OK, just got done playing with my 2x72 for the first time.
All I have to say is for those of you like me hwo were putting off this purchase, don't. If you really expect to make knives, even just like one a month, this will make your life SO much easier. All I have is the basic grizzly, and it was just amazing watching that steel disapeear. And the 9" platen just doesn't even compare to that little thing I used to have on the HF 1x30. I have no problem with having started with the 1x30, I couldn't afford the 2x72 at the time, and this was the best way, but it was definitely worth skrimping and saving to pick up the grizzly.
So just repeating what I heard a million times. Dno't think you can really understand till you try it yourself.
