Anyone have any experience with a cheap vfd I could use on the belt sander to slow it down ? ML http://cagingbobcats.com/

From what I understand the single phase ones are pretty specific capability wise. I gather they are not compatible with most single phase motors because of starting current. They will also not work with a motor that has a capacitor start, centrifugal switch or any motor with a separate starting winding. I grind knives on a belt sander all the time. Just pay attention to what you're doing and dunk often. EDIT: A 1" belt sander is not likely to have any of the starting issues so you're case may work but specs would be needed to be sure.
