Put them wherever you like, but the frame is the most common.

Those are the bottom dies rockbox. They are all the same diameter, but have a crown of the specified radius.

Nah, just stick it under your pillow every night for a year.

Terzuolas book explains it real well

Very cool man.

The Pen seems to be garnering much more interest than I expected. Glad you guys like the stuff.

I played with one at a show. Thought it was really neat, and a great deal at their price.

I figured I'd post up a little peek at what I am taking to Blade this year. In no particular order. Come see me at Table # 5DD There's a whole bunch of new stuff this year, as a matter of fact, the bulk of my pieces are either new models, or not before seen versions of previous models...

Exactly the case.

Slick attachment idea there Josh. To clarify a couple of the questions I've seen. I use Hermes RB406 belts from TruGrit. Sub $3 each, and they are great belts. They have a different splice than the ones from Pops, the splice is a wavy splice instead of just a bias cut splice. Runs smoother...

After grinding a couple hundred blades on a non-cooled platen, I made the watercooled version. It makes a BIG difference. Here's a video of me grinding a small blade on mine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EzILrW8BQ0 EzILrW8BQ0 I rough grind first traditionally, or in the case of this...

Variety, communication, and speed in getting goods out the door.

I have really poor luck with TSP and high voltage colors. A little dishwasher detergent works better for me. I dissolve it in a pot of boiling water, filter through a coffee filter, and add that concentrate to my bath...

He wasn't looking for reamers Frank, but counterbores. He wants to set the heads below the surface of the material... What do you do, if not counterbore or countersink? I know some guys just use a drill of the same diameter as the head.... I never liked that method, but it works in a pinch.

And that is one of the reasons why I say the surface grinder is the most dangerous tool in the shop. Fine pole, without a doubt, and electromagnetic if you can swing it.

Yes, especially in Ti.

Sometimes I forget just how much you are THE MAN Dave. Stupid me, spending all those hours making digital files when you will do it for free !

I would question letting someone else convert the drawing. They may make compromises you would not. Look for some free CAD software, and draw it up ! The edges will taper, though how much depends on the cut quality setting at the machine. Pay more $$$ and get a better cut. Davis Curtiss is...

Are you testing 3 points, and averaging, or just one point?
