thanks Frank, i honestly didnt understand all what you said (im no good with hardware, ironic isnt it?) so will check your post again when i'm at the band saw. and yes, while it should run between the guides, its almost halfway out of them. thanks for the info Eric, thanks. normally i use the...

hey guys i bought a dewalt portaband while ago and used it for handle material and it was great, but when i started using it for cutting thong tubes or knife steel things got bit messy the tubes shave the teeth for some reason, any idea why? (and i think once the steel did that as well) i...

i just bought my oven, this thread probably saved me a lot of heartache :D but i', about to start learning HTing so i'll have abundance of that anyway lol

This might be too obvious, but no local suppliers in Canada? My problem is all the ones i asked here in Egypt gave me through the roof prices

thanks Warren yeah thats the same issue for me too, lots of people liked the Enco, but i would probably end up paying double(at least) after shipping and customs i will probably wait for Tracy's video, but so far leaning towards that one

thats an awesome timing for this thread and the video i am expecting my HT oven anytime now and started looking for hardness testers too the price of Enco one seems good, problem is they don't ship international as far as i remember i found this on ebay yesterday, any ideas? or will that be...

Lol True!

thanks large aluminum here is not cheap!! in fact mild steel would be much cheaper i believe

Dwane its matter of cost and space also the new grinder's arms wont necessarily fit the old one and vice versa

hey guys i've been wanting to buy more wheels for quite sometime, the KMG i have was bought used from UK each attachment has its own arm. now i'm thinking about buying more wheels, 5",8", 12", one of which will be serrated (or 10") and i want to have single tooling arm that i would have...

Thanks guys Yeah i decided not to work with the guy, and he didnt contact me back so thats good, although no telling whats going in his head. In our last conversation, we talked about the fact that if i sold him a price he would either take it or leave it, no haggling BUT he is not also to...

Thank you all so much Yesterday i was finishing up a knife (i thought it was almost finished but i had more grinding to do tahn i expwcted) and i took my time getting close to the scribe lines with 80g, then continued with 220g till the lines disappeard. Thanks a lot for the diagram, thats...

Laurence, i dont understand the last part, but yeah, i want one who would be happy with my work as is and promote me well, not modify my work!

Tracy, you make a valid point, and im not opposing the idea of a selling through dealers, in fact i went to couple of stores that sells arms/hunting stuff but none seemed interesting, and im waiting to hear from another. BUT the problem is that dealer that i specified above, i do not trust, he...

Thanks lerman Very true

thanks all yeah my problem is with the final finishing edge, pre HT its a big deal because i can always remove more material later and i often grind a bit and leave thicker edge then finish up after HT i will try a new approach soon and see how it goes :)

thanks Warren its not as simple as that, maybe i didnt ask teh question correctly what steps do you take? for example i use anything between 36-80g to establish the bevel, with 36 i need to stop way before the line i scribed, with 80 not so much, but still stop short to give bit of room to...

Im a noob at this, but i know the simple stuff is 10 series like mentioned above, O1, 5160 spring steel) But all these have a tendency to rust specially if you live in a humid area I think if you stretch your HTing skill a bit you can try D2, you can HT yourself (several ways to do it, air...

Hi all Im new to knife making and i have trouble sticking to the edge thickness before sharpening Translation: i mark the edge, but i either go past the lines and end up with thinner edge, or to counter that i end up not reaching the edge and with a thicker edge How do you guys do it...

i wish i was able participate in something like that
