Welcome to Hardcore Grinders & Products

Arrived sooner than expected, well packaged, and appears heavy duty quality/well manufactured. Waiting on other components to arrive so I can test it out!

This pedestal is high quality. Comes in 3 pieces and bolts together. It is powder coated black. A must have if you’re buying a grinder in my opinion.

Purchased this grinder and pedestal for my welding shop. Packaged professionally on a crate all screwed down. The unit requires a bit of assembly. Package comes with a PDF on a thumb drive of the exploded view and word doc for assembly. Josh was great to work with! Buy once with this belt grinder.

This is the perfect tool if you need to cut screws for any assembly job. It’ll make clean cuts and not mare the threads which is much quicker than other options.

I love this machine! It runs so smooth. Dead nuts accurate vertically & horizontally.

Josh (csales/customer service) was very helpful with the sale & delivery. Made buying a pleasure.

We operate Bitterroot Handle Works manufacturing knife handle materials. We run this machine six days a week with excellent results. Like all Hard Core products it runs smooth and quiet and engineered to the highest standards of any equipment we have owned. This machine has paid for itself many times over and has never once had a failure after over 2000 hours of use.

This fixture has been a game-changer for me. Its ingenious design caters to both beginners and seasoned experts, offering a seamless experience for honing our grinding techniques. The centrally placed upright post coupled with the swiveling mechanism ensures precise clamping and even grinding without the hassle of constantly unclamping. Achieving consistent angles and symmetrical grinds on both sides has never been easier. I particularly appreciate the inclusion of the UHMW plate, guaranteeing smooth movement on any work rest surface. It's a must-have tool for anyone serious about perfecting their craft.

The QC grinder is an absolute masterpiece! From its solid billet aluminum construction to the precision of its variable speed motor, every detail exudes excellence. It's not just a machine; it's a game-changer in my workshop. With its effortless tool changes grinding has never been more enjoyable or efficient. It's the ultimate companion in my craft, elevating every project to new levels of perfection and joy.

I grind a lot and I teach as well. If you want to increase your productivity this is grinder you need. It runs with the lowest vibration level of any grinder I have ever used. If you have to plant yourself in front of a machine to grind multiple knives in quick succession there is no better option.

I have been making knives for 20 years now and have never used a grinder as versatile at finishing and doing unusual grinds. I have done a lot of production grinding for knife designers. A lot of unconventional ideas from designers that most knife makers would deem a bit difficult.

Everyone I turned on to this tool thanked me be it made their life soooo much easier. You can take it off and put it back and not lose zero.

I use this tool on every folder I make. It’s so convenient to be able to snip the screws to the exact size. Keep up the good work

I have owned and used about 8 different grinders, the QC is by far the best. It’s so smooth and quiet to operate compared to the others. With almost zero vibrations I can clean up a grind very quickly without any deep scratches from the grit.

I’ve had the chance to use this grinder, and own/use my dedicated Hardcore 1” Rotary Platen belt grinder almost daily. Simply put…the best belt grinders I’ve ever used.

This fixture is a must have for any folder maker. It’s uses are only limited by your imagination. It’s allowed me to better understand my lock up and help me produce more consistent work.
