They specialize in metal working tools and have for decades. The make simple, unadorned machines that are known for their high value. Their 1" grinder and their 2" grinder have been used in knife manufacturing/finishing and by home forgers for years. They are great "starter machines" for the beginning knife smiths. According to the boys on bladeforums.com, they are great machines.
