    This machine was made for manly men. It didn't come with instructions of any kind. Because we wouldn't read them anyway.
    And as far as safety instructions go, there is a small yellow sticker on the motor drive, showing a pictogram of fingers caught between the belt and drive wheel. Anyone operating this machine should be able to understand that you should watch yourself when the belt is running.

    If your going to use the vac then please empty the collection container everyday and do not mix wood dust in with it. I have seen a fire ignited on the shop floor at Doc Molenaars in Cannon Falls, MN more than one time.

    Where do you get the ceramic belts?
    I was pretty impressed by the zirconic belts. The alox belts otoh are pretty tame.

    I order them from a guy in England. They're a bit more expensive (150% or so) than the ZO belts but they last a LOT longer. And you won't BELIEVE what a 40 grit belt of the stuff will do to a billet. (you can PM me if you want his e-mail) But I'm hoping to be checking out 3M's new line of belts at the Dutch Knife Exhibition on the 20th. They're supposedly having a grinding workshop/demo there.

    I suspect it'll also be possible to buy or maybe order belts from them.
