Finally. Someone shares my setup. Been using mine for 3 years. I tilt my platen for appropriate angle. Very simple. Easy to see both sides for comparison as you go. Mine’s a veteran of hundreds of blades. Lake Knives

This is perfect, works fantastic for me. I notice you have a thumb screw at the bottom middle, keeps the plates parallel and clamps the blade better. I cut a strip same thickness of blade, put it below the bolts, that does the same thing to let the jig grip the blade with parallel plates. Thank you way better than other "easy jigs".

Good stuff ! Could the table have a deeper notch for support beyond the belt? Also, a GoPro on a headband mount frees up that second hand, but you have to learn to dart around with eyes only, not your head. 👊😎

Dude, hoping you've got a tripod by now, but they Also make chest mounts, it's a harness arrangement with a mount center of chest. Takes a little getting used to but I'll bet it's better than a head mount. - I'll Definitely be building from your concept, seeing as my machine was free but came with no disc and no table, since I'll be fabricating a table I'll make it the size I need for that type of jig. Good job. Thanks

Shelley Raskin) I saw a simple one some teenager made takes maybe 5 to 8 minutes. Take a 6" to 8" piece of angle iron drill a hole with 5/16" bit (in the center on one of the inside angle piece) about 1/8" from the outer edge. Next thread the hole put a lag bolt in,or whatever type of bolt you want to use. Now before you put the bolt in take both (outsides of the angle iron to your 90 degree Belt grinder,and grind them flat; edges also) almost done. last get a 2" or 3" C clamp to clamp your blade to the outside polished angle iron to start your bevel. Now take that lag bolt,and place it in the threaded hole. Screwing it down through the hole will raise your angle iron closer to your grinder for a thinner bevel back it out for a thicker one. I apologize for typing this all out like this,but I couldn't remember what channel I'd seen it on. I made one,and I love it. It's simple to the point,and works great. I wish I knew the kids name so I could give him his credit,but I don't. I just know it's not mine sorry to say lol. enjoy.. :)

I appreciate you sharing the design. I'm curious why you harden before you grind. I'd love to see how that flat grinding jig is made.

heyjacks The reason to grind hard is that it is less likely to warp when it is at full thickness, and if it does warp a little bit I’m able to grind it out

Why not tilt the platen??? Most grinders have an angle adjustable platen, that’s why I use and it seems to work fine. Then you just use a standard piece of angle iron

Houseknives Those belts are pretty decent, I would say there just a little bit better than something like a combat abrasive. I did a video comparing belts, I’ve also done some more grinding on a very hard steel and without question the Norton blaze are the only belts I am getting for my coarse grit ceramics.The 3M is almost as good, but it’s a lot more money. The deerfos I got from super grits here in Pennsylvania. I think I like them better than the combat abrasives in there about the same price.

the issue with just a piece of angle iron is when you grind one side it would be ok, but when you grind the other there would be very little of the angle iron in contact with the table

Sorry but don't like this setup. You can't control the 90 degree angle perfectly against the sanding machine where the knife is to the left and the right of the sanding machine. It needs to be straight in front for more control. Nice try though, just move to the center and see how much better it is.
@jimboneutron83995 жыл бұрын
I dont see any benefit to grinding while its hardened. Takes longer, harder on the belts and the machine, big risk of overheating it and wasting time and money. Im sure if u can afford a $2000 grinder u can afford to build a little forge for heat treating. Or u can send them off after u do the grinding if its one of those super steels that u cant quench in oil. All im saying is time is money and belts arnt cheap
