Was hoping everyone would say disc grinder but I think only one person mentioned that! Was contemplating about building one or another belt grinder ??

They are really two different animals. if you want to expand your arsenal with weapons for mangling steel & wood, built/buy a disk sander

I just took a post HT blade all the way to 2000 grit on just the disc yesterday. No hand sanding at all! Mines reversible but only runs at 1750 rpm so I have to be careful. It's good practice for when I get a variable speed one. It will be a piece of cake then!

My KMG tried hand filing a blade once.

In terms of hours, it would be my Bader III grinder. In terms of frequency, probably my calipers for measurement,

Good idea
