Ok I ran into thus on youtube this am. maybe you guys have seen it before maybe not but it looks interesting...the website says not for sale. And not distributing . don’t say why.
The concept looks good and I’m sure that the combined intellegence hear can devlope a usable tool.

Yes, it seems like that shouldn't be too hard to build yourself. Use a decent grinder, some mounts, and an indexing tool.

As to why they are no longer selling, I'm assuming they got sued by
http://www.sharp-rite.com/
for trademark infringement or something like that.

Take a look at

This grinder looks a heck of a lot like the Oregon 511 or the Northern Tool clone. The Northern Tool clone runs around $100 (sometimes $89), and you'd be 85% of the way there.
