Russell -- if you buy and burn up 6 of those Home Depot belt sanders... and it sounds like you're getting there... you've more than paid for one properly designed, component-repairable $700 grinder.
Here's another thought: I agree: time *is* money, (which is doubly true for the self employed people like us than it is for salaried employees) so, decide how many hours you can allot to building a burly grinder - there are plans available -- and see how it would compare to buying the $700 grinder.
A real good question is if you have welding in-house.
