Ron, I, and I'm sure other members in metropolitan areas, could be encouraged to help with buying and shipping off of Craig's List.

This is what you want!

I gotta admit, that vid made my day!

That Baldor is a nice grinder.  The only issue I have with those is that it is difficult (and expensive) to get the proper wheels for grinding HSS/Cobalt.  CGW is about the only one selling them and in limited grits.  Most all the wheels I see for those are for grinding carbide.  (It sucks to be living in the past at times. )

Yep, you definitely know what I'm talking about.  Doesn't anybody need metalworking done in the state?   I don't get it.
