Get shit done quicker

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.

Best Grinder

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.

Best around

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.
