I contacted one of their NZ customers for a reference and they couldn't say anything good about the paperweight of a T-Rex they had the misfortune of owning.
My initial interest in it was as a mobile sharpening service, rigged up to a moped, as a way to pay it off and be left with a decent grinder for my own use and hopefully some beer $. I had a reliable person lined up to run it, but decided it wasn't worth the headaches of fussing with a grinder that couldn't be repaired in the field and that others had said was a PITA to use. The idea got shelved, waiting for a grinder that would fit the brief perfectly.Also interesting that it runs off a 12V car battery.
Yeah, you never really know until you try it in person. Curious to see what type of edges it leaves.
This Logosol unit is a little less risky at $1,000. Their website says it has a 6 month user satisfaction guarantee, and a 2 year parts warranty.
Like Steve noted above - if you are doing a lot of chains, and it really saves on paid labor, you might be able to make it pay for itself in 6 months. Interesting that they seem to be using standard wheels and not the ABN or CBN wheels that Dinasaw uses.
Also interesting that it runs off a 12V car battery. Great for field work (storm clean up, etc.). Would probably want an 120V transformer for shop use.
Something that I would like to try / see / demo.

Yeah, sorry, should have been more specific - it was the T-rex unit.Kiwi, I assume you're talking yet about the Dinasaw unit in 12V?
