I have a 1x42 Delta belt grinder with an 8" disc on it and I used it for years and still use it. I also have a 2x48 belt grinder as well made by Dayton with a 3/4 HP motor. It is very high speed and great for hogging steel, but not so much for handles which is what I use the Delta for mostly now. I have made quite a few knives with the 1x42, but it isn't ideal, but you learn to work with what you have.
