seams like just yesterday I made my first knife with a 1x32 jet belt grinder, well a little over a year ago lol, one thing I will agree with is to buy the best you can afford, I used that 1x32 for one knife, just one and then bought the grizzly which I use today, I have made a dozen or so knifes using a file and file jig but just don't like the amount of time it takes to bevel a knife with a file, I find the angle grinder works great for cutting out my designs.
Jim I put electrical tape around the wheel on my grinder which stopped the belt from traveling, single row in the center of the wheel about 1/16 thick did it for me, works like a charm.
