KMG Grinder on the way...newbie with some questions

[Chris Williams 2975]

Finally...I have my new KMG Grinder on the way!!! YEAH!!!

I was curious if anyone would be willing to give me some insight on a "starter set" per se of belts to order to start learning on my new grinder. I have been using an old traditional belt grinder for some time, but have finally stepped up. I would greatly value any expertise as to a handful of belts (grits, brands, etc.) that would get me up and running.

Thanks so much!!!!! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!!

Chris

36 grit blaze, 80 grit, 120 grit, 220 grit, 400 grit, most hand sand from there.

60 and 120 grit blaze, 100,150, 100,65,45,30,16,5 trisact(?) from Norton . These will do all of the work in all of the steels after hardening. You can eliminate some but best to find out which that siit your working style and for what metals. Frank
