Another batch of file guides ready SOLD OUT

[Bruce Bump]

Sold Out

I know its been awhile but I have to rely on the CNC Shop and they must have other agendas bigger than my little order for machine work. Anyway these are very nice. Our artist son Brian put the finishing touches on them and they are beautiful!

These are made from 304 stainless steel and have carbide inserts epoxied in a milled pocket. The bolts are also stainless but the pins are steel. If the pins were stainless also they tend to be sticky so very minor maintenance (drop of oil) is suggested to make them slide nice and easy.

They come in two sizes, 2" and a 3" measured between the bolts. Most people like the 3" as they will hold most any width blade you are going to do.

The prices are unchanged for a couple years now at only $120 including Priority shipping. Please email me for paypal info.

how do these work?

There are many uses but the main ones are to make perfect shoulders at the blade bevel plunges. I also use them to set the shoulders for the tang/guard on hidden tang knives. They would great for framed tang knives. I also found they would really slick to line up bolsters on slip joint pocket knives.

Mr. Bump, do you a smaller version? I need one for grinding the plunge in my straight razors. Thanks.

Paypal sent for the 3 inch file guide thanks.

Bruce, what is the distance between the carbide edge and the clamp face of the 304?

I have made a few 1 1/2" file guides but I don't plan to run that size again. It wouldnt pay for just a couple because of the CNC costs. Sorry

I think you're as asking about the gap when closed from the blade to the carbide? The carbide cannot be allowed to actually contact the blade when clamped down. I grind a relief of appox. .005" on each face. This allows you to grind right up to the blade.

Yes, thanks, Bruce. That is what I meant.
