I will measure to clarify but 1.5 inch wide at thickest part, roughly 10 inches long. I started out with .120 thick 1084, should have gone thinner but what was in shop at time.

I tears out and splinters if not careful, I go slow on grinder.

Working on my first chef-like knife, 1084 and padauk.

Getting it, will start with first book. Thanks for the deal!

Pearl Jam again today, on Pandora, love how they mix up the music with same genre.

Thanks everyone, am going to use it tomorrow, making my first kitchen chef-type knife.

Last year I built a knife vise as very new knife maker and it has worked ok. I have made a new one and it came out sturdier with 4 angles of adjustment, something didn’t have. Progress in work, added magnets and leather since to keep mouth open and scratch resistant. Will hold any length...

Correct, no vibration with bare shaft, I got the 6 inch extension and most likely culprit. I tore it down, just going to save for a Rikon slow speed. I put vise back on my stand because it was greatly missed. I built a knife vise last couple days and needed my big vise, lol.

Last question, noticed it vibrates a little while on but pretty good when turned off and winding down. Anything to worry about or normal due to balance?

First time seeing one of these, great idea. I am trying to figure out where to put my vise now, stand I made yrs ago took the buffer. Might just use an old steel car wheel and steel tube.

Thank you for the great points. Jim

Got it all put together with 8 inch wheel, seems perfect and not scary. Is white rouge for handles?

Thanks all, I will get 8 inch wheels and safety is the most important issue.

Making a buffer out of 1 hp 1800 rpm motor, I had it from my grinder upgrade. The rotation will be going down (counter clockwise) as pictured. Bought a 6 inch arbor extension (not here yet) and from research, to stay at 1800 rpm will need 4 inch pads, need confirmation. I will post photos...

I have to ask, are you PayPal or have regular credit card option. Very interested and beautiful. Can you let us know how you stabilize? Please pm me for 5 set option price. I see 4 right now that I want. I am a sucker for burl.

How much for the one I circled, turned it upside down and shows an evil monkey to me, which is cool. Shipped to 92405.

Wow, I am going to make one of those if you don't mind. Beats my arbor press.

I stamp cold prior to heat treat, with customized arbor and hammer.

Awesome idea, I am just a small town boy and hate attention. Like I love this place, feel comfortable here and small audience.
