I wouldn't say I'm "new" yet, because I haven't made the move on any tools yet. I'm on a very fixed [small] budget, I don't have ANY tools at the moment. So I'm starting from scratch.
I plan on chopping up an old propane tank for a propane forge, and doing one of the forge tutorials online, with the help of my brother-in-law's welder/welding experience.
The basic tools (hammer's, files, vise) I can get a hold of pretty cheap off craigslist.
My concern is a decent grinder. I've seen a lot of really good ones for $200-2000. That's way out of my price range. I was able to find this grizzly grinder - http://www.grizzly.com/products/Combo-Belt-Sander-Grinder/H7760. I know the belt is short and might over heat, but that seems to be the only grinder that is anywhere close to my budget.
Does anyone have any good grinder recommendations for a low budget?
Any help is much appreciated.
