[Woodcarver] 1" Belt Sharpening equipment query

[WorkingInWood]

Hi,
The basic machine that both Chipping Away and Lee Valley sells is manufactured by Viel Tools of 33 Beland st.L'Isle-Verte, Quebec, Canada, G0L 1K1.  Their website is: http://www.vieltools.com/index.php
They
also produce many jigs for this grinder.  As well as sharpening carving
tools I also use the scissor,  and knife blade jigs a lot.  I see they
also have a new jig for carving tools available.  I made up my own jig
for carving tools both palm and mallet tools so I haven't tried
theirs.  The blue zirconia belts they sell work very well and don't
heat up tool blades if care is taken.
They sell the basic machine both with motor or without.  Check out the Trizac belts they sell for this rig.  Excellent for putting an usable edge on kitchen knives (dull to sharp in less than a minute).
