Mr. Nishida, from Kagu Kobo Nishida, uses his favourite 'Nakanishi Grinder' regularly.
Mr. Nishida's furniture pursues the 'real' to the ultimate. The balloon-shaped drawer is an example. Normally, most people's eyes go to the balloon itself and don’t notice the tied neck and lip. Mr. Nishida however carefully completes even the neck and lip. Nakanishi's precision grinder plays an active part in the pursuit of such beauty and realism. The size is easy to hold, so even when cutting small holes you can work with your own hands. The grinder Mr. Nishida previously used tended to often stop when cutting hard woods. With the Nakanishi grinder however, it is possible to work smoothly and efficiently while adjusting the rotation speed. It is indispensable for Mr. Nishida's work.
