    Thoughts on making work rest slick?

    Without oil, something reasonably permanent? I looked at the fancy 3m 5490 slick tape and love the idea, but its $130+ for 36" that is prohibitively expensive. Trying not to scratch my blanks as much when close to finishing so either putting tape on the flats, or covering the work rest. I...

    Whats wrong with my KMG 2x72??

    How thin of steel can I hollow grind?

    I have a 12" contact wheel. How thin of stock can I use without making the hollow for lack of a better word too thin. I understand I can feather and move the hollow up and down. Im more asking from a theoretical sense. I saw a lot of older makers use 3/16 and 8" wheels. Very interested in...
