A little work on the HF grinder

[resinguy]

Since there are a lot of HF belt grinder fans here, thought I would link to a thread on the Swamp Rat forum. Even a hack like me can do a half-azzed job with one.

They do work well and can save you a ton of time when trying to make something convex. I did the main grind with the 1x30 and did the finish polish by hand to my JK hiker, probably one of my best ever.

Great job resinguy. I havent got the nerve yet for a job like that>

hey, does your grinder track correctly and have a correctly lined up platen?

Got the same thing and the tracking is off a bit less than an eight of an inch (can't adjust anymore) and the platen is just retarted.

Im thinking of using a few days before exchanging it, just trying to see how many ppl got good ones.

And your waki sharpening job is great!

Glue a thin piece of leather to the platen, it will smooth it out.
