I shit you not, when I started out, that little 1 x 30 belt grinder from Harbor Freight was a great workhorse for $50. Their 40 grit belts will last a knife or two each and you can order belts up to 1400 grit on Amazon for cheap ($7.88 for a 20 piece variety pack but slow boat from China).

Just watch some YT vids on how to true the wheels and make sure the tentioner goes all the way back with the belt installed.

I still have mine 4 years later and it still runs perfect. Useful for shaping handles, too.

This was the first thing I shaped on it years ago.
