Well...I had been wanting to try this system out, especially since I had only gotten a Harbor Freight belt sander. Finally got the time to get the stuff together and sit down in front of it today. WOW!! What a great system!! I bought the starter kit and assembled the wheels on my Porter-Cable 6" grinder (variable speed). Just followed the instructions and started off on my old crappy kitchen knives. Didn't take me long at all to fall into the process.

Sharpened two of my SS4's, B11, 6.5 Reg, DMCG, three Scrapivores and all of my kitchen knives. I even through a more aggressive penetrator tip on my EDC SS4. I felt that I had much more control than the HF belt sander. I'm sure some of the 42" belts are a bit better..but my HF hops all over the place and I can't fully control tension. I won't be using it again...

Big thanks for posting this. Each of my knives...even the thick 6.5 are hair popping sharp now!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
