As I am a newbie, I would like to ask why use a belt grinder instead of a 6" bench grinder? What are the pros and cons? I have used a benchgrinder to grind a few knives out of mechancal hacksaw blades, and this is what I found out:
bench grinders
1. vibrate like crazy!
2. get too hot to hold onto the blade very quickly
3. cant really see the plunge line as there is a shroud
4. can only get one side of the plunge line perfect
I have not used a belt grinder so cannot comment on it.
Please give some insights.
