Disaster - I killed my W&B meat chopper!
I just had a bit of a disaster in the garage. I was trying out a new setup consisting of a 6" bench grinder and some abrasive sanding wheels, and sisal/cotton polishing wheels.
Anyway I wasn't concentrating (for that read "girlfriend came in to ask if 8pm or 9pm was better for coffee with friends" :mad: ), and I managed to catch the razor on the polishing wheel. It "bit" and was launched downwards at a fair speed onto a concrete floor, resulting in a small chip out of the blade near the heel, and a 'ding' in the blade up near the point. :eek: :cry:
I'm pretty hacked off, it was a great blade with lots of potential for refurbishment and I was planning to make it my first major restoration.
But I'm wondering, since it's a big blade (over 8/8" wide and over 1/4" thick across the spine) - would someone like Joe be able to re-grind this down to say a 7/8 or 6/8 and thus salvage something from this disaster?
What do you think Joe, feasible or not?
Cheers,
Iwan :(
