Awesome WIP. Thanks for taking the time and effort to do this! Fred

Update Boss thanks for the reply. I continued to check everything out and found that the tracking wheel was not parallel to the arm. I shimmed it until it was parallel. I levelled the drive shaft with its new bearing and made sure it was square to the arm. I also went back to the spring and am...

After spending yesterday checking things out, I now have more problems! one of the bearings and the motor have a noise they did not have. I am considering replacing a flange bearing and the drive shaft, 3/4". Boss, when do you expect the shafts to be back in stock? I did find that the tracking...

I put a dial indicator on on the drive wheel and found some runout. Took the wheel off and am trying to recenter the drive shaft in it's bearings. I have more to do. I will check everything from motor, link belt to the final wheels. Thanks for all the help. Fred

Erased double post.

Thank you all for the replies. I have this show up with several belts. I buy them from Supergrit and they are good name brand belts. I think that the problem is in my grinder. I am going to check it completely from motor to final wheels. The gas strut has 20#s of force and makes adjusting the...

Hello, Can someone tell me what causes the belt to move side on the wheel. I have tried to align all three or 4 wheels, several times and I can't get rid of it. :12:I have a KGB clone with a gas strut. Drive wheel,tracking adjustment, and wheels on my flat platten. I also have a small wheel...

Roughcountry and ChiefNile, I just got one that has spent the last three days in my electrolysis tank. Hopefully today I can start taking it apart. Any and all advice would be appreciated. What is that spring like piece that bolts to the bed? Are there any drawings or photos of it. Well, I...

Doug and Kevin, Thanks for the replies. I will be sending Kevin emails shortly. Thanks again, Fred

Kevin, Can I take advantage of the offer that you made to Sunny? Thanks, Fred

Laurence, thanks for the encouragement and advice!! George, I will take that off your hands, one of these days. And thanks for the kind words. Fred

Doug, Thanks for the kind words. I made the bolts large so that they would be the same diameter as the snap that is in the handle, I don't think I will do that again.. Sheath is squared off because this is a bad version of the Loveless NYC special and its sheath is made this way. I sarted this...

Hello, I have finally finished some knives and here is # 4- O1 steel, 3" blade, 4" handle 7/16th at thickest point. brass homemade loveless bolts, has snap retainer in handle. Cocobolo handle. Sharpened top and bottom. Sheath is my 4th. Hope you like. Fred

Hello, Does anybody know how to contact Zoe Martin, Bob Engnaths daughter? I tried using the email address on the Engnath website and it keeps bouncing . I just tried a second one I found there and it also bounced. I want to send her some photos. Thanks for the help, Fred Moderators, if...

Hello, If it is 154 cm or any other very good stainless steel in 1/16th" by 4" to 6" would work. I want to make a round knife for leatherwork. I don't want to order a 6" by 72" piece for an experiment. Thanks for the help. Fred

Hello, I would like a small piece of 1/16Th by 4 or 4.5 ATS -34 steel. I would like it to be about 9 inches long, but if it is half the length, that still gives me something to experiment with. I could not find it on a normal knife maker supply house listing. Thanks for looking. Fred

Randy, Make sure that it is NOT galvanized pipe that you use for the muzzle, especially if you are indoors. Burning galvanize gas can be very dangerous to your and your families health. Fred

Thanks Nathan. I have two mosaic pins in it that aren't peened, hopefully they will push out. I think that I used Acraglas on it. I have been waiting to call Brownells. I will try it out later. Thanks again! Fred Just spoke to Brownells, they said that I might have to take it to about 300...

Hi, The title says all. I have a knife that I need to reheat treat. I thought that it was fine, but I suspect that it did not harden completely. It is a round knife for leather work and one point seems to be unhardened. Maybe it happened during heat treat and maybe I let it get too hot while...
