1x42 and/or 1x30?
#1
Over the years, I have ownd three belt grinders. All of them happen to use 1x42” belts. I have believed that the larger 1x42 belt size was better suited for more serious work than the smaller 1x30 belt size. Last night I discovered the you tube channel of Cliff Curry (Curry Custom Cutlery). He has done some serious work with several 1x30 belt grinders, including changing bearings; truing wheels, and mofifying a Harbor Freight unit to work with the Viel scissors attachment and a DC variable speed motor. 

I was impressed enough with his videos to begin to think my position on 1x30” belt grinders. I like the smaller size Tormek T4. Is my opinion of 1x30 belt grinders not well founded?

Ken?
