   I'd be interested myself, it looks like a good combination of functions.

   Exactly what I thought too. Why have a belt AND a disk - they do pretty much the same thing.

    

   BTW, I'm from the UK and in British English your name "Napie" although spelt differently ("Nappy") means diaper!!

   Yeah, I spent some time in the UK.  The origin of the nickname is a long story from the Harley ridding days........

   I'd disagree on the belt vs. disk issue though, a disk does not do much of a job smoothing long grain.  I use mine a lot to finish off the bottoms ot turned platters and bowls.

   I just received mine last month. Haven't had the opportunity to use it a whole lot but so far, I really like it.

   I have that unit.  I got it about a year ago, directly from Grizzly.  I really like it.  It's smooth powerful and easy to change spindles on.  It's a 12" disc, though, not 10"  It replaced a vibrating piece of junk belt/disc combo by Craftsman.
