It's a great addition to the KMG, I wouldn't quite say it will completely replace a horizontal though. But this definitely could be the best option for those that do not have a horizontal grinder. You still have to tweak your body a bit to use, but it's not so bad. Good to see your on here to...

I can get it up to 120hz from the touch pad. Very noticeable, which leads me to believe there's a setting I need to adjust to get the potentiometer where I want it. Definitely bit off more than I can chew with this complicated drive, certainly not as easy to use as my kbac24 on the disk grinder...

AH good to know. I won't be at blade this year, but I am meeting up with Reuben possibly the month before, for a 5 day bushclass.

Finally got my VFD up and running. I was saving up for the correct motor. Must admit, Baldor makes a noticeably nicer motor than Leeson and Techtop. Nice to finally convert to variable speed. My hobo mount, made with angle iron and pop rivets. All mounted up and ready for action

Small update, I ended up getting a new motor. A 1.5hp Baldor 1735rpm CM3554 to be exact. The 3450rpm Techtop didn't seem like it was up to the task, I was afraid to bolt everything in and not have the torque when I need it. Got a good size batch of knives to work on this weekend and didn't want...

Looks good man, nice work. Your stuff looks super familiar, you don't happen to know Reuben Beulio aka Bearthedog do you? He introduced me to someone at Blade last year that is either you or has your style.

stunning!

Dang that's nice!

Dang that's sweet! Very nice work my friend.

Oh yes I plan to take advantage of that

Used the extreme angle for the first time and was pleased. It'll take some practice to get good, but I think that should be quick.

Mighty nice of you Fred, great looking knife, I like it a lot.

Perfect, I've been looking for some delrin stamps.

Snapped a few more shots today, while the rests are still clean. I am very pleased with how many configurations the 3 different work rests can be setup. Here is the standard rest with some tilt. About max for this particular one. This is the extreme workrest- I was able to get just under...

Sure I understand. Direct drive would make the machine even simpler. Less parts, and since you can cut things out- it would just be a direct bolt on plate.

Looks pretty cool, I may be interested in one in the future. Question, why not make the unit direct drive? I'd sure love that option, coupled with horizontal.

Great combo!

He sells his rests on ebay. Not sure about the Extreme angle rest though. But you can also contact him direct @ dondtz@comcast.net I should have more photos by Tuesday. The extreme can tilt up to 8* from what he's said, should be awesome for Scandi grinds. I'm sure it will do better than my...

Excellent work Bruce. I continue to wish I possessed your skills.
