Here's the update. When you hit start the breaker flips. It is on a 20 amp circuit. Thanks, Justin

Hi Guys I have putting parts together for about a year to afford my grinder. I have the GIB and it is the same as done. I had bought a motor a long time ago off of ebay. I have 110 power in my little work space. I went to hook up the kbac 27d to my motor and realized my motor is 2hp. The...

Hi The world would be a nicer place if everyone helped each other more. You did a nice thing and I'm sure it was rewarding. If some of us wanted to do something for you, could you please give us your address in this post, or if you don't feel this is the right place for your address will you...

Please put me in. Thank you,

This is a wonderful prize. I will take number 683. Thank you,

What I am meaning is if you want your billet to be 1 1/2 wide and it is a bit wider in certain places or fatter in some places than it should be, do you use a surface grinder or mill to make the dimensions even?

Hi I was wondering what equipment or machines you use to square up the surface and edges of a damascus billet when you are through welding it up? Thank you,

What a great give away. Count me in. Thank you

If anybody is interested there is a 25# little giant hammer that has been converted to air for sale on the Denver craigslist. I'm not trying to hijack this thread, so I hope that posting this does not offend anyone. Justin

I know I am going to build an H press. I see them with cylinders on top or on bottom. Do you guys have any opinions of which would be better or worse, or any reason to build it one way as opposed to the other?

How far past your dies would yours go if it didn't touch first? What are stop blocks, how are they used, and what are they made of? Do people put stop blocks on the retraction side of the shaft also, and is it just the coupler that goes around the shaft?

I've got another question for you. Do the dies touch each other at the end of the stroke or does it stop just short?

The reason I was initially thinking of 110v is because I found a 110v hydraulic power pack that was portable. I did not realize everyone was using motors around 5hp. I was going to have the power pack be seperate from the press.

Thanks for all the input from everyone. I notice most of you are using large horsepower motors. Is there a reason to use a large motor or would a 110v motor putting out 2500 pressure be enough? Maybe if we get enough information and pictures we can make this a show us your presses thread.

Hi Can you tell me what you think the requirements for a good hydraulic press are? I am meaning size of cylinder, size of shaft, length of stroke, what size motor(will 110 work or will you need bigger),tonnage, and anything else that would be good to know? Pictures of your presses would be...

Hi I am a noob, with not a lot of extra money. I have a few knifemaking videos, but if any of you have any knife making videos you would like to sell reasonable, please let me know. Thank you for your time,

Hi I live in Colorado. I am not a knife maker yet, but have been studying and reading everything I can get my hands on. This is sure a helpful place with a lot of nice people. You should all be commended.

Will this coupon work with items that are already on sale? Thank you,

Hi I have never used a kiln before and was looking at an older skutt that was for sale. It had a round knob to adjust the temperature and a guage with a needle to measure the temperature. It is a 110v model with a small chamber. When we turned it on the temperature started to rise in the...

I was wondering if it is possible to lay a top load ceramic kiln on its side and put a firebrick in the bottom to use as a shelf for your knife holder?
