im looking for a belt grinder and dont have a ton of money so im wondering from what models are worth buying and which are not. i would like to have a 2"x 72" , the way i see it is there is not a point in buying a smaller one than i really want. i also dont really every plan on doing hallow ground blades. mostly flat and convex grinds. thanks for your help.

That was asked fairly recently here: http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=110;t=003632
I've used my Bader B2 for 20 years with no problems, but I haven't tried others to compare it to.
Do a search. I have a really nice variable speed 2 x 72 for $ 565. I have put it thru it's paces and it does everything I need it too. The guy who built it is a garage builder who knows a lot about building a great grinder. I can get you his phone number if your interested.
