The Craftsman would be a big upgrade from the 1x30 simply because the two inch belts will help you get a more even flat grind. It's a solid little machine that can make a great knife if you're on a budget and can learn its quirks. Runs really fast though.
Edit: looks like the Craftsman isn't made anymore but this one looks identical

The mods I did are remove all the dumb shrouds and hoods over the belt, jb weld a ceramic platen on, replace the work rest because the stock one has weird grooves in it.
I used the grinder below until I bought a 2x72. I got mine a bit cheaper as it was 4 years ago or so, but the same one with a different brand name. I also bought a steel platen and added it.. Worked pretty good to get me started on a budget.
