May I ask, why don't you have the rotation of the belt moving away from you otherwise you are continually working over the top of the belt with an elbow over the top of a moving belt. Also while standing in front of the downward rotating belt it will have the potential to want to grab your knife blade due to a heartbeat of inattention or distraction, not criticising you just an observation at the way the system was originally set up and you have adapted to it, overall great work and thank you.

There is a point that one gets to when sharpening a hoof knife where you can tell that you are really really close to having a really sharp and useful tool. At that point the knife is almost perfect and yet still can't cut. If you need a knife brought to this point, I'm your man. So close, so sad. Crossing the threshold from close to sharp is my kryptonite.
I get my knife supplies at K&G in Lakeside AZ local company for me. There are plenty other Knife Co. Out there, but K&G are a great company to work with.
Thx for sharing. Is the sewn fiber wheel spinning with the the smooth grain hitting the knife blade? Do you have manufactures that you prefer for the wheels and rouge?
