I'm in the use the pro camp. I let a local guy sharpen a few several years ago and I think he clamped them up and took a mill file to them. Scott has always done us a good job.
So a local guy can't be a "pro" because yours wasn't?

Who pissed on your blade?
So I can't sharpen blades unless I'm a "pro"? What makes me a pro? My equipment? My knowledge?

Anyway I'm going to bed.
Here's the small grinder I've been using for years.

Ahhh yeah, and ROI on it would be past my lifetime. Unless, that is, I decided to open a business.
Hobbies are interesting things.

I took it from JG's original post that he does have a business, a "local" business.
Alternatively, it is possible that he bought such a machine at a deep discount on the used market. It is also possible, regardless of whether he paid full price or deep discount that he is a hobby WW like us who likes to sharpen his own blades and does not have a business.

If you get paid you are a Pro, if not you are an amateur. Not casting aspersions, just the definition of the words.

I will continue to pay........
just because I sharpen my own stuff doesn't mean I didn't pay. 
I'm just a small one man shop but even a simple tool grinder that fit my needs was fairly expensive.
Of course you did probably more than you could ever recover vs. sending blades out for professional sharpening over a period somewhat short of a few decades ..
ROI and hobbiests are funny that way to each their own is all I can say...
