Thanks for the info. I'm getting ready to purchase my first grinder.

This is state of art industrial design and engineering. Ferrari of all grinders.

I love my AmeriBrade grinder so much that when I upgraded to a VFD, I decided to order a fastback for my single speed motor. This is an amazing grinder and AmeriBrade’s customer service is exceptional. I’ll be a customer for life.

This was the best informative video on 2x 72 grinders I have seen. He explains everything you need to know about buying one. Thanks for the info.

Got my grinder put together had it now about 2 weeks. Just won't to say thanks for the video. Kevin thanks to you for helping me out with all questions.

This video is gold! Before I bought one of your grinders, all I could find for videos was customer reviews, I found enough info from them to still choose this grinder but I bet this video will help make up a lot of people’s minds that much faster and easier! Great grinders!!

[lucky]

very excited to get mine in the mail soon. great set up video

[alexsteingraber]

If you need someone to test that platen chiller... I’m stoked for that! Great news!

[zaken]

Excellent video. I just ordered one of these and I had no idea it had this many features. Please make more of them.

My grinder had lines on the shafts that are close to correct settings. Seems like it was pre assembled by a knife maker ! The VFD IS awesome. The noise level is refreshing.The tutorials are excellent. So many functions I’m going to have to relearn knifes. Kind of no limits. I was thinking on giving up on precision. I love my KMG but things have changed in the last few years.Today ill make a tree to store the accessories as i think they will stay cleaner than under the grinder.

Can’t wait to get my classic frame in the next few weeks!!

[jeffpreskitt]

Just ordered a package deal today!! Super excited!!

you may want to add a note at 28:mins regarding drive wheel orientation for 1hp model vs higher HP. The written instructions pointed out that the drive wheel orientation (flat side in facing the motor vs flat side out) is different for the smaller HP motor.

Chomping at the bit to get my hands on this beauty!

[tomweaver]

Good job, important and helpful information for anyone purchasing a grinder. Mine is on order for first week of August. Confirms I ordered the best combination for me!

[dominickeen]

[tommyw]

I should have mine in a couple of weeks! I'm really exited and getting my shop re-arranged. :) The motor bracket and alignment gauge are shipped with the grinder it even if you have your own motor, correct?
