Sorby Pro Edge Belt Grinder

[Mark Koury]

Hello to all,

Anyone have any recent feedback on this grinder? The last I saw was from several months ago. I also can’t seem to find any in-depth reviews on the net. I’m considering a belt-type grinder. This looks good - fairly simple - cheaper than the Baldor version but costing more than most of its type. It has enough bells and whistles to make it interesting, though I wonder where the motor is made?

just sold to "non forum" woodworkers :)

I have one and sold the Tormek.

What convinced me were the pictures a Swedish toolmakers sent me of his workshop machinery; just belt grinders, no stone grinder like tormek.
Sharpening can be easy.
