Yep, nothing bumps the frustration level up like repeated screwups on the part of somebody who supposedly knows what they're doing. That's one reason I just bought two crankshaft grinders! I got one parts machine at less than scrap metal price, and the other one in complete, running condition. It looks like the first one has less wear and tear than the one I got from a NASCAR billet crank builder! I just couldn't find anyone who was willing to grind cranks "my way" without demanding prices that would make Jesse James blush in shame!
