The Pro Edge Linisher.
This linisher machine by Robert Sorby from Sheffield England is called the Proedge. This grinding machine grinds with abrasive belt. Robert Sorbys chisels and gouges are all cut on large belt sanders in their own factory. That brought them to the idea to also make a version of these machines that can be used at home or in a small workshop. They succeeded. A super-compact belt sander! The big difference with grinding on a round stone is that the bevel of your tool is always straight. (Grinding on a round stone yields a slightly concave bevel). There is well thought about this machine. Because you can put the belt in various different positions there is always a comfortable working posture.
