Foley Belsaw 1x30 belt sharpener

[Cryptomecanic]

do any of you guys use a F B 1x30 belt sharpener
I've been thinking about ordering some belts for it and bolting it on to a piece of plywood (to make it portable) and seeing if I could make some money sharpening resturant knives (would $ 5 per knife be too much to charge) I have files and stones too ,
Thank you for any advice

I was wrong it uses 1x44" belts and the frame is light enough it can be carried around pretty easily

I think you mean 1"X42". They are readily available and yes you can sharpen with it.

no, actually the Foley Belsaw takes a 44 inch belt. it will do fine with a 42 incher also.

very cool grinder /sander
