View Full Version : Bench Tools for Knife Making and Sharpening

I am ignorant of bench tools and common sizes.

I may try to make a knife. I may try the Paper Wheel sharpening method. . .

I plan to buy the Harbor Freight 1"X30" Belt Sander and a Bench Grinder. Is there a good reason to get the HF 1X30 Belt Sander and Disc Sander combo or is the Belt Sander all I will need?

What wheel size should I get or does it matter? What spindle size is common 5/8 or 1/2?

Thank You,

Jim
