After setting the bevel on my Insingo / Ti-Lock with my Edge Pro, I usually keep the edge up with the Sharpmaker and a block strop. There are times (not often) when I have a ding in the edge or get it really dull and I don't want to spend lots of time getting the edge back. I use my 1 x 30 belt sander to quickly get the job done. Usually, all I need is the 600 grit belt the the leather strop charged with green chromium, this gets a beautiful polished edge.
I also use 120 and 400 grit belts, but use them on "field" knives (fixed blades) and kitchen knives.

Warning, keep a steady hand, this machine will eat your blade up, don't mess up your good knife.:D

It is a full size work sharp! Getting a machine like yours in on my list:)
