Does anyone have plans for a diamond wheel homemade grinder that is not to expensive to build?

My first grinder/cabber was a yard sale bench grinder that I paid $15.00 for. Most newer bench grinders have sealed motors and bearings. I built my own hoods and pans for it out of plexiglass. Granted it was only a 2 wheel machine, and I had to change wheels often, but it served me well until I was able to afford a proper 6 wheel machine. Don

I bought one of the Amber-Werx machines and it was a piece of CRAP!!! I got a refund after attempting to contact the builder about 100 times over a 3 month period. He simply REFUSED to acknowledge a problme that I wrote to him about the SAME DAY I received his junk. Stay away from him and his junkpile excuses for machines.
