Looking to rehandle a couple knives and cut my teeth on some kits as well- so very little metal grinding going on.
So that being said, would a HF or big box store model suffice? I know many smiths advocate for at least a griz, but I'm not sure that those grinders aren't a wee bit overkill ETA: Would a 1" or 4" model be better? |

What you want is a sanding station or a drum sander.
Grinders are ONLY for ferrous metals or metals that spark. With a sander you can sand all types of metals, woods and plastic. Harbor Fright should be fine if your on a budget. Yes there are better Manufacturers out there but just get what you can afford. Maybe check out Craigslist. Edit- just re read your title. A 1" belt should be just fine. |
