Advice needed.

I recently upgraded to a cheap 1x30 belt grinder from harbor freight from the old file method. The machine sucks… needing suggestions for a belt grinder that wont destroy the bank but isnt a harbor freight piece of garbage. Thanks in advance!

There are some 1x30 grinders on Amazon that are variable speed. I don't have one, and haven't used one, but variable speed would make a 1x30 much more user friendly.
Keep in mind they would still be limited compared to a 2x72.

Other than that Grizzly has a 2x42, that they may have fixed the bugs on by now, that might be promising.
