I went back to the flea market today and looked at the Craftsman 1x42. It has a 1750RPM motor but with sleeve bearings, which a friend of mine tells me are "terrible".
I also was apparently being WAY overly optimistic about the price: Seller wanted $100. So I passed and will now have $100 more towards the Kallamazoo or other. I'm really heavily leaning towards the 1SM right now. I might press "buy" within the next hour...
Any recommended sources for belts, including scotchbright, leather, and linen? I'm thinking I might want to try deburring on linen with 1 micron diamond or CBN. Ken used to have diamond bars and maybe CBN emulsions too? We haven't talked in at least 5 or 6 years now, so the details are fuzzy for me.
Thanks!
Brian.
