Gone all swanky on the 2x72?

Be darn nice to have, but haven't gotten to where I can justify it.
Don't have a good place for one either.


Build it or buy it?

Ever use it to sharpen mower blades?

Use a 4x32 with 30grit ceramic belts.
Never used anything like it. Eats steel, chews little balls of it right off.
Cuts so fast it doesn't get hot.
Used to think a 9" grinder cut fast. Not even close.
