Hi guys, I'm looking for a belt grinder to start making some knives, but I don't want to break the bank, do any of you know of some belt grinders that are under 200? any help would be much appreciated. thanks a lot

Yep 2x42 is what I am using and be careful and you can make a nice knife. You will need to get a ceramic platen for though for you to make nice plunge lines.
 
ill check it out then, thanks guys! i have a 6" bench grinder right now that i can use too

Another vote for Craftsman 2 x 42 - but maybe consider a 9" disk grinder too.

Pretty good little grinder if you don't get in a hurry. I've build a new platen and tool rest that I like much better than what came with it. I also use a Craftsman 4X36 to do some of the rough work. I'm considering a disc grinder if I can find one that's not too expensive since knifemaking is just a hobby.
