Knife Sharpener Attachment for 2 x 72 Belt Grinder

[garycullen]

I made a Knife sharpener attachment for my 2 x 72 grinder. I got an ad sent to me for a Ken Onion knife sharpener (They have a video of it on Northern Tool) and my OCD kicked in so I decided to make one. I used a worn out 60 grit belt. It works like a charm. I only tried the 15 degree angle on a filet knife. (30 Degree total angle). I ran it through each side a few times and then used the inside of the belt as a strop.(Be very careful) It cuts paper like butter. I shaved my arm a little but it pulls. With the correct belt this will put a wicked edge on a knife. I wouldn't use it on an expensive knife but I have a drawer full of dull kitchen knives I going to sharpen up.
