 :coffee2: Thank you for reading and voting.

As of 12:50 PM EDST, here are the polling results tabulated from this and 2 other sites.

There's still time to vote, if you haven't already.

It's official. The next Torqueman restore will be the Baldor 1.00-HP 0.75-HP 'Big Red' grinder.

The Block 1.00-HP was 6 votes out of first place, with 14 out of 58 total votes, that is about a 10% difference.

In third place was the Milwaukee 1.00-HP, also big and red, with 12 votes, just about 4% less than 2nd place.

Well the internet has spoken. You want big grinders!!

OK, I hear you, scary as they are, I will begin tomorrow, if not sooner!

Thank you for helping me choose between some very deserving grinders!

Oh yes, Happy Easter!  :)

I found old PhotoBucket pictures to an October 2015 thread: '3/4-HP Baldor grinder model 862RE - Now runs' and decided to reactivate it and put back the original pictures (not hosted by PB).

It is on that 'other' site. If you really want, I can post a thread here also, other wise please follow the link.
