OK, I'm sold on having both the flat and beveled discs. I've found that both shapes shine at different applications.

My plan is to leave one side flat for a while and try to find an application where the flat side is advantageous over the bevel side. If I can't find that application then both sides may as well be...

The 9" dual sanding disk/wheel rocks for general shop work. I have three different grits turning at the same time.

I'm in the process of putting a flat disc on the other side of the wheel.

I'm doing this mainly for two reasons, I can have two different grits mounted, and having discs on both sides makes them...

It is used the same as a flat disc, but the bevel gives you clearance on the other side of the center.

Hard to see, but here is the disc installed on my 2x72.

I have my sights on a 9" 1° conical disk grinding surface now.

Nice one John!

:OT My apology to all participants for taking this thread off topic. I'll start a new thread.

I'm at a standstill with the 19" wheel. I can't get reliable tracking. The grinder tracks fine on 5/8" thru 14" wheels.

Here is a picture of my 19" wheel with the tensioner/tracking installed. I still have some tracking issues to work out, but it's happening!

I recently saw that Claryx offers a 500mm wheel for...

I may have used particle board for my 19" wheel. I guess I'm not clear on the difference.

Anyway the wheel itself is done. When holding it against the grinder I could see that the...

Yes MDF. I've used Baltic Birch plywood in the past with good results, but decided to give MDF a try as it's about half the cost and appears to be more uniform.

It's mostly for knives and general...

Not specifically for razors, but I'm in the process of making a 19" contact wheel for my 2X72. The joys of large diameter wheels is that at the scale that we are working at, they are effectively...

I do remember him acting surprised that we all didn't have water dripping on our belts.

Yeah, your description answers my question. Do you finish grind with your method too? I think that Bob Allman of OCD Razors ground his the way you are describing.

So, if I understand correctly, the center line of the blade is tangent to the wheel at the blade edge.

I've successfully created those gashes when trying to thin a spine using a push stick on a flat work rest. There are many routes to gashes!:boohoo:

:popcorn::popcorn:


I'm heavily jigged up for my all my phases of rough grinding, but do all of my finish work totally free hand.
