I just need a drive wheel, VFD, and some small stuff to have it ready to go...I think.

Do you have 3 phase service in your shop, or do you use a converter? Is the motor single speed or variable? Good find, in any case!

The Variable Frequency Drive will take single phase and convert it as well as slow down the 3450 rpm to wherever I want it...

Cool! I am using a variable speed, DC motor from a thread mill, and it has 10 speeds to choose from - much better that step-pulleys!

Your setup is a lot like mine. I love the idea of the contact wheel on the platen. I'll be getting one asap.

+ to that - I've had a 2inch contact wheel at the top of my flat platten set up for several years - very handy in many applications!
