OH Happy Day

[lorax]

Don't ya just love getting a new tool!? I just had to share this. Yesterday my Proxxon LWE grinder grinder arrived, and My plan worked. I took my carbide bit from my Arbortech mini grinder, drilled it out to 3/16 and put it on the grinder--and it worked like a champ. Over the time I have had my arbortech mini grinder, I have replaced the belt (9.00 ea) 7 times, and it's getting kinda old. Plus it's a lot quieter, so wifey will still be able to hear Fraiser while Im in the basement grinding away. It has a gear driven head so even though the motor isn't as big, you aren't limited by the lttle rubber belt.

Â* Â* I'm happy to hear about your new tool but when I checked back here before logging off and saw your 'subject' I thought it would be an update on your health. Â*I (and I'm sure many others) have been waiting to hear how you're doing? Â*An update...please! Â*Callynne

Sorry Callynne, with all the hubbub I caused the first time---anyway, Im fine. Turns out it wasn't cancer at all, it was tuburculosos(sp). I had it, I fought it, I conquered it. It's calcified remains left a marble sized lump in my lung. Basically, If I ever have to use a steroid based medicine it could trigger the TB, but otherwise its harmless. thatnk you all for your concearn and prayers Lorax

Yippety Skippety, Lorax!!! Thanks for letting us know that...we've been worried about you. Glad you're just fine.

Lorax,
I know you made everybody's holiday bright. :-* :-* :-*
Take care of yourself Michele

Hi Lorax
Since I am always looking for new Powertools please fill me in 'what is a Proxxon LWE grinder grinder'??????? Is it only available in U.S.?? and what did you have to do to fit it onto a grinder? Why did you have so much trouble with the belt? I had problems at the beginning but I put the belt on the wrong way and I have mine A G. now for 4 years.
thanks for your answer in advance
