I've been using the Rod Neilsen magnetic disc grinder for several years and find it's a great machine ! I do have a variable speed control motor on it. From what I have read it seems to be the best of all. I know that's all some folder makers use to do their grinding and some makers have more...

Well I certainly will have to see if I can encourage my friends to make me one of these for a price while they make one for themselves. You people have certainly wakened the chickens and are creating a lot of noise - all good. Is it possible you will show and tell more for those of us that are...

I believe the S7 was often used on blades for cutting cement and such. I can remember one maker who was using it exclusively for knives.. Frank

Perhaps it's a loose screw on a belt pulley? I hope you have found the answer by now. Frank

Have you ever used the rod or piece of broom stick for sounding? place one end of the rod on or near a spot to be tested and the other end on your ear. Usually sound magnification will soon tell you where the trouble spot is. Frank

Something to remember is they do come in different grits which will work very different on different materials. Softer materials will take the use of courser files. Frank

I'm so pleased to hear that. I'm trying to recover from an illness for many months and have not been able to do any shop work. Frank

I'm now giggling too. Frank

This looks like a good one! My advice is to continue with the same attention you have put in this one. Frank

I started out with the 8" and used it for many years in making hunters. I then made a clown of the machine I had and decided to go with a 10". I haven't used the 8" and as matter of fact have loaned it out to a friend. Frank

Looking good !

Wallace, once you start the hand sanding do you find the lines are running the length of the blade or still up and down? Frank

Just doesn't give the same results at all, Tracy, though it does eliminate some of the chemicals if you are concerned. Frank

Hi again. the truth is I've had several makers tell me the Mobile 1 couldn't be good if another type didn't. So to move on I went out and purchased a can of this stuff because Geoff Flato told me it was great to use with only a drop or two drilling holes in titanium. Yes it sure is !!!! I then...

Hi John. I wonder if you and I are the only ones that have been using the Mobile 1 ? Well. I believe I have found another product that works even better. I may not go to the shop to work today since the heat is extreme but I'll get the product name a bit later. I tried the leather on the sanding...

Certainly, very nicely done !! Frank

Yes, VERY nice !!! Frank

Not unusual as you have heard before ! Frank

There is in fact quite a bit of difference between the 1 degree and the flat disc. The one degree allows you to go past center without a "kick out" as well the 1degree disc will not give a true flat surface and isn't recommended for doing bolsters or scales. Frank

I love to get dirty. Well everyone says I must want to, the way I can get covered when no one else does. I will try the WD-40 BUT the water does do a pretty good job. Frank
