After burning out my little dremel tool, taking down the bolsters on a Dexter Russell & a 12' Sab. I bit the bullet
& ordered a real belt grinder. I found a place online where I can get Norton SG Blaze belts.
What would be a beginner level assortment of grits to stock pile. nothing too extreme, something for minor tip repair,
on ODC that I come by, & putting my fat german knives on a diet.
 
60 for metal removal, then 120. After that, you just refine the surface. I use gators after that.

Have tentatively settled on a Leeson 2 Hp 3 phase TEFC 1740 RPM, with a 56 HC housing. will pair it up with a KBDA-27D with digital readout
& a trim pot for speed control
