Sanding Belts / Disc Etc

I like stationary belt sanders. And can see using one to " hone " a lathe bit. But expect they are not economical for sharpening lathe bits. I have both and use a bench grinder.

Suggest you figure out what would be good wheels to put on your bench grinder and then haunting Ebay for a few weeks until you find what you need at a price that you can afford.

Best place Ive ever found for buying belts...

And I use belt sanders to "grind" HSS lathe tools. Generally I will use a white wheel to rough it to shape..then take it to the 6x48 to get it the way I like it...then to the "fine" 1x48 belt. I may or may not use a diamond hone after. Generally not for most steels.

I concur with Dr. Dan.

Also please see:

Particularly the entry under Safety on 'sounding' or 'ring check'. If your wheel *thuds* rather than rings, it is cracked and you should break it in half with a hammer to make a couple handy touch up stones. Cracked wheels tend to be unnecessarily dramatic, undergoing spontaneous high-velocity disassembly.

Finally found some replacement cutters for my wheel dresser. While I was busy ordering a bunch of extra sets I also ordered a small bench sander. Belt/disc.

I've been playing with ideas for a table jig for my grinder and also for the sander for consistent angle grinding. If I come up with something cool I'll post a picture... or even something that just works. LOL.
