Understood. The size I usually make normally posed an issue with the underpowered motor.

I started with my bevel jig that I sell and a 1x30. Learning the process and angles with the jig helped me progress to freehand grinds. I was able to get decent grinds with the 1x30 but couldn't apply the kind of pressure needed because I would stall the motor Now having a 2x72 makes a world of...

Thanks John. Having the new grinder with the vfd has had an immediate improvement on my work.

Brought up to 240 with a trizact on the new 2x72. Needs a bit more cleanup still Will get scales attached this weekend

This came out great.

Dremel makes a split Dremel Split Mandrel mandrel that has a slot cut into it- that way you can take different grits of sandpapaer and use it to finish all the way around the whole handle and works great in the finger wells.

Link to a video of the new grinder. Obligatory washer vibration test! Grinder vibration test

For my HF portaband I use Morse blades. 14/18 tpi. I get them on Amazon. 3 pack is $16. They last a good while. I cut 1/8 AEB-L. Can make 15 blades or more easy on 1 blade.

Works great. Kyle has a video and explanation of the details. But I can tell you it is very accurate and doesn't need much to make it track perfect.

My new grinder- hot off the press! Just got this in the mail yesterday. Took a few hours ( with some mods to my bench and VFD holder) to get up and running. My first impressions on this grinder are great. Solid, stable, quiet, and more power than the 1x30! This is a Kadrmas Kreation SRG 1.5-...

Texas Knifemakers Supply Reasonable cost and fast turnaround with optional Cryo

That looks great

Thxs for the reply. I will share my findings and pics after I use them.

I have gotten a few of the Ceramic Trizacts- as oppossed to the AO. I have not used yet. These Ceramics are VERY stiff and feel VERY aggressive. Any experience with these? Do they polish and work like the AO? I am worried that I got these and they will not perform the same as I have gotten...

I just got some Trizact Ceramics. Any experience with those and how they compare to the original?

Only thing happening this week was getting some upgraded electric run and my new motor and VFD set up in preparation for the new 2x72!

1. Trying to get it done too fast 2. Making a knife design that is not "beginner friendly" 3. Not using a jig. Nothing wrong with them- they only hold the desired angle- you still need to provide the speed and pressure control. My jig demo: Jig use and demo

Congrats- well deserved

I have exclusively been using AEB-L for a while now and love it. It hardens to a high HRC with a Cryo treatment and and is reasonably-priced Here is a paring knife I made. Started with .110 thick and ground down to a working thickness of .08. Blade is 3.5 inches with ioverall of 7.75 inch
