hey guys and gals
my name is chuck , been watching and reading
man there is so much knife stuff out here in the web - it gets overwhelming
i am thinking i am wanting learn how to make knives
i have a bum hand/shoulder/back so forging is out of the question
i am looking at a couple grinders 2nd hand
carborundum industrial machine 2 wheeler, 3ph, 2hp, 6" contact wheel, 2x72
this is a bad ass grinder it just hums , comes with phase converter (easy to vfd later?) would need to make platen and tool/work rest, seller is asking $350
and
mystery machine "two" wheeler with a platen i haven't been able to get much info out of the guy, looks like a purpose built knife machine i have looked at hours of pics trying to identify with no luck . pretty unique tool / work rest . seller is asking $450
i am really drawn to the carbo because it is built to last a lifetime - generations even. three phase power should be easy to and cheap to vfd. would have a whole other side for future imaginings
i like the mystery machine because it is unique but conventional, comes with platen
or should i just keep saving
thanks for all the great content
i will keep reading and learning
