Tom,
Definately not what you want. This unit is far from a commercial product.

I agree, a very small "Commercial" grinder starts with 2hp motor, 220v, #32 head.

Just curious but what difference does the weight of the head make? :dunno:

I bought the Cabelas 3/4 for $280 from the bargain cave. It was brand new and only had a damaged box. :IBCOOL: I would recommend at least the 3/4, and possibly the 1hp if you can afford it or find a good deal.
