Aluminum dump

[Wheels]

Yes Dan it is from the Buckeye State, we are about 40 miles east of Columbus, and the recently deceased grinder was a Dewalt Dw400.

I knew the 400 was too light duty for what I get into, but I put off getting a replacement. After the fatality I rushed to the local box store and picked up two DW28402`s to fill the void.
