Thread: Post heat treat grinding/ regrinds/learning how

Hey Joe,
Im new to this aswell,
First get rid of that tape
Build yourself a little platform to the CL of the contact wheel
Get it running with a crappy belt and (using the grinder as a lathe) using a wood chisel crown the wheel from the back side of the running belt.
That will at at least true it for you.
My contact wheels are not crowned, but I used this method to true them (no lathe here)

The shoulders seem to be the trickiest part. I used to used to tighten a 1/2" bolt onto the tang so the edge of the bolt/nut to stop myself from feeding the razor too far in and wrecking the shoulder.

Hopefully some pros will chime in.

Good luck Joe!

I agree with Eric about the contact wheel.

The thing that helps me most is stopping and looking at what I am doing while grinding. I have to pay a lot of attention to where I am grinding. I am not always taking metal from where I think I am, slowing down and looking at where I am grinding is what improved my grinding a lot.

While I have only made a handful of razors and knives, I have a bunch of time grinding other types of tools on many types of grinders. The most important thing to learn is that time takes time. Reread what Charlie said.

Take your time, do not force it.

Just some pics. Everybody likes pics I guess.
