My question was:
I'm considering buying a small Sutton shoe machine. Does anyone have a
source for a similar device that they prefer? We will be using it
primarily for grinding thermocork foot orthoses. I do not need the
self-contained dust collection system the Sutton offers as we have a very
effective external dust collector which will be attached.

I wonder if you may get any bites posting under 'for sale' on the forum at
www.oandptech.com. If you go ahead and put the information up, I will add a
category later today for 'looking to buy' and will move your post to the new
section. Thanks for your loyal patronage so far.

Ted,
In the last 4 years we have purchased 2 small Sutton type grinders. They
both have (2) 4 wheels. ( that's the way we wanted them set-up)
The first company is Landis-Letendre, in Quebec, Canada.
Phone # 1-800-634-0806....Web site www.landiscanada.com
The second we bought last spring from Atlas International, out of Rancho
Cordova, CA.
Phone# 1-800-545-6287, or web site www.atlasortho.com
I had problems with the one from Canada with shaft bearings gone bad about
18mos after we got it. Plus the Canada people were a little cheaper in price
but shipping made up any difference.
Both machines are nearly identical
Hope this helps

Ted, Daryl and I are finally setting up our new office. Can't answer your
question because we will be using a Sutton. But what do you have for a very
effective dust collector since we are in that market. At this point we are
going with individual units for one/two machines instead of the central one.

I have a Jack Sander that I am not currently using. It has a great 4 belt
and 11/2 belt and a shoe trimmer. It is narrower and more compact than a
Sutton. If you want, I can take a digital picture and send it to you. I am
not currently using this machine. I have not need for it. It is for sale.

I have a Grindpro 220 that performs as well as a Sutton but at a much lower
cost. Try Atlas International.

We just bought a new one from Prime Materials for about $6K and it works
great. It has two belts with excellent dust collection. This is the second
machine that we bought from Prime and both have been excellent. Ask for
Drew.
