Thanks guys! It was my first knife ever actually, hell of a way to start huh?!

Oh and heres a "little" acid stonewashed CPM 3V action for you

I use a mix ratio of 1 to 1 to 1 of ferric chloride, white vinegar, distilled water. You can remove the water from the equation if you want, just makes it faster. Generally I am doing other things while it is etching so it lets it be a little more forgiving and it allows me to get exact results...

All of this in the backyard of course: 40X40 steel building with gantry crane and 300A 3 phase power, new haas vf2, gotta have a few bridgeports, haas st 10 with a motorized tool post, grinding room split between precision grinders(od grinder and surface grinder) and bench mount(horizontal and...

You can grab a cheapo quill dro which is basically a mount and a caliper. With the spindle off of course, touch off wherever you want to zero from, zero dro. Move to desired cb depth, zero dro. Then set your depth stop at or very close that zero (only you know your machine tool and how it...

Variable speed on the spindle will be key for me when grinding titanium and the likes. Also hopefully I will be able to use it for satin flats so variable speed is a must there and I will be using a kbac24d for that since it will be exposed. On the pump side, I can get a vfd for cheaper than an...

IMO the counterbore on the handle and/or the lock relief will fail well before those bearings will.

2.5mm screws are very similar to a 2-56 just slightly larger. Measure the major diameter of the threads and go to this page and figure out what it may be. http://www.custompartnet.com/tap-size-chart

Sure they make the action smooth but the biggest benefit I find with ceramic balls are for detents. No messing around having to mask it to anodize. Time is money right? No doubt though, if your tolerances are proper ceramics make a difference. Although if the tolerances are dead nuts, PB washers...

Peters is the best IMO. Send them everything I do. They cryo everything AFAIK. Even if the steel doesn't necessarily see any benefits from it. I can say without a doubt their 60HRC 3V heat treat is awesome. Made a big ol cleaver out of it and it chops through sheep bones all day, or at least...

Yes sir its a brown and sharpe permanent mag chuck. Unfortunately though it isnt a fine pole so we will see how well its going to work for my purposes.

Hey Guys, I am new to the forum and thought I would share my latest machine tool acquisition. Its an old school Doall G7 6"x18" surface grinder. Everything works on it which is a godsend because aint no body got time to crank handles all day lol. Picked up for $1000 bucks from a local machinist...
