With the ability to drive the motor so fast, I think a small drive wheel would be the ticket.

I don't think more than a minute per razor. I do all of my rough grinding at one speed, and all of my post HT grinding at another. It takes less than a minute to move the belt to a different set of...

Well, times change. As my grinding skills have improved I don't see myself ever using that lowest speed and I decided that a higher roughing speed would be better, so I have a larger drive wheel...

Only 5 days to get the right wheel to you. Not bad service.

This speed talk got me thinking about my speeds. Since I rarely use my lowest speed and feel that my highest speed could be higher, it seems obvious that I should use a larger drive wheel. BUT that...

When I built mine I was going to use a crowned drive wheel also, but the friend who made it for me questioned it and said that his drive wheel was not crowned and his thought was that it shouldn't...
