Title: New Addition to Shop
Post by: tippit on January 13, 2008, 12:55:00 PM
When Doug & Karen visited us before Xmas, I got all the scoop on how nice the KMG disc grinder was.  Well I couldn't resist, just got it set up in my little shop with the KMG belt grinder beside it.  With variable speeds forward & reverse, it should keep me occupied.  Now I just need to find a power hammer, etc, etc.  Doc

Speaking of cleaning up, Doug gave me a great tip.  I'm sure he won't mind me pass it on:

Use a bucket of water with a little dish soap in it...under your grinder.  The soap cuts surface tension of the water to catch a majority of your grindings.  Less clean up time to keep things tidy   :thumbsup:

My shop is just a 1/4 of my garage.  I don't have enough room for a dirty shop.  Things even get lost with it clean!
