Mine came in the mail last Friday. The website said it was $89.00 but my credit card got billed $105. It was shipped from WVA to NC - shipping was really $16.00?
Haven't had a chance to grind with it yet - still setting it up on a plywood base, etc. But I can confirm alot of what has already been said.
I followed the instructions and installed the top plate 3/8" over the midpoint of my 8" grinder. On my Woodcraft gringer, this took a padding board about 7/8" thick placed underneath the jig. Now I'm wondering if it really needs to be 5/8" over the midpoint.
Also, on the sliding arm for the finger grind tool, it kinda makes sense that the arm locks down and you slide ball/socket piece along the arm. But my issue is that the nuts that hold the lock down piece underneath the base are just loose so you have to get a wrench under there everything to tighten it (versus having the nuts welded to the base or the base just threaded. That part is going to be a real pain.
Also, you do have to remove the top plate everytime to use the finger grind jig. Not sure how much of a pain that will be - it does come off fairly easy though. I'll post more once I have a chance to grind some on it.
