Thanks for all the input, I'll definitely keep all that in mind!

Yea but I also read alot of people worry about fires when grinding metal and other particles together. Most of the dust collection setups I see are hand made

I haven't looked into that too very much, any suggestions? I know that most setups have some kind of vscuum close to the grinder...

Ah good idea!! Maybe move the kydex making inside and leave the etching and epoxy outdoors.....

I've decided to mount the grinder on a small table by itself away from the other tables (like Aaron Gough has his) that way I have plenty of space on all sides of it. Will probably put the surface plate on that workbench since theyll be used hand in hand. The drill press I'll be getting is a...

Learning more every day.......

After more talking & thinking i am going to do all my grinding pre heat treat

I always have a large quantity of sandpaper sheets on hand ranging from 60grit all the way up to 2000grit. I have a fairly decent sized bench vise handed down from my father. I have all kinds of measuring devices both analog & digital. Storage bins are something i haven't thought about. I see...

Looking for some input on the best possible layout of stationary tools of where they will be mounted on the workbench i have, the etching machine & the granite surface plate (although it weighing 75lbs, i am not going to want to pull it out repeatedly daily)would probably not have to be...

Oh i absolutely plan on documenting all of it!!

I look forward to that man, we need to hook up sometime and talk about our ventures

Yes i am definitely going to be patient (as i am with all my projects) and they will not leave my sight unless they are 'perfect'

well luckily they're going to pay half up front, which will more than cover my materials

Sounds even better!

No, I haven't purchased any tools/materials

Definitely sounds good to me man!!!

From what i have gathered, as long as the temperature of the blade steel doesn't get over the....... tempering temp (that right?) which would be 400deg)) everything should be good with doing a lot of grinding after heat treat. What type of steel are you using? How many blades will a VSM belt...

I now have a granite surface plate added to the mix ($50 added to startup) and i like the idea of using a drill bit to mark the centerline of the blade instead. Also removed the buffer and the wood stabilizing equipment

Yea i will definitely be calling you when it comes time to order my belts for sure!!!
