guys, just go to an abrasives supplier on the web and have your belts made custom, for about 1/3 the cost of the Sorby belts. I have one of these, but keep a grinder around, too.
The main drawback is the proprietary belt size (30.5"). You will have to buy all of your belts from sorby at an exhorbitant markup. If they used a standard 48 x 2 inch belt it might be worth owning.
@123HURST Totally lame when they rope you into way overpaying for consumables. I hope they're satisfied that they'll never sell it to a lot of people because of that.
Hmm knife sharpeners have looked like this, a sanding belt, for decades ;) But I like the fact that it is not humoungously big.

As a sharpener I can't fault it but it is very overpriced much like every thing else in wood turning at the moment.
