This is going to be a great topic Ken and we are very happy to see that you are going to share the details with the Exchange. Almost every day we receive a call or email from people who are going to enter the sharpening game, either for fun or profit, but are lost with regard to the type and model of equipment and supplies they should buy. Experienced sharpeners like you are far better qualified to give advice in this regard than we are. Your thread is going to provide some very interesting perspective to issues that the novice may not even be considering. In that vein, we would encourage you to explain your modifications in the sense of not only "what you did" but "why you did it" for the benefit of those who don't have as many used-up abrasive belts tucked under their suspenders as you do. We should all give Ken a round of applause. He's invested significant amounts of time and treasure in developing these tools. Thanks for putting in the effort on these projects Ken and thanks, in advance, for sharing with the BESS Exchange.
