Not much. Wintersteiger bought Grindrite in 2000 and basically dissolved them. Parts getting harder to come by.

Grindrite is preferred because those machines will run off household 220v. More recently made machines usually require 3 phase 220v which I do not have access to in my current shop.

Vinman 3 phase is no longer the issue it used to be, VFD variable frequency drive converts household 220 to 3 phase plus with the advantage of speed control. Like most electronics the price continues to drop. For less than $200 you can run most 3 phase motors on household voltage. Many motor control firms are able to sell past models for big discounts as newer models come out.

I have a home shop with a Bridgeport mill along with three other 3 phase machines that I run using VFD's for over 20 years.

Good to know. If the time ever comes that I need this I may research this more.

Thanks
