Ooh Mucho Blado
nice work
but any reason why you drill & not cut just cut with a grinder or saw ??
apart from lack of the tool to do so?Saved,

I think because you lose a fair bit of material with an angle grinder, and there is not enough spacing between the razors. Especially considering that an angle grinder needs to grind in a straight line. and cannot go around corners

ive hacksawed parts out, drilling holes where i need to change the direction of cut and connect the holes with the hacksaw.
the hacksaw isnt noisy, just far more laborious and defeats my peaceful break time as well
all the fun work begins after i get the blanks separated.
as bruno said there is also a fair bit of wasted material going this route, no matter how i cut the blanks out, once t the grinder the stock removl method generates a lot of waste! in time ill work into forging blades to minimize waste.Silverloaf
