How loud is this sander on a scale of 1-10?

On a scale of 1-10, I would put it's loudness at about a 4 or 5. It's not exactly 'quiet,' but I can play music on my shop speaker at a reasonable volume, and still be able to hear it while sanding/grinding.On a related note - this is an AMAZING sander! It's a little on the pricey side, but worth every penny. I've done precision work on it with everything from hardwood to bone/antler, to high-carbon steel (scale and all)

Is this machine good to use for grinding knife bevels? If it is, is it good for long term grinding

It will sand bevels, it won't do hollow grinds because the large drive wheel is blocked by the motor. And yes it will sand/grind for long periods.

are you able to tilt the sanding assembly to be flat, or close to it?

Yes, you can tilt it completely horizontal or vertical, or anything in between.

Can you sharpen lawnmower blades

Yes, absolutely. You have to have some idea of the correct angle to sharpen blades at, but this is what I use to sharpen pretty much everything!(hint: 22* for fine-edged knives, 28* for utility blades)
