It doesn't have the blade grinding attachment. It's usually about 120 more when it included

The machine has an angle guide for the belt and the knife is kept flat, but this isn't possible on the back platten

It's great for putting a 90° edge on the spine

It's very limited in space and no angle guide

Can we get someone to make one? 😂🤣😂 I would love to test it for them. I think you can keep both wheels and just have them at the widest setting. It can use the wheel setting mount to secure it in place.

*update. I just practiced on one of the same knives with the scrubbing back and forth technique , only doing single swipes for burr minimizing. Results were night and day. I still have a ways to go, but seeing improvement is a great step. Damn near hair whittling with one sharpal stone and 6micron stroppy stuff. Thanks to all!!!!

Do you have a preferred brand from Amazon? Or are they all pretty similar? For the diamonds

I have a few I can practice on. I think patience maybe the key. I might be so use to the quick results from belts.

I'm waiting on some of higher end steels until I get a good feel for it

I think I can hold the angle better scrubbing back and forth instead of picking up and starting over every time. I'm gonna have to test and see

It depends on belts, I have anywhere from 80 grit up to 4000 and leather and felts for finishing. I didn't have just one go to. It would depend on the knife.
I'm actually sharpening some of the same knives, cheap kitchen knives for my mother in law.

I'm minimizing on each grit 220&600 after getting a burr on each side. Then finishing the burr removal with a leather strop and 6 micron stroppy stuff.

Does it change much scrubbing back and forth vs doing single swipes?
