Plenty of time left. I have no reason for moving fast other than I have other projects in line so I need to knock this out.

Lots of time left I bet I will be the last guy to finish because I have to do all the work with a file lol.

Hey Slacker, do you think the sears 2x42 belt sander would be worth the money to start out? its around the 150 mark

When all you have are handfiles, I would say any sander would be worth it's weight in gold. I still have 1x30 that I started with - mostly for sharpening. But if you have the cash handy the bigger craftsman would be very useful. And after you get your KMG, your craftsman would become a backup for doing handle work and sharpening. I think you can find some decent deals on eBay or Craigslist.

It is a good one to start with, I started out with it and I still use it alot. For the price you can't complain. If you upgrade it is still a great piece for the shop to do sanding, profiling and everything you ask of it. IMHO

check out pops knife supply online. I know he has some 2x42 belts. Not sure which ones available, but I would imagine you could get all of the basic grit sizes from him.

Yes at supergrit.com I have delt with for a while and they have done me right every time.

But you do realize that once you start grinding the fever will get a hold on you and you will want a bigger better machine.

Think I will throw myself in for this KITH. I love them, usually I have had to pull out but know I can get one done by July.
