if you want one now the simington is the best option. if you don't mind waiting you may luck out but ya never know when. keep an eye on ebay as they pop up from time to time. when i posted for mine i lucked right the **** out and got one locally from a buddy i never knew even had one. RDLawter i think his username is had a NIB RS2 he was selling but he wanted as much as a simington.
Thanks for the heads up. I need to read a comparison on the razor sharp to see what if that even makes sense.

IMO it work as it is when new BUT it's a dramatic improvement when srcarrs bearing slide kit is installed. mine came with the slide kit.

So what exactly are you saying. Silvey or Simmington??????????????????????

Nice thank you. I have some good leads going.
What does a new simmington cost anyhow???
$1k
Just had one delivered from Madsens, $1108.00 with 2 extra wheels and shipping. I already know it will be worth it, for me. Got tired of "waiting for one to fall in my lap."
Yep.
When I called Simington, they said I had to purchase from Madsens or Baileys, guess it's who you know?
Yeah, that's what I figured, it is a proprietary type of issue.
I'm sure being the only one in the square grind market had a huge part in jacking up their prices. Since they hold the entire market they can do what they want.
That being said... There are whispers in the wind about someone possibly machining the parts to make new grinders...

I have a silvey swing arm coming from a member. Thank you all.
