Based on the facebook comments it seems like they are targeting the most common sizes - ie: not necessarily standard shopsmith sizes. Understandable, but too bad.

Definitely curious what the long-term plan is.

Stay economically viable!

Diversification appears to be rising. - Good Sign!

Wonder what color/composition the abrasive is? Also where they are getting it/who is actually making it?
