That's a 1x30. Lots of guys try to start with those, including me, but most give up after a few days. They are terribly under powered and the belts are so small they wear out almost instantly. Personally, I can make a knife faster and easier with hand tools than with a 1x30.
Since you're in Canada I don't know if you'll be able to find that grinder of Jim's but it would be worth the extra trouble to try....
