It occurs to me I ought be able to do just the tip by hand. Thanks, Tom K. and RicWilly. I now realize the answers to my questions were already there I just didn't think it through. My wife has decided I'm probably getting myself one of these belt sanders and the belts for Christmas. I'm pretty excited about it.

Is it possible to use the belt sander for all or most all of my sharpening needs? my arthritis won't let me do delicate work with my hands for very long so I picked up an Accusharp but I feel guilty every time I look at it. If I could do my sharpening with the Harbor Freight belt sander I think that would ease my guilt and let me raise my head among men once again. Which belts would I need to do it all with the belt sander? (assuming that's possible, I can handle it not looking as pretty as it might otherwise look) I know the video says which belts to use but it also assumes I'm doing some work by hand, I don't know if I can just skip those steps or what.

From a fellow sufferer of arthritis..... I find it easier to use the belt sander. Actually gripping the accusharp is harder on my fingers than using the belt sander.

If you get it for Christmas you are going to love it.

Right itself -- that right of which you speak so reverently -- owes it's very existence to the sword.
There is no justice until the sword creates it, establishes it, guarantees it, gives it substance and significance.
First the sword, then government, then law, and then justice.
