[TheForge] belt sanders?

All,

Can anyone recommend a belt sander that would be suitable for general
purpose and knife making? Grizzly has one for about $300 that a friend
of mine likes, but he uses it on wood and has no need to
gollow-grindblades. I saw one on an instructional video that had a
drive wheel at the back, a pivot wheel at the top, and an idler out in
front that you could get different wheels for for different sized
hollow grinds. I think it also could be set up as an everyday flat belt
sander, with a piece of plate behind the belt.

I've also seen some pretty neat wet-sanding rigs that you put the blade
into and move it on a slider across the abrasive (wheel or belt) to get
a precise grind every time. 

So such things come in one machine? I cant find what I'm describing on
google. Anyone know?

Thanks

JRF
