Koval knives sells the Kalamazoo,I own one and use it for ruffing my handles and pre shapeing guards.I would recommend the Coote,changing belts is a pain on the Kal.Also doesn't seem as smooth as the Coote I got to use.

On a related note, Why can't they seem to make seemless belts?
T-shirts and socks can be made in a looping weave with no seams--Why not belts? That friggin' "bump bump bump" when I'm on the platten just gives me a rash! There's a lot of $$$ in it for the guy who perfects seemless grinding belts!! __________________ Andy Garrett https://www.facebook.com/GarrettKnives?ref=hl Charter Member - Kansas Custom Knifemaker's Association www.kansasknives.org "Drawing your knife from its sheath and using it in the presence of others should be an event complete with oos, ahhs, and questions." |

I agree,I found that with the plattencover it doesn't bump as bad but also wears out really fast.A seamless belt would be worth at least an extra dollor.

Grizzly Knife Belt Sander/Buffer
I have been using Griz for 3 years with no major problems. This machine runs fast and there is no reasonable way to slow it down. This grinder comes with a motor. If you simply cant afford anything else and dont feel up to making your own then go for it.
