I use the HF and a Milwaukee blade from HD. i like it alot. I added a 6 x 10 aluminum table to it using the same screws that came with the machine. I just clamp mine to a vise but hopefully someday I’ll, have the ambition to make its own stand.

Not enough knife and food Pictures on this forum.

I enjoyed this thread about your hand sanding, but gotta admit now i am totally distracted by the pork butt and that smoker.

Good to know , thanks John. i will definitely check those sites out.

Ok thanks for the tips. I am Always struggling finding that drill bit just a bit larger than the pin. I think I need to find the pin and drill it’s that work together and stick with that. I have So many different brass pins and mosaic pins I am always going to Home Cheapo to buy bits.

Sorry for the click bait, but it is really the question. This is in regards to to pins and handles. So the holes I drill in the blades, the pins slide In nicely. But I like it when my pins are just a bit larger that the holes in the wood scales. Then just turn the pin in my drill and sand it...

The fit looks amazing , can’t wait for the finish.

Very nice!!!

Hahaha so funny.

i like that idea.

Just wondering if anybody has a method of saving used /marking them.. sanding belts for specific purpose. For example I may use a New ceramic 80 grit to get some nice clean straight bevels. But then when its “used” I will save it for Rough profiling. I hate using new belts for rough profiling...

i would love to see that when finished. Nice way to give to that poor tree some new purpose. It is very interesting looking and nice grain.

These comments are Interesting an educational.

It seems like oak is not often used by knife makers as scales. Is it because it’s just so common?

Texas Knifemakers.

Yes , I think, ok I got this , it’s moving, then schreeech my blade is ruined.

Ok that’s basically what i do. i guess I don’t have to go up to 1500

Interesting I’ll research that. I use 1095.

I use a Portaband with 14 or 18 blades. I know right away when I need to normalize ( if that’s the right term) the metal to soften it. The blade just rides on itm so the blade never gets hot.

Ya know I was worried about that happening. No there was no note. Just curious , did it seem like a tape failure?
