I'm a little afraid of dogs with horns, teeth are dangerous enough.

I was thinking in terms of making the thread more valuable by adding specific information on the use of specific belts for specific purposes. I know there are other threads on sharpening but I think here we are into very specific information on the use of belt sanders. This thread is touching on the subject in several places now.

The belt sander offers speed and more chores it can accomplish than other sharpening only tools. The belt sander has to be the main tool for just about anyone wanting to work with knives thus my thinking is it deserves it's own specific use thread.
