Want to thank everybody for the advice, I decided to go with the Reeder belt grinder simply because I like the idea that I could go into the horizontal position. I’m not a knife maker, rather an amateur machinist like most people here. These things seem very effective at shaping metal and can be very quick at hogging it down especially at the high-speed’s and larger grit sizes especially with the ceramic belt. I’ll post some pictures when I have it set up
