I just don't know what I'm looking for :(

[smokyjoe]

I'm seeking a belt sander/grinder for knife making, I want to be able to profile a blade, put bevels on them and sand down the handles. Now Iv asked for advice befor on what to buy and dave bud kindly recommended me something I could start with from Axminster but they have sold out and don't have any in stock.
I was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations on what I could get, I have about £130 to spend.
Thank in advance
