You will be a happy grinding fool with a 3hp Variable. It kinda looks like a Burr King, What brand is it?

Liam, Looks like you can certainly profile and hollow on that. What length belt does it run? Is there more than one speed?

Crowns on all give the belt a hub to ride on in the center. Makes for smooth tracking & adjusting. Some will put a few rounds of tape on a flat wheel to give it a crown. Also Brian that posted above me builds the Uber Grinder machines. So there you have it from a grinder designer & builder.

Gary, Sweet! You've got the idea now, If you can't find it, make it!:35: Besides, You may have found a side line. Custom knobs & extensions for the KMG!

Jeremiah, Sweet looking and all business! From the blade profile to the Handle & sheath.

Well, those are some handsome looking Hunters. I'm sure the boys will be Stoked! Like they say a lot these days!

Sorry to hear that. Do you have a credit card? mMap three knives, and sell them each for enough to make three more. The first buys more materials, The second pays the credit and the third one goes to the rent/Wifey or towards paying off the card! That's how I bought the Coote. 18 years...

Bruce, Congrats! First I would research the history of cut & shoots and talk about how your single/double shot black powder pistol became a hammer in the heat of battle and adding in a spike/blade for the Coup d'etat of your adversary for a few minutes. Advise them to check local laws...

Cool knife, I use 440C quite a bit. Makes a great Hunter or kitchen knife. I really like you collection of points as well!:tt1:

V-6, Bossdog sells through the top of the page Kirinite Night glow. That should keep the Zombies away or at least, distracted. LOL This stuff works great and comes in many cool colors. http://usaknifemaker.com/handle-material-hardware-c-95/kirinite/kirinite-glow-in-the-dark-3-8.html

Rudy, Whoa pal, keep your shirt on!:3: LOL There's some kind of typo in my paragraph, I didn't mean to refer to you in anyway! The auto correct spell check did something strange? Also Rudy, And I mean you this time. You had already addressed Waldors concerns as well as anyone can without...

By using even pressure with the file at slow speed, then I speed things up and I use the cloth backed paper to even and true the wheel while its moving in a kind of shoe shine as the wheel is rotating towards me I lower the shoulders of the wheel till its how I want it. Start with 100 grit and...

There are MANY more choices in 2 x 72 machines these days than when I started some 19 Y/A . There was Bader, Square Wheel, Burr King & Coote. After I screwed around with at least two of the Crapsman 2 x 48"s I finely Bought the www.cootebeltgrinder.com 2 x 72" 8" wheel. What Ed has told you...

Tim, I love this topic!:biggrin: It keeps going around!

Buffers are the one of if not the most dangerous tools we have. If it had cut one of the Arteries in your thighs you might bleed out before you could get to help. I have a full thickness full hide Apron that hangs past my knees to protect those Arteries and the family jewels! :3: Be care brother.

We needs some pics! If its a stamped Officers sword in bad shape from WWII you paid about market rate. If its a forged blade you may kick yourself for "Restoring" it. Very few people know how to policy those blades correctly and from the sound of it pal, I don't think you are one of them? Was...

Ed, I've always had that 40/50% tops on the VFD for my 1/2" & 3/4" and never run the 5/16" fasted that 30%. I've never toasted a rubber wheel, yet. I will ask if the Urethane wheels are from Sunrey and if they don't want to tell me I don't think I'll be buying.

Ed, Thank you. Now do you think its just Sunrey's formula for urethane or all of it in general? I've heard of small wheels of urethane being smoked fairly easily. I wasn't there and don't know if the operator would have smoked wheels of Krytonite? I will look into it again before my next...

Well, I personally think one of the best all around steels in the stainless dept that's been around since the 1950's is 440C I've made large and small knives with it. Now we will hear a firestorm from the carbon steel crowd! :3:

I've use Buck knives Paul Bos heat Treating for 19 years. Other's are good and even great. Paul Bos helped write a lot of the recipes for HTment for the stainless steels to be used in the custom knife industry. They have big Money $$$$ in equipment and that's all they do in that department...
