It's been busy the last few weeks. Had some down time and was able to spend some much needed quiet time in the shop. Here are a few new builds I had requests for and finally got around to finishing them.

Interesting and pleasing work.
I like.
You blade than polished? Why I ask? It seems to me that the polishing paste was not very aggressive and soft base. One can see the carbide grains. they look good in these works.
Try to experiment with polishing compound on a solid support (such as hard felts) or a more aggressive paste, the surface will be more smooth.

Thanks for the input, I will try what you suggest. I have some new felt belts on the way that I can use instead of the buffing wheels. I think that they will be better as removing surface imperfections better before final polish. They should be here in a day or two. Right now I use an emery compound followed by a jewelers rouge. Maybe hand sanding more after the final high grit grinding belts will mirror polish the steel better. Compound wise do you have any suggestions? Again thank for the input!

After stripping, further processing must be conducted on circles of the same diameter with a started. Facets of the contact surfaces remain precise.
I use plywood circles. with glued to them with emery strips different grain. I reach the blade to a grain processing A16 Trizakt 3M. It turns satin, which does not even need to polish. The remaining part of the blade is polished on a felt circle with a solid polishing paste based on silicon carbide (green, paste GOI)
It is necessary to monitor the heating blade and do not overheat it.
I think that Google gave all correct.
