Sorry... I couldn't resist! :cool:
 
I started out with a Cone-Loc Drum sander. It takes longer, but you can make a good knife with one.
I bought mine over 30 years ago from Bob Schrimsher's knifemaking catalog. Bob has been gone a long time, but I think he had the first mail order knife supply outfit. (I don't think I spelled his last name right)
Anyone who remembers Bob is a real old timer, kind of like if you remember when gas was $.30 a gallon.
You might do a internet search to find a Cone-Loc Drum sander.
 
Thanks Tom! After going back through the thread and reading it I seen that the name of it was mentioned and found it pretty fast online. Not sure if that is what I am wanting or not, but its an option.
 
I got mine from a friend of my father in law's. he got it in the 80's when he was making knives. He quit making in '88 and the grinder and all his supplies sat in boxes until 2008 when he gave it all to me after hearing I was interested in making a knife.
I just looked on the super grit website and found zirc. shop roll in 50 grit. I will have to try a roll. Should be better than the AO anyway.
