That is what I was looking for simple to make easy to use. I have made 3 of these. I have one that cuts bevels for axe heads and 2 for knifes with a bifferent angle. No fancy setup on checking to see if angle is correct because it never changes. Thanks for sharing your knowledge John B aka PopPop

I'm totally new to knife making, so I may be talking out my bush here. I've been researching DIY jigs and this one seems to be the easiest for folks that don't have that many power tools. The only thing that I would add to it would be nylon caps for the bottom bolts or the adhesive glides. That way, if you're using it a lot, it won't produce a groove in your platform over time. That's what I'm planning on doing to the one I build so if you be so kind, let me know if I'm on the right track. Also, I don't weld and some of these other jigs require it. But, I do JB weld! So, for some of you discouraged on the welded jigs, get some JB! Not to be confused with JD. That's good too though. Happy knife making!

This jig works great with a wheel grinder too. I have clamped down my angel grinder and used this tool to cut bevels. I have glued sandpaper to a board and hand ground bevels in New blades. When I am at the hunting club after hunting we challenge each other that was when I thought up the glued sandpaper to a board. Well 5 minute appoxy

Btw you can bolt your work table underneath your tooling arm on your kmg. I don’t have one, but I figure if it is drilled and tapped all the way through then it should not be that much of a problem.

@swalowit

I LIKE IT !! BUT I think I would of used the Hardware in opposite places. I'm going to go make one now except instead of hex head bolts ground to desired height secured with a nut. I'm going to drill & tap the two holes and go with a low profile rounded head that i could adjust and then lock in place with an elastic stop nut. I think that will give a good lock with the vibration with out possibly stripping the few threads by over tightening. I'd like to also come up with a better set up to hold blade. I was thinking a hex head bolt would be better because it has a larger even flat surface. I'd also like to incorporate a clamp system right into that portion of the jig and eliminate the need for a bulky additional clamp. Any ideas or criticism of mine please respond. I'll comment back with how it went and the clamping system I come up with when I'm hands on.

Did you clamp the blade onto the face with the two screws or does it sit on top of the screws? Also, what is the width of the angle iron you used, 2" square, or something, looks good, I want to try that, I've only got a 1"×30" beltgrinder though...

So how do you assess what angle you need for the different grinds?
@theriversexperience9383
@theriversexperience9383 4 ай бұрын
It really just depends on the intended use of the knife. With that being said, I don't focus on the angle as much as I do the height of the bevels. Whether it's going to be a Scandi grind, Saber grind, or a full flat grind. This plus the height of the blade from edge to spine are what helps me figure out what "Angle" I would be grinding at.

You can make it adjustable - just move the two holes in the base toward the edge and tap them... then you can adjust the angle by turning the bolt - use round heads with a nut/washer to lock the position.

I made one a couple years ago, that was at about 7° from the work rest and most of my stock is .187 stock. Seems to give me a decent height in my bevel. The only problem I have, is when using a jig, when k get near the tip of my blade, my bevel doesn’t want to stay even and gets noticeably smaller toward the point. Any suggestions? Thanks!
@theriversexperience9383
@theriversexperience9383 Жыл бұрын
Sometimes that's really just because of the blade profile. On knives with a big curve up towards the tip, you need to rotate the handle side of the knfe back towards you as you grind up to the tip.
