Dude, it looks like you're plotting hyperspace jumps! those are gonna come out very cool. What grit are you using on those nifty belt sanders?

 

[moosecreektrails]

Primary 12 per side(Might go to 10) , Rolled edge 17 per side, Main face 8 per side. Needs a final polish and hone the edges.
Can I rename post. Misspelled Grind:grumpy:

 

[moosecreektrails]

the belt grits are 120 and 80,

I only use a file on the edge.

Very cool, man! Keep us posted on how it comes along. And tell us more about your little jig and grinding arrangement! Very interesting, as well as that edge guide plate thingy.

I found the gauge. Did a Google search for it. It was $30+ ea. No returns or exchanges. I'm thinking NOT!

The handtool sharpening gauge is available from the General Services Administration, item number: NSN 5210-01-324-2776, NFES 0510.
