Took my local Jet authorized repair shop about a month to get it back to me.","subreddit_name":"knives","author":"zuriel2089"},{"body":"I started out with a 2x42 Delta 3/4 HP belt/disc combo.  I did have to modify the platen a bit by welding a proper back plate and then put corning glass so I had a flat surface to grind on.  I still use it but I did eventually purchase a 2x72.

You'll need an [angle grinder](https://www.harborfreight.com/corded-4-12-in-5-amp-angle-grinder-60372.html) with a cut-off disc for that. Then you need a [forge](https://www.ebay.com/itm/263460584600), a [hammer](https://www.harborfreight.com/hand-tools/hammers-pry-bars/4-lb-hardwood-engineers-hammer-69240.html) and an  [anvil](https://www.harborfreight.com/55-lb-rugged-cast-iron-anvil-69161.html) to flatten the upper half of the handle to a blade.
