KMG Option: You're getting TWO VFD/Motor setups and TWO complete grinders (verticle and horizontal) Base Plate is not necessary for the verticle grinder, so you can save $115 right there. I'm actually being generous on Motor and VFD prices as well, as I've priced them quite a bit cheaper in the past from various suppliers.
