I recently purchased a 2x72 grinder and need some info on belts. If you only had 5 different belts you would constantly keep on hand what would they be? Brand, grit and type.
 
Yea I agree with Bill, Tracy in his sanding belt section gives great advice on how he uses his belts that I have adopted.
Personally I use
50 grit ceramic blaze as my primary hogging belt
120 grit J flex Klingspor for my plunges and to get blade to 120. Next heat treat and
lastly
220 in either Norax or Gator and Im done.
I use a
180 and then a 400 for sharpening, forget the brands but they are cheap aluminum oxide.

Just as important or more than your belts! Is your lungs!
Pickup a 3M or other top rated respirator to protect your lungs from all the Cra& that will be in the air while you are grinding! Especially when grinding Micarta or G-10..

Stay safe and have fun grinding those knives!
