Hey guys, I have a question about doing restoration work using a power sander/grinder. I have a 6" variable speed grinder and I am using greaseless compound. First round is 80 grit. There is a lot of pitting on the blade. It is an H. Boker & Co. 5/8 Up until now, I have been using sandpaper and muscle grease but finally broke down and bought a wheel.
When using a wheel, how does a person not damage or over grind the spine area. I have been trying to be extremely careful but on the left side I have removed too much of the spine. I have a feeling I might have ruined this wonderful, old Boker. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Here are a few pics.
I dismantled the razor. I think the scales are salvageable. The pins were nasty so I turfed them. The wedge is usable too. However I was a little over aggressive and fanned out the spin on the left side in the middle. Not sure if that is repairable or how to repair it. Also, the blade has a frown and again, don't know if it can be saved. It looks like the bevel at the heel has been taken out.
Thoughts comments appreciated.
Kind regards
