Yep definitely. In this case, Wilmont makes a plunge grinding attachment. I think Reeder, DD work rest, and a few others do to. It allows you to cut the plunge in accurately on a 1/2" radius.Beauties! I really want to learn to do a plunge grind that nice! Any wisdom to share?
Quite a nice assembly of knives. They are beautifully built.I'm about worn out from being an elf. These knives are my last ones for the year

Hey, have you tried letting the belt overhang the platen or wheel just a tad…. 1/8-1/4”.? I’m not sure if plunges like this are what you’re looking for, but it’s a lot faster… no tools necessary.Beauties! I really want to learn to do a plunge grind that nice! Any wisdom to share?
that is exactly what I'm looking for. I've tried the belt overhang, but I guess my hand is not steady enough or something. I make a mess of it...Hey, have you tried letting the belt overhang the platen or wheel just a tad…. 1/8-1/4”.?

They key is VLP. Very light pressure. You have to just barely “bump” it next to the platen. I’m not sure how tight of a radius one can achieve using the jig method as above. I guess it all depends on how small of a small wheel the jig will accept.that is exactly what I'm looking for. I've tried the belt overhang, but I guess my hand is not steady enough or something.
