    Great video on a topic that I get asked about all the time. Unfortunately I have found that I like two dif heights. One fore platen and one for contact wheel. There is sort of a happy medium though. Would be happy to share my thoughts if you ever wanted. Not that a former sword makers opinion should matter to the general public.

    All my Gen 5 parts look like they are arriving Monday, so this is a very timely post. My old grinder pedestal was never quite the right height AND the Revolution sits higher than my old grinder too, so I'll have to take a good look at that height before I build on it.

    Due to having a really bad neck, I had to raise mine way up (probably 6" or so higher) so I was not looking down as much or a few hours of grinding would be hell the next day. I have had to put a bigger spark guard on and wear a full face shield as it now wants to throw everything straight at my face. I also wet grind all my blades post HT so I have to wear a waterproof apron as well. My dust collector is a 2HP dust extractor with a 6" steel input into a 55 gallon drum (water and all) then into another 55 gallon drum made into a cyclonic separator then 20ft of 8" hose to the fine dust filter and fan motor. The water spray takes out most of the sparks, the distance takes out the rest. I have three 2x72 and 2 disc grinders on a single table on castors, I can pull the drum under whichever machine I am using. My hobbies can get out of control...

    By the way, I have a little question: is 2 hp motor with ~3000 rpm sufficient for 2x72 gen5 ? because it seems that motors with higher rpms are not available in my location.
