Thread: My new grinding station

Too apropos. I had a number of windows open
and all I saw for the subject of this thread was:
"My new grin"

Made me

Thanks guys.

Regrinding so far went well. As I already said: with the smaller contact wheel it is a bit more difficult to maintain an even grind. If I'm not careful then there will be lengthwise grooves in the blade.

So far I've reground only 1 wedge. I first removed the damage, and that went well but I ended up with said grooves from lingering too long in one place. After a bit of twiddling, I found something that works rather well.

I touch the blade to the wheel at the spine, and then roll it from spine to edge and pull it off the wheel. This way, no part of the blade remains in contact longer than the other, and there is no sudden local heat buildup.

I was grinding out a big Joseph Rodgers the other night on my belt sander, and found that what you said worked best. Rolling from spine to edge. Removed a TON of steel! There was so much pitting on that razor, I was glad I had that belt sander. I would have been buffing for hours, in what took me 30 minutes grinding out on the belt sander...
