I was planning on getting a cheap jig to learn that way instead of the drill doctor or something similar. I also need to perfect my chisel and axe sharpening but wont be able to do that very well on a non-variable speed grinder i think.

I went with the jet. In my limited current space I think getting the multi tool and having a belt/disc on one side and a grinder/wire wheel on the other will accomplish 4 jobs in one. Thanks!

Roger that, you dont have a hp/amp rec for running the beltsander? I was a little unsure that a 1/3 hp el cheap could handle stock removal without bogging down.

That what I was thinking. I used to have a bench sander in highschool and used it all the time for wood projects and knifemaking. Just need to setup some kind of dust collection as its in a trailer.

I’m currently in Louisiana. If I had a home shop I would buy an older model and restore it. I started doing that in middle school/high school with a Delta Rockwell drill press and scroll saw that were 4 times my age. Just don’t have a place for that right now and need something to tide me over...

I can get a Jet 1 HP 8” bench grinder on sale at HD for $179 currently. I’m torn between that and a bench grinder/belt sander combo. I could buy the multi-tool conversion kit but that’s another $300. I’m 25 years old and just building out a tool trailer for all the hobbyist stuff I do, I don’t...
