Would like opinions on Belt Grinder

[bigbcustom]

Was leafing through knives illustrated, and came upon an add for the jancy radiusmaster. It tilts on it's side easily, and seems to have some other good features. Here is a link http://www.jancy.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=products.showProduct&productid=75 just saw this, and thought I would see what others think. Was dead set on a KMG before, but this kinda caught my eye.

Thanks Rocketmann, I found and read that thread after seeing your post. It answered a few questions for me, and created a few. It did, however, give me the same insights I was hoping for in this thread. I guess I should have done a search before posting (feeling like an idiot now).

Personally, I would recommend a Grizzly over the Jantz -but that's just me. If you really need the radius finishing feature, the Grizzly oscillating spindle sander will work well. Plus, those two combined are cheaper than the Jantz.
