I ordered some 0-1 from victor machinery sales. It seemed to almost to cheap. It came in today and I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw. It was Sheffield. 2 pieces p.g. 7/32" x5" for $71 including shipping. I may be wrong but that seemed like an awful good price to me.

I use a sewn wheel at 1750 rpm. Both times I've lost one it was on the last polishing step just hitting the spots that I'm sure the average person wouldn't even notice but I knew it was there.

I'm in. Thanks Jeff. Jon"Petie"Ross amatuear knife maker,industrial maintanence mechanic

The safest speed is 0rpm!

Well the buffer strikes again. I went for about 20 knives without losin one in the buffer. Now I've lost 2 out of the last 3. Putting the finishing touches on a mini drop point ( I was all the way to finishing rouge) when the buffer monster snatched the knife out of my hands and slammed it to...

Awesome gun stock. That's a cool idea.

I've got an eight inch Delta variable speed that is fixin to be the motor for my NWG. I paid $130 for it brand new at Lowes I haven't used it as a buffer because I have a 1 hp Jet. But it would work the same.

My order is in. Cool!

Did I mention that I was trying to get out one little mark before the final sharpening. My perfectionist problem got the best of me this time. The knife was a prototype and was being kept for myself. It's a nice one for the burial ground nickel guard, sub-hilt and butt with alternate ivory and...

I've been warned several times to stop using a buffer and get cork belts for my grinder, this will probably be the deciding factor. I've lost them in the buffer but a knife that's almost 12 inches long movin that fast is pretty spooky. I'm using a 1 horse jet so boggin it down is pretty much out...

I was putting the finishing touches on a Randall #1 style fighter when my buffer decided it was hungry for a big bite of steel. The knife I was working on is completely finished now. It came out of my hands and hit a grinder edge first. It looks like the cookie monster got hold of it. I guess...

I've never heard of anybody using the automotive paint. I know the ceramic paint works and I've heard even better things about the rose mill powder. I would be really curios to know if the auto paint works I just don't want to be the guinea pig :-)

It's a water based 2 part ceramic paint. I put it on with a brush let it dry then you heat treat as usual.

What I'm using is CG-11/CG-16 andits rated for 2200*. A.O. Smith is the supplier I don't have a website but I have a phone #(859)727-3500. Rose Mill Co makes a powder that is supposed to be as good or better. You heat your pieces up to 450* sprinkle on the powder then it's business as usual...

I'll never do another knife without this paint. Open flame 0-1,0-6 and no decarb except where I screwed up when I put the paint on.oops When I quenched them the paint fell off both knives. Amazing stuff I'm sold. Jon"Petie"Ross

I'll find out tommorrow.The oven is down so I'm using a Wayne Goddard fire brick forge to heat treat with. I'll let you know how it turns out. Jon"Petie"Ross

I got 2 knives coated and ready for the oven tommorrow night. Never used this stuff before but I've heard a lot of good things about it. I'm using A.O. Smith CG-11/CG-16 on an0-1 drop point hunter and an 0-6 fighter got my fingers and toes crossed...

Just ordered mine about5 minutes ago. Jon"Petie"Ross
