Yep. On the whole, it's a decent buffing machine, with a handy grinder
on the side for occasional cleanup or shaping. When it dies, I'll
probably just replace the grinder unit with another buffing arm, looks
like it's just a bolt-on operation. I have uses for the contact wheel
and other components, though. I seem to always be making tools to make
knives, even when I'd rather just be making the knives and buying the
tools.
