Does this belt sander look decent?

Hey that looks nice Mudbug...pardon my ignorance, but are those 2x42 belts an uncommon size?
 
You want access to the edge of the belt. Most sanders of that type don't let you use the edge.

You can get 2x42 belts at Sears but the best places are supergrit.com and trugrit.com

I only buy belts at Sears if I can get a discount on them. I do use a lot of their 50 grit for hogging off wood and micarta on knife handles and some of my woodworking projects. Otherwise, I buy all mine at trugrit.com.
 
this is as you can imagine a pretty well asked questions, everyone see's the 4x36 grinders and thinks yep thats the same as what everyone else is using but really there not. If your planning on buying a grinder for a knife one day or another your going to want what everyone uses most, its been hard for me i have been waiting neally 3-4 months to save to build my own 2x72" grinder to start making knives yes its been long wait but in that time ive read more books watched more dvd and learnt more theory that i know will come into great use.

my opinion which at first i didnt like is to build your own 2x72, now straight off your thinking big $$$$ and things like that but i can be done cheaper and still have good parts ie if you search around you can find second hand motors for $20-$30, steel isnt too expensive especially if you source it from a scrap metal place, step pulleys and things like that you can buy second hand plenty on ebay. Just my 2cents worth anyway!
