I have always wanted a big grinder that can remove large amounts of steel quick. They are really handy for grinding metal to fit for welding, knife making and general fabrication. Years ago I got to play with a Burr king but the price always held me back. Now there are a variety of options of so called "grinder in a box" kits that you generally add a tooling arm or two, motor and wheels and you have a functional machine. I got the kit from Polar bear forge- never dwelt with them before but for $250 bucks, price was right.
The 1/2" thick steel plates arrived in a heavy crate via flat rate. Basically these things are a bunch of 1/2 laser cut steel pieces that assemble into a 2x72 grinder with different attachments and wheels that can be put on it. I got both a flat platen and giant 12" wheel to setup the machine.
Added a 3 hp inverter duty 3 phase motor with a Teco L510 vfd.
Here are a few pics:
