That's a 1x42 Kalamazoo. You can grind blades on a 1x42 but the belts don't last long and its a real challenge to grind any more than a 4" blade. Anyway, I have a 1x42 that I use for small tasks like shortening a screw and I wouldn't want to do a lot more than that with it although I have made a few blades on 1" belts which is why I don't recommend it. I know some guys who manage with a 1x42 but at that price I still say:
Save your money, get a Griz ...
