[Woodcarver] 1

[Byron]

I have a 1" standard belt sander that I use the for sharpening.  I bought a set of belts with grits for shaping and sharpening blades and a leather belt.  I actually prefer it to a grinding wheel.  The belt runs slower, and because of it's length it runs cooler with less chance of taking the temper out.  I use to sharpen both my carving tools and my turning tools.
