Took the welding class today, noticed that the brand new KMG has received damage. The 8" wheel has a fairly deep divot/line in it about 1/8" deep and 6 inches long. Also the tool rest that attaches to the underside is bent downward about 5-10 degrees.
It appears that someone was grinding and their piece was caught by the wheel. This would explain the damage to the tool rest as well.
Believe the tool rest can be repaired with a visit to the hydraulic press.
Anyone see any issue with me straightening the rest in this manner?
Also I owe for a belt on the grinder. I am happy to bring another one. How are supplies for this being handled?
Thanks
