Bucktool Belt Disc Sander 1x30 inch Belt and 6 inch Disc

Muy bueno

We run a knife sharpening business in North Vancouver, BC. called Cove Blades. We also provide training on how to sharpen on 1x30 machines and how to set up your sharpening business. After trying numerous other machines over several years and even building some up from sewing machine assemblies, I can safely say this machine is by far the best out of the box 1x30 machine for sharpening knives and scissors. 1 - It's low speed, perfect for sharpening, and for learning, other high speed ~3600 rpm machines will burn blades quickly if you are not paying attention, not great for training. 2 - It's well built, very little vibration and feels rugged 3 - Dust collection, port at the back of the machine, not the side 4 - Angle Guides, it will take almost any standard angle guide with little or no mods 5 - Reliable, never had an issue Nearly all of our students have one, highly recommended, and no, we are not affiliated at the time of writing this review.

This is a great machine and all you really need if you want to seriously sharpen. It’s so good you’ll want another!! So easy to change belts so make sure you have an assortment on hand!! The vacuum port actually works as it should!! Who knew!!??

I bought the low speed 1x30 sanding combo for sharpening knives. I have only used it on one streak knife so far, but it was impressive. I put a 400 grit paper on it as well as a leather strop wheel on the grinder side. It cut paper like the U-tube videos after about a minute no problem. My father was a tool and die maker and he told me when I was growing up to not let the metal get too hot, and this unit does that without any problems.

Excellent tool for sharpening
