I have been using the Max for 4 months now and it is amazing. With the toobinator next to it with additional jigs, I have cut my work time down dramatically. I also have your surface grinder that I bought for the Toobinator a couple of year back. The surface grinder on the Max in the horizontal position is much nicer to use and easier for an old guy like me. I have been woodworking my whole life, blacksmithing for 25 years and bladesmithing for the last six or so. Your Max is probably the nicest piece of shop machinery I have ever owned. I am looking forward to what you come out with next.
Hi there! We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying our Diktator MAX 2x72 Tilting Belt Grinder and that it has significantly improved your work time. We are also glad that our Toobinator and jigs have been helpful for you. We appreciate your support and are happy to hear that our surface grinder has made your work easier, especially for a seasoned woodworker, blacksmith, and bladesmith like yourself. Thank you for choosing our products and we can't wait to see what you create next!
This was a fun build, though it did require some modifications to the motor bracket to get the motor mounted. The set screw for the drive wheel was missing, but I just ordered some for a few dollars, no big deal. The assembly manual is good overall, though not everything I purchased came with assembly instructions. Steve was super helpful and responsive to my questions, I can recommend Diktator.
Thank you for your positive feedback! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed building the Diktator MAX 2x72 Tilting Belt Grinder Kit and that our support team was able to assist you with any questions or concerns. We apologize for the missing set screw and will make sure to include it in future kits. Thank you for your recommendation and happy grinding!
I’m fairly new to knife making and I’m impressed with the Max grinder. Quality parts and great detailed instructions. My favorite function is the ability to tilt on side with little effort. I’m very happy with this grinder.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience, we aim for highest quality and value and we're glad you're enjoying your new Diktator MAX!
I have been a knifemaker for 30 yrs. Have a K & G grinder, a Bader 3, and this one matches up at a better price point. Best instructions to assemble I have ever seen (brilliant the way he has laid out a pouch belt that holds bolts etc in pouches for each step to assemble). What a breeze. Amazed me after completing the assembly it needed no adjustments. Smooth running. Easy to tilt. Don't hesitate if you are hunting for a tilt grinder. And no, not related and never spoken to him.
Hello, just wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful product, great instructions, impeccable attention to detail, and super fast turnaround!
