    Parabolic Drill Bits (Nathan?)

    I'm a little embarrassed to admit, but I don't really know much about parabolic drill flute grind design. I know I use them when machining plastic and aluminum because the drill types recommend for those applications frequently have the parabolic flute grinds. Many of the "high performance"...

    finishing tubing

    The problem with chatter is, once it starts, it is really hard to get rid of it. Using a different cutter with a different flute spacing helps, but short of that, here is a tip that works in a pinch: Pack the flutes with grease, wrap the counter sink in a small square of a rag coated with...

    Coote 2x72

    The Coote is a good workable grinder for a moderate price. The KMG is a top of the line grinder for a little more. You will grinder better and make better knives faster if you get the KMG. If you're not planning on making many knives then I'd go based on price, but if you plan on doing much...

    coolant supply for hand sanding???

    If you're interested it is on sale today for $22 fora gallon. Mixed 20:1 that will make 20 gal. The MSDS suggests you could about drink it. It doesn't grow mold.

    what steel holds the edge the longest for cutting?

    I've done experiments, and I can say that HT is just as important as alloy. I have a knife made by Tai Goo (of all people) in W2 that has out performed S30V by Chris Reeves and VG10 in a Spiderco. The simplest of steel in the simplest of HT outperforming high tech. That is in cardboard and...

    coolant supply for hand sanding???

    Hah hah - dirty word censor... how about this one crunt heh heh... that is one of my favorites Nick, the problem with what you're wanting to do is most any good cutting fluid is something you want to avoid long term skin contact. I'd apply that to windex, WD40, kerosene. For this...
