    The beast arrived!

    Upon reflection, I have to say that shipping was dirt cheap, considering the entire pallet weighed 175 kg (~350 lbs).
    Luckily it was easy enough to disassemble and carry downstairs. After putting everything together, it worked very well. The belts I bought are Zirkonium Oxide, and chew through the steel. The machine is built like a tank and feels very solid. The various joints for aligning the wheel on 3 different axes is very accurate and doesn't budge when it shouldn't.

    I'll have to duct tape the vacuum cleaner to the dust collector for now. Once I've sold a couple of things I'll buy a decent shop VAC.
