Works great. Only drawback is that it is very messy. Wear a water resistant apron and make a shield that covers the sides and back, cardboard works great.

The machine is a mess to use since the horizontally spinning stone slings water and stonesteel slurry all around

It took too much time and involved too much down time to drop off baldes one day and return later in the week to pick them up
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
These blades have a very shallow angle of 22 degrees and are not very wide so i had to grind the lower side of the blade holder away to keep it away from the grinding wheel
