I don't normally wear glasses (I use contacts) but I just tried it with mine and it works great... You do have to use 2 hands to get the jaw shroud over the corners of the glasses when opening/closing but it's not bad. Love that it works with my beard too lol

The outdoor venting is an excellent idea unless your shop is heated and cooled, then it doesn't work very well at all. I am thinking about an inline spark arrestor probably for a dust collector, they do make those. And fyi, now is a good time to upgrade to a PAPR - they are pretty good pricing...

Wow hope your back up and running soon! That has got to blow no matter how you look at it. Yeah I've gotta be better about making sure I don't do those 10 second grinder hits just because it's "real quick" - thanks for the reminder. It also reminds me I need a good dust collection system...

Exactly right! I've gotten some good deals on motors on ebay!

Motors are getting increasingly difficult to find these days... Ironhorse motors aren't getting back in stock at least until the end of April when I checked the other day

Ahhhh yeah now that I think about it that's how mine works too!

That looks great!! So how does it work for you when you move the table back and forth, is the bucket on rollers?

I got some 1084 from nj steel baron for a decent price

You can mainly get warping when you are using some type of peening beed when you only blast one side of the blade. What it is doing is stretching out the metal on one side but not the other and causing a warp.

Yeah I believe it's decarb... Happened to me with magnacut actually. But if you can surface grind it down like .005" per side it should be removed...this was after I ground the blade aides flat on my platen with a fresh 120 grit belt. But not enough metal was removed Here's what one of the...

No, I made my own... They wanted like $1500 just for the coolant system so I made one out of a 5 gal Tupperware container and some filter bags from mcmaster lol Pm me if you want more info how I set mine up

Yeah, I definitely like IMG over TUS - TUS also seem to curl BAD on me

Finally got my hydraulic feed working on my Harig surface grinder!

Yep! I love them, best part is that they are compatible with water and won't get any residue on your platen. I normally just get 220 (I generally use ceramic below that) but last time I got some 60 grit for handles and kydex work, seems to be great so far.

You should try the sankyo economy belts from pops... Really good al-ox belts for like 2.50 ea

I toss grinding belts like they are free... Once dull they hinder my work more than help it lol

Welcome! Your work looks incredible, look forward to seeing future builds!

Those look amazing! Still baffles me how you guys inlay the shield or sword like you have in there!!

Working on some Ember 2.5's... got 12 finished up today!
