Tracy, do you think the slightly anged jaws will effect the plated meeting evenly?? i think it would be ideal to cut one of my plates in half for this set up.

Could use some opinions here guys: i'm going to set up a vice to attach my aluminum plates to for quenching. locally.., or any decent quality vice all have an angle to the moving jaw which apparently straightens as vise is tightened. will this effect my plates evenly squeezing blades?? last...

I have one, too. an awsome machine! dont bother getting one unless its variable speed.., not only will you have far more controle but your small wheels will last a good long time, too.

Thanks, guys!! yes, inserts are g-10.

Hey, what a cool idea!! great suggestions from everyone so far. I would agree about trying to keep cost down. what will set this apart from other kits out there is if you upgrade the pivots to use either bushings or bearings. I would also go with a cheaper blade steel and mybe stainless...

You want to press a scrap piece of steel into those belts for roughly ten minutes straight. knock all those pointy teeth off of the belt so its good and worn. then lean into it with green rouge. it'll polish beautifully and not remove steel. much better then a buffer imo. lets you keep that...

Glad you like it, Tim :) Barker, thanks buddy, your work is wicked, my friend!!

To shim your table front to back, just use pieces of tin foil. where you tighten/loosen table to adjust height you can slide shims in there at top or bottum to square table up whichever way it needs it. i use to do this on my drillpresses until i baught a mill.

Skip the oil and just use the plates on any air hardening steel!!

Maan.., i gotta get me one of your knives!!! awsome work 2thumbs

The above TPI are goood. i use lennox diemaster 2 blades! they're the best i have found. i've cut literally 9 square feet of 3/16" TI with the same blade and it still chews through it! For TI that thin i would go with atleast 18-24 tpi.
