    Grinder/Belt Question

Smooth as silk with 60 and mostly 120g.....It is not a chattering or skipping, but more "knocking" and only when the blade is on the platen. Brand new belts, so I don't think that is the issue. I...

    Advice on bevels

    Thanks John, great tips! I am marking the blade edge, but never thought of marking the spine. I haven't had a lot of trouble getting an initial bevel (1/2" or so) down to my scribe lines on the blade edge....my trouble begins when I try to start "walking" that bevel down. I'll get to a decent...
