Admirals HR1080 is pretty soft, I have no problems with it going from 60 grit blaze to 220 grit norzon, it grinds real easy, any softer and Id be scared of hogging it too fast, be a lot easier to make mistakes. I only use 1080 and 01 right now so I have no input on the 1095 and the 01 is...

shank, can you tell me more about that small wheel attachment? I really need one but dont have $100, exactly how did you make those forks work and whats the small wheel made of?

Now that that other stuff is in order, This does look like it will be handy for us noobs, I just got back from the shop and using my just finished nwg I can see how this system would be awesome. Im gonna try to get myself one when I can muster up the cash, I had reservations about it at first...

Looks like it is fixed... After looking over some things, IE , no matter the version doesnt support the xhtml file type. The reason IE is trying to download the file named bubblejig_com is because the root address is read as just that and IE is simply downloading that root file just like you...

I think I have found the root to the problem. It will ONLY pose a problem to those using Internet Explorer(IE has a problem with displaying certain types of code, mainly javascript and CSS style sheets AND your problem XHTML files correctly) I usually use mozilla and I have no problem accessing...

Yeah, I am trying to conjure up a good design for a 1 x 42 sharpening rig similar to lee valley's just a little more stout, the innertube would prob work just fine, I didnt think about that. Let me know, I may have to try this myself on the wheels for my next build, have you noticed its just as...

If someone can pinpoint the file type... might be able to help. Maybe this web design degree will be of some use after all, lol. Or if someone could shoot me the file to frosstyx_at_gmail.com I can see if I can figure it out...

For friction, try some neoprene, I was thinking of doing this, for a 1x42 home built job. HERE is an example of what Im talkin about(prob dont need a whole roll) that seller seems to have a lot of different options. Wouldnt need but one strip in the center, just superglue it, betcha it'll work...

You CAN use a 3 phase motor if you get a single to three phase VFD controller, their are a bunch of em. I know they convert single phase electricity to 3 phase, I know they have to be rated for the HP motor you are going to use. Someone will chime in that knows more about it, Im a step pulley...

I am wanting to get a couple 5' bars of 154cm in 1/16 x 1.5 and 1/8 x 1.5. Has anyone ever ordered small amounts from a service center, if so how was it priced compared to admirals? I have a local service center here in Charlotte, NC... do they keep anything at these locations or are they just...

I couldn't imagine 3450 on my NWG, like Wayne said the speed using the step pulleys would be MOVIN. Craigs list is your friend, I got my new take off motor(1740rpm 3 hp single phase TEFC) for $120 from a guy off craigs list, Im usually VERY impatient when it comes to buying stuff(just ask...

All the pulleys were bought from Tracey at usaknifemaker.com Wayne, yeah I decided to jump in head first and just have a go at it, it was a good learning experience and Im glad I decided to go with the NWG design, I tried the grinder out a good bit with the insulation in place, it is a huge...

Thanks for all the positive feedback, I got my basic adjustable work rest done today and wired up a few things in the shop(switches for the heat treat oven and welder), I went to take some more pictures and the camera was dead! I will get some pictures of the platen design with some...

Thanks guys, btw Tracey, thanks for the help with the order and everything, I have never had such a great experience with customer service.

Thought I would share some pics of my grinder I just finished, I also made myself a multi use platen that incorporates a 2" and 8" contact wheel, and flat platen and a slack belt area. Its powered by a single phase 3hp motor and uses 4 step pulleys. I have a few things left to do like grind...

Get it, I just bought one using the same coupons and the same sale. Its well worth the cash, just get the 2 yr extended warranty with it, because of the coupon bringing it down to $55 it makes the 2 year warranty $10 its a no brainer, the extended warranty covers everything from accidental...

Hey guys, Im kind of new around here but have been making knives for about 4 months now. I got bored during all the snow we have been getting and Im waiting on some other things to get me back up and running so I decided to get my website going along with my makers mark. I would like to...

Ernie, Fross here, I think I replied to your post on another forum. There is no reason you cant run 220v extension cord... Amperage remains the same regardless of the voltage and that is what will defeat an extension cord. If it was me running an extension cord to power a heat treat oven I...

Hello all, I am looking for a 2x42 grinder used and decently priced, I would look for a 2x72 but the shop just cant hold such a machine nor can the budget, maybe in a couple of years. Hope someone can help me out. I also have some things I can trade just let me know what you have and we can...

I couldn't tell you how many holsters and sheaths I've taken out of the oven extra crispy...I have since learned my lesson. Happens to the best of us, never tried the microwave though.
