Travis Wuertz surface grinder basic review

You are right Justin.
Many people, however get their satisfactory enough tolerances by working slowly with a platen/disk. What makes a lot of difference, imho, is the possibility to foot switch on/off the machine, and checking often with a mic. to know where to put the pressure.
It is not the foolproof way to go, neither the faster, probably, but makers like Tony Bose and B.Bump has gotten incredible results...
That said, if/whenever i could afford to buy a surface grinder (or this attachment) i'll be a happy camper :)

Oh there are definitely those that can get amazing results by hand. Some of you guys are machines unto yourselves.

I probably had "good enough" results, but my OCD just wouldn't shut up. That and I've only been grinding knives for a few months and wanted to take a shortcut of sorts, bypassing my lack of skill by utilizing a tool that removes "me" from the equation a bit.
 
Starting from flat and parallel definitely makes all the other operations easier :thumbup::thumbup:
