To answer your question, yes. Anything is better than nothing. However you will want to upgrade when funds allow.

They have three different grades. The one you referenced is not the same as the others. They have an aluminum oxide cloth backed grade that goes to sub 3 micron, which is past 2500 grit on the american system. That being said, I do agree with you that they would not last very long, but if...

Has anyone used the micron belts supplied by micro surface? I used to use their sanding pads in my pen making, and I'm sure these would make it much easier to polish since their Aluminum oxide belts go up to 12,000 grit which is sub 3 microns. A 2x72 belt is $11 and change, so pricey...

As the title says? I don't have a lathe, so I can't make my own. Does anyone sell titanium standoffs? I guess I could purchase the rod and then drill and tap, but I was hoping for something slightly easier.

Ok. So I'm going to have around $120 to spend at MKS. Here is my shopping list for the folders I plan on making. 7/32 pivot with shoulder stand offs 2-56 1/8" stop pin thumb disc ceramic platen 2x6 the new black peel ply 82 degree countersink (for handle screws) #2 counterbore (for stand...

Really it depends on what you go with. I asked the same question a while back and got this answer. Counterbore for pivot counterbore for handle screws drill bit for pivot drill bit for handle screws drill bit for handle pivot (if the pivot isn't going to be hidden behind the scales) drill bit...

That's about the sickest thing I've ever seen. I know quite a few Ronnievous guys who would literally kill for that pistol and knife.

Another option would be to see if there is a Composites One location near you. They are generally an industry supplier, but sometimes sell to to individuals in 5 gallon pails but generally are only interested if you want to buy 500 gallons or more. They carry everything from swing resin used...

Will it work good with a chisel style single side grind a la emerson knives?

I've been debating on what steel to try. I can get D-2 locally for I think $9.35 a lb. in 1/4" thickness, less for 1/8" obviously. If I buy a drop, I get 10% off. Is this a decent price? I'm thinking about trying D-2 first before going to the newer CPM steels. Any suggestions or links to...

Another forum I'm a member of moves the for sale posts that have been sold to a sub-forum of the for sale forum for archival purposes. This cleans up the for sale forum, and doesn't leave a lot of junk laying around. I think it would work here, because as I was looking at posts and...

No problem. I used to work in composites in a former life, so I'll help when I can.

You don't want a casting resin. A casting resin is not designed for a lay up like a micarta handle. It is designed for encapsulating and a bubble free void finish, while a laminating resin will be designed for maximum layer adhesion. Have you checked out other sources? www.jgreer.com is...

Nice stuff. I know he'll be happy. Did the stall mat come with that diamond pattern on it already? If it did, where did you pick it up if you don't mind me asking?

I'm in.

Ok. So I've got the basic large tools I need to start making some tactical folders. I'm making a list of what else I will need so I can buy a bit from Tracy every paycheck. I'm kind of lost :confused: as to what size screws and drills and taps and other miscellania I'll need for a liner...

Don't see how you can beat godadd for hosting. 150 GB Space | 1,500 GB Transfer 500 Email Accounts, and 25 MySQL Databases for 6.99 a month or cheaper when you pay for a year or two at a time. Or 14.99 for unlimited space and data transfer.

The old three wheel model that they no longer seel did have the 3/4 hp machine, but the current version only has 1/3 hp.
