    Still waiting. I did email last week to verify that the money arrived ok. No reason it shouldn't have, but transferring that amount of money makes me nervous. Not because I worry about hackers or whatever, but because I always wonder whether I used the correct reference number etc.

    My wife once wired money (800$ iirc) and accidentally switched the reference number and the account number. And through sheer bad luck, the reference number was actually a valid account number. Luckily it belonged to a company, and companyies automatically reverse the payment if the reference number doesn't match.

    Do they ship internationally? Where else can I get a grinder like that? I haven't been able to find one like that locally, alot of them seem to be custom.

    I think they ship internationally, but keep in mind that sending a hundred+ pounds of steel to the US will cost a lot of money.
    And yes, these things are all custom made. No big company will sell such things because there is only a very small market for them, and they violate a number of safety norms because all the moving parts are in the open.

    Anyway, if you live in the US, then your best bet is either a Bader or a KMG. They are made in the US and have a very good reputation. In the end you'll pay as much as for the model I've bought in germany, due to the difference between the dollar and the euro.

    Yesterday I got the confirmation that it was ready for shipping.
    I also just sent out an order for several bars of O1 and 52100.

    Nice! It looks to be extremely well designed. The Mercedes of grinders! Enjoy!

    I keep going back looking at it and changed my mind about borrowing it. I wouldn't want to put a speck on it. If it was mine I would probably grind for 5 minutes and clean it for 40. Sure is nice ! Can hardly wait to see what you make with it.
