I started making knives a few years ago and bought my grinder. For my first grinder, it's great. The first thing I did was to round the back of the tool rest so I can swing it out of the way without removing it all the time. I put a carriage bolt with a wing nut (wing nut on top) to make it a lot easier to deal with. After a LOT of hours of use I needed to replace the motor. I made the choice to go to a variable speed motor - I wish I would have spent the coupe of extra dollars right out of the gate for that option. Now I have eliminated hours of hand work. Since the beginning I've upgraded my forge, anvil, hammers, and other things but I still have my Mini Diktator.
Thank you for sharing your experience with our Mini Diktator! Its great to see that you're still getting great use out of it after all of your shop upgrades.
